Nigel Farage does ‘do God’ – and has the Bible to prove it

Ever the insurgent, Nigel Farage decided to give his post-Clacton interview to BBC Sunday Politics today rather than Andrew Marr show. He would have regretted fairly soon: the line of questioning was all about Ukip policies, which are notoriously flimsy. What about Patrick O’Flynn’s idea for a SamCam tax on luxury goods? Farage dropped it, but said today there was nothing to drop. He once said on Telegraph TV that the NHS should be run by businessmen – is that Ukip policy? There’s a “very strong argument” for that, he said, but was it policy? He didn’t say.

Lucky the BBC’s current inability to beam in an interview in to his studio from Britain (as opposed to Afghanistan) cut him short. The audio, or what little there was of it, is below.
