Brexit Referendum Day

Sorry to drag this one back up, but I found this to be hilarious, but didn't want to make it a thread of its own.

Farage 'sighted' at German embassy, London

A reported sighting of top Brexit advocate Nigel Farage queuing at Germany's embassy in London has triggered media scrutiny. The US portal "BuzzFeed" says Farage hung up when asked if he was seeking German citizenship.

Britain's "Spectator" and "BuzzFeed" both quoted a Facebook post that Farage was sighted in a queue at the German embassy on Monday, standing alongside other people who were hoping to secure dual-citizenship before Britain formally applies to leave the EU.

Farage was a leading "Leave" advocate who hotly opposed inward migration prior to Britain's narrow referendum decision on 23 June to quit the European Union.

The former UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader, who quit abruptly as its chairman after the referendum, has been married since 1999 to a German, Kirsten Mehr.

According to the German biographical encyclopedia "Munzinger," she has worked as assistant in his Brussels bureau. Farage, himself, entered the European Parliament in 1999 as a vocal euro-skeptic.

"BuzzFeed" said Tuesday its phone call to Farage about the embassy sighting drew a taciturn response.

Asked whether he was queuing to apply for German citizenship, Farage had replied "none of your business" and then "hung up," "BuzzFeed" said.
