Shock Horror!!!
Nigel Farage wears his ignorance as a badge of honour.
I know its not the worst thing he has ever done, but one his excuses for not registering his financial interests as an MP is
"I don't do computers...I am not computer literate, which makes me more of an oddball.."
Farage also said the system for registering interests was "not designed for anybody in business".
Sorry, but sorry. The ability
to semi-competently use a computer is a genuinely valuable real world skill
