Five-million Farage has flounced out of parliament in order to pause the investigations into his alleged corruption, but other major parties are refusing to contest the resulting by-election, potentially leaving him facing Count Binface as his biggest rival. With the British public’s love of the underdog and refusing to do what’s expected - remember Boaty McBoatface? - I wouldn’t bet against it being Count Binface MP soon.
I just love that the political manoeuvre to counter Farage is to just ignore him until he tires himself out.
Not that this by-election will change anything, when he wins (although it would be hilarious if he didn’t) he will be an MP again, so the investigation will continue. Meanwhile the entire time this is going on, journalists will constantly go and prod him in order to get a reaction.
I’m really not convinced he’s all that bright, because he was in a hole that he dog for himself and now he’s managed to turn that hole into the second grand canyon.
The media won’t stop reporting on this guy every time he so much as farts. Radio 5 is his propaganda machine.
But maybe the tide is turning. In any case, he’s definitely getting tetchy. Hold his feet to the fire, he will melt like the greasy little frog he is.
