A telling indictment of the prat which is Farage... The Ukip leader also expressed surprise that eBay had halted auctions for the Tower of London poppies - and admitted he wanted to use the website to buy one himself. All the 888,246 ceramic flowers used in the Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red installation have sold for £25 each through Historic Royal Palaces, which runs the Tower, with the proceeds going to service charities. The internet auction site has cancelled any listings for the items following reports that one user had listed two of the poppies for sale, one at GBP49.99 and the other for GBP65. An eBay spokesman said: We are not permitting resale of the limited edition Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red ceramic poppies on eBay. But Mr Farage said: I was very surprised to hear that eBay had done that, because whatever you think, you may say its insensitive, but hang on - when people bought these poppies there was no commercial contract that said they couldnt sell them on. So Im rather surprised by this. I have a slight confession, I didnt get in in time to buy any, nearly everyone I work with has got some, but I said to the children dont worry, well buy them on eBay in a few weeks time. #cockwomble dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2825668/Farage-demands-lay-wreath-Cenotaph-blames-closed-shop-British-politics-snub.html
