What a right, royal mess UK politics are in at the moment.

First it was pig-fornicator David Cameron announcing he would be resigning as British Prime Minister in October.

It seemed that might pave the way for Boris Johnson to take a run at the hot seat, although he too announced he would no longer run,  and is currently busy digging the knives out of his back (HERE) and being abused on the street (HERE).

Now it’s the turn of Nigel Farage to call it quits, the controversial UKIP leader announcing moments ago that he is stepping down as the party leader.

That’s the same Nigel who gave the snottiest, least gracious winner speech at the European Parliament last week – do watch that HERE.

Here’s Sky News:

“My aim in politics was to get Britain out of the European Union,” he said.

“That is what we voted for in that referendum two weeks ago, and that is why I now feel that I’ve done my bit, that I couldn’t possibly achieve more.

“And so I feel it’s right that I should now stand aside as leader of UKIP.”

This from BBC:

Mr Farage said the party would campaign against “backsliding” on the UK’s exit from the EU, saying he planned to see out his term in the European Parliament – describing his party as “the turkeys that voted for Christmas”.

He said he would not be backing a candidate to replace him, saying “may the best man or woman win”.

Something about this has a distinct ‘men walking away from explosions’ feel to it all…
