It did seem a reaction to the lady who asked him about why he wasn't standing on Question Time and the goading he got from Piers Morgan. (
from 14:47 here).
But it might be more strategic - if he wins he will be on the Opposition benches and is perhaps dreaming of orchestrating a merger with the Conservative Party and becoming its next leader.

Why not change the name of the Party to 'Nigel' too. Hopefully the more decent people of Clacton will tactically vote against him. Always worked before.

According to this site, Labour is tipped to win Clacton. It will be interesting to see if there's sufficient protest votes out there to elect Farage.
