To think Nigel Farage should be locked up?

If I want to call Farage an arsewipe, I’ll call him an arsewipe, it’s actually quite mild for what I actually want to call him.

FREEDOM OF SPEEEEECH! And all that …..

When Farage and his supporters stop making inflammatory statements that are clearly designed to whip up hatred and stoke division, then perhaps people might stop using inflammatory language to talk about them. But not before.

No ofc he shouldn't be locked up. I also saw the bbc apologised for making up something they said that he said.

Gloria, respectfully, I couldn’t care a jot what you think of my language. My hatred for that disgusting human being runs deep and I used some passionate, amplified language to express that.

I’m not a public figure who has spent my entire career hating, lying and manipulating masses of people to further myself. He has got nothing positive to offer anyone.

Guess what, Richard Tice is now on X complaining about Sainsbury’s selling 100% white eggs! (If anything you would think this would be very pleasing to him! 😂) but they have nothing but anger and hate. Anything they can complain about!!

'You bend over backwards to defend a party of Neo Nazis on every politics thread I see'

I've never defended neo nazis. Fixed that for you.

Just try less inflammatory language is all I'm saying.

Calling people fucking this, arsewipes, fucking that, hate mongers is indeed hateful. I'm not a NF fan but honestly calm down, have a cup of tea and share opinions without aggressive attacks on politicians.

I bet if NF called someone a hate mongering fucking arsewipe you'd soon complain.

I don't think it's inflammatory to suggest Farage is hate filled. I think he probably is. Right from boyhood he seems to have had issues with non white, non Christian people.
ETA I find that a problem in someone who wants to be PM.

You bend over backwards to defend a party of Neo Nazis on every politics thread I see 😂

You said ‘No one deserves hate and no one is a cancer on society’ respectfully, I disagree.

Funny how they seem to treat migrants like a cancer on society isn’t it? And benefit claimants, and disabled people. That’s all fine, is it?

You've no idea who I'm voting for. We aren't talking about the Nazis, we are talking about you using incredibly unpleasant language to describe someone and accusing them of being 'hate filled'.

Maybe try leading by example and have adult debate without inflammatory language hmm? Just a thought.

Always turn things around to play the victim, don’t they? Unless it’s their hateful speech about everybody else that’s different to them, then that’s fine 😂😂😂

@APintofBitterPleaseLandlord have you seen the statistics another poster has posted about arrests etc, I am not sure the two tier policing people are complaining about is as effective as they think it is.

Its her opinion, you said it was hate mongering, it wasn’t

The really scarey thing though, is that Farage is a one trick pony. It's all about immigration. If every single immigrant left the UK tomorrow, no-one's life in the UK would change one iota.

And that's all Reform have. Their manifesto is not worth the paper it's written on, their costings make Liz Truss look like John Stuart Mill. I'm in a Reform council area, God help me, and their leadership to date is primarily taking some flags down and putting other flags up. They've prevaricated over their election promises, in fact completely reneged on most of them. They seem to be waging war on anything that could be deemed 'liberal' in their eyes.

I think every single penny going into party funding (for all parties, not just Reform), should be subject to intense scrutiny, and would not be at all surprised to see money from US Christian Nationalists flooding into Reform's coffers. This is worrying. There will be some quid pro quo down the line.

What about the Nazis, Gloria? Did they deserve hate? Were they not a cancer on society? Because you’re voting for a very similar party who using near identical tactics to create anger and division, but of course you will disagree.

'She is giving her opinion, she isn’t asking anyone else to say bad things about him or calling for people to rise at dawn and attack him'

We can all give our opinions. It would seem ironic to call someone a fucking fascist hate filled arsewipe though. Bit hateful, no?

Who called for anyone to rise at dawn and go attack someone? I missed that.

No-one deserves hate. No one is a 'cancer' on society. I'm sorry for whatever you've endured but your attacks do not make you any different than those you criticise.

She is giving her opinion, she isn’t asking anyone else to say bad things about him or calling for people to rise at dawn and attack him.

I think Farage, Trump, Tommy Robinson, Netanyahu and Zak Polanski are cunts. Thats my opinion I’m not trying to make everyone else think the same

You still aren't getting it @Teanbiscuits33 but nevermind.

Of course Farage is seen as a threat. He’s a fucking fascist, grifting, hate mongering arsewipe of a man, and he’s a serious, serious threat to the very fabric of society. Unfortunately, a significant number of people can’t or won’t see that and will sleep walk into it. It’s frightening.

Wow, you really haven't done yourself any favours with this paragraph.

If you think Farage is all of that then you better hope that Labour deal with this two tier policing effectively (the eyes of the world are watching), install a strong leader and generally get their house in order. Otherwise at the next GE result will be the colour blue (shade to be confirmed).

Nigel deserves all the hate that comes his way. He levels enough of it at others. He and those who surround him are a cancer on society. Ditto Rupert Lowe.

'He’s a fucking fascist, grifting, hate mongering arsewipe of a man'

And that isn't hate mongering?! How very ironic to spit out such bile, waah'ing about someone else 'hate mongering'. Lefties always so very selective with their wanting to #BeKind

Say what you really think @Teanbiscuits33!

My point appears to have gone completely over your head. The point I was making is If you’re on Mumsnet or elsewhere actively endorsing Reform, then whether or not someone insults you isn’t going to make a blind bit of difference to your support, you supported them anyway.

If however, someone wasn’t going to vote Reform but decide to based on the fact they were called stupid for saying something remotely positive about Farage or whatever, then I’m afraid to say, they are exactly that - stupid. Politics should be about policies, not poor emotional regulation.

Of course Farage is seen as a threat. He’s a fucking fascist, grifting, hate mongering arsewipe of a man, and he’s a serious, serious threat to the very fabric of society. Unfortunately, a significant number of people can’t or won’t see that and will sleep walk into it. It’s frightening.

I think, to a certain extent, it did seem as if a lot of people came very quickly. The FOM could, and maybe should, have been phased in. Another of Blair's decisions.

Yes, we have freedom of speech. But we don’t have consequence free freedom of speech. Or the freedom to shout “FIRE!” In a crowded theatre. Which is kind of what Farage did.

Having friction-free access to a market of over 200 million people, as well as job opportunities for Brits bright enough and sufficiently motivated to learn a foreign language and have the curiosity to experience other cultures was a very good thing, and it was available to everyone.

Now as you say, it’s only available to elites with banking or top IT skills.
