Without Farage there wouldn’t have been Ukip’s electoral success, there wouldn’t have been a referendum and there wouldn’t have been a victory either. Sorry it upsets you. Happily millions of people understand the truth.

Quite why you are so angry about such obvious simple truths I don’t know. I’m not even personally a big fan of Nigel. I admire his tenacity but in terms of style and temperament he is different from me. But I have to give the man his due. He was, by a country mile, the most important man of the last three decades in terms of winning us our freedom.
