That'll be a seven course gravy meal for poor Farago then, with perhaps a bottle of vintage 2016 gravy to go with it, and maybe a cigar with a gravy snifter before bed.

Love that bit about not being a professional politician, only 24 years as an MEP with the 4th worst voting record out of 751.

Poor little diddums, maybe he should try living on the average person's income or better still on benefits then he would know how the majority live, obviously another one of the fat cats with no idea of the real world.
No wonder so many of us have little time for the vast majority of career politicians.

Nigel Farage: An Apology
On Saturday, in a post, I suggested Nigel Farage would receive a £73,000-a year pension in 2019 when Britain leaves the EU. I now understand this is not the case. He will, in fact, receive two EU pensions totalling £132,000 a year.
I would like to apologise to Nigel for any suggestion that he is anything other than a raging hypocrite.

It is only right in this season of goodwill to put the needy first.

Trying to work out Nigel's logic, the only reason he would get a gong or more was his work in successfully getting a Referendum yet he claims that is why he hasn't got one.

Personally I'd like to have seen him in the House of Lords. Like it or not he has changed the face of politics in the UK.

Why anyone would want that shameless, spineless and often legless hypocrite in the House of Lords is beyond me. Bu then again......

'Lord Pearson of Rannoch, Ukip’s former leader, had previously attempted to get Mr Farage a peerage in the wake of last year’s EU referendum.
The plans were however dropped when it was realised that Mr Farage would have to resign as an MEP to be allowed to sit in the House of Lords.'
That EU pension's sure inhibiting Farrago's social advancement. But he should at least get a medal for his humility, preferably with a short ribbon so it doesn't catch on a tree while he's out riding his hobbyhorse.

A wistful Nigel watching the Queen's speech hoping she changes her mind about his knighthood.

Field Marshall Bolton in his Christmas address refers to UKIP getting a referendum on EU membership when in fact it was Nigel Farage that got it. UKIP was a vehicle but no leader of the party before or since has galvanised wide swathes of the public to support the idea like Farage.
