Sometimes insights about life come from the most unexpected sources, and thus, surprisingly, Nigel Farage has illuminated a point about priestly celibacy.
In speaking on television to Piers Morgan about his life, Mr Farage has suggested that his marriages have failed essentially because he was continually obsessed with politics and with advancing the cause of Ukip.
This “calling”, as he describes it, to serve his political vocation dominated his life, and made him “difficult” as a husband. He is currently living apart from his second wife, the German-born Kirsten Mehr, and sharing a house (in what he describes as a “working relationship”) with a young Frenchwoman, Laure Ferrari, who runs a political think tank, Direct Democracy for Europe.
