Farage: We've had enough of bland, insipid, play-safe politicians
Nigel Farage blasted “bland” and “insipid” politicians as part of a discussion about whether “plain speaking” damages politicians.
Speaking on the BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Farage said the public wants politicians who “speak their mind”.
He said: “We’ve had enough of bland, insipid, dull, play-safe politicians and we want something different.”
Asked by host John Humphrys what he wanted, the MEP said: “I want Brexit to happen.”

Humphrys then asked if the former Ukip leader wanted to be in the House of Lords, with Mr Farage responding: “Not particularly.”
The journalist hit back saying that wasn’t very plain-speaking.
Mr Farage replied: “No, no I don’t! I want Brexit to happen properly and I worry that we’re seeing dither and delay.”
The Brexiteer also said that anyone outside the “orthodoxy” gets dumped on by the press and social media.

He said: “Anybody that voices a view that is outside the mainstream orthodoxy gets dumped on by the newspapers, the media, social media but you know what? So what?
“It doesn’t matter. ‘Joe public’ doesn’t see it like that.”
He added that there have been some “real characters” coming into politics in recent years.
Mr Farage added: “And what you saw over the last couple of years are real characters and personalities coming back into politics, right across the Western world.
“Speak up everybody!”
