lindal1000 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Ultimately I suppose it depends if he get himself elected as an MP or gets a proper job. His role as an MEP is ending, by his own hand,.. once UKIP elects a new leader then he doesn't have much of a role there.. I suppose Trump might give him a job, but he isn't that well known in the USA? What did you have in mind for him Gluestick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluestick Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Well, Linda; I would not be at all surprised if Farage works for Trump's new administration as a sort of ex-officio adviser.As with so many before him, he has achieved his first political objective - Brexit - and now, as is normal, UKIP are embroiled in the prototypical internecine ego battles of wannabes, desperate to steal Farage's cloak. It was ever thus. remember Robert Killroy Silk? An orange-faced failed Labour MP, with delusions of grandeur, importance and an inflated egotist too boot.Not well known in the USA? Quite the reverse, actually. In media and political circles he has become a name.Did you actually watch the Fox News clip?Interesting how the newscaster, treated Farage with far greater respect than any interviewer on UK media, particularly that precious pompous clown Dimbelby!

lindal1000 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 My comment re him not being well known in the USA was based on an interview on US TV, but obviously not Fox. That would be just brilliant if he could get a job with Trump and go over there..wonderful, perhaps he could take Katie Hopkins with him. Maybe we could get Obama in return.

mint Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I feel embarrassed for him, sucking up to Trump like that and saying he might get a job in the White House.In fact, Trump didn't offer him any job and then he said he'd be happy to "help" Theresa May to build relations with Trump and get trade deals for the UK.There was a chap on Andrew Marr this morning who said that the Tories definitely "do not need Nigel".He's definitely got a very thick hide, NF.

woolybanana Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 With Farage on her side, Theresa May would have her Cassius. She certainly could not have let him stand behind her. Better keep him as far away as possibleHis presencs with Trump, bitching about the UK government is disloyal and dangerous. But do not worry, the Yanks will pick his very little brain, discover he has nothing to say and then spit him out. When he can retire to the public bar and rot.

ebaynut Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I always think it such a shame, that the people who clearly know how the world should be run are too busy either driving cabs, posting on Forums or writing books on the Vendee wars.
