Female survivors of grooming gangs demand apology from Nigel Farage

Exclusive: Five women said Reform leader’s comments that they were victims of other types of sexual abuse were ‘degrading’

So much for his caring about the victims shtick

There is a poster on MN who regularly pushes the notion of a civil war. It is a bot* worrying.

*Typo, but it seems rather apt. 😁

A civil war between whom ?

Never specified.

Yes, there is no clear issue that can create the 50ish/50ish split that moves from oppression into civil war.

I've posted that on the other love in of Reform thread. Let's honestly see if they support all women and believe them.

No alarms and no surprises. He obviously feels neglected.

Somehow it will all come tumbling down. Yes it will.

Evenstar · 29/10/2025 19:20

@placemats I really hope so, when you watch the disaster that is unfolding across the Atlantic 😬

Yet another anti-immigration thread has popped up.

Something about migrants murdering people so they can go to prison. I don't quite follow the logic, but it is just another thinly disguised hate thread.

This is good news, isn't it?

PVV, Geert Wilders being the big losers is the best news if these polls hold.

I can't believe that Labour's front bench abstained on Farright's bill to leave the ECHR, leaving the Lib Dems to defeat it. What kind of look do they think that gives them?

PandoraSocks · 29/10/2025 21:25

Starmer- 2p or not 2p

Maybe it was an attempt to highlight how irrelevant the whole thing was? 10 minute bills are pretty meaningless and mostly have little use other than to foster a debate.

As I said, eye opening.

What do you think about Farage's comment?
