Nigel Farage not a patriot, Ed Davey says as Lib Dem conference begins

1. I don’t think anyone still believes that Farage is in it for England or ever has been.

   It’s all about ‘As long as you hurt foreigners a lot, it’s worth it even if it hurts us too’.

2. The only person who ever said Farage is a patriot is Farage himself, and even he crossed his fingers and attempted to look innocent when he said it.

3. Not sure this is a criticism or a benefit, Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious.

4. At least with the Greens ya know they wouldn’t sell out to the Tories just for a taste of power.

5. Of course Farage is not a patriot. He’s a egotist, a xenophobe and wouldn’t look amiss playing Toad of Toad Hall.

6. Has he actually done anything for Clacton or bothered interacting with his constituents to find out their concerns?

7. I don’t think any of the political party leaders are patriots and truly care about the country

8. This dude is basically the shit that Trump left unflushed

9. He’s no patriot and he couldn’t give a dying duck about Britain – all he wants is to con people out of their money.

   If he were a true patriot who felt affection for the country he would never have promised to leave the UK if Brexit were a disaster. But sadly, he was lying, and although we can hope the grifter leaves, he only leaves it every month to get over to US , get money and advice from his Republican MAGA friends.

10. I don’t care about Farage, at your own conference I want to know how *you* are a patriot, Ed.

11. There’s plenty of assessment and summary of Farage but no one has a plan to defeat him. Labour were our great hope but are a complete shambles.
