I sort of agree - but am equally puzzled by how it all works. Really, really poor racists think that a privately educated ex-banker with Aaron Banks' millions (possibly some overseas funding too) is sticking up for them, whereas the likes of Rayner or Starmer (who started with nothing/very little and worked their way up) are against them.
Farage's confidence, even when he's owned by facts, is really annoying.
