  1. And people want him to be P.M?

    He doesn’t even care about this country

  2. Question for anyone that might be savvy about such matters – what would Nigel Farage have to gain from the £ decreasing in value?

  3. He was smiling at the fact it was predicting a Leave victory not the fact the pound was going down in itself.

  4. the man shorted the pound no doubt.

    massive scam

  5. He literally campaigned for it, and sold at the cost of the public purse, amazing, vote him in guys, he’s totally not gonna screw you harder this time

  6. I mean he’s probably grinning as his campaign won? That’s like saying Joe Biden was grinning when winning the presidency in 2020 as people were dying of covid. He’s a tit but this is peak internet bullshit

  7. English are gonna vote him in and continue to ruin our lives, I really sincerely wish England would fuck off out of the UK and stop ruining our lives

  8. Should be critically illegal what him and Johnson did. Misleading people politically should be a life sentence.

  9. I think he is the one that gave donald the idea to devalue the US currency. They’re profiting from this.

  11. There is a very compelling conspiracy theory relating to his non legitimate access to polling data that night, his false semi defeat admission and the absolute fortune some people made on betting the correct way afterwards

  12. This has been debunked several times, the photo was taken during brexit vote night, but at a point where it looked like remain was going to win. He wasn’t happy because pound was falling, he was happy because he thought he was proving a point, but he was wrong.

    But reddit is no place for logic or facts so let’s just grab the pitchforks and believe every bit of text on a photo we see.

  13. You’d be smiling too if you had a massive short of the pound.

  15. The money he got paid for by Putin was astronomical apparently

  16. I imagine he’s probably laughing at financial markets betting against him. I don’t think anyone priced in a possible brexit.

  17. If only this sort of thing still mattered. I feel that, rather like Trump, Farage could ritually disembowel and eat a child on live TV and people would still trudge after him. I’m hoping I’m wrong on that, but lately I don’t think so.

  19. Crispin Odey made 220m from Brexit and shorting the £.

    Odey is a big financial backer of Pro Brexit Political groups before the Referendum. No doubt bank rolled some MPs to push for Brexit.

    Odey helped Jacob Rees Mogg start his Capital Investment company before he was an MP. JRM went on to be a big name in the Brexit campaign.

    Odey employed Kwasi Kwarteng before his political career. No doubt helped him rise to Chancellor and create the Tax cutting for the Rich Budget in 22′ that nearly bankrupted the UK.

    These people fucked us for their own gain. It was nothing to do with “EU = Badddd” it was powerful men playing games for their own benefit.

  21. Wasn’t he completely shit faced that night and went through a range of emotions from abject defeat at the start to a dark swelling of happiness as he realised the lie had stuck?

  23. What a c&nt. And people are stupid enough to want to still vote for him 🤯
