"Everyone worked out Farage long ago. They know he’s a posh boy playing at being a bit of political rough. That he’s a fraud through and through. A member of the establishment who uses that protection to kick against it. But ... his supporters don’t care. It’s enough for them that the main parties have fucked things up and they want to give them a kicking. Nige likes to claim he’s not a protest vote. But if not that, what is he? He’s just a conduit for people’s rage."
