Politics football nigel farage
Nigel Farage celebrating during the England match might have seemed a little more patriotic without the Denmark goal in the background
In ‘Look at me, I’m the man of the people’ news, a clip shared by Nigel Farage seemed to suggest a spontaneous round of Rule Britannia had broken out in celebration of England’s Euros performance.
As if that, in itself, wasn’t a funny enough concept for anyone who watched the match, the action on the TV in the background trampled all over the faux patriotism.
Here’s what he wrote about the video.
And here’s the clip.

There was one glaring problem with his post, and it wasn’t just this –
When the cameras aren’t on you I doubt you’d go near ordinary working people with a twenty foot-long shitty stick. You’re a complete phoney. https://t.co/WZiCd2fftt

English men celebrate a far right politician while their country fails at football in the TV in the background. Expect this to be in the next Adam Curtis doc https://t.co/B0m5YlQonA

Denmark scoring live on the big screen and these clowns don’t even notice. Right at the end, a woman shouts “Oh no!” https://t.co/6c5ascKoUb

We don’t want to hear from anyone other than Derek Guy on this one.
I’m no expert, but I think wearing the grey “because it goes with jeans” shirt might be worse than no shirt at all. Happy to be contradicted. https://t.co/ZmzOnSXTxH
