Nigel Farage shared a letter sent by a ’10 y/o leaver’ but it’s fair to say not everyone believed it
Politicians’ new favourite thing appears to be sharing letters they’ve been sent by people telling them how great they are.
After Sajid Javid shared a letter from his 10 y/o daughter comes this effort from Nigel Farage.

Just in case that’s tricky to read …
Dear Nigel
I’m a ten year old boy and I’m writing to express my gratitude to you and your party.
Without you the Leave Voters would have nobody to represent their opinions as the majority of MPs in Parliament want to ignore democracy and overturn the referendum result.
At my school they try and brainwash us to be pro-EU but me and my friend Jim (fellow leaver) know their tricks.
Many thanks and good luck
From Matthew
And it’s fair to say not everyone bought into it. Here are our 8 favourite responses.

Dear Nigel
I’m certainly not a 54 year old man, which you can tell from my ocassional quirky spelling mostake. Nevertheless I understand that you capitalise the P in party when referring to a specific party.
Anyway, love the racism keep it up good sport.
Yours ̶n̶i̶g̶e̶l̶ Mat

My dearest Nigel Farage,
I am writing to thank you for all the racisms you do, which I think are really good because I’m also quite a massive racist and so is my friend Cedric.
Please keep on being horrible and having brown teeth.
Yours sincerely,
Reginald (8 and a bit)

The only way a 10 year old wrote this is if you held them at gunpoint and told him what to write, word for word

Hi Nigel. My six year old son Garibaldi would like to write letters to politicians too, but he is too busy translating The Upanishads into English and finalising his PhD thesis at Cambridge.

Maybe this was the most important clue.
A cursive f? From a 10 year old? If that letter's genuine my name is Dick Van Dodo https://t.co/mrGBY8swxu
