@ChrisMayLA6 I though you might! :)

Why are so many people such bad judges of character?

I had Farage down as a wrong 'un from the first time I heard him.

@wood5y

Its a really good Q.; and that goes back to how the media burnished his reputation for him... he's been given the easiest of rides on his ascent; which for him makes this sudden turn in the media all th more puzzling I imagine

@ChrisMayLA6 A possible explanation is that he went to one of the 'right' schools and was a former city trader.

If he'd gone to the local comprehensive, he wouldn't have got a look-in.

The son of an Irish friend of mine once asked his dad 'When are the English going to stop falling for people with posh accents?'

He has a point.

@wood5y

indeed, he has....of course as a 'class warrior' od deuces standing, when I hear a posh accent, I immediately feel for my wallet to check they've not got their hands on it

@ChrisMayLA6 Very wise.

And count your finger if you have to shake hands...
