The only thing Farage did was make a fucking tit of himself.

Paul - I'm not contributing here currently.

Doesn't mean I'm not reading it though.

Farage: the man who led a political campaign to make himself unemployed.

What a fucking bell end.

Stander, I do assume you're reading.

I noted you haven't given Farage a virtual backslap for his performance yesterday. I'm pretty sure 52% of the country didn't vote for *that*.

Rich - he may be out of that job, but he does get 70% of his salary as a pension - roughly £64k/year. Plus any other funded activities (US TV, if he still does that).
He is not so principled on Brexit that he's refusing his pension from them (or is it from us?).

Whilst Farage is a no doubt a divisive character, he did somehow manage to take a fringe issue (not many cared about EU membership even in 1993 after Maastricht - regardless of Hannan's speech) and turned it into a defining issue of our times.

He's off to help Trump get re-elected next apparently.

Politics needs to find an answer to the firebrands and demagogues and learn a lesson from modern history if people want a political system that has a chance to work for everyone, not just the most recent 'winners'.

I'd like to think it's more the voting population are capable of learning a lesson from all these buffoons, but I doubt it.

Democracy eh?

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.
