This goes much deeper than Brexit.
An insincere smile doesn't hide the acts of a sly, underhand character.

Because, for someone who is not a party leader, he seems to get an awful lot of media coverage, with his "opinions" being aired much more often than those with opposing views.
It'd make more sense if the guy who is no longer leader of the small, insignificant and declining wing of the Tories wasn't treated as though he was some sort of political guru adored by the whole nation.
He isn't the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

It only goes as deep as the eventual realization by many politicians that UKIP had a dangerous popularity and that Brexit was a possibility. Farage was fairly innocuously popular as good value for comment in the first decade of this century because he represented a point of view that did not coalesce strongly enough into any anti EU faction.
If one was cynical he was accepted as a sort of safety valve so that anger with any aspect of the EU could be dissipated. It was only the slow realisation that NewLabour had adopted immigration and EU policies that resulted in a mass movement to the UK of low income workers that helped popularise Farage and UKIP. Largely because the three main parties were all now seen to be singing from the same song sheet as regards the EU with no alternative view on how beneficial the EU was or indeed how much we had ceded power to its bureaucrats.

“And Mr Farage even claimed he could help Trump bring peace to the Middle East.
“We can work with Trump in the Middle East, where we have to have a coherent approach to (ISIS) and everything else,” he said.”

Aww God help us! LOL
Quote:
“Mr Farage also demanded more peerages for UKIP, but said he is unlikely to accept a place in the House of Lords himself as he is considering yet another bid to become an MP in 2020 - despite seven previous failures.”

Ooh, nice insult there from The Mirror!

Oooh.
I'm gobsmacked this hasn't been all over the "liberal elite media".
I recall the fuss about his offshore trust (typical of this self-seeking hypocrite that he loves his country so much he spares it the burden of looking after his money), but didn't know the family firm had been wound up because of unpaid tax.
I think we should have a law that anyone seeking public office has to publish their tax details.

Oh you are so right. I know Will Self was derided (on here) for his QT appearance but he had it spot on when he described Farage as a 'grubby opportunist:.
And I know this is well OT but I've just seen this quote and thought it bloody brilliant - for want of a better place to post it - I'm sticking it in here.
And at the New Yorker, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie points the way forward:
Now is the time to counter lies with facts, repeatedly and unflaggingly, while also proclaiming the greater truths: of our equal humanity, of decency, of compassion. Every precious ideal must be reiterated, every obvious argument made, because an ugly idea left unchallenged begins to turn the color of normal. It does not have to be like this.
I've just read it again ^^ probably more relevant in the Trump thread but a grubby opportunist is a grubby opportunist.

I think that quote is equally relevant to this forum and our media in regards to the lies and smears against Corbyn. And

The ugly idea started in 1972.
