Lord Heseltine is right, Farage has turned Enoch Powell’s old poison into a modern brand.
He exploited farming, wrapped himself in tweed, and sold working people the same lie: that foreigners were to blame for a crisis made in Westminster.

There'll be a time in life where the weave won't finish properly at the bottom and then we can talk. But right now it's pure genius. Hey, I have an uncle, my uncle, Uncle John, my father's brother, 41 years at MIT, longest serving professor has so many degrees, he didn't know what the hell to do with them all in the most complicated. I understand a lot of this stuff, you know, I believe in that. Like, I mean, Jack Nicklaus is not gonna produce a bad golfer. Right. You know, that's the way it works.
