Reform UK leader Nigel Farage spoke to a packed room at CPAC, one of America’s biggest right-wing events, and caused quite the reaction when he brought up Prince Harry

Nigel Farage whipped a crowd up into booing Prince Harry at a US Donald Trump fan conference.

The Reform UK leader spoke to a packed room at CPAC, one of America’s biggest right-wing events – and complained about being silenced by the establishment.

“In my country,” he fumed, “you can’t say anything because you might get thrown in prison […] We’re getting poorer, everyone’s miserable, we’re governed by an awful left-wing government.”

And he gushed over his pal Donald Trump. “Suddenly, post-November 5th America is optimistic. It’s upbeat. It’s the beginning of a golden age in America,” he said. “And it is all because of one totally extraordinary individual.”

He said the “establishment” had “made my life hell” when he pushed for Brexit. “But that was nothing compared to what they put Donald J Trump through.”

Closing his speech, he spoke of the cultural exchange between the UK and the US – and whipped the crowd into a loud reaction at the mention of Prince Harry. “We very often follow you. American trends we tend to follow. You occasionally follow some of our trends. I mean, you gave us woke. We gave you Prince Harry.”

As the crowd started to boo, Mr Farage encouraged them. “No, you keep him. You keep him,” he laughed.

Mr Farage went on to repeat the conspiracy theory that Britain has “two tier” policing. The idea gained traction following the riots that followed the Southport stabbings – when right-wing thugs caused chaos in the streets and tried to burn down a hotel housing asylum seekers.

“We’ve had enough of free speech being cracked down on,” Farage said. “Two-tier justice. Different groups of people being treated differently by the law.

“We’ve had enough of being told ‘you can’t say that.’ To hell with it. Within the limits of free speech we should be allowed to say whatever the hell we want. And we will. And we will.”
