My opinion of Farage and his politics are I think pretty well known, BUT this shows how silly things are getting these days, I hate to use the phrase 'the worlds gone mad' but sometimes you have to wonder. What a waste of police resources, Even Farage is not stupid enough to seriously suggest that Civil servants should be attacked with knives..... www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49865706Police say they are investigating comments made by Nigel Farage after he said "we'll take the knife" to civil servants in Whitehall after Brexit.
The Brexit Party leader talked about "overpaid pen pushers... not doing a neutral job" in a speech to supporters in Newport on 21 September.

The question is, were these complaints from people who genuinely do not understand figures of speech, or people who simply pretend they don't?

Mr Farage added: "I suggest we listen to them and not the overpaid pen pushers in Whitehall who are not doing a neutral job. And once Brexit's done, we'll take the knife to them."
Suggests to me that he'll 'take them to task'.
Well, perhaps he means they'll be given the sack, will get tossed into the streets of London where they'll get stabbed by illegal immigrants / 'aspiring architects' / those let out of Bulgarian prisons.
Run to Islington! Only they have locked their doors and left you out in the cold.

I suppose one could invoke the 'freudian slip' argument but either way it remains a complete waste of police time.

Yes it is, but fortunately it seems Gwent Police, have at least one officer who can recognise that this is a complete waste of time, and has therefore kicked the investigation into touch.
