    The BP must be winning by a mile; the up-tick in smears and claims of breaching this and that rule from their opponents have gone into overdrive in the last twenty four hours.

    From the clips, the Farage events seem to be a presumably deliberately hokey and low rent version of the Nuremberg rallies. The British like to keep their fascism low key.

    and they don't seem to understand how counter productive that is - the £5 one is the most staggering until you see who is trying to smear, then you understand

    BP events are low rent versions of the Nuremberg rallies? Jesus.

    Oh dear Nigel appears to be breaking electoral law again:



    Foreign currency donations are legal, I donated to the Tory party in CHF when I lived in Zurich.

    More remainer fake news. She should at least have doctored it into Roubles or something...
    Donors have to be on the electoral roll. The implication that if it's in nasty foreign money it must come from a nasty foreigner, when the foreign currency is the euro, suggests that this dreadful woman's spiritual home is UKIP, though.

    Has anyone checked how much it costs to rent the Reichsparteitagsgelände these days? Will probably need many more of those foreign donations to host the final rally there.

    I see Cadwalladr's twitter profile picture indicates she is seeking the unvarnished truth regarding all aspects of electoral law with respect to all parties giving neither fear nor favour to remainers or brexiteers.

    We have had almost 3 years of No Deal planning it is not as if the civil service have been doing nothing to prepare.



    There is a rising anger amongst Leave voters up and down the country we are still in the EU as Thursday will prove when the Brexit Party storms to victory and if the WA is rejected a 4th time by the Commons then No Deal it will have to be until a new WA can be negotiated with the EU, with a technical solution replacing the backstop if necessary

    In other words, No Deal Leavers have no plan.

    It is No Plan Brexit rather than No Deal, because on day zero+1, the first thing that we have to do is strike a deal with our biggest trade partner.

    Is that taking Tory voters as those who say they will vote Tory at present or those who voted Tory in 2017? If the former, the results are unsurprising. Boris supporters are presumably more likely to declare they would vote Brexit Party than Javid fans.

    Germans resident here can vote in the European elections and also stand but may still have German euro PayPal accounts? Maybe it’s a donation from Nigel’s ex wife?!

    Seriously what with fussing over £5 donations and Dan Snow and Layla Moran implying the New Forest district council’s electoral registration office is a hot bed of Brexit party supporters putting their leaflets in with postal ballots we have hit peak remainer hysteria!

    Calm down - it’s only the Russians doing their usual stuff......

    Nah, I am pretty chilled about it all, after all it is the Tory party and the Lexiteers that are on course for humiliation next weekend.

    The Brexit Party cannot form a government, and in any case shouldn't count their chickens just yet.

    That's correct. As we know, some people on Twitter are going potty over perfectly normal election leaflet deliveries.

    The FURY of remainers at Nigel being good at politics. 'You know who else made emotive speeches?' 'You know who else used to have cheering crowds at their rallies?' It's brilliant.

I really do despair of high profile Remainers: they need a level headed charming figure head, instead, as I have said before, even the best of them look a bit demented by Brexit.

    Four weeks ago I do not believe that nominations had closed!

    To be fair, it's also cos he's friends with fascists on the continent. If he approves of fascists, it's ok to assume his beliefs overlap theirs.
