Nigel Farage

Only 100% wrong, quite good for Farage

When the Home Office have more scruples than you it is time to retire or die

 

[MrSpikey]

Having achieved everything he wanted with Reform UK, most notably...uh, you know, stuff, Nigel is standing down as leader:



No word yet on where the statues will be (briefly) erected.

 

[Humberto]

I tried but I can't watch it.

 

[Humberto]

He's too bellend.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Looking forward to seeing the line up of Nazis, nonces and fantasists that will be in contention to replace him. Maybe they can hit the jackpot and find someone who ticks all the boxes.

 

[brogdale]

Be disappointing if his latest party vehicle were to disappear on his withdrawal; I've taken a liking to polls that list a party labelled as RefUK

For his own vanity project "Reclaim", and I'm sorry, but with Farage's "Reform" around at the same time, "Reclaim and Reform" sounds like the English translation of something dreamt up by discredited Prussian psychologists in the 1930s which led to the invasion of the Sudetenland. Coincidentally enough.

Made me think of that Cardigans song; Erase and Rewind...

"The concept of zurückfordern und reformieren came into prominence in 1935 following the publication of a series of papers by Larenz Schlaufuchs and Neigl Fårans...."

Well yes....but he achieved what he wanted. That's the frustrating, annoying thing. He wanted Brexit. He engineered the Conservative Party away from being middle-ground Anglican bastards to right-wing Trumpian bastards, secured a legacy, and now can retire happy. Like so many of his wealth and influence, the consequences will never touch him. (Fox, too, a likely protégé, is comfortable enough to follow the same path of extreme anti-everything, reaping the personal rewards and damning the rest of us.)

 

[Argonia]

Yes he got what he wanted but he's going to miss all those BBC appearances and all that limelight.

 

[elbows]

I wonder what the actual reason he decided to step down now is.

 

[Orang Utan]

Perhaps he’s no longer making enough money for it

 

[Treacle Toes]

I wonder what the actual reason he decided to step down now is.

Probably the same reason he's 'stepped down/out of politics' other times before when it wasn't earning him enough wedge and a profile. I dare say the bad fascist penny will show up again soon enough.

 

[Orang Utan]

That’s probably why he’s now pimping himself out as a financial adviser

the most successful politician of his generation
:grrrr:

 

[Argonia]

I am going to follow Farrago's example and put £10,000 on Sheffield United to win the Premier League.

He (or a clone) will still be on Question Time every week. (Or so I understand).

 

[marty21]

Time to post this again, Farage being interviewed outside The Bell Inn, Bath (a pub co-operative I'm a member of) . He had been kicked out for politicking inside , this happened in 2014, but I think the hand gesture of the man entering the pub towards the end of the clip is still valid & relevant today. A crowdfund later raised about £400 to buy Gesture Man a pint.

He'll have newspaper columns, podcasts, the like. And he knows there are tonnes of post-UKIP, post-Brexit splinters out there doing his work.

Apart from maybe Screaming Lord Sutch, has anyone ever put so much into politics with so little result as Farage?

I hate the guy, I really do, but he achieved Brexit, so I don't think we can characterise him as someone who had little result. He didn't become an MP, but he did change the direction of British history.

he's had a huge effect on the national discourse
