"Nigel Farage, man of the people on an average of £27,550 per hour thinks youngsters on £10 per hour get paid too much?
He has stated he wants to reduce the minimum wage for younger people. As it stands now it’s only £10 per hour for 18-20 year olds and £7.55 for under 18’s!
Even after 21 it only rises to £12.21 but all these people earning so much money is just too much for Nigel, no matter they simply can’t afford to get on the housing market and rent is extortionate it’s too much of a burden on industry, for industry read corporations that rake in billions in profit per year!
But let’s have a close look at what Nigel himself earns:
His biggest payer is GB News at £1,200,000 per year for 32 hours work per month. That’s some £3,062 per hour! Add on too he pays this income through his business “Thorn in the Side” so he only has to pay 25% corporate taxes rather than the 40%+ in personal taxes.
Direct Bullion pays him £415,500 for pushing their product. He does a maximum of 4 hours per month as their brand ambassador putting him on £8,658 per hour.
Cameo: He has earned approximately £108,366 for the ludicrous personal messages he does, including one where he said “Up the RA” without knowing it was support for the IRA. Another he did for convicted paedophile Ian Watkinson where he said he “loved his children”. He has spent 199 hours doing this so that works out at £545 per hour.
Speaking: he has earned some £65,378 on speaking engagements but unsure of how many. As a benefit of the doubt if we say 5 at one hour each that’s £13,075 per hour.
Social media: He earns in the region of £37,080 but figures of how much time he spends doing it is unsure (or his social media teams doing on his behalf) so if we are generous and say 20 hours per month that puts him on £1,854 per hour
Daily Telegraph: he is paid £4,000 per month for 16 hours work. That’s £250 per hour.
Without his MP’s salary that puts him on £27,442 per hour.
Add on his MP’s salary of £93,904 and the fact he’s one of the most underperforming MP’s in parliament we will give him 10 hours work per week on this giving him £108 per hour.
So he thinks youngsters earning £10 per hour are getting too much while he rakes in (if I have my sums right) £27,550 per hour for the hours he actually works!
The housing market is almost an impossible dream for these youngsters but he’s sat on a £3.5 million property empire, possibly more likely a £4.5 million figure if the truth about how his Clacton house was paid with £900,000 cash ever comes out.
