UKIP: Nigel granted Freedom of City of London
From the official website:
On the day that the House of Commons debated a wages policy, UKIP Leader Nigel Farage was granted the Freedom of the City of London.
Following a ceremony at the Chamberlain's Court in the City's Guildhall, Nigel said: "I am delighted and honoured to have been inducted as a Freeman of the City of London. My father, grandfather have spent their working lives in the Square Mile, as did I for the first 15 years of mine. Now my sons are doing the same.
"The oath that I was required to swear calls upon me to, 'Maintain the Franchises and Customs (of the City), and will keep this City harmless'. I only wish that all members of Parliament would swear the same, or at very least anybody involved in setting Treasury, trade or European policy as it seems apparent that keeping the city 'harmless' is the least of their concerns.
"I would like to thank Murray Craig, the Chamberlain's Clerk for his kindness, good humour and efficiency in running the ceremony".

Congratulations, Nigel.
UKIP, Britain's fourth largest political party.
You can apply.It costs £30. You simply need to have confirmation by 2 people who are on the City Corporation and this is quite easy to do-why done we all apply.
"do-why done" indeed....
Is this a new language You've invented?
I gather he can now drive his sheep down the High Street and is entitled to a glass of porter in every ale house - I gather he's working on the second as I write!!
The point is why does UKIP print as news the fact that its leader received a title which you can acquire for £30 and a couple of -easily obtained -supporters.
Because it's a good news story regardless.
Not that EUKIP actually got much PR from this anyway but it certainly won't do anything to plan for our exit from the EU when it collapses.Originally Posted by Bob FM
Of course its main purpose, if you know the man behind the face Farage portrays, is that it keeps up NIgel's profile for his own selfish ends.
Anyone who still cannot see that hasn't been concentrating these last 20 odd years!!
