Our Nige nearly assasinated

[MrMarkyMark]

FTFY

In reality, Farage made the whole thing up, as he was desperate for some kind of new year publicity

[Flashman]

Well the EU messes up everything it gets involved with so wouldn't be surprised to learn they couldn't even manage an assassination .

In reality probably one of those Socialist Worker thugs did the job. Victory to the People!

[VectraMan]

But everything else he says is still true right?

[NickFitz]

Sounds like a lot of ridiculous, made-up bollocks to me, rather like everything else he says

Oh, look: UKIP leader Nigel Farage's car WASN'T sabotaged says French mechanic | Metro News

Mr Marquis says that the reason he knows for certain that no one told Mr Farage about any sabotage is because neither he nor his employees speak any English.

‘We had to talk in sign language,’ he said.

Libération further reports that no witness vouches for Mr Farage’s reported account and the police didn’t mention any sabotage either. A source said police arrived at the accident, but found no one hurt and so did not examine the car.

‘Hence they could not suspect anything.’

Original story, for those who know French: Royaume-Uni : le leader de Ukip victime d’une tentative d’assassinat ? Pas si sûr… and via Google Translate for those of us who've forgotten it all: United Kingdom: the leader of Ukip victim of an assassination attempt? Not so sure…

All looks a bit fishy to me:

- I've had a wheel fall off of my car without the bolts being loosened deliberately and I think you'll find other people have too, i.e. Information re: V70 front wheels falling off while driving - Volvo Forums - Volvo Enthusiasts Forum
- I know this stretch of road quite well and in fact drove down it about a week after this incident was meant to have taken place. There were no roadworks that I recall and that infographic is totally wrong (but it is the DM)

A Volvo V70, eh? VOSA recall: Recall Details for VOLVO CAR - V60, V70, XC70, S80, XC90

EDIT: Also of note is that the French police have not "confirmed" anything, no matter what the subhead might assert; all the article reports is Nige claiming that they said something to him. One assumes the Mail sought confirmation of this reported speech from the French police, but didn't get it, despite the fact that you'd expect there to be a formal accident report if "The French police and mechanics" looked at the car and came to such a conclusion.

Either:

The Global Elite (billionaires & EU puppet masters) called in their undercover elite special ops units to terminate him.

OR

He paid a recent visit to Kwik-Fit for some new tyres.

[GJABS]

Who's going to be the first to ask: Where was Prince Philip at the time?

[SlipTheJab]

Does he really think he is important enough to assassinate? Pompous tw@t probably loosened them himself to get a bit of coverage!

[BrilloPad]

Ukip leader lost control

Did he ever have control?

Hypocrite!

Driving a foreign car

In France too.

Both problems will be solved once we leave the EU.
