Disruption is often needed to change things for the better, Nigel thinks things haven’t been disrupted nearly enough in the world yet. It is plain for all to see that there are a lot of differing and polarising views on coronavirus. Nigel Farage thinks governments haven’t been honest enough from the start and it’s something we can learn to live with going forward. He is not prepared for his liberties to be taken away from him again so will not obey any further lockdowns. There is a big difference of mindset between a corporate business and the entrepreneur. The government may understand big business somewhat but they certainly don’t have a clue about small businesses and entrepreneurs. Nigel’s experience of working with the political class has shown him that there is a massive disconnect between the UK government and businesses. It was inevitable that Brexit was going to cause massive changes, there was always going to be winners and losers. However, Nigel thinks there are countless upsides to small business owners and entrepreneurs that the government still hasn’t utilised. Tax and Welfare need reforming drastically. Past governments have de-skilled the British population and have also turned what should be a safety net, into a very large welfare state. It has changed young people’s mindsets and there is a lack of aspiration among the younger generations especially. Nigel would love to run for Prime Minister but with the current UK system this is just not possible. He thinks that the UK political system needs a complete overhaul and bringing into the 21st century, starting with removing the first past to post system and the house of lords. Nigel believes that Boris Johnson has a very clever act and it has got him very far in his political career. However, he thinks the mood of the public after many lies and most recently, the revealing of all of the covid parties in government, will very likely be the end to it. The de-platforming and silencing of conservative voices across social media platforms is worrying to Nigel. He thinks it’s the medias way of trying to gain back control.   BEST MOMENTS   “You’re not doing it because you’re trying to cheese everyone else off, you’re doing it actually because you think the status quo as it is needs shaking up” “Not one of them has ever worked in a small business, not one of them has ever set one up” “There is a complete disconnect with the world of entrepreneurship, of the world of business” “I’m an old style free-marketer, I believe in a safety net for those that can’t look after themselves, of course I do” “Our democracy needs to be brought into the 21st century” “There is a limit to free speech, there always has been, but I think the limit on conservative voices is bad” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

The point about disruption, you're not doing it just to cheese everybody off,

0:03.5

you're doing it actually because you think the status quo, as it is, needs shaking up.

0:09.4

Welcome to Disruptors. So, last week, we were the disruptive entrepreneur, and now 800 episodes in,

0:17.2

we are now Disruptors. And I think we've got one of our most disruptive, yes.

0:25.2

And Nigel Farage, thanks for joining the show. Thank you.

0:28.1

Yes, I'm a Disruptor. In fact, I was without doubt the most disruptive person

0:32.2

that has ever been in the European Parliament in the history of its existence, and they just couldn't

0:36.9

cope with me. But I wasn't doing it just for the hell of it. The point about disruption,

0:42.0

whether it's economic disruption, whether it's social disruption, or in my case political

0:45.7

disruption, you're not doing it just to cheese everybody off. You're doing it actually because

0:50.1

you think the status quo, as it is, needs shaking up, needs breaking up because you believe some

0:55.1

it better can come along. And I often think this word, Disruptor, it's kind of used in a sort of

1:01.2

pejorative term, you know, Donald Trump was a Disruptor. That means he must be a bad guy,

1:07.1

and somehow the status quo is always good. And I think the so much about our country today, so much

1:12.7

that is good, but so much that I think a lot more disruptions needed in this country, you know,

1:18.1

politically, socially, the rich get richer, people have rich salaries. It so much needs to change.

1:24.3

So yeah, you know, I tell you what, rebranding it the way you have, let's give the word Disruptor

1:29.4

a good name. Amen. Thank you. So I think we could go on for about a week and we've got a hard

1:35.2

stop. So what we're trying to do on this show is do things a little bit differently. So we often

1:39.9

have little themes or chapters or sections. So we've got three sections to this, politics,

1:45.3

platforms and people with a little bit of a bonus Nigel session at the end. Oh gosh.

1:50.4

Oh yeah. So I understand Nigel that you've been quite open about saying you won't obey
