Didn't he leave the moment the vote went through? He's come back because it hasn't been 'done'.
He's working for someone, but it ain't us.
It was never us. And yet he still won a stupid percentage at the European elections. Imagine if we had any semblance of class consciousness.
[removed]
He was all set to be a "Fox contributor" and make a load of money off right wing agitating in the US, but came back to start up the Brexit grift again. Either the Americans wanted nothing to do with him, or someone decided his job of destabilising the UK wasn't done.
But I don't think he really wants Brexit, or a job in America. Kicking up a stink about the EU is all he knows how to do, and he clearly still wants to be seen as 'one of the establishment' and validated as being just as good as the Tories. He wants to be an MP, and that's only happening if Brexit crashes and burns.
Well it would follow the age old pattern of being an utterly odious cunt to the point at where you get fired so much or just piss off so many people you can’t walk about the streets then fuck off to America and get a job as a right wing blow hard spouting angry bullshit all day long: Milo, Price, Varney. I just wish they’d kept that leaking anal wart, Piers Morgan.
Right wing in America right now is anti immigration right now and his accent is marker of that. Americans won't take him seriously.
Right wing in America don’t give a damn about immigration. They are concerned about black and brown people. They are happy to welcome white Europeans.
The right would absolutely cling to him. He would be an example of safe legal immigration, and with his ability to spew right wing rhetoric he would be a perfect fit for fox and friends or any other mainstream republican media
Well, right now he IS as good as the Tories.
And I don't mean that as a compliment to either of them.
Nigel in the USA? Nooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Can't be the only one who thinks that Nigel is setting himself up to leave Britain regardless of outcome?
Farage 'applied for German passport' on day after 2016 referendum...
Nigel Farage: two of my children have German passports
There was The Independent which vehemently denied Farage had got those passports... until, you know, he admitted head had done.
"Nothing wrong with that, we'd all do the same if we could." - a Brexiter, in between shitting directly into his own mouth.
As a German I have to warn you that if he comes here throne heirs will be killed, the black hand will be involved and a huge war will follow.
Wasn't it quite well publicised that shortly after the referendum, he applied for a German passport through his wife?
EDIT: Apparently not, although his wife and kids hold full German passports.
And let's be honest, someone with his amount of money can live wherever the fuck they want, anyway. Visa conditions have a habit of getting weaker the fatter ones bank account becomes.
That all sounds fun, but sadly none of it is true.
We could do with a war against Germany, it's been a while and it would lift our spirits.
Didn't that tosser Tommy (yaxley) try to do this and claim asylum in the US under the guise of "it's a better country" and these are the cunts we look to as true patriots.
Yes but he got ignored and sent to jail anyway. The US didn't want him because they've already thrown him out once for being an illegal immigrant.
He's backed by people who are betting on the pound crashing. In the stock market you can invest (bet) that the value of something will go down and profit from it. All the hard-line Brexit people are prepared to move off shore and make millions if not billions out of it. This is a cash grab at the expense of the UK but they act like it's patriotic to get the votes needed
My thoughts too.
The cunt tried to climb in trump's pocket as soon as he got elected. The rat is just waiting for the opportunity

He'll be a pundit on Fox News this time next year. I guarantee it.
when life gives you nigel farage, make a weak shandy
"Nigel Farage is exactly the kind of man who would put on a pair of driving gloves before wanking" - Stewart Lee
Piss in a glass
he'd be like a pig in shit if you gave him a plastic straw to drink it with
he'd be like a pig in shit
Don't get Cameron horny, now.
isabel oakeshott's role in that story and brexit more widely is 'interesting'
"Nigel Farage is exactly the kind of man who would put on a pair of driving gloves before wanking" - Stewart Lee
Nah.
Farage asks for a pint.
The barman offers him a pint.
he refuses as its not the right pint, but declines to specify what is.
The barman offers him another pint.
he refuses as its not the right pint, but declines to specify what is.
The barman offers him a third pint.
he refuses as its not the right pint, but declines to specify what is.
Farage complains no one is giving him the pint he ordered.....
..and threatens to shank the manager if he doesn't get it before the bookies close.
Farage complains no one is giving him the pint he ordered.....
And that the bloody EU won't even let anyone have any pints any more.
Except the pint is thrown in YOUR face while Farage sits across the street in a wine bar, guffawing.
Nah he swings the glass soaking everyone at the bar. Farage ducks.

More likely to be a Milkshake tbh
I’d rather it was battery acid.
But then we'd lose our comedy
Nazi's have become a joke so his melted face could be too
I imagine Brexit allegories make up 5% of Twitter's output at this stage.
And each less funny than the last.
Anything is better than one which got a ridiculous amount of likes and retweets in which Brexit was compared to a 'cheese submarine.'
The perfect storm of tweeness, simplification and dae le random.
I imagine this as a chain of brexiteers with nothing to say
Lad, I'm a Remainer.
Brexit is a total disaster but I'm tired of the 'wacky' jokes on FBPE twitter lol
And Trump memes make another 15%
The obvious flaw in that joke is that he got the first pint..
He didn't get to drink it.
Didn't say he wanted to either
Well he didn't say he wanted to drink it.. Still got a pint though, which is what he asked for.
Perfect Brexit metaphor. The ERG got their brexit but they didn't want to drink it either and now they have nothing.
ERG didn't get their brexit, nor did anyone else, that sort of being the issue at the moment...
Yes because when you ask for a pint down the pub you want it thrown in your face.
That would seem to be an issue with the bar though wouldn't it? The customer was clear about what they wanted, the bar staff seem to have managed to deliver in the most absurd manner possible.
I don’t recall Farage being a vociferous supporter of the May deal. The pint was sitting there on the counter for him to pick up.
Both bartenders had agreed it was the best beer they could jointly bring to Farage.
But let's follow this analogy through. What should happen? The barman should pour him a glass. If for some reason that's not possible, he should ask Farage what he wants again. But ideally the barman should just give him the glass.
So for brexit, ideally they should go for a deal brexit, right? And only if that's absolutely not possible, have another referendum? So parliament's aim should not be to push another referendum, but try to get a deal?
Parliament isn't involved in the negotiations. It's Barclay's responsibility.
But it has to be the right deal, otherwise people could accept a pint of diarrhoea
The discrepancy between actual and reasonable behaviour is the joke, yes.
yeah but the jokes being used to promote a second referendum - i'm saying that the logic really follows that it promotes a deal-brexit
Saw this on my facebook feed some time last week. My first time seeing reddit be slow on something.
I've seen it enough times that it's started to develop that tasty JPEG crust.
It was already posted on reddit a couple of weeks ago.
This tweet is literally just someone copying the original tweet and now it's being posted again here.
It's more like the barman knows it's a bad barrel, and so is dithering other whether to draw the pint. Nigel is getting impatient, and the barman keeps asking him if he's sure he wants it. Nigel says he wants it no matter how bad it tastes. The barman tries to talk him out of it with bad analogies.
excellent
So we getting brigaded by baduk again huh
You can pretty much guarantee that they'll be brigading on threads like that. The mods should really get the admins involved.
The mods here have shown many times that they don't care.
Hell, at one point they added a baduk poster as a moderator here, who then proceeded to literally delete entire threads and ban users for criticising Jacob Rees-Mogg. I'm not joking, this is a thing that happened. The guy isn't even banned, he still posts here, they just quietly took him off the mod list when people threatened to go to the admins.
The UK-based subs all have basically the same people running them, a typical cringy little internet friendship group. They're perfectly happy with baduk brigading all they want, even if it's in blatant violation of Reddit's TOS.
It's not nearly as clever as Andrew Adonis wishes we thought he was.
got my hopes up reading that title, thought i was on worldnews

This "hilarious" analogy has been doing the rounds for at least a month on social media...
A pint is not a decision of a lifetime. Easy to ask for another pint, not easy to ask for another referendum
If Nigel Farage asks for a pint but there's no cameras around to document it, is he still a man of the people?

Also the pint costs £9 and is mixed with chlorine because our currency has died and we gave up all 'red tape' laws on minimum standards for consumables.
Reminds me of the always sunny scene where Charlie dips them in bleach to clean them quickly.
No offence to brits as well but they have some of the shittiest food in the EU. For one they eat more pre-made frozen food than the rest of the EU combined. Secondly they had to request dispance for pretty much all their mixed foodsorts like sausages, yam etc. because of how low the "good" content is.
For example, in Scandinavia they requested dispance because the EU's limits were to low, as in they thought 50% berries in yam was way to low since it's usually 64-90% berries up there. Same with sausages, with even the shittiest sausage having 50% meat with most "normal" sausage up to 90-98% meat.
Meanwhile the UK wanted to go as low as 30% meat. Don't get me started on the yam…
I respect peoples culture, I don't really respect peoples "right" to eat shit food though since it brings sickness and healthcare bills that at least in my country the state helps with so.
TDLR Brits eat a lot of bad and processed food, the EU isn't really mean in their directives but rather trying to make it so buying "Yam" means a standard "yam", not just sub 30% berries or 94% berries. Silliest part is that they're allowed to call it "English Yam" but I guess that's not nationalistic enough
The barman pours another pint and throws it in the face of the person next to Farage who didn't even want any beer.
Barman: Democracy Bitch
Half of the pint is head. “You can’t serve that” says Farage. “Yes I can, it’s my pub”, replies the barman. “No you can’t, we took back control of our own pints” retorts Farage. “Like fuck it matters, since it seems that being a cunt and getting away with it is the British way now” ejaculates the barman at Farage’s face
Barman says it's 52% beer, so you can forget about the rest.
The currency will not die lol
I'm sure the Romans thought the same of their currency.
As you bring it up what's your opinion of chlorine washed salad from the EU?
Nobody should be worried that chicken has a chlorine wash, they should be worried that American farms are raising the chickens so poorly that they need a chlorine wash.
It's not just the chickens, look at America's egg farming standards.
I hope we don't end up importing US food.
https://www.businessinsider.com/why-europeans-dont-refrigerate-eggs-2014-12?r=US&IR=T
I'll only ever eat the vegan option if I go to a restaurant if we do import their food.
u/chowieuk did some good research on salmonella rates a few months ago. After comparing for US / UK population sizes we get...
https://www.reddit.com/r/unitedkingdom/comments/awte6p/chlorine_washing_chicken_doesnt_actually_kill_all
I mean the chlorine wash keeps harmful (potentially lethal) bacteria dormant and near untraceable making chlorinated chicken very dangerous. But the conditions while the chickens are alive are also atrocious I agree
See this is a well reasoned argument I can understand, thanks
Sorry about all the downvotes for your question. It was perfectly reasonable.
If people aren't allowed to question the other side's position. Nobody is ever going to be persuaded of the merits of the opposing point of view.
Yep, it’s nothing to do with the chlorine itself but proponents for it will happily try and make out that it is. We add it to our drinking water too.
Thank you for being so cordial! It's a rarity and I love to see people being respectful and considerate of other opinions.

It doesn't work well. Rates of food poisioning are much higher over there.
Because allowing these chlorine washes enables the farmers to drop their standards in the first place.
Animal welfare for 1. The fact it doesn't work, statisticly, as well as current European standards for 2.
So chlorine washes don’t actually kill all pathogens, for example salmonella and listeria remain completely active and infectious after a chlorine wash. But here’s the kicker, if you swab the chicken after the chlorine wash to see if there’s any live pathogens on it, those bacilli can’t be cultivated in the lab, meaning that your lab tests for food safety don’t reflect reality.
Managing contamination through smaller flock sizes, higher welfare standards and inoculating the animals (what the EU requires) has been proven to work much better, and we as a result have much lower levels of food poisoning (and deaths) than the US.
Because it doesn't work 100 percent of the time. You're almost 10 times more likely to get food poisoning in America
So don’t buy American chickens it’s freedom of choice
Restaurants don't have to tell you where the food is from and America doesn't have to label where their food is from so you buy cheap chicken or eat out and chances are you'll get American chicken.
I don’t particularly care about the welfare of my lettuce
I think it tastes better with SOVEREIGNTY
Pint of sovereign then?
Very well reasoned and articulated point you make there...
Do you do much reasoning and nuanced arguing on alt-right troll sub r/badunitedkingdom ?
The real truth is that chlorinated salad is perfectly fine.
