Farage’s racism

[CuriousKangaroo]

I haven’t yet seen a post about this story: Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays? | Nigel Farage | The Guardian

Farage no longer categorically denies these incidents, and is now trying to fudge things by saying he didn’t mean any harm and it was a long time ago - presumably because he knows it is true and realises that 20 separate people saying it means only the truly deluded wouldn’t believe he was a racist.

But what I am interested in is does this actually assist his election chances? We already know that many of his supporters are racists - does it actually work for him that this blatant racism from him shores up their support? Are they secretly (or perhaps not so secretly in some cases) pleased?

And what do those of you who are Reform supporters but believe yourself not be racist think? Does it make you change your mind about him or Reform?

Would all you sticking up for farage support Dianne Abbot in the same way if 20 people came forward to say she sang anti white songs at school and bullied amd targeted white kids.
No you'd crucify her. As she has been for much less.

The Remains of the Day

Absolutely nothing will happen to him and, assuming starmer isnt usurped by a labour mp, hes the next prime minister

Brace yourselves and prepare for mass cuts to public services and benefits, and for complete overt racism.

And a new Minister for Women

They are already selling black shirts

Tucker Carlson is now saying that white people are being targeted for disappearance by abortion, immigration, assistant suicide etc.

Too many are worried about the welfare of the global majority and their sob storries who have no care for you in return, as many women were with men calling themselves women and ignoring the threat to them/us now as the global minority.

Tucker Carlson is your news source?

What do you object to with his thoughts and observations on that issue? Have you heard him out to tell us what you disagree with?

I'm three years younger than Farage and went to a school near Dulwich college, regularly mixing with pupils there. It would have been really odd to be openly racist at the time and in that environment. It would have stood out.

Platforming white supremacist Nick Fuentes for a start

But they weren't even jokes that he was telling, just repeated racist insults. Nor was he a child - he was a teen.

Would you happily laugh away the suggestion that you needed to go to a gas chamber?

It certainly isn’t what school boys in the 1960s were saying. We were taught by men who’d just fought in a war to bring this kind of thing to an end. They wouldn’t have tolerated it for an instant.

Yes Ben gave us the horrible clips of Nick. I had no idea there were men like that in the USA.

I would be fascinated to hear your review on Tucker himself and what in particular you object to.

This thread is about Farage's racism, not Tucker Carlson's

I think they will go around ignoring anybody that says it's nonsense and encouraging any of their fellow travellers to confirm their agenda based story.

It's just ridiculous.

Just as we've seen with the BBC manufacturing fake news about the President of the United States, the Guardian will manufacture fake news to suit their 'stop Reform' agenda.

Even if it were true, shouldn't journalistic ethics prevent them muckraking the actions of a child?

They're firmly in the gutter with this story.

As an aside, I googled Jean-Pierre Lihou - he's an arrogant and somewhat bitter remainer/rejoiner who clearly hasn't forgiven Farage for Brexit. I've found him posting on a number of anti-Brexit Facebook groups: Leeds For Europe, European Movement, Best For Britain... Multiple posts about Farage as well, whom Lihou seems somewhat obsessed with.

And that makes the racism aimed at him acceptable?

"As an aside" means a comment or thought that is not part of the main topic of conversation, like a side note or a digression.

Why the need to mention it?

The BBC asked one of Farage's contemporaries if he had a political motive for speaking out at this time - Jean-Pierre Lihou clearly does.

I can't answer for whether this particular victim of Farage's racism is arrogant, other than him also being privately educated increasing the possibility of this being true. I don't blame him for being obsessed with his bully, with him having made such a success of his racism.
I have not forgiven Farage for Brexit either. Nor will I.

Good for him

And how any woman on here can defend Farage who fetes and admires the likes of Andrew Tate and Trump, the worst misogynists on the planet, God alone knows

Is having a politcal motive a migitating factor in racism?

Whar about the others?

One of the fun things about watching GB News is seeing posters who think it's a News channel regurgitating KGB news shite on here.😂

Farage is racist, he's antisemitic and he hates the UK, the wee Putin puppet that he is.

Has Lihou claimed to be a victim? I didn't think he had.
