They come in pairs.

Morecambe & Wise, The Chuckle Brothers, Abbot & Costello, Mike & Bernie Winters, Cam & Cleggy, Milibean & Milibean; the list of comedic duos goes on and on. But, hold on, there’s a new pair of comedy types on the block! Yep, ladies and gentleman, may I introduce you to the new mirth inducing fascist-funsters, “Nick ‘n Nige”! Every time I turn on the TV I seem to catch sight of those lovable rougues, Farage and Griffin. They’re bloody everywhere! With their side splitting hatred, poorly thought out bile and deep desire to attack anyone who doesn’t fit in with their ridiculous rantings. I imagine them in bed together of an evening like Eric and Ernie, bickering like an old married couple as they ponder where the next (imagined) threat will come from. Were we not supposed to be completely overrun by Bulgarians now? Or was it Romanians? Can’t quite remember. Unlike the best comedy twosomes however, this pair of clowns don’t appear to follow the “straight man / funny man” historical example. I can’t decide who is the funnier, the utterly ridiculous Griffin and his gang of lager swilling, football hooly, tattooed skinheads or Grinner-Farage with his home county tweed jacketed retired Major nonsense. Hopefully the polls will send these two back to the seventies comedy graveyard where they can peddle their hatred without bothering the rest of us.
