Mixed reviews! UKIP Farage’s new book mercilessly trolled on Amazon

A war of words has broken out between UK Independence Party (UKIP) supporters and its detractors in the reviews section of Amazon.co.uk over Nigel Farage’s new autobiography, Purple Revolution.

Published on Tuesday, the book has received a torrent of satirical reviews, with one customer saying they “will be sticking with Andrex [toilet paper] in the future.”

UKIP supports have hit back, with one claiming there’s an “internet conspiracy.”

Another Farage supporter attacked the “cheap ironic drivel” of “leftwits.”
