Fantastic news for amateur and professional fundraisers today with the notice that the crowdfunder set up to give Nigel Farage his dream come true, a dream holiday during a second EU ref, has raised £350m in its first week.
“I need to clarify a couple of points right from the top,” our Prats Go Away correspondent says, “technically its the NF can FO’s crowdfunder’s first week, but it’s only been live for an hour. Also, it’s not really a second EU referendum, but a third, as the first was held in the 1970’s. The second, the advisory one riddled with dark money, criminality, foreign interference and bullshit promises was the second one.”
That’s all very well and good, here at LCD Views we are dedicated to checking our facts, but aren’t we missing the point of the overwhelming level of support for Nigel Farage following his latest interview on Sky?
“Yes, support for Nigel Farage to leave the country appears to be at an all time high,” our correspondent agrees, “perhaps the largest public mandate of all time.”
So where is he likely to be sent with all that money?
“There’s a lot of preferred destinations from people donating, although Nigel himself would presumably prefer Moscow. Or any country that doesn’t have an extradition treaty with the USA.”
What’s top of the list?
“Hell. But no travel agency or web based sales agent appears to know how to get there. Fair to say though, given how many near death experiences Mr Farage has somehow survived, he is certainly expected down below.”
Okay, so it’s on Earth. Where?
“The Bermuda Triangle appears to be top of the list. He can go by plane. Preferably a 1940’s design.”
Maybe he can go by bus?
“He could. We can all gather and launch him on his way at Beachy Head.”
Bon voyage Nigel! You don’t want to be in town when the walls of Brexit come tumbling down and the public enquiries begin.
