Farage returns to work posing with a pint and grinning like a twat

AS pubs reopen, Nigel Farage has got back to the daily grind of being photographed holding a pint and grinning like a twat.

Having spent lockdown violating America’s travel ban and reporting illegal migrants to the police, the amphibian-faced Brexit Party leader looked enthusiastic as he took his first steps behind the bar.

Farage said: “There’s more to being a politician than maintaining a deceptive public image through naff photo opportunities. I’ve also got to put in hours of backbreaking labour sipping pint after pint, which the media just happens to find fascinating.

“The shifts are long so I like to lift everyone’s spirits by beaming from ear to ear. I might even crack a joke, but I don’t like to bring the mood down by talking about politics.”

Making sure the cameras caught his best angle, Farage added: “Cynics think I only do this for attention. But I don’t think there’s a single person in England, or indeed Scotland, who would want me to fade into obscurity.”

Pub customer Stephen Malley said: “I was worried pubs would be overwhelmed when they reopened. But knowing Farage could be in any one of them is likely to scare people into staying at home. 

“For that I think he should be knighted. If he wasn’t such a grinning twat.”

How to be an absolute bellend on 'Super Saturday'

IT’S not long until scenes of drunken carnage begin to unfold on 4 July. But are you properly prepared to be an obnoxious, antisocial dick on ‘Super Saturday’?

Practise your ‘getting to the bar’ strategy

Rehearse charging toward the bar by sprinting up and down your living room. Get family members or housemates to stand in the way to hone your skills at barging past people while shouting “SORRY MATE!” in an obviously insincere way. 

Go where everybody else is going

This means a large, tacky ‘drinking factory’ pub where ‘Who Let the Dogs Out’ is still considered a fresh and cutting-edge song. Be surprised when it’s busy.

Tabloid photographers will already be booked into their hotels in places like Sunderland and Romford, like patient cheetahs awaiting their prey. Make sure you end up in one of the following classic photos:

● Tearful woman sitting on kerb being consoled by friend

● Couple who are practically having sex in the middle of the street outside Nando’s

● Man having nice little nap in his own piss

Behave like an absolute lunatic

Do things you would never do on a normal night out, such as: running around screaming with excitement, jumping in a river or simply buying £20 of sandwiches in Tesco. If you find you’ve somehow climbed a 200-foot crane and are now stuck, you’ve made the most of Super Saturday. 

Have the opposite of a good time

Within two hours get so wasted you can’t talk or have a laugh, let alone pull. Other fun options include: nasty drunken arguments with friends, breaking a tooth/wrist/foot, and shamefully getting arrested for obliviously urinating on a statue of Florence Nightingale.
