Election gift for Johnson:

On the topic of election gifts for Johnson, it's interesting that Russian donors are contributing their own 'gifts' to the Conservatives. If the UK leaves the EU, will the Russian Federation move to include the UK in its Eurasian Economic Union and thereby replace the 'Brussels bureaucracy' with Moscow's version?

Although disappointing for Brexit supporters, Farage probably is doing the right thing to make sure globalist Labour doesn’t retake Parliament.

There is something rather contemptuous about Nigel Farage.

His abject, so called Brexit Party martyrdom in some 317 Conservative-held seats. Is Farage starkly, or strangely a UK political Shakespearean Shylock?

The Merchant of Venice’s portrays Shylock as either an evil spirit, the now contemporary Jewish stereotype, or are the electorate to believe a tragic figure whose sense of decency, I contend warped, by the so called persecution he prophetly endures?

If Farage is walking away, it is because, Farage has been behind the scenes deal making. It will only be after the Election that the public at large will be aware of the shenanigans.

I respect Farage, but I cannot abide his pompous self interest and importance, the propensity to believe that UK leaving the EU, begins and end with his egoistic form of Fargism.

Brexit with the Tories in charge now looks odds-on. I was looking at the electoral map, looking at the polls and doing the maths last night and it looks horrific.

I hope for the sake of the less well-off that I’m totally wrong, but it looks like the Tory dogs are going to be free of the EU to savage the U.K.

This is going to be ugly.

Yawn.

Best wait for the manifestos, before jumping to conclusions.

There is a multitude of political factional scenarios. Tactical voting through to electoral pacts in marginal constituencies. Brexit is clouding the issues and more than a whiff of betrayal is behind Nigel Farage campaign.

Globalism is a concept, probably best left in the classroom. As globalization......
