I agree. Farage is taking the Boris Johnson route - he’ll turn up on programmes like HIGNFY and take the ribbing and prodding with good grace, and I think it’ll win him more votes than he loses. It’s superficially pleasing for those who already know he’s an unpleasant specimen, but they don’t need convincing - to anyone who’s undecided or uninformed he comes across as a game sort, possibly a bit of a rogue but at least upfront about it, willing to laugh at himself, etc. etc. I think that’s dangerous stuff, because even if you think Farage is a bit of a Bertie Wooster character, you have to remember that if he gets into number 10 there won’t be a Jeeves on hand.
