I am an American, and it was Nigel who spoke up at a Trump rally that gave us Americans the extra hope we desperately. wanted.

[@janwright1]

Nigel should be awarded a Knighthood, a bravery medal, and the thanks from every member of British Society!!!! (of which he already has more than half).

[@davidsmith-vc9ul]

jan wright;You are right, thanks Nigel Farage,i will vote for you and ukip you are well spoken and are very articulate and very funny at times ,brilliant,very charismatic,a natural leader,good luck sir.

[@perperson199]

A hereditary peerage is in place I think. An Earldom at least

[@A1DJPaul]

NEVER Trust What the MAIN STREAM MEDIA Think, Write , or Say about NIGEL FARAGE. Nigel is Here for the Everyday people. We Love him !

[@A1DJPaul]

Nigel Farage = The Most Famous Man in Living History ! A True Hero of Freedom. The most sensible person in politics. this is what a " TRUE LEADER " is defined by.

[@bmarkyt132]

Nigel is my political hero, absolute legend!

[@valkyriesardo278]

This American was so pleased and proud that Mr. Farage accepted invitatoin to the RNC convention. It delighted me to see Nigel and Donald smile and clasp hands, two very different business men, but kindred souls in their love of country. Each man the perfect voice in their time and place.

[@jentheblue2334]

I love Farage too! He is the saviour of Britain.......though NEVER underestimate the will of the EU and the political classes to scupper a democratic decision.

[@TheGadgiedan]

He definitely loves to portray himself as one and I can only agree that he is a good speaker. But a hero? Why, exactly?

[@garymorgan3314]

Can't get elected though. Fair's fair, He did brilliantly to get and win the referendum ..albeit I am absolutely opposed.

[@numbersix100]

When the historians look back at this last 100+ years I'm sure their assessment of Nigel Farage and his impact on British and western democracies they will judge his role as pivotal in saving national democracies in the west, more important than Churchill even. I'm sure they will rank Nigel in importance second only to Oliver Cromwell in the last 400 years. Oliver Cromwell gave us democracy, Nigel has recovered it from where our neoliberal ruling elite had so disgracefully discarded over the last twenty years.

[@WmTyndale]

Cromwell Indeed was a great, misunderstood man. Thomas Carlyle's "The letters and Speeches of Oliver Cromwell" is a must read. Cromwell crushed Popery and the Divine Right of Kings. The heads of these serpents continued to writhe for a while but eventually perished forever! Cheers!

[@psycharol]

A man of the people!

[@Telcontar1962]

You are wrong, and its Farage's own fault for that. I realise this is 3 years after the fact but i could have told you the same the nanosecond he ran away from the Tories at the 11th hour. Brexit could and would ONLY have been delivered by the Brexit party. And because he ran from that fight to destroy the Conservative party he helped serve up the British people to it once again. He was like a general leading an army into a battle but then running away and turning it into a trap from which there was no escape. Farage knew that then and knows it now. In fact anyone who knows the Westminster Parliament, for that's what it should be called because its no legitimate government of the UK (as is) and hasn't been since 1649, knows that it detests the British people and would never surrender any control to it whatsoever under any circumstances. If you think the UK is in anyway shape or form democratic then you are under some very severe illusions.

[@JLar-bb5hl]

I could listen to this guy for hours. Pure common sense, told with decorum of a Greek orator of way back yonder.

[@brit-in-czech]

A lovely (and witty) introduction from the College President, don't skip it! And Farage, as usual, is brilliantly on point.

[@adelezierler1547]

I'm a superfan of Nigel Farage. He doesn't only help Great Britain and it's people, he shows the whole world how very important democracy and freedom is, to become successful, freedom is cherished, used in a sincere & honest, positive way. Liked the speaker very much in so eloquently describing Nigel Farage.

[@RobSinclaire]

England had the foresight to retain her own currency - everyone else got naked, so to speak

[@Sandbek1973]

This was brilliant! I wish we had mr Farage as prime minister here in Norway or at least someone of his caliber, but unfortunately for us we're stuck with nothing but garbage.

[@tpartypower]

I love Nigel. he is the Donald Trump of England. Put out the call fr him to come and rescue the people of UK

[@TheLewisLegend]

the UK* there are 4 countries of the UK not just England

[@MaxSafeheaD]

He's very similar to an English Trump, thats true. Both appeal to the social conservatives and base fears of the populations. The same people follow them and the same people will waste most of their lives for a few rich men.

[@gazlink1]

@@TheLewisLegend yes but to be fair Farage is English.. We have Welsh, Irish and even Scottish supporters of Brexit all working for Brexit for the UK.

[@begoodnohate372]

Nigel i take my hat off 2 u well done

[@kevinstonehouse4284]

I'll be voting for you Nigel, your the closest to mr trump that we have.x

[@kimlukus302]

Nigel farage you are fantastic!!

[@Tankaroonies]

Mr Farage is the successful metal dealer, whom becomes the failed politician in parliament, and becomes the greatest politician ever for me.

[@edwardpf123]

Great speech!

[@arng111]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@dcbonner756]

Bravo Hillsdale College!!

[@verityweekly]

Nigel, Churchill may have had an American mother, but you are our favorite son!

[@chazzcannon3614]

Great man. When I compare this guy to the manlet Trudeau we're stuck with in Canada, I weep.

[@michaelsaenz1700]

I feel our neighbors to the north.Do you think Ford has a chance in the future?

[@greeny202ab]

Chazz Cannon "manlet" ha ha ha ha I nearly had a heart atack laughing at that.

[@donkeykong5660]

Nigel gave us all hope.

[@gisterme2981]

What a spectacular display of good sense! It's SO refreshing to know that our own President isn't the only prominent public leader who has not been tainted by left-wing academia.

[@paranoidozzy1970]

Fantastic bravo

Nigel ! What a great lover of liberty! Great speech! Inspirational!

Recommendable! We will remember Nigel Farage for decades to come

[@annmarielucas9682]

Great speech Nigel

[@juniorvonclaire3576]

Saw this recommendation after watching Glenn Beck video, interview with Daniel Hannan. Here’s my comment from there... CONGRATULATIONS 🇬🇧 🎊🎈💥 Here in America, we’ve prayed and prayed. I’m a HUGE football 🏈 fan but, unlike the Super Bowl, Brexit really MATTERS!!! (I did play 9 seasons of “soccer” in my youth 🧐) Enjoy, but remember: around the world and throughout history, it’s been tyranny versus freedom in one form or another. The latter must be earned and forever defended, preferably without bloodshed. The entire West, and more, is facing a massive push by oppressors. You’re dealing with it; we’re dealing with it. Vigilance mustn’t give way complacency. The battle continues everywhere, bombs and bullets or no. 🇺🇸🇬🇧🙏🏻🙌🏻✌🏻

[@donaldharvey763]

I would give you the keys to all uk citys Mr Nigel farage you have saved a nation and I for one personal solute you sir and you should be nighted as sir Nigel ferage no less would do for me nbe Obe and what ever else my sovereign Queen has left in hur bag of secret juwels to thank you with for the eu even threatened our queen's sovereignty If your ever passing my home you can take the seat at the head of my table any old time and eat your fill I thank you

[@virianbouze6433]

Good Job Nigel, you do make a difference and you may just save the U.K. and Brexit!

[@bernardstewart7102]

Virian Bouze completely agree

[@monicaberan8639]

Australia should have a Nigel. He might be able to put a rocket under our useless politicians' bums to wake them up.

[@lindasims7130]

You are right - they will never let us go by negotiation. We must cut loose ( you can't have half a freedom) and then negotiate a trade deal.

[@joshuavillalvazo1323]

This man is an English patriot. He is the only politician that the majority over here respect. I know Britain needs him but I still wish he was an American. God bless the United states of America and God bless a free England

[@anthonybattams6693]

Brexit date set and the UK gets to leave an hour early! at midnight Brussels time at 11pm on March 29, 2019

[@chriscorsi622]

[@frangipang1955]

Nigel didn't need to go to College. He had his vision. Nothing could teach him the natural ability he has to be the great leader and Statesman.

[@jamesepler7156]

Sorry Nigel, that was the deadest room I've ever seen. Great Britain and America owe you an eternal debt. From America, great work and Thank You...

[@puck61luck64]

We here in America needs to do this now are selves to get our country back. Trump or nothing.

[@davewarwicker2512]

There are two sides to Nigel. He is a debate genius and gave 25 years of campaigning :-) In the debit column he licenced an internal coup in UKIP where the electable talent was purged (James, Wolfe, Evans, Carswell + after which many also fled (Reckless, John Reece Evans). The biggest casualty was the voter, could you vote for them after watching that?

[@jamesmurphy3246]

The greatest Englishman since sir Winston Churchill 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

Nigel is awesome! He speaks to what Americans are saying too, we have had enough British interference. Aka- Rothchilds.

The problem with expecting regular applause from that audience is that it looks to be an old audience.

[@davewarwicker2512]

UKIP was the third party in 2015, and was alone as a significant populist movement. Now UKIP is nothing, while populism surges across the globe. The problem was that it was always about Nigel. I still like him though, we are all flawed.

[@frangipang1955]

He was forced to leave UKIP because Gerrard Batten, the Leader of UKIP at that time sought to employ Tommy Robinson as his advisor. Nigel thought TR was the wrong influence for the party. Plus he went into semi retirement after the Referendum. Then came back because he was needed and formed The Brexit Party, which has turned out to be a good move.

[@virianbouze6433]

Nigel Ferage, is the British version of Donald Trump. How about that!!!

[@anonimouse4678]

[@havolei]

Speaking about Hillary Clinton, he suddenly got this (purely Clintonian) coughing attack; and I thought: "Now, Nigel - Time for a classical improvised comment".. But he missed that one.

[@LightSound369]

Churchill was a Jesuit, any questions Nigel?

[@ryanphillips4218]

And covid happened. Undoing all the good done.

[@ralfrath699]

Nigel´s horror dream is a soft Brexit. Why? If the British people have to pay the price for the Brexit and the weak and the sick British Pound then they expect that Britain would solve the immigration problem. But today even the Euro is booming and Britain has left the EU but EU Britain was the second important EU country - what a disaster? ANTWORTEN

[@robertmason6366]

Love Nigel and Trump but Churchill Sold us out

[@bernardstewart7102]

Robert Mason merely an opinion, but remember no one in government had the bottle or experience too do what had to be done he kept saying that war was coming

[@1chish]

Very few British politicians can go to the USA, speak their mind and be so welcomed as Sir Nigel is. Margaret Thatcher was the last conviction politician who did this (and of course was totally in tune with an earlier Republican POTUS - Reagan). I dismiss Blair for the lying two faced war criminal he is, someone who had no beliefs just an addiction to power by any means and the one who most deliberately shut down free speech on immigration as he opened our doors even wider.

[@mcai9mh3]

what a simpleton.

[@celteuskara]

Great man, a hero, but this old crap about German unification is tiresome. Germany deserves its rightful place in the world, and refusal to fairly admit this by jealous, greedy world powers brought the wars, not some inherent trait in the German character. Tiresome, boomer rubbish.

[@davesy6969]

He really is slime.

[@puck61luck64]

You must be a Democrat, nothing more and there is not anything less. Have a good day.

[@paxdriver]

Wow, the appeals for boos are sooooo cheesy!

[@patrickgleason2066]

Farage being comparable with Winston Churchill; that’s just so politically illiterate. Farage failed to be elected to the Commons six times. That’s a better measure of how the British public view Nigel.

[@yonsi7]

I wholeheartedly agree with Nigel and the late Winston Churchill,who saved Britain from being enslaved by Nazi Germany,and do not forget that Germany started the 1st and 2nd World Wars and Japan started waking the Sleeping Giant and Germany and Japan both lost and humiliated,but now they are the greatest economy at the present time with the USA coming 1st Place,if UK did not become a Puppet of the EU it will be in 2nd place hihi,please think about it hihi,tku.

[@ClemHem]

at 4:30: "53% of the British people" - this statement is eloquent proof of how far removed the speaker is from an accurate appraisal of reality, when in fact only 27% of the British population (amounting to 37% of the electorate) voted for Brexit. among the votes actually cast and counted, those in favor of "Leave" were 52% (and the speaker didn't even quote that figure accurately).

[@neilhedley6947]

Who's put the money behind Nigel.Yes,your right,not the middle or working classes

[@markroberts868]

Neil Hedley :The working classes are the people who voted for Brexit. Tut tut.

[@EricRobinsoncav3manb0b]

All he does and posture and shout.

[@patriciacook8429]

Eric Robinson wish he could shout louder

[@garsm2290]

Ironic that Farage the money-grabbing fraud should have a picture of Churchill !!!

[@bobmorris2905]

he is a lire"a go with the uk party and brexit...

[@craigsteese2932]

Next to Nigel, Trumps speeches are a little on the mild side. Trump loves fairness and the American people. That is what will get him Re elected.

[@stucrawford6230]

Not Great

[@j.michaeljefferson60]

Nigel is a very good speaker and he's an enjoyable friend of America and the American people
