It could be worse - they could have named him 'Lame'.

George Osborne obviously wondered that too :-).

I wonder how long he will last.

A lot of UKIP supporters liked and admired of Nigel Farage, I expect they will now defect to the Brexit party.

One's brain has to be impaired to like and admire that ghastly man, imo. :o

It seems to be part of most people's human nature to admire and make icons out of people. I couldn't see myself doing it but when I was young I did idolise some public figures and would have been terribly disappointed to find out negative things about them. My 'idols' were on the left or involved in the Peace Movement or maybe somebody working for the Iona community about which Anchorman has started a thread.

It doesn't last, all people have feet of clay and we really know that.

I am glad to say I have never had any idols, not even in my youth.

The leaders certainly don't last long in UKIP.

The sooner that nasty party disappears into the mists of time the better.
Effectively they are just a side show now. The question is what other parties do to attract their voters.

Hopefully, they'll continue the run of risible names by replacing him with Hugh Jarse or R. Sole.
