"My mind is actually changing on this. What is for certain is that the Cleggs, the Blairs, the Adonises, will never ever ever give up. They will go on whinging and whining and moaning all the way through this process. So maybe - just maybe - I’m reaching the point of thinking that we should have a second referendum on EU membership...because we’d kill it off for a generation."
Exactly, what the fuck indeed. Just to confirm that we weren't all collectively falling victim to some Black Mirror-style mindfuck at the hands of Matthew Wright (never trust anyone who always looks like they're on the verge of sneezing without ever doing so), Farage reiterated his sophistic suggestion for a second Ref via his Twitter account: https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/951400764697653248 But, why exactly? What is Farage playing at with this counter-intuitive potentially self-jeopardising strange and usual fuckwittery? If you're anything like us, these questions and more are currently swirling around your pretty little remain/leave heads. To help solve the mystery of Captain Brexit suddenly warming to a very possible Remain iceberg, we've come up with a few of the most likely explanations...EXCLUSIVE - Nigel Farage says "just maybe I’m reaching the point of thinking that we should have a second referendum on EU membership".@Nigel_Farage | @Matthew_Wright | #wrightstuff pic.twitter.com/T0fROToskr

Secondly, you just said it dummy. The 'remoaners' will "never ever ever give up." If you truly believe that the complaints counter to your argument will continue no matter what, why offer up a solution that is slap bang in the middle of what? Have you been on Twitter recently? Have you paid any attention during all those Question Time appearances?
No one holds their hands up and accepts defeat. Ever. You know that. You know a second referendum won't shut anyone up. Funny thing is, you don't seem particularly eager to accept victory either, so...
Some suggested that his intermittent appearances on Fox News could eventually lead to a permanent gig. That looked like a real goer, until the 'news' station quickly distanced itself from the views of both Farage and Katie Hopkins on what sounded like Muslim concentration camps. Fair play though - it takes some going for Fox to consider you too right-wing and Mussy-hating.
As for Farage himself, he had far loftier ambitions. As well as selling the idea of Brexit (with a liberal smattering of xenophobia) to the Great British public, he spent most of 2016 ensuring that Republican nominee Donald Trump had the cleanest arsehole in Christendom. When Trump was subsequently elected President, Nigel must have thought all that metaphorical rimming had paid off.
Indeed, the Donald duly pushed for Farage to be appointed the UK's Ambassador to the US. Alas, he didn't get his wish and quickly lost interest in his tongue-tired tush tickler. Since then, poor Nige has admitted that he's "53, separated and skint", and certainly can't afford to give up his EU pension. Maybe, like the rest of us, he can't afford the devasting financial ramifications of Brexit, and realises Gob-like that he's made a huge tiny mistake.
