Pretty desperate levels of whataboutary

Farage ain't a fascist, but possibly a crypto fascist. But like all these populists his aspiration is authoritarianism and financial enrichment of himself and his cronies.
He just surrounds himself and endorses fascists which is absolutely fine for some.

It is impossible to know what is really in Farage's mind and heart; he may or may not be a fascist and if he is, he is far too clever to reveal the fact.

What we can be sure of is that like Trump he attracts fascist support and does not entirely condemn it. So it proliferates. In effect he legitimates fascism and crypto fascism.

More of a diet fascist.

He'll dispute that he is a fascist (although he was once) whilst encouraging the thick knecked crew cutted simpletons who are, to vote for him
He certainly has admiration for fascists and the feeling is mutual.

If that level of unpopularity is sustained for another 5 years, maybe our politicians might actually get behind the idea of rejoining.
The problem the politicians have is that a very high proportion of that 30% that think Brexit was a good idea are older voters that turnout as a high percentage in elections.

It is very hard to convince someone who voted leave in 2016 that they made an error. No one likes to admit they were duped and they're far more likely to cling to the belief that it's just the wrong type of Brexit that's been implemented. This is why I remain convinced that the rejoining of the EU will be down to natural turnover of the electorate. Approximately 6 million potential voters have turned 18 in the last 9.5 years, and a similar number will have died at the other end of the scale - of which a high proportion wil have been Brexit voters. I reckon we need another 4-5 years to make rejoin an electorally viable policy, unfortunately.

I'm sure Nigel, Tommy and their acolytes will be falling over themselves to condemn the perpetrators of this

Brexiteers are dying off and the young have little appetite for isolation. Looking at the graph, its like there was regret almost from day 1

Little surprise Farage doesn't want to discuss it

Just seen this on Bluesky...

I agree with James O’Brien here, as Brexit gets more unpopular then forcing Farage to own it will be an increasingly powerful attack line

Sadly some Remainers are also dying off, and want to see us rejoin before the others pop their clogs.
