Farage's hypocrisy

What a laugh! Led By Donkeys, the anti-Brexit group who take particular delight in showing up the hypocrisy of so many prominent Brexiteers, established Thebrexitparty.com website some time ago, having spotted that the party itself had failed to do so. Now Farage is suing them for copyright and intellectual property infringement is sueing them - get this! - using European Union law! Absolutely hilarious!

Well, as much as I dislike Farage, I am not surprised he is using EU law to defend his position.  He wishes to be employed as an MEP at any cost, does he not?

What have the EU ever done for us!?They created legislation regarding copyright and intellectual property infringement that facilitates recourse for exploitative use and cybersquatting.Oh yeah, of course, but apart from creating legislation regarding copyright and intellectual property infringement that facilitates recourse for exploitative use and cybersquatting... what... have the EU ever done for us!?Food standards?Food standards? Shut up!Sour grapes and a publicity seeking tantrum. The website’s taking the proverbial and that’s all there is to it. They’ve jokingly asked for a million quid for the domain to ad insult to injury. If Nige hadn’t kicked up a fuss we’d be none the wiser. He should have employed a better IT company, or better still had a bit more foresight regarding the most important method of communicating with the masses. Maybe a result of obsessing about a single issue to the detriment of anything else?  If any brexit party fans want to help Nigel with an arbitration route, point him at https://www.wipo.int/portal/en/index.htmlI think the best he’s going to manage is accuse them of cybersquatting - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybersquatting but I doubt legal recourse is going to be a serious threat. A solicitors letter or two maybe but a fully formed suit? Expensive road to go down for his party. I see no profiteering beyond the patently silly £1m price ticket.
