      That must be something in the water because every time the news interviews any of them they’re all as thick as bricks.

      “He’s a man of the people”, no he’s not, he’s a multi-millionaire.

      “He speaks truth to power”, again no he does not, he’s literally never done that because that would involve doing his job which he’s never done. He didn’t do it when he was in MEP why would he do it as an MP?

      There’s even some fat old guy saying he was a WASP which is an old '90s White supremacists phraseology. So not only is he out of date he’s also a racist great combo.

        Farage is not an Anglo-Saxon surname, and he has non-English ancestors besides the alleged Huguenot. As for whether he’s Catholic or Protestant, it’s unlikely he attends any religious ceremony any more than he attends the European Parliament or the House of Commons. That would require effort.
