Farage

I didn't travel today, as I was working from home but one thing to note is that epic tales of stupidity will find me.

Thanks to Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP for giving everyone such a laugh at his monumental stupidity.

Picture the scene: you're in charge of a small marginal party and thanks to the idiocy of the three established political parties, you do rather well in local elections in the South of England, receiving priceless publicity for you & your party in the national media, gratis. You bask in this glory, knowing all along you are capable and deserving of such adulation - it's only a surprise to you how long it took to happen.

Next decision you make after winning the vote in the south of England, is to visit Scotland as you can fucking walk on water. Go up there, show those Jocks your magnificence and you are assured of more votes. No problem and you'll even take the famous coat as it is rumoured to be cold up there but by fuck it's a vote winner.

All goes reasonably well until a group of students find you, surround you and shout nasty things about you.
So you go into the pub, who kicks you out. The police are now outside the pub and lock you in there for your own safety. You come out again to be walked away between two police officers keeping you safe from the hairy, smelly, tax avoiders that you will sort when you are in power and all their rantings.

Get in a police van, which is shaken, more insults thrown at you and then you're driven off to get the hell out of Edinburgh.

What to do next? Play it down? Turn it to your advantage? Give interviews and stay calm, maintaining that you believe this is not the voice of Scotland and you have relevance to the good people of Scotland who want to listen?

Not a damn bit of it.

Immediately, nationalists are racist, fascist scum and Scots are written off to every journalist and broadcaster who will listen. You accept an invitation to a Scottish radio interview and happy to put your case, portraying yourself as the victim but when pushed, again the racism card is played. When pushed further about your knowledge of Scotland and it's politics, as well as what you have to offer in such a fascist, rascist country, you slam the phone down.

Then claim it was a biased interview where you were portrayed unfairly.

I don't condone the students' actions but I firmly support their right to demonstrate - it's a basic fundament of democracy but I do question the motives of a small man who tars a nation as rascist and fascist when he has no toehold politically in the country and more importantly, clearly has no clue what Scottish politics are about.
Nigel Farage - take a bow for being a monumental shagwit and giving us all a laugh at your stupidity.

They walk among us..........and sometimes lead political parties.
