Sir,
We have recently heard rumours that Nigel Farage might be given a peerage. Does this mean that, at last, the government is going to recognise the years of tireless work he has done for the nation, and the achievement of his bringing about a referendum on the EU? Fat Chance! The only reason they are contemplating putting him in the Lords is to make sure that he cannot get into the Commons. The Thanet South election result is under police investigation and, if they find that a crime has been committed and the result is suspect, there may have to be a re-run of the election in that constituency. There may also be an early general election next year if the Supreme Court decide to uphold the High Court decision that Parliament must be involved in any Article 50 notice, and Parliament tries to delay, distort, or destroy our bid for liberation.
In either case, the Thanet South election will be under intense scrutiny, and the establishment will find it extremely hard to rig the result this time, as they are speculated to have done in 2015. After the referendum result, it would be the establishment’s worst nightmare to have Nigel Farage in the House of Commons, asking awkward questions. They will do anything to avoid this, and I suspect that the idea of sending Nigel to the Lords would be a desperate attempt to keep him out of the Commons. I believe that Nigel is far too shrewd to be taken in by such a blatant confidence trick, and has far too much integrity to be bribed by such a stunt.
Respectfully, Phillip Smith. Ukip Daily.
