The claim that Nigel Farage had not given up all his hobbies as of December 2011 is well-supported by multiple BBC profiles and articles. A 2006 BBC profile listed his hobbies as "Fishing, military history, traditional pubs." A 2015 BBC profile (covering his career timeline) lists "Shore fishing, WW1 battlefield tours, Dad's Army, cricket, red wine" as pastimes. A BBC article describes Farage going shore fishing at night on the Kent coast while serving as UKIP leader, and touring WWI battlefields with friends ("Farage's Foragers") — activities he had pursued for over 30 years. Another BBC profile notes his love of cricket, Dad's Army, and WWI battlefield tours. All of these sources indicate that Farage maintained hobbies throughout his time as a politician, confirming the claim.
