To the surprise of literally nobody, Nigel Farage defended Boris Johnson calling gay men 'bum boys'
The Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage defended British prime minister Boris Johnson’s use of homophobic, racist, sexist and Islamophobic terms during a radio interview today.
During a question and answer segment on BBC Radio Five Live this morning, the lawmaker excused comments made by Johnson during his stint as a journalist in the 90s and 00s.
The Conservative leader’s journalistic career has been caught in the firing range from activists during the upcoming general election, but despite several opportunities to apologise, Johnson has repeatedly veered away.
Farage, 55, insisted that the use of terms such as “tank-topped bum boys” is simply part of the ‘Boris Brand’.
Boris Johnson used homophobic terms as he’s a ‘very outspoken journalist’, Nigel Farage says.
