"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

A plot to embarrass him.

Deep within his own people.

In fact he was the main suspect.

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 this 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 for 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?

No, no, no. Farage is Count Buttface. Not Binface.
