I'm a little worried about you, Nigel Farage. The reason I feel worried about you is that a lot of people are frightened in our country and are feeling afraid and frustrated.
There is a corrupt group in our country, using our resources, taking away our jobs, taking away our housing, not paying tax and exploiting us.
Let me tell you something, there was an economic crash and a lot of money was lost. His mates in the city farted, Nigel Farage is pointing at immigrants and the disabled and holding his nose.
Immigrants are not causing the economic problems that we are experiencing.
I enjoy seeing Nigel Farage in a boozer with a pint and a fag, laughing off his latest scandals about breastfeeding but this man is not a cartoon character.
He ain't Del Boy. He ain't Arthur Daley. He is a pound shop Enoch Powell, and we've got to watch him
The critique of Nigel Farage on the BBC is often weak and shallow and misses the point to why he is so dangerous.
However there was an exception which was that time when Russell Brand exposed Farage for exactly what he is live on #BBCqt

Destroyed him..... but he is still here.

and Farage was obnoxiously smirking at him. Russell is pretty much a pacifist or he would've clobbered that ass.
