Who said it was his fault?

The accusation is about the hypocrisy he is now engaged in by milking his public display of his private affairs and making a fuss about "all the others who have been debanked", when he could, and perhaps should, have been making the same point you made above. He isn't, and probably won't, because it would turn the spotlight back on him as the architect of the base reason for their closure.

That's for everyone to judge for themselves. My view is that Farage tries to portray himself as different to other politicians. He likes to be seen as a beer-swilling man of the people. "Good ol Nigel", who's one of us and on our side. When the truth is he is no different at all. He comes from a privileged background and made loads of money in the City before becoming obsessed with our EU membership and becoming a populist politician. A politician whose approach harnesses xenophobia as a motive force to drive policies that, in my view, damage our country.

Exposing his hypocritical character and showing him to be every bit, and often much more, a devious politician than all the rest may open the eyes of some people and enable them to see him in a fresh light.

My own view of Farage hardened when I saw him fawning over Trump, someone I regard as the worst political development I have witnessed in my lifetime. In many ways, Farage is our Trump. Not so extreme, or corrupt, but that's mainly because of the environment within which both operate. The two of them supporting each other makes my buttocks wince.

His now using GB News as a free daily political platform is similar to the way Trump used to use Twitter. Bypass the pesky need to have journalists report and analyse what you say. Go directly to the people and get your spin straight into their ears, unfiltered. Posing as a journalist yourself is a clever way of fooling the people again, just as he did in 2016.

This is populist politics and it's unhealthy. Read the thread on Netanyahu to understand why.

not Santander, wrong again.....getting to be a habit,isnt it?

Hitler's influence was all but over when I was born. I was only 9 when Stalin died. There's more of an argument for Mao. The others were all much more regional in their impact. I single out Trump because of the power and influence of the USA and its connection to us and the rest of the Western democracies.

Maybe Farage is no worse, that's debatable, but he is no better. That's the point. He isn't the champion of the common man, untouched by a corrupt system, that he pretends to be.

Their impact may have been regional but it resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, in some cases many millions, of people.
Whatever Trump's failings he's not remotely in the same league.
