Because my memory is slightly better than a goldfish, and it happens I can remember what happened three years ago.
The month leading up to the referendum, it was all Johnson and Gove. Vote Leave, and their monkeybus.
They were the official campaign, and the media treated them accordingly, with constant presence, saturation across all stations.

Fartage was nowhere in that. But what happened as soon as the referendum result came in? can you remember? Because I fuckin can.
Johnson and Gove, vanished. Whoosh. Couldn't see that pair of shysters for dust

Well, the media needs constant feeding. 24 hours a day. Farage at least understands how media works. And while Johnson and Gove were nowhere to be seen, he stepped in filled the space
And that's how English media works. It's just a whore. It needed a Brexiteer to put on TV, and Farage was available.
So while every other fucker was in hiding, Farage was establishing himself as the face of the referendum result.

I remember sitting there and watching it happen, the media creating this mythology around Farage.
He had nothing to do with the referendum, but you all think he did because the media has created that illusion.
