    “Farage did not appear at the count for a victory lap, and claimed that Essex police had advised him that a plot was under way to embarrass him when the result was declared. The Guardian understands that the force did not advise Farage not to attend. Lee Anderson said he had not spoken with Farage about his claim, with conflicting accounts emerging.”

    Classic right wing bullshit

      Oh yeah that sounds likely, a plot to embarrass him, all you have to do to embarrass him is point the cameras at him. He’s constantly claiming he’s under attack and yet he can never point to any evidence.

      He’s claimed that somebody tried to fire bomb his house, yet there is no police record of it, he claimed that someone attacked his car to the point that it had to be written off, except again no police or insurance records. It’s almost like these things didn’t happen.

      Somehow, i feel like a guy in a trashcan can costume running for election isn’t worried about a “plot under way to embarrass him”. But Then again, thats insensitive to trash can people so what do i know?
