'racists dismissed as bad apples, vague promises made of improved vetting procedures, accusations of serious financial impropriety are brushed aside by a smirking #Farage and the party’s fundamental and universal defence is “a big boy did it and ran away”' #r4today www.cityam.com/its-too-late...

Oh dear - white, male, privately educated, gold bullion selling, 5 homes owning, multi-millionaire MP feted by BBC, for years promoted by billionaire press, feels excluded and victimised. Can anyone close to Farage give him contact details of a good counseller ... meme via Greg Stuart
