Nigel Farage gets his life back

I wasn't quite sure where to put this. I guess there's quite a few slots in the Forum where it might fit in. :P Looks like fun anyway.

Nigel Farage Gets His Life Back

Satirical comedy, starring Kevin Bishop as the UKIP leader. A fly-on-the-wall documentary crew follow Farage in the aftermath of the EU referendum and his subsequent resignation as leader of UKIP, claiming that he wants to return to normal life. Adamant that he does not miss the limelight and never wanted to be prime minister, Farage tries to adjust to a routine away from the public eye, filling his days with television, trips to the pub, a new friend in the shape of Donald Trump, and the fresh challenge of growing a moustache

I missed that. But I didn't miss this.

The increasingly downmarket and desperate Telegraph has recently gone full paywall, but its latest encounter with former UKIP Oberscheissenführer Nigel “Thirsty” Farage has been helpfully lifted by several other media outlets. And what it tells us is that Farage is not only appallingly dishonest, he is a crashing snob, and delusional with it.

Just one opinion, of course.

Why should we roll out the welcome mat for a man who sowed divisions in his own country, helped destabilize Europe and then shrugged his shoulders and decided to move on to greener pastures? We’ve got plenty of homegrown political cowards and cheats without having to import one from across the pond.

The Portland Press Herald, well "PAMELA BALLINGER, SPECIAL TO THE PRESS HERALD", does not hold back on Farage.

Mainers should shun reviled Briton who campaigned for Brexit.

Yes, this is pretty unpleasant. (And I thought for quite some time about posting it.) But so is he, imo. And it makes a point or two.

Now, here's an interesting one.

FARAGE APPLIED FOR GERMAN CITIZENSHIP – AND COULD FACE 5 YRS PRISON FOR IT

Worth a read, but is it just malicious gossip? I have no idea.

As part of the Brexit divorce settlement the EU has agreed to have Nigel Farage at weekends.

"In exchange for the financial settlement, believed to be several tens of billions of Euros, Mr Farage, the former or current leader whatever of UKIP, will travel to Brussels each Friday evening and will be met by the President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker. He will then return on the 19.37 Eurostar on Sunday evenings. It is not known whether Theresa May will be there to greet him."

A short history of Niggly Farridge and his efforts to be elected as an MP.

Eastleigh 1994 - failed.
Salisbury 1997 - failed.
Bexhill and Battle - 2001 - failed.
South Thanet - 2005 - failed.
Bromley and Chislehurst - 2006 - failed.
Buckingham - 2010 - failed.
South Thanet - 2015 - failed.

But according to his spot on LBC - no, I do not listen to it, - he said, "I'll have no choice but to return to frontline politics if Brexit is delayed beyond March 2019."

If he can return to frontline politics we (the Skeps regulars) will be able to return to international fashion modelling.

"Nigel Farage quits Ukip over its anti-Muslim 'fixation' ."

Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Farage condemned Batten’s decision to throw Ukip’s support behind an anti-Brexit demonstration in London on Sunday organised by Robinson and his associates, saying it was likely to “inspire violence and thuggish behaviour .

Spot the irony. So which party will he apply to join - answers on a postcard - and will he be resigning as an MEP?
