Traitor. Shouldn't he be staying here to fix the mess he caused?

And he's not wearing a poppy on TV. >:(


You don't actually have any points against Farage, do you? You just dislike him.

He has an incredibly punchable face

He's a racism promoting, vacuous, anti-intellectual, socially regressive windbag who wants to take Britain back to the 1930s. That enough for you?

Fuck sake, Nigel, just take up knitting or something. Stop trying to retire from politics by taking up politics somewhere else.

Biscuit means biscuit!

"Cookie Means Biscuit" might make for a better slogan. Unless Mr. Monster decides to Anglicise his name and run as Biccie Monster.

But that doesn't go with the slogan at all. I think we need to have a slogan committee finalise things.

Nigel Farage seems desperate for work these days, we could probably get him to do it on the cheap.

So, the EU is inexplicably proposing unilaterally giving us pretty much the best deal possible and then some. Jayne Adye, to the surprise of nobody who's ever heard of her, has decided that this is somehow discrimination. A particularly hilarious quote:

It is totally unacceptable for certain citizens in the UK to subject themselves to laws which are created by politicians who are not accountable the British people as a whole.


Yeah, no. People can subject themselves to whatever the hell laws they like (not that there actually are any EU laws that would actually directly effect most individuals living in the UK). In particular, many millions of people happily subject themselves to various religious laws, and I've signed legally binding documents subjecting myself to laws made by an international body a few dozen times this year.
