A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
The article draws a satirical comparison between the 1970s TV show 'The Six Million Dollar Man' and Nigel Farage, the British politician. It uses the pop culture reference to frame Farage as a political figure who has been rebuilt or reinvented at great cost, though the content appears to be cut off mid-sentence. The article likely explores Farage's political career, his role in Brexit, and his controversial public persona through the lens of this bionic man analogy.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledBack in the 1970s 'The Six Million Dollar Man' was an extraordinarily popular TV science fiction series, about an astronaut - Steve Austin - who crashes in a test flight and is rebuilt at considerable cost with 'bionic' limbs that give him the ability to perform superhuman feats.
The show made a star of Lee Majors, who got 99 episodes and six TV movies out of the role. He also got to marry Farrah Fawcett.
As it happens, British politics has its own 'six-million-dollar man' - Nigel Farage.
