According to some reports, Nigel Farage walked away from a cara accident saying - "oh leave the kid, there is nothing wrong with him! it's lucky it wasnt a tractor, or it would have been an early br - - exit for that one!"
Cruel Sir Nige went onto the television studios with his cheeky smile and smooth one liners .....

Why do you say Sir Nige is cruel ? Of course there is another thread re the accident where Mr Farage,as a passenger,sufferd no injuries. As well you know. So why offer that carp in a different thread?
Unlike the poster who was quoting the Metro I catually watched the show.
This from the Metro "The Brexit Party leader also appeared to forget he had advocated a second referendum on membership of the EU" totally misrepresents (lies about is a better term) Farage's position.
What Farage said was "I don't believe in a second referendum, but I'm reconciled to the fact that it may be forced on us".
Philosophical stream of consciousness: the end justifies the means; if you will the end then you must also will the means; that's "taqiyya" in forrin ancient modern; can't make an omelette without breaking eggs which may include honourable people like Roger Scruton denigrated by former British serviceman, but intellectual lightweight Johnny Mercer, and decent libertarians like Carl Benjamin lied about by moral retards.
Sorry, but re a second referendum, Farage contradicts himself: in 2017 or whenever he said: “maybe, just maybe, we SHOULD have a second referendum on EU membership”’(because people will be whining and whinging)
He was not talking about a referendum being “forced” on him etc as he claims in the interview. So Andrew Marr’s question: “Why is it a betrayal if you yourself advocated it” is a perfectly obvious and fair one.
I didn’t see winners and losers in that piece: I saw Farage being asked about Brexit in the first half, then getting increasingly flustered when put on the spot about other issues and eventually complaining that the whole interview’s a disgrace and blaming the BBC. Not quite “Nigel Mopface” (those floor stains are still there) but he can’t expect to be given a free ride on his pet topic if he wants to be treated like other politicians.
I agree that none of this matters: as someone possibly OG pointed out above, he can say what he likes and people will still vote for his party. As many as flock to him tho so others run a mile: unfortunately for all of us they do so in different directions.
I'd say slicing & splicing 4 different sentences to give 1 conveying the opposite meaning is amoral.
Wouldn't have had you down, kromo, as one of those thick as pig-*** people who believe everything they see in the MSM.
It's sad that you think your ideology is so important that you row in with an obvious smear campaign.
It seems to be an axiom of modern so-called 'investigative journalism' that it is essential to dig deeply into the past of the interviewee and find some contradictory statement in the belief that this nullifies his/her current views.
How many people on here would care to justify everything they have ever said on every subject over the last several years? Not I.
As John Maynard Keynes once said, "When the circumstances change, I change my mind, what do you do sir?"
Farage advocated a second referendum when he was worried that Leave might narrowly lose.
17th May 2016
// The question of a second referendum was raised by Mr Farage in an interview with the Mirror in which he said: "In a 52-48 referendum this would be unfinished business by a long way.
There could be unstoppable demand for a re-run of the EU referendum if Remain wins by a narrow margin on 23 June, UKIP leader Nigel Farage has said. //
Oh, he's said stupid things that he should have known could come back to bite him on the bottom, alright.
I suspect we all would if we had a microphone shoved under our noses 18 hrs a day.
But it's all the unbiased BBC want to talk about with their 'enemies'.
