KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Nigel believes that people disrupt things to challenge the status quo. Disruption is often needed to change things for the better, Nigel thinks things haven’t been disrupted nearly enough in the world yet.
- It is plain for all to see that there are a lot of differing and polarising views on coronavirus. Nigel Farage thinks governments haven’t been honest enough from the start and it’s something we can learn to live with going forward. He is not prepared for his liberties to be taken away from him again so will not obey any further lockdowns.
- There is a big difference of mindset between a corporate business and the entrepreneur. The government may understand big business somewhat but they certainly don’t have a clue about small businesses and entrepreneurs. Nigel’s experience of working with the political class has shown him that there is a massive disconnect between the UK government and businesses.
- It was inevitable that Brexit was going to cause massive changes, there was always going to be winners and losers. However, Nigel thinks there are countless upsides to small business owners and entrepreneurs that the government still hasn’t utilised.
- Tax and Welfare need reforming drastically. Past governments have de-skilled the British population and have also turned what should be a safety net, into a very large welfare state. It has changed young people’s mindsets and there is a lack of aspiration among the younger generations especially.
- Nigel would love to run for Prime Minister but with the current UK system this is just not possible. He thinks that the UK political system needs a complete overhaul and bringing into the 21st century, starting with removing the first past to post system and the house of lords.
- Nigel believes that Boris Johnson has a very clever act and it has got him very far in his political career. However, he thinks the mood of the public after many lies and most recently, the revealing of all of the covid parties in government, will very likely be the end to it.
- The de-platforming and silencing of conservative voices across social media platforms is worrying to Nigel. He thinks it’s the medias way of trying to gain back control.
