Oh look, there he is, lending his support to hunting. What a 'hunt' indeed.

The BLM movement is controversial. It's not just about being anti racist, it's got political undertones. Describing those who defend it as 'anti racist' is topical. I don't really want to go into the history of slavery here as it's a bit off topic, but that poster held below is quite negative and aggressive. It doesn't look like a peaceful anti racist protest, it looks pretty inflammatory. He's not criticising anti racism, he's criticising BLM.

''But Mr Farage , former leader of the Brexit Party, described the scenes as “terrifying,” likening protesters to a “paramilitary-like force.”

“This is what the BLM movement wanted from the start and it will divide our society like never before,” he said on social media. ''

That's not really a 'slur'. He's not commenting on a group of black people walking peacefully and saying they're terrifying, he's commenting on scenes like the one below.

First point fair enough :) Third point nah white Irish aren’t a separate race from white British. Kind of off topic tho
As for the far right groups, all I can find are reports of groups that don’t share the accepted lefty view branded as ‘far right’? Examples below being a Donald Trump group that’s called racist for no apparent reason, its manifesto focuses on free speech, and an anti vaccine group that’s called conspiracist. It’s all so hyperbolic

UKIP is also not an ‘extreme right wing party


And Fred West was a nice chap all things considered.

It was a thread of posts which originated from your original comment that he was the opposition which seemed to be based on your argument that he gets lots of press attention. I don’t agree with that.

Like it or not, the conservatives are the opposition, that’s how the HoC works, Reforms 5 MPs don’t make Farage the leader of the opposition.

Nigel Farage isn’t interested in representing his constituents, i.e.his actual job as an MP, he’s just interested in finding anything he can undermine the government and also in lining his own pockets which he does by throwing out soundbites and downright lies.
That’s only your opinion there’s many see Starmer as exactly the same I haven’t seen any great strides .

Tories created the low wage economy.
Blair created a false economy reliant on cheap foreign labour.

Oh dear - the irony.

It's odd to continually defend someone who has said that Enoch Powell is their political hero and backs the "basic principle" of their rivers of blood speech, has commented that they wouldn't like to live next to a house of Romanians, has said that parts of the UK are like a foreign land and feels uncomfortable hearing people speaking in foreign languages whilst on a train in south London.
The basic principle of the speech is just about uncontrolled immigration and defending your country and culture ://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rivers_of_Blood_speech which is why he was careful to say he backs the BASIC PRINCIPLE and nothing that leans towards actual racism.
---
The Romanians comment was about a group of blokes whatever their culture which just doesn’t happen with English blokes, but it does with migrant housing as this YouTube comment explains
And the other languages comment was saying about NO English being heard which is pretty shocking tbh, not about other languages being spoken 😂 so that’s just not accurate

this is his whole policy design, say something controversial, not remotely precedented or legal, but plays to his base who wont question the logistics. That are incredibly expensive. The magic money tree returneth!

He's doing this because there are a few new policy announcements and practices in this area and he doesn't want to seem behind the curve

I feel like your reward should be something Nigel related - yellow corduroy trousers, milkshake, one way trip to Clacton? Any of these tickle your fancy?
the words “Nigel” and “tickle your fancy” should never, ever appear in the same paragraph ever again 😁

“We all know” nothing of the kind. How many Reform voters have you personally talked to?
I know a couple I speak to at my local pub. When they've had a few they spout off about "being taken over by people coming over on boats." I offered one time to stand outside with them while they point out the people who are supposedly taking us over but they refused.
