| Nigel Farage: an anti-politics anti-hero |
| 2014-04-02 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna Watching that "I Love Nigel Farage" documentary on Channel 4 last night, I was struck by the frequent, ironic juxtaposition of "No Smoking" signs and our Jurassic hero. While the entire world has embraced clinical hygiene of both the body (no fags, no booze) and mind (political correctness), Farage carries on as if the 1970s never ended. At one point, he took the interviewer for a lunch that snowballed from a pint of beer to a bottle of wine to two large glasses of port. By the time he'd lit up a Rothmans in his EU parliamentary office, this viewer was in seventh heaven. What actor around today could convince in the lead role of the movie of Farage's life? Alas, Sid James is no longer with us |
