This is the problem with people who so readily lie, they can’t keep on top of all the lies.

You know he’s going to get away with it. He’s got away with a lot worse.

Liar caught lying.
No doubt he will say next that he wasn’t calling for the US to impose sanctions on the UK three days ago when address Congress …. Oh, he already has.
StateOfTheEnemy on
Was he lying then or is he lying now? Probably both.

In his defence, why would he buy a house in Clacton? It’s clearly full of cunts.

As much as I’d like to bemoan Farage at every opportunity, the fact his long term partner brought it probably after conversation can easily cause someone to misspeak.
I’d be more interested in why they aren’t buying property together

Absolute shocker… A man who lies repeatedly is caught in another lie.
h00dman on
So he did lie about his house purchase.
Perhaps not to his accountant or his solicitor or his financial advisor etc.
No, just to ***his constituents***.
We really do need to get past this idea in society that we ordinary folk are less deserving of the truth than others.

Behold how our media and country work.
Rayner, has been crucified in the media over her payment of stamp duty tax, the media hate her, absolutely hate her so her story has been massive to the point she’s been forced to resign from government.
Rich-Boy Farage, is able to to use a loophole to do the exact same thing only in a much more deliberate way.
Double standards.
If your gonna shit all over Rayner then you gotta drop a dump on Farage for this too.
SoggyWotsits on
If people can’t see the difference to this and Rayner’s situation then I worry about them!
WackyWhippet on
Yeah but… but they are all the same! Except Rayner who should be held to a different standard for some reason.

I don’t understand why he didn’t just say he now lives in his constituency, that’s the pertinent point. Whether someone rents, owns or lives with a partner is immaterial (unless you make it material by lying about it).

Why isn’t the title “nigel farage caught lying”. Admits he was wrong sounds like awww never mind nigel. When reality is he lied as usual and was caught lying

Give him a break, he could just genuinely not have a clue where Clacton is and assume his house is there.

He needn’t bother. Reform voters are immune to hypocrisy.

The chances are he is once again lying, he wanted to avoid SDLT, like he wants to avoid income tax.

I’m surprised that there aren’t rules that say an MP must own or rent a property in their Constituency within x months of being elected.
And that they should hold a certain number of surgeries in person a year.

>The Clacton MP, who is also paid a £94,000-a-year MP’s salary has in the past criticised people who try to avoid tax as the “common enemy”.
>But the fact that he diverts money away from his prime-time TV show into his company means he paid only 25% corporation tax on profits instead of 40% income tax, and could offset some expenses.
Hypocrisy much?

This exemplifies the difference in how the British media treats working class women and upper class men.

Is there a single thing he hasn’t lied about?
Time for a by-election… bye bye Nigel 😂
