Subject: RE: BS: should UK leave the EU?
Michael, I am amazed at you. Nigel Farage is a confounded liar who homes in on our EU contribution but who never mentions the benefits we receive. I suppose we could put it down to the fact that they are far harder to put a monetary value to and that he's too thick to do it. But I doubt it. He is also a racist and a scaremonger. He wants to stop the influx of migrants, as we know, but he tells us that it's largely because ISIS might be embedded with them. He believes in collective punishment then for offences that haven't even been committed. One of his spokesmen on the radio today said that Turkey, who is looking after two million refugees at a cost so far of six billion dollars, should not be helped. He is a shallow populist who deals in the easy crowd-pleasers but who won't confront the hard bits that would in any case would just get people yawning. He knows exactly what he's doing, but you appear not to.
