The man who fucked-up the United Kingdom will stump for the man doing his best to fuck-up the United States, in an unholy union that must surely be one of the harbingers of the fiery inferno that will soon wash us all away. A spokesperson for Donald Trump has confirmed that Nigel Farage will speak at a presidential campaign rally in Jackson, Mississippi, where he is expected to recount the story of how he rode a wave of popular support straight over the edge of a cliff.

The former head of the far-right UK Independence Party, Farage played a key role in drumming up public support for the controversial Brexit campaign, in one of the most gob smacking displays of fear-mongering and deception in modern political history. Sound familiar?

Speaking to a Mississippi radio station ahead of the Wednesday night rally, Farage stopped just shy of officially endorsing the Republican candidate, although he did strongly advise against voting for Trump’s opponent. “If you vote for Hillary Clinton, then nothing will change,” the former UKIP head goblin told Super Talk Mississippi. “She represents the very politics that we’ve just broken through the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom.”

“The parallels between the people who voted Brexit and the people who could beat Clinton in a few weeks time here in America are uncanny,” Farage said. “If they want things to change they have to get up out of their chairs and go out and fight for it. It can happen. We’ve just proved it.”

Trump was himself a major supporter of the Brexit campaign, and last week issued a cryptic tweet declaring “they will soon be calling me MR. BREXIT!” The remark was thought to be a reference to the fact that the Brexit campaign trailed in the polls before claim a shocking upset win. Either that or he was just reminding people that he really, really dislikes immigrants.
