Nigel Farage called for free speech and that’s exactly what he got – the 15 best comebacks

If there’s a ‘Y’ in the day, that means Nigel Farage has some hot take or other to share, whether we need it or not. For example, on Wednesday, he posted this.

Public figures should be able to say what they really think without constant demands to apologise. This country used to believe in free speech.

Of course, this was in response to fellow Leave campaigner, Boris Johnson, who had mentioned that Muslim women wearing the full veil look like “letterboxes” and “bank robbers”.

Never let it be said that Twitter isn’t an obliging place, so in response to his rallying cry for free speech, the MEP received just that – in spades.

This country still believes in free speech. It used to believe in decency towards other human beings – things like apologising when you’ve been a cunt – until a few years ago. If this country really is fucked, you’re at least partly responsible.
