Nigel Farage went to Dulwich College which when he attended was more expensive than Eton

He earns £1.5m a year, 92% of which comes from dodgy donations

His girlfriend pays £885,000 in cash to buy houses but she's a waitress.

He's not a 'working man' he's very rich and corrupt

Seems like Peter Thiel, the blood-drinking global surveillance overlord, or the hateful wannabe dictator he helped install as president fits the bill better than Thiel's idea of an antichrist: someone who helps people. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)
