Nigel Farage: Young people on £10 an hour (minimum wage) are ‘overpaid’, insists man paid £3,000 an hour
Nigel Farage has today bravely taken a stand against the true parasites of Britain: nineteen-year-olds being paid the outrageous sum of ten pounds an hour to work in shops and cafés.
Farage, who is paid a humble £97,000 a month by GB News for around 32 hours of presenting, earning him roughly £3,000 an hour, explained that young people simply have it too easy. He delivered this message while sitting in a leather chair that smelled faintly of both old money and new hypocrisy.
“These kids are raking it in,” he announced. “Ten pounds an hour? At that age, I was working incredibly hard at absolutely nothing because the school holidays at Dulwich do not pay a stipend.”
He insisted that cutting the minimum wage for 18-to 20-year-olds would build character.
“Struggle builds resilience,” he explained. “Struggle is good. In my youth, I read a book about this one guy’s struggle, and it changed my life. There is no greater inspiration in life than wondering which meal of the day you will not be able to afford.”
When asked whether it might be slightly inconsistent for a man earning more per hour than some full-time young workers earn in two months to complain that they are overpaid, Farage responded that it was simply “basic economics”.
He then left in a hurry, possibly because hypocrisy becomes slippery when exposed to direct sunlight.
Supporters of Reform claimed the move is not cruel but “financially sensible.” They suggested that if young people want more money, they should just stop being young, gain decades of political connections and immediately sign a lucrative media contract after being elected to Parliament.
Meanwhile, a 19-year-old shop worker looked at her payslip and sighed. “I have just enough after rent for a sandwich from the yellow sticker section. But if Nigel says I am earning too much, I guess I had better update my lifestyle.”
Reform remains committed to hardworking people everywhere. Specifically, those who work on television.
