YES! Farage Milkshaked

[RingoMcCartney]

Low bank is correct. There is absolutely nothing suspicious about a party whose leaders whole raison d'etre is supported by Russia only accepting a maximum donation of £499 via an anonymous source. It is clearly a coincidence that £500 donations and above need to be accounted for, and the suggestion that the Brexit Party could be financially backed by a country like Russia is conspiracy theory nonsense. When has anyone in the party's leadership ever had questionable financial arrangements or borderline treasonous agendas?

No. Nigel Farage is a stand up citizen and would never collude with any foreign hostiles against this country for the advancement of his own interests.

The Peoples Vote only accept votes of £499.

"As we are now in a regulated campaign period for the European Parliamentary elections, we are campaigning in them as a non-party campaigner. As a result we are registered with, and regulated by, the Electoral Commission during this period. This means that donations over £500 have to be verified as permissible, and those over £7,500 published by the Electoral Commission, as required by law.

We have, therefore, set the donation limit to £499 because in a regulated period, any donation for campaign purposes below £500 is considered a small donation, which means that individual donors don’t have to be checked."

You cant donate anonymously to the People's Vote. You have to use a credit or debit card. No e-wallets.

With Nigel Farage's Brexit Party you can only donate via PayPal. Why?

Here's how it works.

As a party you are required by law to record and report donations above £500.
You are not required to do this for donations below £500.
But if you suspect misuse then you are required to report your suspicions and investigate for yourself.

So, how to get around this if you want to allow misuse but obey they law? You require people to only use an easily anonimised payment method. This allows misuse with hundreds or thousands of anonymous donations which never need to be made public. And even though you "suspect" and misuse you know that any investigation you do will only lead to a dead end, as intended. This way when the electoral commission asks "did you investigate these suspicious donations" you get to say "of course, and here's what we found - - nothing".

Everyone knows it's corrupt. Everyone knows exactly why the party only allows people to donate via PayPal. Including you. But in the eyes of their supporters it's OK for the Brexit Party to do this, just like in their eyes how it's OK for Russia to interfere in our elections. As long as Russia is on their side they don't mind that Russia attacks this country. In fact you all welcome it.

"clean bill of health" he says, after wearing a lead suit during an x-ray and saying the scan shows no evidence of injury.

If you feel there is any financial shenanigans at the Brexit Party, I suggest you bang an email off to the electoral commission.

They can visit their offices for a 3rd time in less than a fornight in a further attempt to uncover financial irregularities.

Let us know how you get on.

Why would I create another "person" to give them the inevitable future reflective glory as another remoaner disappears into to the ether rather than answer straight forward , but argument winning , question!

[RingoMcCartney]

No. There are many many Guardian readers and channel 4 news watchers, who actually want to believe exactly the same.

Only PayPal? If so, and they also limit donations to below the reportable limit, then you have a good point.

Are these both true?

Labour certainly has a Russian influence problem but its not through their donation procedures.

[Lowbankclaret]

So the Brexit Party are claiming they have raised just over 3 million in subscriptions and donations.

They are 100,000 members who have paid £25 each and 1 person who publically admitted he has put in £200,000.
Many members on the forums are saying they added a £10 or £20 donation when the subscribed.

So if there is Russian money it’s a fraction of what’s been put in by its new members.

They have employed 4 accountants who are checking every transaction, if they think its dodgy they cancel the membership and return the money. That’s what they said last night after the electoral commission had spent 7 hours doing an audit and found not one transaction that was suspect.

The President of the Czech Republic was at last nights Brexit Party rally and spoke in support of Brexit and the fact it has lots of support abroad.

[barba]

Reports are that Farage is trapped on the Brexit Bus due to people surrounding it armed with milkshakes.

You're still the main man but don't get carried away, it's not that difficult to wipe the floor with the remoaners who post on here.

My message to those misguided posters on the eve of what looks like a great victory tomorrow for The Brexit Party:

Millions of remain voters have accepted the Referendum result. Most of them are as sick of the remoaners as the 17.4 leave voters, and many will be voting for The Brexit Party in the EU election and beyond.

The common denominator is that they know the difference between right and wrong and don't share the remoaners interpretation of democracy.

In other words the remoaners who post on here are in a small minority of the 30+ million citizens who voted in 2016.

I'm an accountant and I specialise in this kind of work. Unless the descriptions of how the system operates is incorrect then the vast majority of donations are either going to be deemed dodgy (insufficient data to assess where they're from so they must be returned) or they're going to be deemed OK (insufficient data to show they aren't from where they claimed to be so they're OK). Paypal doesn't pass enough information through for a conclusive view to be taken either way. There's a difference between finding everything is correct and not finding anything wrong, I don't know what the electoral commission came back with.

It may be that all transactions are fine, it may be that they're all dubious, it may be somewhere in the middle. The issue is that the way their donation system has been set up obfuscates that information.

Now it may just be that the Brexit Party isn't capable of organising taking payments themselves and found it easier to pay Paypal's fees and this is just an unfortunate side effect. Or it may be they are receiving loads of money from overseas, the nature of their system means that people are going to question it.

He'd think a dog called Brexit getting second prize at crufts would be a great victory.

What he's failed to realise is that since 29th March the Remainers have been winning because, instead of leaving the European Union, we've stayed in, otherwise known as remaining.

It's all part of the process of reversing the decision of a corrupt and misinformed referendum, next up is the collapse of the Tory party and a general election.

What does that have to do with tomorrow? He's been riding the EU gravy train for twenty years, he's the laziest and most corrupt MEP there is and while he campaigns for Brexit he has no qualms about going back there for another term.

He has no intention of leaving the EU, if he did he wouldn't be trying to get re-elected.

He'll also be fiddling his expenses and building up his pension, we voted to leave the EU and started a complex political process to get out of it, he doesn't have to do anything except give up his seat, he talks about Brexit and yet he's trying to get himself re-elected. He's like a Burnley fan who claims to hate Blackburn Rovers but buys a season ticket for Ewood every year.

He had nothing to do with it, David Cameron started the referendum to leave or remain in the EU.

"Calls for a referendum on Brexit were being strongly made in 2012, by a significant number of Tory MPs.
In simple terms, some politicians were becoming frustrated with the influence the EU was exerting over the UK and at least wanted the relationship to be looked at."

Nothing to do with fake Farage, the career MEP.

It's widely believed (just ask Lancaster) that the reason Cameron put the referendum in the 2015 Tory manifesto was because he was frightened of losing too many votes to UKIP, a party who had come to prominence under the leadership of Nigel Farage. Maybe someone else could have done the same job; but they didn't. Farage was leader of UKIP and UKIP were the prime factor in getting the referendum going.

[Lancasterclaret]

Can't argue with that, the tories have always shat themselves over Europe and UKIP by offering a simple solution (which of course it isn't) would cost them votes in the South, south east and south west.

So Dickhead Dave gambled, and we are where we are.
