@Nigel_Farage has taken to protesting that he really, really, really needs the £5 million his mate Christopher Harborne gave him out of the goodness of his heart. "I've been the most attacked - physically - politician of modern times," said the doleful Mr. Farage.
What, more than the
politicians who were murdered? In case you've forgotten, Nige, that would be
David Amess (2021), Jo Cox (2016), Ian Gow (1990), Anthony Berry (1984), Robert
Bradford (1981), Airey Neave (1979). May they rest in peace.
The delightful Mr. Farage, well known for his commitment to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, says the only way he can protect himself for the rest of his life is with the £5 million 'gift'. I'm confused. Didn't he get the money two years ago, before he decided to stand as a candidate in the GE? Was he the most attacked - physically - politician of modern times even back then? And Nige, didn't you decide to stand shortly after you got the money, having declared definitively up until then that you wouldn't?
Even Trump might have a problem with Nige's protestations, given that there have been 3 assassination attempts on his life and he thinks he's the most hardly done by person on the planet. Anyway, just doing the math, if Farage’s security detail costs him say £1,000 a day, he will have spent about £750,000, and the rest will be in his bank account, right? Then he's got about 11 or 12 years' worth of security.
Which can't be the 'rest of his life' can it? Hmm. It's all very puzzling. Nige.
