One of the greatest radio moments of our era is making the rounds again

Reminders of the moment Nigel Farage was duped by a mischievous caller have been making the rounds on social media again.

Calling into the Brexit Party leader’s LBC show the man, who gave his name as Mark, started by thanking Mr Farage for his political work in recent times.

“I’m immensely grateful to you for everything you’ve done in British politics over the last few years,” Mark told Mr Farage, before explaining how he had switched sides on the Brexit debate.

“I used to be an ardent Remainer. I voted Remain, I believed in the European project, I believed that staying in the European Union was the best thing for us.”

As Mr Farage nodded along, Mark told him: “Then something monumental happened.”

Mr Farage, speaking on Tuesday night, then asked: “And what was that monumental thing, Mark?”

To which he responded: “I was kicked in the head by a horse.”
