Not for the first or last time...how the absolute fuck has that prick Farage got as much traction as he has?

It almost seems like there's a conspiracy working for him. But I think everything we see can be explained by the fact that he's a uniquely high-profile proponent of Brexit and a host of other neo-lib and far right policies, so the right wing press are 101% behind him. As for Coutts/NatWest being incompetent, that was just a stroke of luck.

He's not a real politician so even the weak standards (much weaker, since Johnson) that apply to them are irrelevant to Farage. It would take a bang-to-rights criminal scandal to take him down.

Tories are terrified of him. At the next GE their likely support base could jump to Reform if Farage came back to front line politics. Hence this bookers overreaction to a person losing a private bank account for not being economically viable as a customer.

I see that Richard Tice is upset that Brexit means that the UK is no longer part of the EU.

Funny. But it goes to show that Brexit was never actually the issue. Otherwise Farage and Tice would have retired happily in 2016, their job done. But Brexit, like the Euro, was never the point. It was just something to complain about which had a nice anti-other ring to it. Now they have immigrants and net-zero to complain about. If immigration stopped completely they'd complain about the Muslims and non-whites already living here (and obviously about everything that stopped working because there were no immigrants to do it). There's always some scapegoat for the fascists to complain about so they can whip up the ignorant vote.
