“He has thought a bit more about God since the 2010 plane crash.”
Reasoning & Evidence09 Jul 2026
This is a claim about Nigel Farage’s private mental state, which cannot be independently verified from public records. The interview transcript shows him saying, in 2011, that he had thought a bit more about God since the 6 May 2010 plane crash, and contemporaneous reporting confirms the crash happened on that date, but those sources only establish the event and his self-report—not the underlying change in thought. Sources: High Profiles interview with Nigel Farage ((highprofiles.info)); The Independent report on the 2010 aircraft crash ((independent.co.uk)).
From article
Well… I did get confirmed when I was 13 – that was a voluntary thing – but I think by the time I was 18 I was pretty much a non-believer.
I think – funny, isn’t it? – that belief is one of those things that can wax and wane during your life. I have thought a bit more about God since the [plane crash in 2010].4On 6 May 2010, he was a passenger in a two-seater aircraft that was towing a Ukip banner. He and the pilot were badly injured when it crashed in a field. A bit more. A bit more.
