The point is to piss him off, no? That was my point anyway. Maybe it failed, but judging by the reaction, it didn't.

They do it at Halfords too. I gave them a fake email then realised they'd overcharged me and I had to go back and get a refund with no receipt.
Not going back to Halfords anyway. They're shit for everything.

Leave him stood there doing his talk for three blokes and a dog when he expected an audience of thousands?
That's only going to work for the first night though isn't it? Fair enough for that, but what's the point in registering for any of the other dates from a UK IP? As it is, it looks like he's attempting to leverage this outrage against his free speech for publicity for the rest of the tour.

Why?
Yes, Nigel will be the real winner out of this. Why didn’t I see it before?

🇪🇸 my spirit is crying for leaving
The point is to do both, stop people going, and to piss him off. Also to have a bit of fun doing it.
because they can just assume anyone who's booked a ticket from a UK IP called 'seymour butts' isn't a real registration?

That's a fair point.
Time to book some more, by selecting a US server via - 4everproxy: Free Web Proxy | Unlimited VPN

Well they can but they will have to assyume that everyone with a UK IP address has booked in bad faith. That'll likely mean cancelling genuine bookings too. Besides, they've shown that hand already. People will now be booking through VPNs.
Either way, the goal, to cause the campaign and its promoters added grief and a headache, has been achieved.

Because, imagining myself in his place, it would irritate me. As I said, I might be wrong, but I don't think I am.

Exasperated, not angry.
His response. And the fact that most things seem to irritate him.

The link in the OP seems to be blocked for the UK, but I can view it via a US proxy, but I've tried 3 different US servers and none loads the 'register' page.

Because he posted a long public rant about how irritated he was?

Of course he's pissed off, it would have hurt his ego.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
It’s not that difficult is it . The small number millionaire backers need the man frog to be seen in front of large audiences to drive the social media echo chamber for their core demographic. They know most people won’t pay their own money to turn out. This tactic makes it much harder for them to deliver the effect. I imagine they will go for a much smaller number of events by some kind of invitation only. So not only is it a laugh - it’s also activism.... an much easier than chaining yourself to a JCB for 17 hours in the rain.

He may be a cunt but he doesn't live in opposite land. If something annoying has happened to him and he appears to be annoyed, I believe that yes.
Not to say he won't try and spin it to his advantage but so far he's just coming across as a petulant little crybaby, and that will impress nobody.

My dog already has tickets for every show on the tour.
The report that's been widely circulated that 17 people turned up doesn't seem to be true anyway, this is a photo Kent Online have of the Pittsburgh event, which looks pretty full to me:
Literally all you're doing is making a bit of extra work for eventbrite, and giving Nigel Farage something else to rail against. Great activism guys.

I couldn't give a fuck about activism, I just like irritating people. That one took about 20 seconds and I like to think I contributed in some tiny way to Farage's annoyance, however mild. And now we've got you on the hook too, so double whammy!
