Nigel Farage MEP
It's easy enough to say that one disagrees with, or even despises, Nick Griffin and what he represents. But, to give him his due, he's at least fairly straightforward about what he thinks. You know where you stand with him, even if where you stand is preferably on the other side of the street.

My real ire is saved for the sour-faced xenophobes of UKIP and, in particular, their figurehead: the slimy, dissembling, mendacious, populist, monomaniac, impervious-to-reality, meretricious, untrustworthy, over-chummy, scientifically illiterate, politically permadazed, pompous, contemptuous, did-I-mention-mendacious?, supercilious ratbag that is Nigel Farage.

There are lots of people who pop up on Radio 4 whom I would rather didn't. But he is one of a very select group to whom I cannot listen without getting dangerously angry. I hate everything he says. Were he to tell me that today was a Thursday, I'd ask for a second opinion from someone else just to make sure.

It's not just that I disagree with his politics - though, god knows, I do. It's the way that, notionally in the name of defending a country that he inexplicably loves from threats that he has imagined, he lies and lies and lies about the institution that supposedly generates those threats. And yet he seems to have utter contempt for the Parliament whose primacy he wants to reassert - witness his willingness to break with convention to announce that he'll be standing for election against the sitting speaker.

There is no hell deep enough for this man.

I'd carry on, but I think I'm going to have to go for a walk right now.

Superb, sir!
It's a shame him and his 'party' fell out with Kilroy-Silk, I think the two cunts deserve each other...

People on radio 4 that shouldn't be there.
I would have to say the entire cast of The Now Show, and Jeremy Fucking Hardy.

DON'T KNOCK HARDY!
And Brigstocke and Holmes are quite good. But I agree about Punt, Dennis and Mitch sodding Benn.

Brigstocke
is the only reason worth listening to the Now Show (sorry, the Nooooooowwwwww SHHHOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!). Benn does occasionally have a funny song, to give him his due.

Anyway, yes, Nigel Farage, you said it all. Luckily no one on the planet takes him half as seriously as he takes himself. And UKIP are just the BNP with Jaguars.
