Given the public's appetite for Nigel Farage's "normal" way of speaking, should Joey set up a rival party given his straight talking-bloke in the pub with his mates-manner? For those who didn't see Question Time last night:

The fact that you've quoted this from "celebrity news" suggests no. The fact that he's an overpaid footballer with a criminal record suggests no. The fact that he wouldn't have a clue if he got elected anywhere suggests no.

After seeing the guest list for last night's show, I deliberately avoided watching it. I had absolutely no reason to sit through a pair of 2@s like Barton and Piers Morgan duking it out on TV. Although I may watch on iPlayer after hearing about the raving loon from UPRIK and Morgan's attempts to take the moral high ground on any subject should prove amusing.

I'd pay a few quid to see them duke it out in a boxing ring though.

Maybe Joey Barton’s comment has gone over some heads, he is obviously attempting through analogy to convey the notion of the delusion of choice within a ‘managed democracy’ such as the UK.
Voter 1 says to Joey “Bullet or a knife” Joey says, “neither thanks” Voter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc think Joey is an idiot and carry on never questioning what they were taught on their mothers lap.
