Farage will be attending the Republican National Convention, where he will tell delegates that Brexit holds lessons for America.

UKIP European Member of Parliament (MEP) and former party leader Nigel Farage will be heading to Cleveland, Ohio, next week to attend the Republican National Committee Convention. USA Today reported that Mr. Farage said the UK’s vote to leave the European Union (EU) holds lessons for America.

Anyone know when Farage's speech is scheduled?

I couldn't stay on the Buggy Brietbart site long enough to read article. Just grabbed the URL and title and short blurb and got out as fast as I could.

I hope he is given a fine welcome. Nigel is a great and courageous man, a wonderful speaker, and has been fighting his fight relentlessly for 20 years against vicious, vicious opposition.

Who wouldn’t like to hear hear Nigel give the Nigel treatment to Harry Reid and McConnell! That would be simply glorious.

Hmmm. A lesson such as ‘unexit’? Works for me.

Great choice—a true hero. I guess Chris Matthews will not be pleased.

I have mixed feelings on this.

We criticized Obama when he publicly said he wanted the Brits to stay in the EU. He was accused of interfering in another country’s politics.

Why is this any different?

Well for one thing, Farage isn’t prime minister of the UK.
We’ll have to wait to hear his speech before we decide if he is interfering. Both Farage and Daniel Hannan have spoken to various groups before about the problems in their country and the EU.

But it's the wrong convention for Farage to address. He'd be so much more appropriately addressing the Democrats with the same unforgettable words he used on the EU parliament:
"Now, I know, I know that virtually none of you have ever done a proper job in your lives or worked, or worked in business or worked in trade or, indeed, ever created a job."

Cool! Hope he doesn’t plagiarize Kinnock or Corbyn!

Because Farage likes Americans and conservatism. Obama loathes Great Britain and is not overly fond of nasty, colonizing Europe.

I don’t see him listed on the agenda on the RNC website. Maybe he’s speaking to a smaller group away from the hall?

I have watched dozens of Farage’s speeches and he has some Chrchilian blood in him. If he were an American I’d be an advocate for him being in Trump’s Cabinet. On the other side, it’d be wonderful if he were British Ambassador to the US. :-)

Excellent! Perhaps he can mention that in terms of Trump’s antagonists; targeting the community organizer/rabble-rouser-in-chief, Hussein Obama.

I echo Albion Wilde’s comment in post #10.

FWIW, AdBlocker reports it is blocking 36 ads and other garbage for me on the Brietbart page.

Ghostery reports it is blocking 12 trackers: AddThis, Disquis, FacebookConnect, FacebookSocialGraph, GigyaSocialize, GoogleAdServices, GoogleAnalytics, Newsmax, Quantcast, RocketFuel, Taboola, Tynt and ZergNet.

AdBlocker and Ghostery. Two musts for sane web surfing.

Seriously? Is he threatening the US like Obama did the UK? No similarity whatsoever. Geez.
