Can't decide whether I want this to be true or not. I mean, obviously I don't want Farage in my country: we've got our own blustery bigots, you can keep yours, Britain. But there's no danger of him actually getting German citizenship - married to a German or not, he'd have to prove several years of residency -, and the utter shamelessness of applying for it in order to keep the benefits of being an EU member after doing his best to ruin it for the rest of Britain makes for a good narrative. Also, I have fun imagining him trapped in endless bureaucracy, with every civil servant on whose desk his application for citizenship lands taking a special pleasure in flinging yet more red tape at Farage.
