To think Nigel Farage should be locked up?

He was inciting violence with his “address to the nation” speech, calling for rage.

Meanwhile, he doesn’t care when women are actually murdered by the police

Surely enough is enough and they need to take action?

Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) on X

We must not allow the tragic murder of a young woman turn into attacks on men and attacks on the police.

Yes, thanks. I just wanted to show that when emotions run high, even when your team has gloriously won again, then riots can develop. Farage wanted to accentuate and flag-up a rightly held emotion and use if for the wrong actions.

You chose an unfortunate example I think;

Former European commissioner Thierry Breton blamed the French Government, which he said had set a bad example and had not kept its promises to immigrant youths. Breton said it was for France to teach them “the love of our country”.

Reconquête leader Éric Zemmour said the violence had nothing to do with football. “They are the first symptoms of a civilisational guerrilla war. We need a major remigration policy to bring peace back to France,” he said.

Good to know. Let's hope it stays that way. I take it we have concluded our discussion.

Oh you think anyone who responds to your posts is harassing you?

That’s hilarious. As thin skinned and bullying as Trump and Farage,

But yes I’m happy to end here (bet you won’t be able to resist harassing me replying to my posts).

So you admit that not everyone who loathes Farage is in the left yet still call them all lefty. Why is that?

Left or Right- if you loathe Farage you're on the right side of history. Up until Cameron and the fiasco of Brexit I'd always voted Conservative. You'd never call me a lefty and I despise everything Reform stand for. Weirdly if you're decent and have an education you're far left according to the Farage cult!

Genuine question.

Are there rules around A/S usage?

Are you harassing me? I've already had one unsolicited PM from somebody who didn't get an answer from me on their repetive posts to me.

Well Rupert Lowe doesn't think much of Farage and his policies and I don't think he can be though of as being on the left.

They had a clash of egos. Both have the same aspirations for the country and need to out those aside.

As is your BS that you're not on the left. It's only that political persuasion who lose it over Farage.

Well I suppose anyone who poses a threat to one's own entry to power would feel like that. Burnham and Streeting being prize examples of the typical behavioural patterns of power hungry MPs.

It's interesting to me.

Well A/S away if that’s your thing but it’s unduly personal to use that on a thread. Everyone has a political position and it usually doesn’t change.

I know perfectly well political centrism exists. I also know many posters are shit scared to say they support Reform because of pile ons. That is a very worrying state of affairs because democracy applies across the political spectrum. I've yet to see a centrist not get it in quickly enough they don't like Farage.

If you know it exists then why call everyone who loathes Farage lefty?

How do you know people are scared to say they support Reform. I think the opposite. I think like Brexiteers and MAGA it makes them feel powerful.

I see Reformers all over the internet banging on incessantly so I don’t think democracy is quite at risk yet. Maybe not until they potentially got into power then I would be seriously concerned as I am about the US.

Oh change the bloody record. The uneducated claptrap has been done to death.

It's been done to death because it's factual. You can see all the mouth breathers whenever Tommy Robinson organises a march.

It’s not. No one changes political allegiance over posts, unless they suddenly get too pissed off with Starmer for example, but mostly people post consistently. The pp is no different. She has an opinion like anyone else.

It's interesting to me.

Not so. The Tories can't stand him and nor can Rupert Lowe.

There are many Reform supporters but they go to another school.

No but then I'm not offended by it because I'm not Carol Vorderman. Are you?

You don’t have to be offended by something to find it unpleasant and that it speaks to your opinion about half of your prospective constituents. And the fact that Farage endorses him suggests he shares that opinion.
