The internet hasn’t exactly been won over by the eye-catching development, however…
Here are the gifs that summarize the five leading reactions among Twitter users to Farage’s new mustache.
1. It's patently a foolish attempt to NOT look like Nigel Farage

2. It makes Farage look like a pantomime villain
I've seen enough Star Trek to know that THIS Farage comes from an alternate, evil, Universe... pic.twitter.com/BdBGTg61b7

I see Farage's transition to villain in a Victorian melodrama is almost complete. Next comes the top hat and monocle.

4. It's frankly very upsetting for other guys with facial hair
BREAKING: Nigel Farage has a moustache. 77,482 hipsters just shaved theirs off in the last hour.

On behalf of all people with facial hair; I'd like to complain about Farage's moustache.

5. It's just... not quite right
Nigel Farage's moustache is a lot longer than I was expecting it to be

Nigel Farage's new moustache is a few inches wider than I would have expected.
