Anybody who listed to "Any Questions" last night on Radio Four, will have heard Farage frantically deny that he is a politician !

Not just a not very good, failed politician, but not a politician at all !

The studio audience, together with Dimbleby, and the rest of the panel were completely amazed at this statement. Unfortunately, everybody was laughing so much, we couldn't hear what Farage said he was instead !

So.... I throw the question open to everybody here on AB. If he is right, and he isn't a politician, exactly what is he ?

A failed banker, I think that is the correct spelling, I may be wrong though.
Lost in the wilderness.

Sounds like a spoonerism to me baza !

I have found this definition of the nun politician :::

"One who is actively involved or skilled in politics, especially one who holds a political office"

So I can see why Nigel insists he is not the politician...its the word skilled!
As you have the dictionary on the go, mikey...you may as well look up the word 'metaphorical'
You should clean your ears out. He was talking about a professional politician class who are out of touch with the people they are supposed to represent. A Westminster Bubble, if you like.
Although I will concede it was hard to hear what he was trying to say above the boorish bellowing of Dumbleby and the hand picked morons that pass for an audience.
A Mehr cat? (his wife could confirm?)

Ah...thanks agchristie !

A meerkat ? Not sure I can see any likeness there myself, especially as meerkats are rather cute.

But I always think he could play Toad, in Toad of Toad Hall !

Poop Poop !

Rather well actually !

232 MPs against UKIP's 1 ! ( they had another 1 before the election but unfortunately lost it ! )
He can claim to have been 'Briton of the Year 2014', according to The Times anyway!
oh right, so theyre not a leaderless, rudderless out of power, living in the past bunch of losers then...
Question Author
agchristie....not sure that means anything. Guess who The Times made "Briton of the Year" in 2013 ?

George Osborne !
I don't think "failed banker" is quite correct, baza.

Mr Farage never has been a banker (failed or otherwise). He left Dulwich College and went straight to work, turning down the usual route of university. He was a very successful commodities broker working principally on the London Metal Exchange. Initially, he joined the American commodity brokerage firm Drexel Burnham Lambert, transferring to Credit Lyonnais Rouse in 1986.He joined Refco in 1994, and Natexis Metals in 2003.
Question Author
NJ...about the only organisation that Farage can't seem to join is the Houses of Parliament, after 7 attempts to get elected. Perhaps is why he doesn't think he is a real politician !
for somebody thats a failure he sure gets mikey all worked up to the point of obsession...hey mikey tell us about how successful you are ?....
