He sometimes frequents it. It's not the Westminster Arms but not so far away.


Serious suggestions


(a) Ignore him

(b) Politely tell him what I think of him

© Talk loudy and facetiously about what Brexit means to me

(d) offer him uptipped high tar fags and hope these will fastrack his demise.

(e) Ask why he is drinking amongst the people he loathes


(d) is not a serious option as untipped Capstan Full Strength or Players Navy Cut don't exist any more.

Freaky that this thread is now under 'Man of Kent' - I hope that this is a pub not a rally call for Farage.


Should have added before you get on your high horses that all are entitled to free speech, and quiet entertainment. But big difference between taking your family out for a nice pub lunch, as opposed to having a beer with your party mates in Westminster.

if its the pub I'm thinking of, loads of politicians drink there and there's never any aggro as its a really well run pub. Just enjoy your night out with whoever you're at the pub with. If he goes there every night and becomes a regular that's different than if he is only there sometimes.

My mate (former user of this forum from way back) saw him the day of the result in a pub and walked up and said "wanker!" right in his face. He said he felt a bit better about it, and that Farage looked nicely taken aback considering he was surrounded by his croonies.


I'd have loved to have seen it, because I just can't imagine it (although I do believe it).

The problem with this whole "let's show politicians we don't like their message" is that most people around here are rather measured and reasonable people.


But once this sort of idea spreads to the less measured and reasonable, you end up with a Jo Cox style incident.

Wow, that?s a bit of a leap from calling someone a wonker, to murdering them. His presence does offend me and he has pedalled hatred, intolerance and total bollox, which is why he should be held to account. But how you do this appropriately and subtly is beyond me.


Thanks for your posts though which have given me some nice food for thought. Particularly like the last one.


I read 'nut' hin as 'knob him' - now there would be a stunt.

You do love a bit of name calling, don't you uncle? A couple of weeks ago the left were all Nazis, now we're all like Muslim hate preachers. And how is Loz's "Let's show politicians we don't like their message" trying to negate the democratic process?

No


It's a Pokeman. I'm going to capture this Farridge.

Of course he does, it's better than actually engaging in debate with people. You ask him a direct question and he ignores it, preferring to show up in a thread and chuck comments like that in. It all feeds his deeply-rooted sense of superiority, which is ironic given what he thinks of people who disagree with him.


He hasn't got any actual points to make, he just likes being abusive.

You can call him whatever you like on a local forum, but the minute you decide to accost a politician in person when they're effectively off duty you cross a line that I don't think should ever be crossed.

In a sober moment I dom't think there is an issue in asking him why he is so xy and z, and saying that it is sad the impact that he has had. A man of no doubt some intelligence and good education who has stoked up a hatred and a divided society. Perhaps ask him what he thinks of Oswold Mosley. Dennis Pennis could do it just brilliantly.

I pretty much agree. Maybe there's a point when a politician's actions or policies become so vile that confrontation is justifiable (actual proper racists/fascists maybe), but someone like Farage isn't in that bracket.

    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
