This is NOTHING but PERSONAL CONJECTURE T.S., dressed up as factual statement.
No one KNOWS just what Farage's motives are, but Nigel Farage himself, and what is 'Real Political Clout'? How do we define it?
Is it a long ensconced Prime Minister such as David Cameron, who has ALL the mighty powers of the Establishment, the Corporations, The Civil Service, and 99% of the Media supporting him, in addition to a Bottomless Bucket of Public Money which he can appropriate - seemingly unchallenged - to help fund propaganda literature whenever he sees fit, BUT yet, still CANNOT secure his political objectives?
Is it the 'Leader' of Her Majesty's Opposition Party, Jeremy Corbyn, who leads the LARGEST by far, political party in the UK, and who enjoys support only marginally secondary to Cameron's party, but who is as politically impotent a politician as there has ever been in British Politics?
Or could it be Nigel Farage - who IN SPITE of enjoying NONE of the huge advantages enjoyed by the above, and DESPITE having the full force of the BBC and Channel 4, virtually EVERY British newspaper, and the huge ESTABLISHMENT and CORPORATE propaganda machines VICIOUSLY, UNFAIRLY, and SADISTICALLY ranged against him, single-handedly and from NOWHERE, built Ukip up into the third largest party in the UK, REVERSED decades of voter apathy, RESTORED some measure of DEMOCRACY BACK INTO THE HANDS of the ordinary British People, and SUCCEEDED in his overriding political ambition – to see the UK vote to leave the corrupt European Union.
From being a schoolboy, Farage has spent a LIFETIME in politics. He was a member of the Conservative Party until quitting in protest in 1992 at the corrupt John Major's now thoroughly discredited signing of The Maastricht Treaty - an early sign then of Farage's insight and true integrity, and formed Ukip the year after.
When ANY man retires after a lifetime of hard work (and Farage is one of the hardest working politicians this country has ever seen) has he no rights to do what he likes with his life?
Some retired men take up Golf, painting, travelling the world, gardening etc, but how many men who do so would refuse an offer of a job with the President of The United States of America?
And having for so long elected to serve his country in politics instead of serving himself, at much cost to his income, has Farage no rights, to think about a lucrative position which is above board and legal?
Compare Farage with any one of HUNDREDS and HUNDREDS of other serving and ex-serving British Politicians of ALL Parties - Prime Ministers among them - who have CORRUPTLY LINED their own pockets by LOBBYING for huge Multi National Corporations AGAINST the interests of the same British People who elected them, only to then take very lucrative jobs with those same corporations once leaving (or being FORCED to leave) politics.
NO ONE KNOWS just what Farage's new post entails, therefore no one can state with anything but pure SPECULATION, that the duties of such a post will not afford Farage the opportunity to continue to pursue the two political loves of his life - exposing the corrupt EU, and strengthening the UK's position in the world.
I would delight in any Tibb member rationally, logically, reasonably and amicably and FACTUALLY discussing just WHY they HATE Farage so much. WHAT has he ACTUALLY done to deserve such hatred and contempt?
I'm HERE to discuss.
In the meantime; I will predict; that just as history has proved how corrupt men like HEATH, BLAIR, MAJOR and others REALLY were, then it will ONE DAY exonerate the much wrongfully maligned Nigel Farage.
