Has he got shares in a brewery or something? the only reason he'd kick off s royally is if it was going to hurt him in the pocket.

It's hurt him in the beer belly; perhaps he likes to booze and exchange casually racist jokes over lunch.

Farage is not a racist - he's a realist.

I love how all the wealth of irrefutable evidence that Corbyn is not fit to be in British politics is still refuted by some, yet those same people decree Farage a 'racist' or 'xenophobe' without any substantion.

In a few years, if the Government bans ALL driving for anyone who is not TOTALLY alcohol-free - thereby ensuring that even social drinking is exclusive to those wealthy enough to be able to afford taxis or chaffeur driven limousines - will we have a hue and cry from the same people who are now ridiculing Farage?

They can't make it zero alcohol as the human body always contains some traces .... but, I don't just include alcohol in this, its all things that can debilitate or distract the driver. One moment is all it takes. Its not about wealth or anything like that, its about people taking responsibility for being in control of a machine that can cause death to innocents.

If I am going out and want to have any drink, I usually go with 2 or 4 others, it doesn't then need to cost the earth to share taxis and fares.
Public transport too is available.

I have seen normally quiet people who with just 4 drinks have a kind of personality change and get more forceful and even argumentative.
I would not expect anyone to get in a car with me driving, if I had any drink,I wouldn't however ever drink and drive at all.

Also after witnessing accidents where the driver had been drinking and not always a great deal, I for sure would not get in a car with anyone else driving if I knew they'd had any alcohol.
No way.

Surely Nigel gets driven around most of the time anyway.
