Can't we find somewhere further away and colder...?
The Falklands? That could actually be quite amusing from all angles.Can't we find somewhere further away and colder...?
He might have an awkward time down at Deanos Bar in Stanley explaining why those nice new Benny hats everyone was looking forward to won't be happening after all.

All this wailing and gnashing of teeth is great fun to watch.
Nigel is now one of the most recognisable politicians around the globe.
He has stuck by his principles for more than 20 years.
He is a beacon of intefrity is a sea of corruption, deceit and dishonesty.
Of course he should be given a knighthood.
We need to get an e-petition going.
I was stunned that the official Vote Leave wanted nothing to do with him. Imagine what the outcome would have been if they had......Nigel is now one of the most recognisable politicians around the globe.

Why does he have to be so bloody offensive? The brexit negotiations need to be carried out with conciliatory good grace on both sides and I think we all know that this will not be the case. I've often enjoyed Farage, has had some brilliant moments in the chamber when he's been saying the right things in the right way, but I can't help but think that far too often this one man has set the stage for the EU to treat us in a fairly spiteful manner for the brexit negotiations.
^^^^ This.There is no need to be a bad winner, no need at all. He's achieved his aim, got what he wanted, now its time to be a growd up.

I've finally watched the full speech, I do respect him for his courage. To stand up for what you believe against the grain like he does, takes balls.
I thought a fair few of the comments that he made were decent, but I also believe that the speech would have been far better without the digs and snide comments. Saying "I know you people here have never had real jobs" really negates the following point.
Too much emotion in his speech, he wants to throw the referendum results back into the faces of the EU, which isn't going to help our country at all.
Winning with class is quite easy, he didn't do it very well.

I hope this analogy works:I thought a fair few of the comments that he made were decent, but I also believe that the speech would have been far better without the digs and snide comments. Saying "I know you people here have never had real jobs" really negates the following point.

It would be like spending years traveling singlehanded around the world via the North and South poles only to find a pilot jumps on board at Canary Wharf, takes the tiller and sails the boat under Tower Bridge to Westminster while you are tied up in the galley..........can't blame Farage for being a bit emotional myself.

I know that Dan Hannan offered to do joint speeches with Farage, but I think that only one such event took place.
Hannan, Farage and Johnson would have been a killer combination, and I think that they would have secured a larger, less divisive victory.

Win the battle but lose the war. Does anyone think we'll even leave? Nobody with any power seems to actually want it. I expect some kind of deal or remain party will get elected and that will be the last time the Great British public gets a referendum on Europe. Then we can settle down and become a federal Europe once and for all.

Embarrassment lol Im more embarrassed over the constant sour grapes remain threads and pathetic media doom, tbh it's like a bunch of kids that didn't get the same sweets as the other kids 
Yep, restart the 'cringeworthy' thread for the children who can't come to terms with the fact they lost. Oh yes, go Nigel - more gumption than almost all other UK politicians put together.
