A confused Nigel Farage has kicked up a fuss because a UK military base isn’t letting in any old Tom, Dick, or Harry (with a big emphasis on ‘Dick’) wander about as they please:
Oh poppet, it’s a military base. Why did you think you could visit? It’s not a destination for your holibobs. https://t.co/J4hvYmQiM6

Farage: grandad’s confused again
Do we think the UK should have military bases on the other side of the world?
No, of course not.
We’re not ‘Britain First’ types, but we do think our focus should be on improving our own isles and not worsening other people’s.
That said, here’s what a confused Farage said in the video above:
The British government are applying pressure on the president and the government of the Maldives to do everything within their power to stop me getting on that boat and going to the Chagos Islands.
Now if I was an ISIS fighter crossing the Channel to Dover, they wouldn’t give a damn. No, they put me in a hotel, they give me three meals a day. But here I am, a Member of Parliament, leader of a political party that’s topping the polls. The British government, the High Commissioner here, they’re doing everything they can. They’ve got search parties out trying to find me and they do not want me to leave this place. Quite why?
‘Do you know who I think I am?’ the man cries.
So this is how security clearance would work under Farage – bigshots like him would get to go wherever they like. We’re not sure you can run your military bases like that, but hey – it will be funny to see it in practice.
Farage also said:
If we do give away the Chagos Islands, already the Indians have cut a very substantial economic deal with Mauritius. We know that China is deep in Mauritius. There’s even a smart city there. Huawei do the communications. There will be a geopolitical battle for this part of the world, which has been settled ever since the end of World War II.
Again, we’re not ‘Britain First’, but why do we need to be thinking about this?
This is literally Asia’s business; we have our own problems to worry about.
When we cover global conflicts like Israel’s genocide, the reason we’re doing so is because our government is contributing to the misery, and we don’t want to see our taxes spent like that.
Farage should tell us what he’s going to do for the people of Clacton before he fucks off – yet again – on some globe trotting stunt.
People had some ideas about what Farage is up to anyway:
Let me get this straight: Farage traveled, likely sponsored by another dodgy oligarch, to Maldives claiming he could, from there, go to Chagos which is a restricted territory, therefore having to spend time in Maldives instead? Oh, what a shame. pic.twitter.com/iTDzeU5q0d

So disappointed that I haven’t been allowed to pretend I give a shit about Chagos islanders while scoring political points and stirring up morons who long for the days of Empire. pic.twitter.com/MyuUfh3xC9

Globe trotting
Would it really kill Farage to spend a week in Clacton – i.e. his parliamentary constituency?
His inability to be among the people who voted for him is becoming hard to ignore at this point.

Farage is a foreign asset used to swindle people who never got a proper education and who are easily lied to.
Anyone who genuinely thinks he gives even the slightest fuck about the UK (and not how much he cares about raking in the millions as part of the elite class) has got their head so far up their own arse they must be able to see their molars from underneath their uvula.
