Just because we said it was rude doesn’t mean a lot of people might not necessarily disagree with the sentiment.
The UKIP leader was being interviewed by BBC News outside of a pub in Bath today, having been ejected from said pub, The Bell Inn, after the owner objected to him launching UKIP’s European elections campaign on the premises.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, Farage suffered further embarrassment as a passer-by made a pretty crude (and universally recognised) gesture in the background during his BBC News interview, where he was being asked, amongst other things, if he had apologised to Lenny Henry after party member William Henwood attracted controversy recently for saying that the comedian “should emigrate to a black country”.
It’s not the first time Farage has been unwittingly embarrassed in public having been the subject of two completely unintentional pictures (see here and here) in which it appeared as if he was wearing an Adolf Hitler-style moustache, although given some of the right-wing views expressed by Farage and his party members in the past, we wouldn’t be surprised if those pictures weren’t merely a coincidence after all.
