He was born in a mansion, not in a Garage;
And now his old wife put his things in the Garage.
Makes brexi-beats for brexigirls and brexiboys
And now UKIP, they don't have one seat.

I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

Then the same thing happening with the US ambassador post
Pretty sure the stuff about him receiving a peerage or the US ambassador post were pushes by his PR team rather than anything that was seriously considered. I mean the argument for him becoming ambassador was "I'm mates with Trump, gis a job. Go on, gis it".

I am finding it fun labelling him "the failed politician turned radio presenter" lately though because it hits the right buttons with his supporters (because the truth hurts).

Nigel Farage is the most influential and consequential Briton of a generation.

A damning indictment of your people if ever there was one, but it's the truth.

He deserves a peerage and it ought to be called Baron Farage of Brexit.

Yeah but he caused brexit, the biggest deal in Britain since god only knows what.

Ideally you'd want the most influential and consequential person of a generation to have been a good influence and to have had good consequences but it is not to be.

He really started something with UKIP. It was a bad thing, but my did he start something.

Is there anyone who has done more to shape the destiny of Britain?

he didn't cause brexit but his efforts during the campaign were perfunctory at best, when you compare him then to his performance during the election it's obvious his heart wasn't in it

things i remember about the remain campaign

- some people, i think they were posh?, sailed some boats up the thames because some brexity fishermen did it first
- osbourne said hoo boy we'll need a scary budget
- corbyn said he was 7/10 on the eu and a lot of nulabs got very angry with him about it
- 2 women held up a sign that said 'i have stars in my eyes' and the guardian ran it a lot

thats it there may have been more but thats all i remember

Incredibly specific amounts of money were thrown about as the amount YOUR FAMILY would lose if we brexited (based on lower GDP, which pay had not kept pace with for a decade, creating some degree of skepticism)

I figured Corbyn's attitude towards Brexit is 'We might as well make the most of it'.

And probably just as well given how they turbofucked Greece basically for no reason.

Corbyn's attitude towards Brexit is "the people voted for it, so we gotta follow through".

For some reason the logic behind this is entirely lost on the same Brit liberals who are super baffled over how they could possibly have lost the referendum.
