The ad, which mocks his politically anti-Europe opinion, includes lines from Farage, such as, "I’m Nigel Farage and I love Europe. No I really do. The wine, the food, the excellent transport system, the clogs".

Speaking about the ad on Twitter, Nigel Farage said he hoped people would "find it fun".
Mischief PR seeded the ad.
