Ah, banter, the so-called defence of the antisemite, the racist, the misogynist. Closely followed by “Can’t you take a joke?” #Farage should be shunned and removed from any political platforms in the UK. This is not who we are.

NATHAN GILL, JAILED FOR WORKING FOR PUTIN, WAS ONE OF FARAGE’S BREXIT LIEUTENANTS!
JOIN UP THE DOTS, FFS!!
And what of Farage? The man who had cosy chats with the Russian ambassador and yet said he’d never met him. The man who said Putin’s the leader he admires most?

Whether Farage is racist “depends on how you define it” apparently.
Oxford dictionary definition: “the belief one's own race is superior to others, which leads to prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism against people of a different race/ethnicity”
Racist then.

Compare and contrast.
Absentee MP -v- his constituency.
Greedy grifting spiv -v- most deprived English neighbourhood.
He really couldn’t give a shit.
He feeds off the inequality and anger to line his own pockets. He doesn’t want solutions because the problems are his income stream.
