Farage may have a place in the extreme right wing press, such as the DM if they wish to pay him for contributions.
It is his rightful and well suited place.
In my view it is now time to reduce his contributions to Question Time type TV formats and serious political discussion.
The reason being that too much of what he has stated in the past has been shown to be demonstrably untrue.
One cannot give large platform platform to such, and there are plenty of cases where such a principle is carried out.
Add to that the fiddling of expenses and I think there are excellent grounds for reducing his exposure.
He's a backer of dead horses;
£10,000 on Trump to win, publicized by his own good self. Sadly probably not his own money!
He has become a sower of division and othering. Little else.
The Anti Lockdown Party!!
Please let us have a serious discussion about this, not just this unpleasant individual jumping on a new and transient bandwagon opportunity.
His true shifting colours nailed up clear for all to see.
I think Farage is viewed by the vast majority as laughing stock now.
And quite rightly so.
Ta ta. Nigel.
