Nigel's pension is sorted. Around €70K/year from being an MEP, future MP pension, plus all his other grifts. A criminal shyster.

Yeah the founders put a pretty significant amount of effort into insulating the body politic from the whims of voters.
Or as an MEP recently said, "we can't let the security of Europe rest on the whims of sheep farmers in Wisconsin."

It's muddled "balance" idea which is a major contributor. The fact that Farage, a minor MEP, was give as much airtime as the Chair of the CBI/Gov Bank/economists in the runup to Brexit. Uneven coverage of Gaza, declining in Int News coverage, endless focus on individuals, 2 GBNews execs on Board.

No wonder he got away with it whilst two others were convicted of defrauding the EU.

Great thread, George. I was very struck by this speech at the time, which sums up the fragility of a relatively benign status quo, so easily taken for granted.
