Of course, Farage is the one who claimed Brexit would secure our borders. Evidently not! And it's not because it wasn't a 'real' Brexit. Johnson went for the hardest possible Brexit short of creating absolute mayhem. Farage is just a purveyor of quack solutions to serious problems.

The ONLY part of immigration that could be addressed by leaving the EU was net EU migration - mission accomplished. The Tories wanted a fairer immigration system so relaxed RoW visa requirements. This was coming in Brexit or not.

Farage has discovered that playing the bogeyman keeps him in the spotlight and the cash rolls in.

Note how he engages with his performative theatre mainly during parliamentary recesses (though he is rarely seen in the House of Commons even when it's sitting).

Farage shares the same far right nationalist ideology as them.

To be conned once by a charlatan is a mistake: to be conned twice is unforgivable.
