Plenty of Tories up here EK - will keep the Union together
He wasn't a banker, he was a commodities' broker. He acted as a counterparty at the LME when brokering trades in futures/options in zinc/copper etc.
It'll be great to have him back as he has been missed.

The most influential politician of our time.Brilliant orator and a man of the people.For those of you who haven't listened to his show then do yourselves a favour and tune in.Unlike O'Brien, Nick Abbot and fatty Fogarty, Farage actually gives his callers a fair crack of the whip in letting them get their points across.The fact he was ignored in the honours list was an utter disgrace.
Was it because he has been a serial loser as a politician, failing to win a seat at Westminster seven times or failing to gain a seat for any party he represented over his lifetime?

Quite incredible really that a politician who only represents a party based in a relatively small part of the UK, clearly won a debate against politicians who represented all of it.
I remember before the last two general elections, where he continually bored us with polls on here which either showed Labour ahead, close, or gaining ground.
He's a born loser who knows nothing about politics, and given the slightest chance he'll report you.
That's a clear and simple lie.
The poll didn't show anything of the kind, it simply showed from a sample of the public, who they thought had performed the best.
And from the defensive position Sturgeon was in, she would have had to do something pretty bad not to look okay there against the main parties.

I thought you were posting a video of Sturgeon actually getting the better of Farage not a useless pole.Not surprised though because on a platform it would never happen. In football terms NF is Liverpool, Sturgeon is Walsall (no disrespect to Walsall )
Maybe I can help you? The yougov poll is a UK wide one conducted after the debate. Needless to say Nicola Sturgeon was at a massive disadvantage in the poll as she only represents the people of Scotland yet she still came clearly ahead of everyone. Don't you think that is amazing? Btw I am not Scottish but I appreciate fair play. If you do wish to watch the debate in full, there are plenty of viewable options on youtube.
Regarding your comment re football teams, Sturgeon has led her party to incredible representation at both Westminster and Holyrood whereas Farages total, in a massively larger geographical area, is zero.
I am sorry that your agenda may not allow you to appreciate these facts.

Farage developed a party from nothing to become the largest party for MEPs elections,UKIP then Brexit party in less than 20 years against the major parties of UK,hardly a failing pp.unless you allow your hatred of the man to obscure the facts.
No hatred I assure you treetop. As we both know, the EU election turnout is always abysmal and is only used as a protest vote. Farage has a perfect record for gaining seats at Westminster-zero.

A VERY large majority of the Brexit vote went to the Conservatives as you well know PP.Without the Brexit party (Nigel)the stalemate which enveloped Parliament over these past 3 years would have continued.Labour supporters most have Farage with a passion because it is him and him alone that has allowed the Tory's to take complete control of the HOC...Great innit
From a personal betting point of view, it was as good as it gets.
Cameron , May , Corbyn , Swinson , Boris
They were all looking over their shoulder , some have been destroyed including Corbyn , good
