Why would 'fitting into the 'Establishment' be a detriment to being a good or even great politician?
Or do you mean to imply that Farage is an hypocrite for having such a background but 'drinking beer' and affecting the 'common touch'? (No pun intended).
But isn't this a common trait (no pun intended) in ALL politicians come election time? Oh - I apologise - I didn't mean Labour politicians too Josh, I wouldn't want to upset Labour supporters:
Naw, arr nevva meant multi-millionaire Ed Milliband in his £2.5 million parnd house, with his £5 million parnd fortune Guv, Lord knows ar nevva. Any bloke knows that old Ed had a commun educashen like wot we 'ad. Ar mean - it's 'im his self wot tells us all how common he is. And 'blow me dahn my old china, ar nevva ment Ed's shadder cabinet eever, lawd knows Ar didn't', 'cos every geezer knows them there shadder cabinet members aint porsh or laa-di-da eever. They're all just salt er the earf Cockneys like us, ain't they?
WELCOME TO CHAV & NOT DAVE'S MOCKNEY SING ALONG
The annual pre-Election Knees Up and Sing Along featuring Chav & Not Dave and all the lovable middle-class, privately educated mockney's in their Shadow Cabinet. You're guaranteed a good time as all these wealthy economists and barristers belt out all the old favourites from 'The Red Flag' and 'The Internationale' to 'Solidarity Forever' and modern hits such as 'Where Have All The British Gone' (Long Time Passing) and 'Grandma, What was a Church and a Union JacK? (Why Won't Our Ayatollah Let Us Have Them Back?)
On The Piano: CHAV himself Old Ed Milliband.
Working Class geezer Chav was educated at Haverstock Comprehensive - which was an elitist school, "attended by many scions of the north London liberal elite" - and Corpus Christi College Oxford. He was "born into 'Labour aristocracy' being the son of a 'Marxist historian' and has lived in the swanky SW1 area of London all his life .
On The other piano: 'NOT DAVE' - better known as Harriet Harman.
Deputy Leader and Shadow Secretary of State for International Development, you'll love this mockney gal as she tinkles with the ivories instead of the truth. Old Harriet was educated St Paul's private school, and York University, and her father was a Harley Street surgeon, and her uncle the Earl of Longford.
A genuine Mockney lass if NEVER there was one.
On The Drums: RED ED BALLS himself.
Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ed was educated at Nottingham High PRIVATE SCHOOL, Oxford University, and Harvard, in the USA. Old Red Ed's daddy is a Zoology Professor, and we wouldn't expect 'noffink else' as an occupation for this true socialist non-Establishment mockney geezer.
On The Banjo: CHUKA UMUNNA MP better known in pop circles as 'Chuka Kahn't'
Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, this 'darn to earf geezer' was PRIVATELY educated at St. Dunstan's College in Catford and the University of Manchester and University of Burgundy in Dijon in France.
Come Along One And All To The 'HACKNEYED EMPIRE' where you can do the LAMBETH WALK, THE KNEES UP MOTHER BROWN and SING-ALONGA with CHAV & NOT DAVE your FAVOURITE MOCKNEY GEEZERS .
