Farage is of course a hypocritical fraud.
But the shocking failure of UK media to relentlessly point this out has allowed him to prosper.

It makes me sick, all the BS from Farage, when the muppets don't know that he "resides" in Belgium, NOT Clacton, and his kids have German passports. So much for his national "pride".......
