He'd get double if it were up to me, for his services to the UK.

That will put the man who (thank god) got the UK out of the EU cesspit, on 2 grand less than workers at Southern Rail, who are set to hit a staggering four day £68,000 basic - and up to £75k pay with overtime.

If you imagine that even if the EU ceases to exist in ten years that any politician will be left without a pension then you haven't thought much about politics.

Nothing but a bottomless pit of cash for anybody willing to play their part in the charade in whatever capacity.

Trebles all round.

Don't be embarrassed, gromit. You've got Mikey on your side. Perhaps Eddie will show up tomorrow.

In addition to his pension he should be given a knighthood and a peerage.

Farage has had his nose buried deep into the EU pig trough for many years.


EU pig trough ... is that an addmision.
!

[Jackdaw33]

It is with delicious irony that I note that the man who did so much to rattle the EU's cage will now be funded by them for the rest of his life. And some say there is no God!

[emmie]

good luck to him, he deserves it. unlike some we can mention, like Kinnock..

[Jackdaw33]

...not to mention Mandelson.

Nigel says, why should he and his family suffer because of Brexit , which he helped to cause , never mind any other familys suffering because of Brexit , but what do you expect from an ex member of the Conservative party ,me, me ,me, a typical Con MAN.

[Jackdaw33]

I would be very interested to read or hear of anyone, family or otherwise, who is suffering because of Brexit.

// Without Mr Farage there would have been no UKIP//

In what sense? He didn't found the party.

[waterboatman]

We don't owe them a penny!

[emmie]

no we don't ^^

[youngmafbog]

Been living under a rock for the last few years Krom?

I have absolutely no problem with Our Nige getting this, it is a paltry sum for what he has done for the Country and yes, he should get a knighthood too. But the corrupt Establishment wont allow that will they?

[Kromovaracun]

The original founders of UKIP are no fan of Farage (and in fact Alan Sked's policy was always that UKIP members who successfully became MEPs would donate their salaries to the NHS or to charity).

[lindapalmara]

//nd this ex-Labour leader should know what he’s talking about because back in the 80s he wanted to abolish the House of Lords on the grounds it was packed with the descendants of brigands, muggers, bribery and gangsters//

Kinnock and all his family receive millions and have done for years. That's the reason they never speak against the EU, anyone who does could lose their pensions.

[gulliver1]

J/D you are correct no family is suffering because of Brexit and job loss yet, because Brexit has not happened yet. Wait for it ,

[anthro-nerd]

I wish we remained... I know it's a bit late to say that... and if you can't beat them join them, so I need to get on board with the 'leavers', but still...
