Is this bonkers?

[David Johnson]

A former New Age traveller whose husband became a millionaire a decade after they separated has had the go-ahead from the Supreme Court to make a financial claim, 20 years after they divorced.

The couple separated in the mid-1980s having lived a New Age traveller lifestyle and divorced in 1992. In the mid-1990s Mr Vince began a business career and went on to become a green energy tycoon after launching a company called Ecotricity. His ex-wife lodged a claim in 2011.

Is this completely bonkers or am I beginning to sound like Nigel Farage?

You are correct, it is completely bonkers and anyway Nigel Farage does sometimes have a point.

Yeah he has a point every leap year. And even then its a stupid point.

That's women's lib for you. They wanted equality but sometimes it seems they are more equal than us poor men.

Family law is one of the many areas in which there is much discrimination against men. Predictably though, feminists prefer to remain shtumm about such inconvenient truths.

You got to be very, very committed to get married it would seem, particularly if you think you may earn some serious dosh.

I disagree with everything that comes ut of Farage's gob. He is the biggest con artist around, stockbroker turned hero of the working classes. A phoney and a fraud. If he ever got close to power workers rights would be even more diminished than under the tories,the NHS wouldn't exist , and anyone who isn't white would be deported. Not my kind of guy,

[Milk Tray Man]

"the biggest con artist around" .... so a typical politician then!

On what basis do you make the claim that he would abolish the NHS and deport all non-whites? Do you have anything of substance to back that up, or is it just the usual hysterical left-wing hyperbole?

"stockbroker turned hero of the working classes."

Or poacher turned gamekeeper perhaps? And as far as I'm aware, he's never claimed to be a "hero of the working classes". That's a label that others have attached to him - some in a complimentary way, others sarcastically.
