Nigel Farage has reported the 1979 new wave band XTC to the Metropolitan Police after discovering that Making Plans for Nigel contains his first name.
Farage said the song had “clearly been lying dormant as a sleeper cell for nearly fifty years” before being activated by his recent social media activity.
“They always deny it,” he explained. “First it’s an innocent pop song. Next thing you know, it’s awaiting instructions.”
Counter-terrorism officers are now examining XTC’s back catalogue for other suspected sleeper cells. Generals and Majors is being investigated for military subversion, while Senses Working Overtime is believed to contain coded messages that can only be unlocked by playing it backwards.
The surviving members of XTC insist the song was written in 1979 about a completely different Nigel.
Reform sources described that as “exactly the sort of cover story you’d establish if you were planning a fifty-year deep-state, establishment operation.”
