Hi,
I note with interest that Hugo Rifkind has chosen to voice the fact that for all the fraud emanating from the Hobbits in the Shires and their pretence to the Gentlemen’s clubs of St. James dressed as Arthur Dalley clones for the event when they are so much more in keeping in their ratting outfits that they believe pass as Country suits for the gentry – they even seem to have all the morality of the game keeper if D.H.Lawrence is the arbitter!
They do so desperately want to be seen as the New Establishment by posing as anti-establishment, just as the Communist Uprising of 1917 overthrough the Czars whilst only putting in place a new and shoddy version of the Czars without the taste, finnesse or aplomb as the money they purloined funded their act as the monkey in silk which is a monkey no less.
When it comes to all this prattle of Knighthoods – would that their fathers had worn them!
May I suggest you read my earlier article on this issue, whilst you ponder just what hypocryts Nigel Farage and his cronies are.
Hugo Rifkind brings these certainties to a yet larger audience!
The real reason Nigel Farage hates Douglas Carswell
Itâs not just about a knighthood. Itâs about a real anti-establishment man and a fake one

Hugo Rifkind   4 March 2017  9:00 AM
If the British establishment really wants to troll Ukip, then I suppose it ought to give Douglas Carswell a knighthood for blocking Nigel Farageâs knighthood.
He says he didnât, of course, and I donât see how he could have done. Farage, though, clearly thinks he did, and his wrath about this is the most fun thing to have happened in British politics for ages. Heâs furious. His little demons are furious. Too furious, really. âThis must be about something else,â I kept thinking. âDeep down, it must be. But what?â
According to the great smoked kipper himself, in the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday, Carswell has been a thorn in the side of Ukip ever since he had the temerity to join it and then win two Westminster elections on its behalf. It didnât mention knighthoods once, that article, although Iâd like to think Farage winced forlornly at the byline. Instead it raged about Carswellâs closeness to Vote Leave, which, reckons Farage, directly contributed to that group becoming the official Out campaign in the referendum, rather than Ukipâs preferred Leave.eu or Grassroots Out. Remember that? Vaguely? He does.
Meanwhile, the millionaire Arron Banks, who somehow manages to be in Farageâs pocket even though Farage is in his, like some sort of grotesque contortionist act, was sounding off about Carswell in the Daily Express. Possibly you missed this because, well, Daily Express, but it was strident stuff. He did mention the knighthood, accused Carswell of sabotaging it and said he should be kicked out of the party as a result. Banks wants to be made party chairman, whereupon he will kick Carswell out, or else he plans to run against Carswell in his Clacton constituency at the next election in a great Ukip vs Ukip showdown. Thatâs how cross he is. âThese dullards arenât bringing in Tory votes,â he said. This echoed Farageâs own remarks a few days before, that Nuttall had lost in Stoke because he was too centrist. âWe failed to get tactical votes from the Conservatives,â he said.
ÂNow, mere weeks ago, it was Labour voters who were supposed to be ripe for Ukip plucking. This, supposedly, was because they were pro-Brexit, protectionist and anti-immigration, while Labour had become a party only for people who eat muesli and drive electric cars around the North Circular. This was the consensus in Westminster generally and, as far as one can make out, Ukip agreed with it. Just last week, though, the political scientist John Curtice pointed out something which ought to have been obvious for ages, which was that although most Labour constituencies did indeed vote Brexit, the majority of Labour voters in those constituencies did not. Or to put that another way, the whole strategy was bollocks. Whereupon, bang on time, along came the Stoke by-election to prove the point.
But itâs not wholly clear why any of this should have been Douglas Carswellâs fault. Liberal, anti-protectionist and actively pro-immigration, heâd hardly have been the poster boy for those mythical old Labour Brexiteers, even if they had existed, which they didnât. So it seems to me that Banks and Farage, in seeking to pin the blame for their own massive miscalculation on him, are angry with him about something else altogether.
Which is where we come back to the knighthood. It is also where we come back to their ongoing resentment about not being the official Leave campaign, even though it was almost a year ago, for Godâs sake, and they won anyway. And it is also where we should bring in Carswellâs first offence against the Ukip hierarchy, which came about two years ago when he declined the âShort moneyâ that opposition parties get to finance their operations, thereby doing Farage out of the sort of swanky Westminster base that all the other parties enjoy. Essentially, the problem with Carswell is that he truly believes all the anti-establishment stuff. He really does think that Ukip should be a party apart. Whereas the rest of them donât. They only pretend.
You can see it with Farage in America. There he is, this man who failed seven times to even become an MP, going on talk shows and basking in the vague presumption over there that heâs probably, like, the Limey prime minister or something. At Trumpâs elbow, he gets to consider himself a statesman, a potential ambassador. Likewise Banks, a man who was once so piqued when William Hague didnât remember his name that he immediately gave Ukip a million quid. These people do not want to smash the establishment. They want to be the establishment. This is why they keep fighting the referendum even though the referendum is won, because they bristle with resentment at their lack of recognition, the lack of a ticker-tape parade for having won it. This is also, I suppose, why Paul Nuttall wears tweed, even though it makes him look like a skinhead Rupert Bear.
These people donât hate the establishment. They only hate the fact that they arenât quite in it. They want respect. They want to be grandees, with clubs in St Jamesâs, House of Lords stationery and invitations to the royal garden party. They want, damn it, a goddamn knighthood. I bet they thought theyâd have all these things by now. And yet somehow still they donât. Bummer, eh?

âDeliberately blocked Nigelâs knighthoodâ Relations have long been acrimonious (Photo credit: PA) Relations have long been acrimonious (Photo credit: PA) The latest animosity, which has led to Mr Farage calling for the partyâs only MP to resign, entered the public sphere on Saturday night, as Ukip donor Arron Banks said: âCarswell deliberately blocked Nigel knighthood that had been okâd by Tories. Disgraceful behaviour from a nobody.â He added: âThe system required the Ukip MP to confirm to the Tories and he refused to do it. I believe the email is not very pleasant in the subject!â An email on the subject was leaked to the Telegraph with Mr Carswell saying Mr Farage should be given an OBE âfor services to headline writersâ. Mr Carswell, defending the exchange, told the Press Association: âQuite clearly I tried my best to make sure he got an honour that reflects his contributionâ. Carswellâs email to former Ukip leader, Lord Malcolm Pearson, 31 December âAs promised, I did speak to the government chief whip. Perhaps we might try angling to get Nigel an OBE next time round? For services to headline writers? An MBE, maybe? Letâs discuss âŚâ Mr Carswell has âbrought nothing to the party at allâ
