Nigel Farage, the populist who led the campaign to bring Britain out of the EU, has told Swedish nationalists he will return to British politics next year “with a pitchfork” if he feels Brexit is betrayed.

“If Brexit doesn't mean Brexit, I'll be back in 2019 — and probably with a pitchfork,” the former UKIP leader said in a barnstorming speech at the European Freedom Awards, a gala event for European nationalists held in Stockholm.

Farage said that he would renew his fight if Friday’s court ruling that the British Parliament must vote on Article 50, the first step in the UK leaving the EU, was used to delay. […]

Expressen cited recent polls which showed that only 30 percent of Swedes would vote to leave the EU if a referendum were held today, making the “Swexit”, many UK papers have predicted would follow closely on the heels of Brexit, look a long way off. …

That is just an oligarchy disguised as a democracy over there but the people out number the oligarchy and that means lots of blood will flow. They will not overrule the people. They will try but that is not going to stand.

Contrast two politicians: Farage with Clinton.

Clinton scratched, clawed, and insinuated herself to the top of her party to climb the greasy pole of politics

Farage, based only on an idea, started a new political party from scratch. Farage has never actually held a seat in his own country’s political system.

Clinton has always been around ultimate power, and has grabbed at it for years, unsuccessfully.

Farage has never been close to ultimate power, yet somehow, through his ideas, has been among the most influential politicians in the UK and even Europe in the last 10-15 years.

Clinton, the ultimate slimy politician, has to group-test every comment and every position

Farage simply speaks his mind.

Farage came here to campaign with Trump. Trump won’t forget.

If hillary wins, he’ll need a Geiger counter, not a pitchfork.
