The Farages of this world are nothing new. Here's a painting from 1920 by Otto Plattner. It shows Death confronting a demagogue by shoving all his hate-filled speeches back down his lying throat.💥 I've added the original German text and a translation beneath the painting.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.
