Nigel Farage MP (just kidding) has appeared on BBC Breakfast TV to deny any links to the Russian Government.

In an interview Mr Farage MP (just kidding) said, “? ????? ??????? ????????????? ??????? ????? ??????????? ? ???, ??? ? ??? ???-????, ??? ??? ???????? ? ????????, ?????? ????? ?????? ?? ??????????? ?????????????. ??? ????? ???? ???????? ? ??????, ?????????????? ??????? «?????????» ? ???????????, ? ??????? ? ?? ????????, ???????? ?? ???? ?????? ? ???????? ????????? ???????? ? ????… ??????? ???? ????????? ? ?????????, ? ????????? ???? ??…????? ? ??? ?? ?”??????.”

Mr Farage was appearing at the same time as Leave.EU big cheese, Aaron Banks denied any involvement from Russia on The Andrew Marr Show. Mr Banks, wearing a gold lame tracksuit with gold trainers and a diamond bracelet denies all allegations of Russian funding for the campaign.

Mr Farage later told the show, “Look, just because everything I do is in the interests of the Russian Government it doesn’t mean I’m a useful idiot. I’m not useful at all. And that award I’m receiving from Russia is for my hard hitting journalism.”

Mr Farage, who denies being friends with Julian Assange who definitely isn’t working for Russian Intelligence despite visiting him in his embassy also denied ever meeting Mr Banks.

“Look, that photo is clearly not me and Aaron. I’ve never met him before and I definitely didn’t have anything to do with the Russian Ambassador who is in that photograph.”
