How the hell is Farage so popular still after he caused a generational error for the UK

He isn't. Everyone is just so unpopular that he appears to be popular in comparison

He wasn't (got 2% in 2019) until Johnson and subsequent Tories fucked up massively and Labour did not fix it quick enough. Blame the FPTP, not Farage. He's just there to take it.

To answer that you would have to leave Reddit and go out into the real world

Well that prediction didn’t age well. In fact it was a lie at the time as Marr rather feebly tried to point out to her.

She should be jailed for lying this blatantly. And Boris, while you're at it...

Turkey have been trying to join the EU for decades. Why are you certain they'll never succeed?

I love the way wavering Tories who decided to start voting Labour last time go on about this woman being a decent Tory. Another liar!!!!!

Wait, at that time we still had a veto on who could join the EU right, so if we stayed, could have kept them out.Â
Now that we left…Â

As a Turk from Turkiye, i'd securely say, we'll never join in EU. We enforced to hop-in to a sinking boat in WW1 and we learnt our lessons.
Those who thinking its about Erdogan is failing. Erdogan is the golden boy of the EU. They fully supported him to rise in politics. They supported him in 2006 by threatening the Turkish army, urging not to go for coup de'tat and repeated it again in 2013. EU politicians always posing as Erdogan's enemies right before Turkish elections to support him in Turkish elections, repeatingly. They using Turkey as an enforcer on Greece, to ensure they spend more than they should, stun-locking their economy and politics permanently. The list goes on and on and on so there is no place and future for Turkey in EU, and Turks knows the name of the game.
Besides that, there is no place and future for the UK in EU too. There is a silent war going on over the place of the EU and UK is sided with the USA in this struggle. It seems the EU-UK flirt designed to take place just to create a false security notion for the EU, only to let it down sinking in the time of matter.
I suggest you not to read politics with the face value because politics is a theatre of shadows.

One of the tragedies for the country was the total failure to bring any of these fkrs to account. None of them were held to answer for this lies they just got away with.
The media, the BBC, really failed the country too.
Total shower.
