About this eBook
In an age of colourless bureaucrats, Nigel Farage is a politician who is impossible to ignore, provoking controversy and admiration in equal measure. A fun-loving iconoclast whose motto is work hard and play harderA", Farage's charismatic leadership and determination to battle the forces of anti-libertarianism have made him a Robin Hood figure to many, and propelled his party, UKIP, into a position of real power in the country. Never one for a quiet life, this paperback edition includes the story of Nigel's extraordinary escape from death in a plane crash on the eve of the 2010 general election (the light aircraft he was flying in got caught up in a UKIP banner it was towing and crashed shortly after take-off, badly injuring Farage and his pilot), his recovery and return to the leadership of UKIP in November 2010. Featuring sometimes hilarious and often terrifying encounters with a stellar supporting cast, including Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Nicolas Sarkozy, Jose Manuel Barroso, and UKIP's short-lived, silver-gilt masco, Robert Kilroy-Silk - and told with Farage's customary wit and humour, Fighting Bull is a candid, colourful life story by a fascinating and controversial character. It also shows that one fearless, determined individual can still make a difference.

This is the ramblings of an incoherent pisshead, with that horrible tobacco smell breath. I originally thought I could buy this on Google Play, but when I tried I got the following message Error: This book is about living back in the 1960s, Android is yet to be invented. The paper was that yellow colour, you normally find in very old books, I think the reason for that is that this is a political dinosaur of a book. The author comes across as a grumpy loud mouthed pillock, I think he has issues and would do better seeking psychiatric help, than the position of Prime Minister. I would avoid this book at all expense, because reading it causes nausea and vomiting.

Next up from Farrago is his walking guide called 20 steps then Foxtrot Oscar, this man is a con merchant of epic proportions.
