Nigel Farage clutched his pearls and resigned from Ukip last week, protesting that he of all people could not possibly associate with criminals. Grinning to the cameras, Malloch told the BBC that he was likely to be Trump’s ambassador to the EU. I should not have to emphasise the appeal of the slogans Malloch and, by extension, Farage and Trump, parrot. When we turn to America and Britain we find the friends of the fastidious Farage receiving a visit from the cops. The 2016 Trump and Brexit campaigns, Putin, Assange and the continental enemies of freedom feed off each other.
