LONDON, United Kingdom – Standing outside the Westminster Arms pub following Nigel Farage and Douglas Carswell’s seismic announcement over the Tory MP’s defection away from the Conservative Party and to UKIP, the leader of UKIP was mobbed by admirers, including one taxi driver who Breitbart London caught on camera.

“Your policies are our policies,” he told Farage, talking about the feelings that the average working man, which London cabbies are well known to represent, have towards the UK Independence Party.

“No one else has the balls to say it,” he went on, complimenting the UKIP leader on his brave takedown of the Westminster establishment, and Douglas Carswell’s latest defection.

After the camera’s stopped rolling, he told Mr. Farage that he didn’t approve of the chain smoking that the UKIP leader is well known for, but did approve of the glass of celebratory champagne that had been bought for him.

“Just make it pink, next time!” he said.
