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.

Who are the 'you' to whom you refer?

Show quote history

I think they mean me and anyone who isn’t specifically far rightist. So anyone from the soft right to the centre to the liberal to the left is apparently a lefty. I’m sure Heseltine, Clegg, Howe and Badenoch would be astonished to be called lefties but I’m betting they all loathe Farage.

Very cute that you like to bully posters into thinking like you. Not happening.

Show quote history

It's a trait of Farage/Reform supporters that they see debate and the assertion of alternative views as bullying.

Sometimes it's just to show their team won the football?

Show quote history

Grok seems to think this is a bigger issue - the rioters were;

Mostly French citizens of North African and Sub-Saharan African immigrant origin from the banlieues...
Integration failures and weak enforcement are the core issue.

Presumably that is why your BBC link has a quote from Marine Le Pen.

Oh I absolutely believe he does. Largely because he actually said it. No one who proudly states they’re sexist and that women shouldn’t drive really thinks they deserve the same rights as men.

He also agreed with a social media post that said they would like to lick Carol Vorderman’s arsehole. ‘He’s only saying what we’re all thinking ‘.

That’s the calibre of candidate you’re championing.

😆 🤣 😂 😹 you really believe every politician is squeaky clean if they are on your side of the fence. Centrist my eye. Enjoy the Con Reform next government because you're nicely helping it along.

I've noticed using the Advanced Search that you only exist on MN to criticise the left.

You put a lot of emphasis on your 'doubt' over actual evidence.

Must have to think that way to sing Farage and Reform's praises.

The Green party actively put up a Jewish candidate to mask its anti-semitism agenda, which is in its infancy. As usual, Reform have got you running scared and the plumber will shock quite a few people.

This is the kind of message those seeking to undermine the democratic system and process churn out.

Slippery: can't answer a straight question
Self serving: conveyorbelt of politicians engulfed in sleeze
Power hungry: throw eachother under the bus to get up the ladder
Liars: u-turns on manifestos.

I'm 43 and seen numerous governments come and go and they have all encountered the above.

Ah, yes;

He told the Sunday Times in 2023 that "for 99.9% of women, it is completely biological ... and of course they haven't got a penis".

Later that year his position had changed - he told BBC radio: "Firstly, a woman is an adult female, so let's clear that up."

Kemi Badenoch seemed pretty much in disagreement with Farage on this subject in parliament yesterday.

Show quote history

Yes but as usual, she showed a balance. That still doesn't mean she thinks there isn't a problem with race per se, shaping policing. She does acknowledge that Farage is an MP like the others but that requires intelligent articulation, not name calling.
