He is a good talker, but only loyal to a cause where he gets most of the benefits!

He is still active around Europe talking to anyone wants to hear him. And is now active in UK again trying to get the brexit we all voted for.
I imagined that our second female PM was going to be another Thatcher, and would fight tooth and nail for us and our country.
She has let us all down, being in favour of her (and her husband's) big business chums. I'm surprised she is still in office but then, as I have said before, they look after each other.

Farage saw all of this and to my mind was the only person prepared to stand up and say it like it is in the EP.
There are various YouTube clips of his EP speaches. They are fascinating to watch looking back now.
A shame really, as I like Germany and the German people, and have been on holiday there several times. Of course, it is not the German people in general, but their politicians.
And the Frogs jump on their bandwagon simply because they're not strong enough to do the same themselves.

His real problem was that UKIP never had a hope of becoming government, they were not big enough, and he had no hope if becoming leader in the Tory or Labour party.
If he cared about Britain coming out of the EU, why did he desert British politics so soon after the referendum?

Re: Nigel Farage
He offered to help anyway he could tories turned him away wouldn't even talk to him. What did anyone think he could do after that ? I think like many of us he trusted TM to do the right thing. He was about done by then with no real job to do helping to get us out. So chose to leave I well remember the relief he exhibited those first few months, he'd given much of his adult life to the one cause and had won the referendum. He was I thought by that point allowed to do things for himself and try to have a life. He was then invited to other countries to help and I again remember him talking about the possibilities and he said it gave him purpose again.The people saying that was bad should have stood in his shoes looking at life from his perspective. He thought it was over he had done it, and others were going to guide us to the finish, he was sad not to be part of it but very tired from the fight.
If he hadn't been treated as he was he might have stayed leader of UKIP and avoided this mess they are in. But hindsight is a wonderful thing.
