As officially announced by your late lord and master, you are apparently all low-grade people who are not even fit to buy him a drink. I hope we will find you behaving with due humility in future.

"All"

No, that's not what he said is it?

Not exactly, but he was being less than complementary about the party.

We always knew UKIPers were "low grade people" but it's amusing that Farage has finally realised this as well.

Yes, but the OP has misunderstood what was said (or deliberately twisted it for a wind-up).

Surely this is what every high-profile politician says and/or thinks pretty much all the time? The one thing they all really hate doing is dealing with the people at the bottom of the heap, and having been a (non-political) temp in a constituency office I can entirely understand the sentiment having seen them close-up.

The vast majority are entirely worthy and want to do the right thing but there's those that get over-enthusiastic or have too high an opinion of their own abilities for no reason other than the only other person standing at that election was the homeless guy who thought it was worth a punt for a change of scenery. Then you get the 'associateds' who think they own everything because the donated a fiver six years ago at the christmas party, and the list goes on.

And then obviously there's the uppity temp who was only there to work the computer (which back then was the sign of a dead posh office) who thought their opinion was worth more than a sneer

It strikes me that the leader of a smaller party (especially UKIP) "needs" to be involved anytime an individual member steps out of line. The media demand to know what they personally think about what an 8th level drone said/did and this doesn't happen in the bigger parties.

Of course they need to take some of the blame for that as they don't have the mechanisms in place like the big boys do, first port of call for the media is the head honcho and not "the party" (as would happen with red, blue or yellow).

True, and in the world of twitbook, all voices are equally loud

Farage is forgetting he's one himself.

He does say the daftest things sometimes - then has a oops moment and denies it all.

You know UKIP members though... they will pick at a mite of dust in the other parties and ignore the beam in their own.

Its the guardian, and incase you've missed it at the bottom of the page

Since you’re here …
…we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but far fewer are paying for it.
Seems to be a guardian problem...... shouldn't publish shite for stories then.

Should have included the word 'Farage' in your thread title OP. You can garner a lot more nonsense, hate and sweeping statements that way.

Well for once I'm not going to argue with you about it because I agree, but I'm afraid anyone expecting any kind of loyalty from Farage is barking up the wrong tree.

Anti-establishment figureheads tend to be part of the establishment. That's how they get the money and connections to be all anti money and connections. But they don't really like the rest of us.

Well, I am sure that all loyal UKIP members will follow their usual viewpoint that if Nigel said it, it must be true.

Just look at anti-establishment Trump and all the Goldman Sachs people and the like he's putting in his cabinet...

Are you not a 'fan' of pro-EU, Greece helpers, Britain Stronger in Europe bankrollers Goldman Sachs James? One would expect you to prefer Goldman 'keeping an eye on/helping(?)' Trump.

Maybe it's just the kippers with skanky pants Nigel thinks are low grade?

That's 'mote', shurely +/- 'plank' and/or definitions/usage/correctness of 'beam' versus 'joist', and of course 'support member'

Oh, those poor deluded UKIP supporters. And all they have to comfort them is Nuttall, clone of Farage. What a bunch!

I can only guess he was referring to the yobbish elements.

He is talking about the party operatives and NEC - not the rank and file.

He is of course still very much a part of UKIP as he leads the EFDD group in the European parliament.

Hanging around Trump in golden elevators has obviously gone to his head.
