Farage’s racism

723 replies

CuriousKangaroo · 25/11/2025 09:03

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?

Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?

Reform UK’s leader refuses to answer questions about his abusive behaviour, claiming there’s ‘no evidence’. We talk to victims and witnesses

It certainly mattered to this country what Shamima Begum was like as a child didn't/ doesn't it?
I wonder why it is one rule for one, and one for another... couldn't possibly be skin colour could it?

Shamima Begum is the least of the UKs problems right now

Anti-German feeling alone was the societal norm post-war into the 70s early 80s - people were still living around visible bombsites and grieving for their relatives/friends - for some people it was as if we were still at war with Germany

Never heard any support for Hitler or the Nazi regime

Fascism isn't just about Hitler though, some upper class people would have fascist tendencies because they want a totalitarian state, so "their kind" in charge.

But this thread is specifically about Farage's pro-Hitler/antisemitic abuse of his fellow pupils not about wider pro-fascist idealogy in his social class

The pp was just highlighting about the upper classes and fascism, it was possible that a young man in a private school would be so far right that he was anti simetic because it was inbeded in them,

Apparently an 18 year old shouting go back to Africa and goosestepping doing Nazi salutes in the playground where 9 year old were playing is just kids behaving badly Hmm

FluffAndBrush · 26/11/2025 09:49

Have people looked up what fascism is? That Ferage and the English who vote Reform are accused of Fascism. I have some observations and comments.

The British Amy is tiny and there is no expansion going on with the English, the expansion and military building up isn't British.

Tucker who I linked earlier in context of the accusation about NAZIs has plans to come here and talk more, listen to him, do not make a future for yourself like Lord Darlington.

People claim there is a two tier system and it's not the English as the top caste of intersectionality, DEI(Exclusion, inequality and lack of a diverse indigenous self determining ruling class in their own country). The English are Boxer out of Orwells Animal farm and being made mugs out of like Lord Darlington in The remains of the day.

Military and the use of violence, which is seen as a tool to advance national goals and maintain order isn't what the English are doing here.

Yet nobody would refute what Tucker said, the global minority or what people in their lands have all been subjected to a mass expansion from the global majority?

let us observe Ireland, that Tucker once said did nothing to anyone.

Ireland have about 3m population, the people living there stayed there, they had no Empire.

Ireland are told they should go from about 20 migrants to 1.5 ish million migrants in 20 years.

Then there are some nations migrants that are insisting that their caste system is replicated in Ireland. Cruelty the Irish Catholic is back to pre Catholic emancipation days when they were part of the United Kingdom. This time it isn't the British or protestants involved in expansion and domination.

What is that if not expansion by the global majority to decimate the global minority all while the majority are sharing their sob stories acting the victims?

DuncinToffee · 26/11/2025 10:37

If you want to promote Tucker Carlson, start a new thread.

Unless he has said something about Farage's racism?

Agreed. Tucker Carlson is one of the worst of the worst. And it will be a thread I can avoid.

Tucker talking about his concerns for the global minority is worst of the worst for whom? Those who don't want to understand what fascism that Ferage is accused of and expansion is?

I doubt I will make the thread, I will think upon it. I am not surprised that you would avoid It, it would be painful to have to accept that your world view isn't shared by others. The world is starting to look at expansionists into the global minority whilst expansionists are trying to make out they the aggressor are the real victim. Some suggest that the expansionists are of a rapists mindset, unwanted yet force themselves upon others, that's how many in France and England felt in WW2.

If the premise if your argument is that no-one would refute what Tucker Carlson said, you can stop right there, because he gets refuted all the time. This is because he is a racist shit stirrer.

You are doing your very best to derail this thread whilst not criticising Farage for his behaviour and language but feting someone like Carlson
Not working.

Yes. That poster had spent a lot of time trying to talk about anything but the article - and indeed has refused to read the article! If they are not a troll, then they are just a very sad individual and I refuse to engage further with them. I suggest others ignore them too.

I don't like the man. He is old, he likely as did most people told jokes that wouldn't be acceptable today. I doubt anyone his age did not laugh at jokes, except Starmer who has no sense of humour.

You think it's "a joke" to repeatedly say to a Jewish person who had family members murdered by the Nazis "Hitler was right!" or "Gas the Jews!" and make sounds like gas escaping? What a strange sense of humour you must have.

beguilingeyes · 26/11/2025 12:43

It's the last refuge of the scoundrel isn't it?
How many of us have heard
'It's only a bit of fun love, can't you take a joke ' from numerous sexist arseholes over the years. It's the same excuse.

You really should do some basic fact checking before you post. Perhaps spend a little time observing Ireland before writing bullshit about it.
