Does Farage ever stop (breaking rules)

So up popped my news this morning, yesterday Farage was sworn in (again), then, on the very first day of Parliament this session, went up onto the roof and filmed a social media. Completely against the rules, for extremely obvious reasons.

What is wrong with this man? Surely he, out of everyone, understands the meaning of national security?

He's one of these people who pushes boundaries to see how far he can go, No one stops him, total loose cannon, and he gets away with it!
He is always just this side of the rules /laws. Just wish someone could squash him. I really hope he comes a cropper, fully understand why some people gravitate to him, apparently very charming with it.

I have worked with a few people who have done this, absolute nightmare to manage.

I so agree, if he ever got into no. 10 his voters would be horrified at his policies, just like they were with Boris. Some people vote for someone they like and only belatedly learn what they stand for.

Another excuse for him not to turn up to parliament

Like Trump, he has realised that all publicity is good. As long as he's in the public eye, he demands (and is given) enough oxygen to survive and grow. And here am I, giving him a little bit more... But what can we do? If we publicise him as a fool, he survives at the forefront of our minds. If we ignore him, he sneaks in anyway, apparently harmlessly because nobody cared enough to comment. Some of the most destructive people in history have looked and behaved like laughable idiots, giving us something to make jokes about while they steal away everything we hold dear.

Describes Farage perfectly.

Of course he is.
Never happier than when getting pointers from the maestro of rule breaking and hogging the media with absolute drivel. No doubt his constituents will be happy with him for spending more time over the past couple of years in the US than with them, afterall they voted for him, again.
Perhaps Trump could rename Farage ‘Nigel Trump’ has a certain ring to it

Farage does want to be as much.like his idol as possible even trying to achieve the orange look.
A lot of good he is doing for Clacton in the US. They would have been better off with anybody else.

He obviously can't handle doing things normally.
