Typical Nigel! Farage’s Response to Being Pelted With Cement Is Rather British

Former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has responded to being pelted with cement at a rally in Yorkshire in the most British way possible.

Farage’s Open-Top Bus Disaster

Nigel Farage’s reaction to having objects thrown at him on an open-top bus during his election campaign couldn’t get more British.

Former Brexit Party Leader Targeted

While hoping to win over the British public, the controversial former Brexit Party leader was pelted with various objects, and now he has responded.

Construction Debris Thrown at Farage

While he was parading around South Yorkshire in an open-top bus, Farage found himself being targeted by missiles made out of construction debris.

Video Goes Viral

The video, showing the culprit throwing the missiles and later being arrested by South Yorkshire police, was posted on social media, causing Farage to respond.

Crowds Cheer on Farage

Despite one man’s decision to throw objects at Farage, the video showed a crowd who were much more pleased to see him, chanting “Nigel” as he rode past.

Blaming the Left

Farage’s response condemned the attack, blaming the left and accusing them of being violent, although he made one promise to his supporters.

“Violent Left-Wing Mob”

Farage insisted the attack was made by a “violent left-wing mob who hate our country” before making his promise.

Attack Won’t Stop Campaign

Despite the attack, which he believes was made using a combination of cement and used coffee cups, Farage insisted he would not let it stop him.

Farage’s Pledge to Supporters

After thanking the South Yorkshire Police for their efforts, Farage pledged to his followers “These people want to stop my election campaign. That’s never going to happen.”

Farage’s British Response

After the situation had died down, Farage spoke at a rally in Great Yarmouth explaining his thoughts after the attack, and doing so in the most British way.

Farage Will “Not Surrender”

Farage, who just days before the attack was also targeted with a milkshake over his head, claimed that he would “not surrender to the mob.”

Tactical Change Needed

The former UKIP leader admitted that the attacks proved one thing: that he needed to change his election tactics to win over the public.

Farage’s Admission 

According to Farage, “All I can say is that whilst it’s concerning and whilst of course it does make me thoughtful and I may need to change tactics.”

Farage’s Shocking Election U-Turn

The attacks came just weeks after Farage made a shocking double announcement. Farage revealed he would be running in the election, but that wasn’t all.

Farage Takes the Reigns

Farage also announced that he would succeed Reform UK’s Richard Tice as leader of Britain’s rising right-wing Party, and the results are already showing.

The Farage Effect

In the latest YouGov poll, Reform UK received a major boost from Farage’s appointment as leader.

Prime Minister’s Concerns

Thanks to Farage, Reform UK is now sitting just two percentage points behind the Tories, a statistic that will have the Prime Minister concerned.

Conservatives Drop in Form

The Conservatives lost two percentage points in the poll, dropping from 21% to 19%, with Reform UK creeping up behind.

Tories in Danger

This shows that the Conservatives, previously Britain’s most consistently popular Party are now in danger of slipping down to third behind Reform UK.

Riling up the Right-Wing

Farage’s pledge not to surrender to the left will rile up Britain’s right-wing voters as Reform UK looks to use this to divide the nation further.
