On the sets of adult movies, there used to be a class of employee belonging to the makeup department, called a fluffer.
The job of the fluffer was to ensure that the male star’s member was fully erect before shooting started. It saved time, and ensured that the male performer was good to go as soon as the cameras began to roll. How the fluffer did this was very much up to the conscience of the individual fluffer, but I’m sure you can imagine.
Fluffers are not much used anymore—not in adult films, anyway.
Instead, fluffers have moved from adult entertainment to the world of what you might call ‘newstainment’.
Nigel Farage is a fluffer.
His job is not to tell the truth, but to stroke his viewers’ opinions in such a way that their generally unfocused sense of grievance rears up, turgid and stiff, so that they can wave it about in public as if it were something to be proud of.
Truth ain’t nothing to do with it.
Nigel Farage just wants to get your blood flowing.
And he was very good at it, wasn’t he? Because you’re dancing to his tune right now.
