I had to laugh this week seeing Nigel Farage parading around in his check jacket and shirt, like a retired rural surveyor or an oleaginous version of Withnail’s Uncle Monty. What a man of the people he is!
I find it incredible that Nige’ is touted as just a normal bloke when in reality he’s a wealthy, privately educated financier with about as much in common with the working class Labour voter as lard is to a low fat diet. And if I see one more photo of his gurning mug clutching a pint of best, I’m going to pin it to a dartboard.
I find it sad that in 2014 a male politician should still feel that the best way to be seen as a man of the people is to be photographed in a pub clutching a pint. It’s like Pulp never happened.
