“Just maybe I’m reaching the point of thinking that we should have a second referendum on EU membership.”

Bored of endorsing far right politicians?
Worried you're not on TV so much or that you'll lose your pension?
Worried history will remember you as the charlatan who drove his country off Catastrofuck Mountain?

Farage is like a washed-up star offered the lifeline of a sequel and desperately trying to play it cool. “Look, I’ve always said if the script is right, I’d be interested. But it has to be something special.” https://t.co/bWFfKh1qiT

While Nigel Farage is trending let me just boringly remind people that he campaigned for Roy Moore in Alabama and went on a rally in Berlin with the far-right AFD.
