UKIP leader Nigel Farage packs them in at Suffolk meeting

There can't be many senior politicians who are able to pack a hall on a freezing, snowy night and then, when the meeting's over, roll into the local pub and hold fort at the bar for the next hour and a half.

Step forward, Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independence Party.

It was standing room only at the Brandon Community Hall in Suffolk. More than 300 people crammed into the room. Another 20 or 30 people stood in the corridor straining to listen and the police were called to direct the traffic.

"I thought UKIP was only for eccentrics, fruitcakes and gadflies, so I'm glad so many of you are members of the club," joked Mr Farage, referring to a comment by Prime Minister David Cameron, while pushing his way to the front.

Hopefully this snowball may be about ready to crush the Tory wing of the British government party.

We haven’t heard much from Daniel Hannon lately. I liked him.

Wouldn’t the UK be better off with a King Nigel and give him the authority that Henry VIII had?

“We need someone like him in the USA”

Well if we are going to continue to let ineligible candidates run for President why not Nigel?

It has been imagined that when Elizabeth II passes away, and Charlie drowns in a vat of Malmsey, when William is declared King, he and Harry take an extended holiday in Canada, after declaring Nigel Farage “Lord Protector” of England and Wales.

After first dissolving Parliament, Lord Farage then forms a cabinet of combat officers and proceeds to give England and Wales a Spring cleaning.
