(it’s not satire – it’s Nigel Farage!)
Correct me if I’m wrong – but isn’t UKIP leader Nigel Farage supposed to love the pound?
He must do because after all, he decided to use it as the logo for his party, didn’t he:
So I find it a bit mystifying why – during his recent jaunt to the US – Nigel has been having cosy dinners and generally hanging out (as our American cousins would say) with a man who not only once but twice tried to trash the pound – once calling sterling a “basket case” – in order to further his personal investments.
Here’s a recent picture of Farage with some of his US pals:
The man on the far left (!) is Ron Paul (a man who is so right-wing he’s known in the US as the Godfather of the Tea Party) but more interestingly the man second on the right with the pink top is billionaire investor James Beeland Rogers, Jr. – co-founder with George Soros of the Quantum Fund.
The Quantum Fund became famous in 1992 for supposedly “breaking” the Bank of England and Rogers and Soros reportedly made billions by betting against Sterling, eventually forcing the devaluation of the pound.
Rogers also tried the same trick in 2010 (but failed) by publicly calling the pound ‘ a basket case’ of world currencies – hoping the subsequent run on Sterling would again make him billions.
Amazingly, it’s been reported in the US that pound-loving Farage has been seen having dinner with pound-trashing Rogers and Paul.
Call me old-fashioned – but I would have thought someone who loved the pound as much as Farage would avoid socialising with people who regularly go out of their way to trash his beloved Sterling for personal gain, wouldn’t you?
Or there again, maybe Farage doesn’t love the pound quite as much as he loves furthering his own political career?
What do you think?

Also born in this year were two notable Freemasons: the first was comedian and entertainer Ken Dodd, and one Harold Roylance Howard, born on 9 October in Farnworth.”
Dodd was aquitted Ken Dodd was a freemason..

if anything exemplifies how corrupt our MSM/Govt reailly is, its this staggering fact BRITISH banks control enough tax evasion to practically pay off the national debt at a stroke.that is £1.26 trillion…That is six NHS budgets, twenty defence budgets, eighteen welfare budgets, and five UK State pension budgets planned for the UK’s 2014 fiscal year. The evasion total is the same size as the entire public sector pension fund, and only slightly smaller than Britain’s total national debt.
So why isnt the Daily Heil, Express, Torygraph , Sun complaining about that with screaming headlines? instead of forever banging on about ‘ the feckless workshy’ costing the country and wrecking the economy as if each and every benefit claimant was collecting dole money on purpose just to ruin the nation
To show just how idiotic the daily fail has become, see todays headline, apparently ALL christians will be pretty furious because pagans will be allowed to wear pagan symbols at work..so, will people who wear mickey mouse badges offend donald duck badge wearers? will batman t shirt wearers outrage spiderman t shirt wearers?
Will joe public be furious when they realise they have been scammed by the same people that send them letters to tell them they are being surcharged because they are £5 overdrawn?
Will the fucking public come to the conclusion that they have been lied to by this wretched govt, enough for them to stop haranging the disabled daily.and kick out these arseholes and stop believing the contemptible bullshit published in those useless rags?
Well will they?

Nigel Farage is a very good speaker, but so is the devil incarnate – Tony Bliar!
Like Bliar, Farage is a stooge for the banksters and anyone who hasn’t seen through this yet, ought to consider why a Merchant Banker would want to do the job of chairing a false-flag patriotic party. Could it be to totally enslave Britons (rather than just partially) under the thumb of the banksters?
The REAL clue here is that Farage NEVER tells the truth about the phony Bank of England and the totally fictitious National Debt – which does NOT exist, because the banksters at the BoE have never loaned a penny!
He is supposed to be different from the leaders of the Lib-Lab-Con, but he is still a bankster.
The ONLY patriotism Farage is in favour of is ‘Faragism’!
He and UKIP have been put in place purely to destroy the REAL patriotic parties and to give the Labour(25) perverts a free reign in parliament.
I would hope that the British people will see that Farage is all flannel and no substance.

“during his recent jaunt to the US”
Wrong, that picture was taken at the Sovereign Man conference in CHILE, Nigel did also make another trip to North America recently not to the U.S. but to CANADA.
“Ron Paul (a man who is so right-wing he’s known in the US as the Godfather of the Tea Party)”
Yes he has been called that but Godfather of the Tea Party but that oragnisation went onto be hijacked by social conservatives, I find it a little troubling you imply he’s far right as he is a strong constitutionalist and libertarian, not the authoritarian fascist you’re implying by saying hes far right.
“Amazingly, it’s been reported in the US that pound-loving Farage has been seen having dinner with pound-trashing Rogers and Paul.”
I’ve seen plenty of reports saying that Farage had a few private dinners with Paul but not a single one with Rogers, apart from the dinner at the Conference where they were both speakers. You fail to explain how Paul is a pound basher? As a non-interventionist it would be his line not to interfere for the better or worse into British economic affairs
“Farage doesn’t love the pound quite as much as he loves furthering his own political career”
Well considering hes advocating tax breaks and spending cuts and smaller government that means that I get to keep most of my ‘pounds’ whilst under your system (leftie I bet) I’d be paying the earth.

These posts are very misleading. You hve taken passages from a script written for Roy Howard’s 50 years as a Freemason, written by a Senior Officer of our Province. Niether of which has been anywhere near Flint. I do think you ought to clarify that you donnot implicate Roy Howard in the affair.
One final point if a mason is involved as you imply, just because one is does not mean that we all are, and if one mason is iplicated, our Masonic Authorties would shouls any information get to them “bounce out of the Order”. So if you have proof of mis doings send them to United Grand Lodge of England or the Provincial Authorities in North Wales.
I have no time for wrong doers either in or out of Freemasonry
