Brexit Party's Farage ridicules royals

says he wants William 'to live forever to stop Harry becoming king'
Washington Post via Canada.com
August 12,2019

LONDON — Nigel Farage didn’t hold back.

The leader of the Brexit Party lashed out at the “irrelevant” views of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the “overweight” late Queen Mother, and Prince Charles – or “Charlie Boy” – whom he hopes never becomes king.

Farage made the comments on Saturday at a dinner of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Sydney, inspired by the American gathering of the same name. Media outlets were banned from the dinner, but the Guardian newspaper obtained a partial recording of the speech.

(As to Harry) ...”he met Meghan Markle, and it’s fallen off a cliff.”Farage told the Sydney gathering that since Harry wed Meghan, he has become the “prince of wokeness.” ...Prince Charles, 70, the heir to the British throne, did not fare well...
“When it comes to Charlie Boy and climate change, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear,” Farage said. He said that he hoped that the queen, 93, would live “a very, very long time” to stop Charles from becoming monarch.

David Lammy, a Labour Party member of Parliament in the London borough of Tottenham, urged Farage to “lay off” the Duchess of Sussex in a tweet on Monday, labeling the Brexit Party leader a “bellicose toad.”

Prince George is next in line to The Crown, not Harry. In fact, for Harry to assume the Throne, William, George, Charlotte, and Louis would have to be predeceased.

Racist signaling about markle, check.
Climate change denialism, check.

The UK is one big and several small islands. Farage denies climate change which is already causing havoc there. Brexiteers won't hold back rising seas.

Have a weird, obsessive and downright creepy loathing of the Duchess of Sussex.

And yes, some of it appears to be down to her not being "racially pure" enough for these morons.
