Memes hit UK far-right party leader after he ‘un-resigns’

After Nigel Farage “un-resigned” from his position as leader of UK’s far-right United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) on Monday, social media users unleashed satirical memes, poking fun at his comeback.

 

On Friday, Farage announced his decision to step down after losing the election for Thanet South’s seat in parliament to conservative candidate Craig Mackinlay. But UKIP chairman Steve Crowther said the party’s national executive committee rejected Farage’s resignation and persuaded him to stay.

 

Using #FarageUnresigns, internet users mocked Farage’s decision reversal using a host of pop culture references.
