It was a rhetorical statement.

I believe Hoyle over Farage

I like Hoyle and trust him . . If Farage is lying about this ,surely he must get into trouble for it

Speaking of Brexit, Farage has been in the news claiming that he's been advised not to hold constituency surgeries in Clacton as there is a fear he may be the target of knife crime ....Yet he's been over to USA since the election about 4 or 5 times where there is much more knife crime:

 

 

 

 

They do seem rather more keen on crimes using assualt rifles - and guns of all kinds -  than in the UK as well......................

Who would have thought that Farage would turn out to be an idle, dishonest grifter who didn’t do his job properly.

The funniest thing is the Sue Grey business - broken by BBC's Political Editor Chris Mason.  

 

How do Labour supporters try and deflect - by pointing out Mason's salary being higher than the PMs!

 

There’s only so much longer Starmertroopers can keep gaslighting with their whataboutery.

 

He’s a hypocritical, arrogant arse and only the most indoctrinated keep shilling for him.

 

I like his wife's new nickname - Victoria Sponger!

Why all the hoo hah about an ex Civil Servant getting a salary commensurate with her ex employment..

The list of numerous civil servants shows many in the £200,000 plus range.

Government minister are welll behind including the P.M are not well paid compared to many ,including Council Leaders.

Boris struggled on his salary but managed to supplement it in a variety of ways from the party faithful.

There’s some hypocrisy afooot here.

Yes, but it's something else to be outraged about; when this dies down there will be yet another try at a story intended to cause division, diversion etc.
In reality, if he's remained in his previous role as DPP, he'd likely be paid more than a PM's salary.

Wanted: new DPP on salary of £225,978     Law Gazette
The Attorney General’s Office has officially begun the search for a new director of public prosecutions – who will be paid £225,978 to lead the Crown Prosecution Service.

The salary is a slight increase on what current DPP Max Hill KC is paid.

A general comment: Whichever party is in power, those who hold a different outlook will attempt to 'cause division, diversion, etc.'

 

It is not limited to one side or the other.
