I'm sure Putin is happy with the chaos but it's a stretch to say Farage is with him!
ZEIT ONLINE: Have you ever received external money for your political work?
Farage: No, of course not.
ZEIT ONLINE: You never received any money for your appearances on Russia Today?
Farage: Which I do twice a year. Or three times last year. I am doing global media. I am talking to you as well.
ZEIT ONLINE: Why did you meet with Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London?
Farage: Oh, for journalistic reasons.
ZEIT ONLINE: What? Because you want to write a story about the WikiLeaks founder?
Farage: For journalistic reasons. I will not say anything more about that. But I did it for journalistic reasons, not for political reasons.
[...]
ZEIT ONLINE: You once said you admire Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Farage: In 2013, as a political operator, he was the best in the world. Yes, this is what I said. But I wouldn’t like to live in his country. I didn’t like a lot of things he did. But as a political operator, he is to be admired.
ZEIT ONLINE: One of Russia's foreign policy goals is dividing and weakening the EU. Could it be that in the case of Brexit, you were directly or indirectly used for this Russian goal?
Farage: It is obvious that the EU wants to expand to the east and threatens Russia. That’s completely mad.
[...]
Farage: We have no links to Russia.
ZEIT ONLINE: You didn't meet with the Russian Embassy's deputy chief-of-mission in London?
Farage: Nope.
ZEIT ONLINE: Not in 2013, before the Brexit campaign was conceived?
Farage: Ah, hang on. He came to the EP office. Or I met with him in London. So what?
ZEIT ONLINE: Why did you meet with him?
Farage: I think you are a nutcase! You are really a nutcase! Brexit is the best thing to happen: for Russia, for America, for Germany and for democracy. And that's the key point.

@divegeester saidYou do realise that the crumbling cliffs are on the South coast of England... and that it’s
Yes the metaphorical EU. Well put.
not Europe that’s gonna crumble after brexit?
Are you really so wrapped up in political stupidity that you can’t see the writing on the wall?
From housing to health care, from worker’s rights to living standards, from quality of food to general quality of education, from infrastructure to happiness... England is the cesspit of Europe.
It’s got nothing to do with Europe. It’s got everything to do with domestic policy and mismanagement.
The best the UK can hope for after, whatever brexit, are trade deals which will sell out the NHS, worker’s rights and paid vacation. The small group of very wealthy tories will get wealthier and the rest are gonna rot.
So, whilst you stand beside Farage (who financially won’t get hit) on the cliffs of Dover, waving your Union Jack, bulldog growling beside you as you sing Rule Britannia, the remnants of any safety net for the general population are going to be sold off and you’re going to fall.
You are standing by and allowing this, Divegeester. You will be held equally responsible.
You’re still welcome for dinner and wine though.

They know Farage and Trump are in league with Putin, they just don’t care.
@kazetnagorra saidOh right...I believe you then 🙄
That's the thing - it's all out there in the open, there isn't even an attempt at a secret conspiracy.

@shavixmir saidHaha it’s your rambling ranting post that has me snoozing.
