With homophobia as severe as that, Littlejohn probably needs to be put down.

I smell bullshit.

Well i did warn you.

UKIP sacks leader:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43098646

UKIP members vote to sack party leader Henry Bolton after controversy over racist messages sent by his partner

Who's next in this revolving door of a party leadership?

[Skarjo]

Kinda worried at this point because I put my business card in a fish bowl in a country pub once thinking I might win a steak meal with a bottle of wine but that might also be the UKIP leadership selection process.

They're finished. Financially they are strawberry floated unless they find a major donor soon.

Farage might come back if he starts running low on media opportunities

[Regginator3]

UKIP's entire raison d'etre has vanished. Of course they're finished.

I can't see him coming back for UKIP. Maybe a new party backed by Putin Arron Banks?

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if he campaigns for re-entry to the EU when his gravy train has finished. Wasn't he arguing not too long ago for a second EU referendum to "settle it once and for all"?

In other words...

He'll found the Keep UK In Europe Party (KUKIEP).

For a story like that I think I'd want a more reliable source than just the Telegraph.

What's wrong with the Telegraph as a reliable source? It's hardly the Sun or the Mail.

To try and counteract their cratering circulation figures, the Telegraph tried to become the Mail. It's an ongoing process and hasn't done their journalism any good.

Firing all the journalists and sub-editors to try and cut costs wasn't a good idea either.

Depends what flavour of Brexit we end up with. If it’s really soft (unlikely I know!) then UKIP or a UKIP style party will find support.

I have an autograph from Farage, it sits in my collection alongside a bunch of random Labour and Tory politicians.

Question time on Thursday 1st March is Nigel Farage, Diane Abbott and Ken Clarke. Must watch car crash tv.

As a regular reader of the DM comments section (I don’t know why, it can’t do my blood pressure any good) I am not in any way surprised by these comments and how many upvotes they’ve received.

I bet they are the same people who moan on about how England has 'paid Europe in full'. Bunch of dicks.

I heard on the radio this morning that student debt stood at 1% GDP in 2009 and it set to raise to 7% by 2022. That surely has to be completely unsustainable.
