Farage inciting hate and division - Hos much longer do we have to endure this hideous individual?

[Safi7]

So Farage now has a video statement on Twitter claiming that the current rioting is “nothing in comparison to what is to come.”

Anyone else hearing reverberations of Enoch Powell’s ‘rivers of blood’ speech back in the 70s?

He is also, ‘just putting it out there’ that the police and authorities are ‘withholding the truth’ - ie. insinuating that the murderer in the Southport tragedy was actually acting on behalf of a wider terrorist network and this is being hushed.

If this isn’t inciting fear, paranoia, violence and division, I don’t know what is!

I notice he’s gone very quiet about his pathetic accusation that Channel 4 tried to set-up Reform by somehow planting an ‘actor’ to trundle around Clacton spouting racist filth.

No Nigel, you know full well who that campaigner was - and the other Reform campaigners in Clacton caught on camera with their hate speech. These are your people.

I cannot abide this man. The damage he had caused to the U.K. I have been abroad this last month and don’t want to come back. Years and years he’s been provoking hate. He has ruined the country with Brexit - but he always has someone else to blame. I don’t think I’ve ever despised a U.K. politician so much. How much longer do we have to tolerate this?

Sorry for typos.

Honestly, if his actions are still within the law, the law needs to be changed. He is a very dangerous man and we should not allow him to escape accountability for his actions.

Surely his comments on twitter need to be removed to ensure a fair trial

I'm with you OP.

A creep and a very divisive and fascist man.

Wish he would fuck off to his sunny uplands. lala land

He's the new Enoch Powell.

Utterly abhorrent, both of them.

He avoids attending the House of Commons to make his incendiary statements because he would be subject to Parliamentary rules.

On Twitter he has greater freedom.
I'm sure he planned this when going up for MP in the last GE - not that this was part of his manifesto, of course.

He is no better than Trump inciting his supporters after he lost the election. Farage WANTS to stir the hatred, the more hatred, the more unrest and division, the more people he has following him. Most worrying was the footage of families and kids joining the marches. Yes there’s lots of EDL and extremists but it feels like a proportion of the general public have been thoroughly radicalised to this horror. Local FB sites have post after post criticising something or other and it’s generally onto ‘the boat people’ within 3 replies.

Actually Farage is talking a lot of sense and condemned the violence, from speaking to literally hundreds of people today whilst filming the only person stoking up any tesions is Kier and his bloody arrogant press conferences. It's been like a red rag to a bull.

The most pathetic prime minister this country has ever seen, he truly is ignorant and blind to what is actually going on and why people are so angry. Sitting in his little ivory tower in his london bubble he really is clueless.

Blame farage all you like but your looking in the wrong place. but then again it's like the blind leading the blind.

It's incitement but the little shit knows arresting MPs and those in political parties is incendiary and so he gets away with it.

It's the nasty face of free speech. He winds people up to do his dirty work.

this, exactly this

He's been in charge for ten minutes. Any social issues that exist are the fault of the Tories, 14 years they've had.

He had one job this weekend, just one. It was a simple task to try to calm things down and tell the people he understands their frustration and was going to deal with it and then also add that violence is not the answer and would not be stood for.

What he did however is challenge every single person who is unhappy and label them all far right thugs and threaten them. Now, not sure how you deal with issues in your household but when tensions are high you do not stand their with a big can of petrol and threatened every one with a wooden robotic manner and call them out and then today double down on it. He's a prick plain and simple.

@MrsTerryPratchett why are people angry? Because a hideous human being murdered 3 girls? Why attack mosques? Or homes for asylum seekers?

Farage is a clever rich man, brainwashing a lot of hardworking but low income people.

The thing is, you can keep telling yourself that all you like, but you're wasting your energy. You lot are in the minority. The vast majority of people in this country are decent people who can see exactly what Farage is trying to do and don't buy into his racist rhetoric.

The racist thugs were massively outnumbered in my city this weekend by peaceful antiracist demonstrators. It has been the same in countless other cities across the country. You can keep trying but you will not succeed.

How can he deal with “it” though? And what is “it”?

See this is why the left won't get on top of this situation, call them all thick and call them brainwashed. Don't try to figure out the actual route, because the left had have already make up their own mind. Well it's late, you reap what you sow, good night.

Sorry i'm not in the minority that's all in your head and such a lazy thing to say pathetic. 🙄

@orchiddottyback what is the ‘actual route’ (with official sources please if it is data).

You can keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better about yourself, but it won't make it true.

You are a tiny but vocal minority. You make a lot of noise but it won't come to much because there aren't enough of you to make a difference. Most people in this country are much better than what you stand for.

Sounds exactly like Trump. Vile fascists, both of them.

You're certainly in the minority on this thread. Check the votes.

Can you imagine his school teachers were calling him racist? This was a long time ago, I assume he was in school in what - the 70s? And yet even back then his views were considered racist! Yikes.

The far right ARE thick and they ARE brainwashed though.

Don’t come for me. After all, freedom of speech isn’t it? Or does it only work one way? Don’t be such a snowflake!

Enoch Powell definitely sprung to my mind 😔. Its very worrying. I agree Keir Starmer has just ignited the flames, even more. People are worried and anxious, about the increasing numbers of immigration. Keir needs to acknowledge and address this, before he can deal with the problem. I don't agree with the violence and thuggery, I absolutely don't and people are certainly taking advantage, to spread hatred and fear and racist views. However, I do understand people's anger and fear, there have been numerous systematic cover ups prioritising political correctness over people's safety for the fear of being seen as racist. There are influxes of males illegally coming into this country claiming asylum, not women or families. Men, some even pretending to be children.

That would sort if work if fears about immigration were at the root of this, but there's no reason to think that they are.

How has Keir Starmer "ignite the flames even more" exactly?

What are the systematic cover-ups you refer to? Any evidence for this, e.g links?
