      He did disrupt the Tories and thus the whole country. He managed to get Brexit done without even being elected, and even precisely in the way he wanted (no-deal Brexit, the hardest of them all).

      Doesn’t mean that he’s not establishment.

      The typical playbook is lie until caught, shield oneself with lawyers as long as that works, get a light sentence or none due to being rich, and then tell one’s electorate the whole thing was politically motivated persecution.

      Of course I’m still new to UK politics, maybe the rouble has a different conversion rate here.

      Not liking Farage is one thing but making up shit is another.

      Of course he has had an impact on British politics. To say otherwise is madness.
