Nigel Farage was fooled into thinking this artwork was the real thing. Except he’s the one who’s lost the plot

Nigel Farage doesn’t give the impression of being a man in touch with his vulnerable side, so when he noticed that an American university had installed a cry closet for stressed out students, he wasn’t impressed.

And here are the two pictures he tweeted.

The sign on the cupboard says:

A Safe Space for Stressed Out Students Otherwise Known as The Cry Closet

This space is meant to provide a space for students studying for finals to take a short 10-minute break.

Rules of the Closet

1. Knock before entering

2. Only one person in the closet at a time

3. Limit your time in the closet for no more than 10 minutes

4. Turn lights and timer off before leaving

5. Use #cryclosetuofu if posting on social media

Except, a bit like Brexit, Farage failed to read the small print.

“Artist: Nemo Miller in collaboration with Tony Miller and David Meyer”

The replies to the tweet were split between people expressing outrage at the snowflake generation and political correctness gone mad and rather a lot more pointing out that it was an art installation.

The tweet is still there, in spite of so many people pointing out the misunderstanding. It’s almost as though facts don’t matter to him.
