Nigel Farage in His Own Words

I don’t want to be rude but, really, you have the charisma of a damp rag and the appearance of a low-grade bank clerk and the question I want to ask is: ‘Who are you?’ I’d never heard of you. Nobody in Europe has ever heard of you. Much of UKIP’s success over the last few years, including its extraordinary performance at the 2014 local elections, can be laid squarely at the feet of its leader, Nigel Farage, a man whose apparent fearlessness and off-message willingness to speak his mind, while horrifying many, has offered a tonic to those who are sick to death of the usual round of sound bite politicians. Like him or loathe him, Farage has reinvigorated political debate in Britain in recent years with a dazzling array of politically incorrect, tell-it-like-it-is bon mots and public utterances, most of which are collected here in this entertaining volume.
