 Since leaving politics, Nigel Farage has taken to reading out messages on camera in return for sums of cash. It's nice work if you can get it. However, it has led to some real screamers for the ex-UKIP leader. This was Farage being interviewed on Irish TV earlier this week. Why don't you ask yourselves in Dublin a question? Why did you fight the British? Why did Irish nationalists fight the British for 500 years? 500 often very bloody, difficult years until the 1920s. What was the point of it, if you're now governed by the European Commission? I think people will be entertained, Nigel, to hear you talking about this. That may be too inconvenient for all of you in Dublin. Oh, I'm sure. Yes, of course. I know that you apologise for the birthday greeting which you delivered in the last couple of days, but I want people to see just how much you know about the history and culture on this island. Now, it's a bit early in the day, so all I've got actually is coffee, but I hope you enjoy a few pints with the lads tonight. Up the rail. Up the rail, Nigel. I mean, I know that you said sorry, I know you get 87 quid, it's entirely within your rights to do that. But come on, don't try and lecture the Irish people about the culture and history and precarious nature of peace on this island. You haven't got a clue. If you want to be, do you want to be an independent democratic national governed by foreign bureaucrats? That's the question that Ireland will ask itself. Those of you in the national media and national policies in Dublin will fight that as hard as you can because you've all benefited financially. Do the Irish people wish to be independent or not? And that is a debate that will happen in your country in the next few years. That was such a good interview. The way she talked to him was just so pleasant to watch. For anyone who's not aware, Up the Rail is a pro IRA phrase, which someone asked Nigel Farage to say. And you can guess because he's a British nationalist, he just didn't know what Up the Rail meant because I doubt he is the kind of guy who didn't endorse the IRA. Dahlia, what a great clip. What a great interview. For me, the ultimate par was actually the look, I know that you get 87 pounds and it's within your rights. That was just so shady. But first of all, what is this website? I didn't know that this is what our pound shop fascists were resorting to to make a buck these days. It's pretty embarrassing. But it's not surprising that he would go on with this kind of goal onto Irish TV and tell them why they're fighting the British, and because if they're just going to be. And also for me, it was the most illiterate part of it was actually him just saying, oh, you guys have benefited from being part from the UK for so long. And it's just like, you have no idea what you're talking about. But at the end of the day, Nigel Farage was made a long and very lucrative career out of going on TV, saying a historical nonsense and getting very little pushback that actually having the red carpet rolled out for him by, you know, big media outlets. And I also think that it's so interesting the ways in which these sort of Brexit types are so opposed to other independence movements, you know, like Irish unity, Scottish independence, etc. You know, in 2018, Nigel Farage lambasted the EU for saying that, you know, if Ireland was united, then the north of Ireland would be welcomed into the EU. And, you know, he lambasted the EU saying, Oh, you're you're stoking Irish nationalism. And I just the idea that Nigel Farage of all people could accuse someone else of stoking nationalism is absolutely absurd. And it just goes to show how deeply English the sensibilities of many of these high profile Brexiteers was, you know, we know it from the voting breakdown, particularly how Scotland and the north of Ireland voted in the referendum. But but actually the ideology, the ideological framework itself so baked in English nationalism and English exceptionalism, rather than this kind of abstract idea that every nation has a right to be sovereign. And we know that because, as you know, the Scots and as people in north of Ireland are trying to get independence referendums, unification referendums, which is fully within their right to do the same people who are calling for Brexit on the basis of sovereignty are in the first in line to ridicule and diminish and invalidate those calls, even though I actually can't see what the difference is. The only difference is that one is actually based in in historical some some independence claims are actually based in like historical fact and historical reality. And others are based in you know, delusions of colonial nostalgia. This reminded me actually, you're focused on the the 87 pounds thing and that host saying oh, it's well within your right if you make 87 pounds for your video apparently it's on cameo. Lots of American Republicans go on there for cash as well, you can get paid to just say something. What that made me think of though is another video I saw recently, which is unlisted on YouTube and features Nigel Farage. It was uploaded five days ago and it's announcing Nigel Farage's new project, which is to get people financial independence. So it says in the blurb that in this fortune and freedom program, you'll get the truth about your money behind the headlines, jargon and spin smart ideas about how to invest from real experts whom I trust all of this financial advice from a guy who needs 87 quid to back the IRA on camera. Are we going to watch some of this video or show them the screen? We're going to watch some of this video. Let's have a look. For almost 30 years, I fought a battle for us to get our independence as a country back from the European Union. It wasn't easy, but you know what? In the end, we won. Well, I'm now fighting a very different battle. It's a battle for each and every one of us to have financial independence because there are many of you out there that have given away your savings to other people to manage who've not been happy with the way in which it's been done. So what I'm trying to do is to give people knowledge to get them to understand how investments, how financial markets work. You've nothing to lose by subscribing to this.

Darlene, would you take financial advice from someone who gets paid 87 pounds who's a British nationalist to endorse the IRA online? A lot of people can get scammed and this is not cool. Not Nigel Farage joining like Financial Advice YouTube. That's just a dark, dark part of the internet. Honestly, I mean, obviously it's hilarious and it just shows this man for what he's always been, which is a total grifter. But he's good at it. Although is he really good at it if he's selling his soul for 87 pounds on the internet? I don't know. He's one of the most effective politicians that this country has had in the last 20 years. I don't think Brexit would have happened without him. But now, yeah, he is now reading whatever you want him to say on the internet for 87 pounds. It doesn't scream success to me.
