Print media reports of the stupid/outrageous/incendiary things Farage says presumably sell copy - so we end up with a vicious cycle, just like with Trump in the US. How I wish everyone would just ignore the pair of them

The Conservative relationship with Farage is like the migrant who has left home to encounter the real world. Lene Lovich put it well:

Home is where the heart is

Home is so remote

Home is just emotion

Sticking in my throat

Home is hard to swallow

Home is like a rock

Home is good clean living

Home is... I forgot

Let's go to your place

All that media training and yet listening to the awful NF for just a minute will tell KS or RS that all you need to say to rebut a point when you only have 45 seconds is “I’ll tell you one thing ….for nothing … (listener perks up, a free lunch on offer) ..everything you just said is (take your pick from any number of barely acceptable insults) and your 45 seconds will have passed.

Reading your comment, I am for the first time (I must be slow) struck by the coincidence that this loathsome man shares initials with a loathsome organisation. Coincidence?
