I hope he's invested a lot of money in that because I've never been as certain about anything, but that's going to flop and won't be in the market 2 years from now.

I imagine the white gin will be most popular of course…

Red white and blue Gin...
Just like Brexit, a money making scheme masked behind some weird notion of patriotism.
That’s some of his most blatant trolling yet, “patriotic flavours”. He doesn’t even bother to hide his contempt of the people daft enough to follow him.
According to good old Wikipedia (yes yes I know): -
Gin originated as a medicinal liquor made by monks and alchemists across Europe, particularly in southern Italy (Salerno), Flanders and the Netherlands, to provide aqua vita from distillates of grapes and grains. It then became an object of commerce in the spirits industry. Gin became popular in England after the introduction of jenever, a Dutch and Belgian liquor that was originally a medicine.
Oh dear Nigel, seems as though gin isn't as British as you thought.

Least we forget Farage is a French name derived from a Arabic word.
Mr Farage's ancestry is in part French Huguenot and for about 4 generations ago German, so he is very much the product of refugees being welcomed and accepted into this country

i doubt they've invested any money other than printing the labels. it would be a run of a few hundred bottles which they would have called something else if someone hadn't had this dumb idea.
And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Gin originated in about the 11th or 12th century and was first distilled by monks in foreign part, particularly southern Italy and the Netherlands. We of course drunk it in bucketloads in the 18th century and also turned it into 'Mother's Ruin' - a means of bringing about the termination of a pregnancy.
So it's very much a metaphor for the alt-right's unfailing ability to take something decent and quickly ruin it.
