“Ordinary people” Nigel Farage and Donald Trump stick it to the elites by posing in gold-plated lift

We've all got gold lifts at home, haven't we?

Just yesterday UKIP's former/current/returning/interim (delete as appropriate) leader Nigel Farage claimed to be the voice of "ordinary people" when he appeared on American news channel Fox News. He was discussing Donald Trump's election as President, which shocked the world this week: https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/797478154491363332 Farage, the biggest proponent of the UK leaving the European Union was quick to ally himself with Trump during the American Presidential campaign, and as soon as he could book a flight, was on on way over to the US to try to meet the new President-elect. Like Farage, Trump too has painted himself as the champion of the ordinary citizen, while at the same time (somewhat confusingly) taking every opportunity to remind everyone just how incredibly rich he is. Trump probably has little idea who Nigel Farage actually is, but nonetheless, the UKIP man got his meeting with The Donald - and where better for these two champions of the "ordinary" people to pose for a photograph op than in a lift made out of gold? https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/797584449047265281 Naturally, there were some comments... https://twitter.com/clairequeenb/status/797748791273197568 https://twitter.com/PublicBenjamin/status/797588507703279617 https://twitter.com/AndyGilder/status/797749787936362496 https://twitter.com/helenlewis/status/797697070299758592 https://twitter.com/Markfergusonuk/status/797598966368047104 https://twitter.com/Oscar_Isham/status/797743508069224448 https://twitter.com/KarlBrophy/status/797740137044148225 https://twitter.com/daveg951/status/797746482430545920 After their meeting, Farage Tweeted: "Donald Trump's support for the US-UK relationship is very strong. This is a man with whom we can do business." Gold business, presumably. Catch up with the latest episode of Football Friday Live here:
