Peter Kyle has not been on my radar. I agree that giving a senior government post to someone with a reading age of 8 (assuming that is true) is alarming. It is also noticeable that Rayner, the deputy Prime Minister, left school at 16 with no qualifications. Hardly confidence inspiring.

I despise Farage. But I think equating him with Savile because he didn't agree with a bill, was totally unacceptable and Farage deserves an apology (probably the only time I am ever going to say that).

I am in exactly the same Farage-wise. I think he is a vile human being, but equating him with Savile is the worst kind of gutter politics, the kind I never thought we would see in the UK. I now resent this Labour government even more, for making me feel sympathetic towards Farage.

Why do you despise Farage?

Everyone else is so great and the UK's been doing well under their "we're great and Farage is the enemy of this paradise continuing"?

I have no great love for the Labour party. The Conservative party even less so.

However many of the challenges the UK is facing come from the fur-lined, ocean going balls-up that is Brexit. And Farage was the main architect of Brexit. And that is just for starters.

Can you explain why that is though, Brexit being such a big deal?

I don't know how to reconcile that with other countries doing fine on their own two feet (especially when that country has very much done fine on its own feet before)
