Taxes optional but greatly appreciated

Aka Magwitch.

That took my mind back

"My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media."

He’d have actually been better to say ‘look, I was a racist little scrote but I’ve changed’. At least that sounds like he’s not racist now and accepts what he said was wrong. But of course he is, and he doesn’t, so that wouldn’t occur to him.

Piers Morgan on newsnight, proving yet again what an absolute tool he is.

Such an absolute fuckwit.

😆

I'm getting a lot of grief on Facebook for saying that Farage was a racist then and he's a racist now. He got very tetchy in that interview and tried to bully the journalist. The affable veneer is very fragile.

Farage Mocked After Giving Bizarre Reason For Not Investigating Reform Russia Claims

"I haven't got a police force".

Ooh, he's blinking a lot in that clip, very noticeable.

Why doesn't he ask the Electoral Commission to investigate?

He could ask his donors................

You're right about them threatening to sue this Welsh publication - and also the Guardian too

Reform’s ‘Trumpian’ legal threats hint at more aggressive approach to media

Reform’s ‘Trumpian’ legal threats hint at more aggressive approach to media | Reform UK | The Guardian

Thanks! That is a good article.

"A Reform spokesperson told reporters in Westminster that the story was denied. “It’s one person’s word against another,” they said. Asked whether the party would sue the Guardian, he responded: “Not at this stage." "

🤔

Wasn’t it about half a dozen people’s words?

Guardian says 'about 20 people' this morning

Proving damage to his reputation might be tricky too

Farage really has a nerve...I can only see the headline, but that's enough.

Who would crowdfund a new Reform version of "Just a Minute", where you have to speak for 60 seconds on a given topic without hesitation, deviation, repetition or immigration ?

If the BBC were any use they'd already be running it.

Family, community, country

Leaves an echo

Probably sounds better in German.

Or French

That the one they’ve put on their new blackshirts. Sorry, I mean shirts which happen to be black.

This is in a statement from one of his Jewish victims

''He said: “The easiest thing for him [farage] to have said when these allegations first came up would have been: ‘Yes, I did say some extraordinarily upsetting things to people that were racist. And I unreservedly apologise to them for that. But I can assure them and the general public that this has nothing to do with my politics today.’ He’s never said that''

That’s the excuse normal people would have given. Even racists. I am a racist but only for fun is the strangest excuse ever.

Why shouldn't Farage fear a taste of what he's directed at people ?

Like most bullies he is a massive coward.

Has he said "It was a different time" yet ?

Because I can assure you Nigel, it fucking wasn't. I was marching against cunts like you in the 80s.

On the march with Farage's army
