Title: The wisdom of Nigel Farage
Post by: Harrowby Hall on August 15, 2019, 09:05:35 AM
So, Nigel Farage has spoken (he possible thought it was in private) and has revealed the quality of his thinking processes.

I am not a royalist - I would welcome a republic (with a non-executive president) tomorrow - but I think that his comments about members of the UK royal family reveal his baseness and true nature. In marrying Meghan Markle, Prince Henry has "... fallen off a cliff". I presume that this is (1) a reference to the Duchess of Sussex's ethnicity and (2) reflects the rather large quantity of unfavourable comment and fake news about the Duchess on social media.

His comments on "Charlie" reveal scorn for the greatest single threat facing humanity: global climate change. Farage also appears to wish "Charlie" an early death.

Has Nigel Farage, finally, allowed his true nature to be glimpsed by his adoring public? Or have we been allowed to glimpse some of the Brexit Party's non-brexit policies?

He always was a pub bore. The people that like him will likely agree with the latest from him.

Also note his backer Aaron Banks comments about Greta Thunberg.

A joke. Apparently.

I have to agree with you on this one, it doesn't seem to be very palatable to me.

Proto-fascism?
