      It’s right that I should now stand aside as leader. What I said during the referendum campaign is I want my country back. What I’m saying today is I want my life back… I have never been, and I have never wanted to be, a career politician.

      Nigel Farage, MEP 1999 - 2020, Reform President 2021 - present, after resigning as UKIP leader

      He got exactly what he supposedly wanted with the Brexit referendum, and then fucked off to do TV and radio interviews. He’s not a serious leader, just a shit slinger who refuses to take the mantle and be left making hard decisions.

      Never mind that he’s bankrolled by Arron Banks, who seems to keep having meetings with Russian oligarchs and ambassadors for ‘business deals’, or that his trophy wife may be a spy.

    Torn between whether moral judgment from Bojo means a low bar or a disreputable source.

        Unfortunately they’re different orders of shite.

        Boris: corrupt Churchill wannabe.

        Farage: corrupt Enoch Powell & Oswald Moseley wannabe.

        Of the two, the latter needs to be kept as far away from No. 10 as fucking possible.
