Farage is spot on. He smells the coffee; he understands 9/11 and who did that; he understands how cultures without similarity don’t mix and when numbers reach a critical mass, problems arise.

Sorry to put it this way, but, are you thick? Or just trying to trap me (again).

On the naive assumption that you are thick, and pardon the aggression to counter your passive aggression, British culture is all about the society (and its span) that has been built up over the centuries. It includes the effects of literature, democracy, sense of humour, sense of history and tolerance (up to a tipping point that we’re now passing).

I wonder what you’d say, assuming now that you’re not thick if the question was posed to you?

Smell the coffee.
