Farage says the internet means governments “simply can’t lie to us any more in the way they used to.”
He says “nobody has made better use on the internet” than he did, adding “Trump has done exactly the same thing.”
Farage told an international broadcast news industry conference on Wednesday his right-wing UK Independence Party “would never, ever” had gotten “off the ground” and UKIP wouldn’t “have been any more than a little fringe party had it not been for YouTube.”
