I lost all respect for Farage when when he happily jumped into the pockets of extreme far right parties in Poland and Brussels as well as chairing the xenophobic and right-wing Italian Northern League. The founder of this league is Umberto Bossi who once called for all illegal immigrants to be shot. He’s also firm friends with 'The True Finns' who got in trouble for suggesting all foreigners wear identity armbands. He’s not only mates with this lot, he’s been supported and funded by them.

The man has no more interest in the working class or aspiring middle classes than the conservatives but he does understand that by focusing his campaign on immigrant blame and exiting the EU instead of the Westminster elite and corporations that have got richer on tax payers money, he ensured himself plenty of votes, especially from the downtrodden north. It’s a left wing catch with a right wing hook.

Most of us know that the Conservatives are selling the NHS off. Farage stepped in and claimed he would ring fence the NHS from privatization, so why can I find document after document claiming Farage fully supports the selling off of the NHS to private corporate organizations? The TTIP are keen to sell us the American version of medicine and Farage, who once worked for these city firms is a keen supporter. Our NHS is not safe with the Conservatives and it certainly isn’t safe with UKIP.

Whilst I agree that Europe is run by big banks and bureaucrats; how will pulling out of the EU help maintain our peace and stability? With all this present unrest in the world, is now a good time to pull ourselves away from our 27 European neighbours? Can we really afford to become a remote vulnerable island?

The man is an elitist who desperately tries to play down his poshness. To me at least he appears ridiculous; its like watching a badly made pantomime.
