Should it not be Al Murray as the pub landlord as Farage?

For all the anti-Farage stuff (and I agree, he is odious), he's doing a bloody fantastic job for the UK. I don't see politicians from any other country at that table.

In what way? Reading the various side stories to this, he blagged a seat?

I don't see any UK politician at the table, either.

I see a one-trick pony self-publicist who has absolutely no relevance in current politics.

I don't like him but he does seems to have more access to The Don than any other world leader. The UK should somehow try to use that.

He's not to be trusted to do anything other than feather his own nest. There's no way our government would trust him with any responsibility.

You actually think that he's there to do the job for the UK? That is adorable!

Exactly. Curiously enough, I've only just found out that an old and very much respected friend of mine has known Farage for years , like an aquaintance of mine he speaks very highly of him as a person.

The left will hate him of course, but thats what they are expert at, hating those who do not share their fascist opinions.

I dare say he has as much access as, say, a waiter, or a caddy, or a toilet attendant. But access is nothing without status, and I dare say Farage has as much status as, erm, I'll get back to you on that one...

Unfortunately I think you are wrong. he spoke at The Don's rally's, recent conference, met him days after his win and is now pictured dining with him.

The UK Government would be foolish to ignore him (but also need to be careful and use him or trust him carefully)
