I can't begin to understand how Nigel Farage is not part of the Establishment. Brilliantly skewered here by a writer in the Independent:
*So they know a little bit about what it’s like to be on the wrong side of the establishment down there. How hard they’ll choose to a listen to a middle aged Englishman telling them how he and his army, “Said no to the banks and no to the politicians,” when he’s only had two jobs in his life, first a banker and then a politician, we’ll find out on November 8th. That’s the day, by the way, as if there were still a nanometre of mercury left to spare at the top of the bullshit-o-meter, that Mr Trump last night declared would be ‘Independence Day, just like Britain had its Independence Day on June 23rd.’
They’d clapped like mad for “the man who led Brexit,” as Donald Trump rightly labelled Nigel Farage as he called him to the stage. “This is a great honour for me,” he told the crowd. He meant it......
Talk like you’re taking on the powerful, then round on the vulnerable. And all this laid on by a little public schoolboy who used to march round the countryside singing Hitler Youth Songs and a daddy-made billionaire, backed with the full force of Rupert Murdoch’s TV channel, flying round the world in a private jet with his name down the side, telling his followers to “stand up to the media.”*
