Tice steps up for Farage over past racism claims – and gets nothing in return | John Crace

You could call it an act of friendship, except Nige sees Dicky less as a friend and more as a useful idiot

Alas poor Dicky. Put not your trust in Nigel. For in him there is no salvation.

It's not easy being Richard Tice. A man who has spent much of his recent life in Nigel Farage's shadow. Pushed around. Made to feel worthless. Losing what self-respect he may have had by the day.
