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?

They are deliberately mocking a sacred prayer.

These are probably the same types of people who got all exercised about the Olympics opening ceremony being anti-Christian even though they never read the bible

What is this ridiculous "he called us far right thugs" about?
Yes. If you are rioting and smashing shit up, or inciting people to do so, you are a far right thug. Actions have consequences 😂

Honestly the more I hear from the far right the more they come across like toddlers tantrumming. Farage is like the worst kind of "gentle parent" - "there there Tarquin, of course Johnny should have let you break his toy if you wanted, you were right to pull all his hair out, you were just angry weren't you love? Here, have an ice cream and I'll get Johnny's mum to apologise to you"

farage doesn’t care about anyone but himself. The sooner people realise that the better.

Anyone setting fire to police station and throwing bricks through windows (no matter what their ethnicity) need to be arrested and charged. Being a ‘native Briton’- whatever that means- is no pass to behave like an angry baboon.

I’d be interested to see people’s excuses for the number of police officers badly hurt in these ‘demonstrations’ vs the outcry over the three officers attacked at Manchester Airport.

Justice is treating your friends and you enemies just the same. If you can’t do that then you’re in the grip of a cult.

And Spain can make the choice to not allow as many ex pats to retire there if that doesn't work for them. And Spain charges the UK for the hospital care they provide to British citizens under a reciprocal agreement.

They have. Since Brexit you can't just live FT in your second home you brought there. If you want to do that you have to apply for a visa - not easy - and relinquish some of your UK rights and pay into the Spanish system.

I know because I have many friends with places abroad.

Funnily enough many of them voted for Brexit - who now are fuming what they voted for gets the, what the voted for. Oh - hang on. No it didn't. They voted to stop people coming into Britain. Not stop them going into other countries 🤦‍♀️🤔

I think in the end the result will be tighter controls on social media. It does seem like both the Southport attacker and the EDL have been brainwashed via social media and the dark web. In fact, I can’t think of a terrible incident in recent years that can’t be traced back to the pernicious influence of social media.

Thanks for posting all that, good to see it all in context.
He doesn't say that people who don't agree with him are racist thugs at all, does he?
Far right thuggery is what we are seeing on the streets. He's calling it out.
If you're not a far right thug and just "have legit concerns" why are you (general you) feeling so personally attacked?
Does it make you feel uncomfortable? That these people share your views? Just going at it a little bit more extremely?
Good. I hope it does make people squirm/think.
I think it's a great speech.
He's saying we won't tolerate it, and they'll be dealt with.
Much more reassuring than maybe some woolly "we love you, you have good concerns, stand by" crap to appease them.
No. Fuck that. Get far right thugs off our streets.
Funny how you hear stuff like "need proper police, get criminals dealt with properly!"
"No, hang on, wait.... not us!" 🙄😁

Anyone who uses the murder of three little girls to further their own agenda, demanding that society focus on them and their dissatisfaction, instead of providing the space to grieve the lives lost, should not be listened to. Should not be appeased.

The rioters are deplorable - truly the worst of society. They’ve undermined any legitimate grievance by their willingness to take advantage of an unthinkable situation - they don’t care about anyone or anything but themselves - certainly not what’s good for society and the UK. Let’s not pretend otherwise

My Cambridge degree says the joke's on you.

@FarmFlowers Did the group/mob/gathering of Muslim people destroy property, loot shops and attack the police?

Ooh. Nice flex!

Hang on though. Doesn't that mean you are part of the "elite"?

Did you buy it on the internet?

I am in a part of the country where being white British is the minority

I work with large groups of people and regularly i am the only white person in the group of 50+ My managers are either 1st or 2nd generation immigrant. (As am I)
The general consensus I have heard regularly is that there are no real white British people in the country.

If I wanted to I could complain about racist language being used by most of the group but let it slide. I am old enough to realise I would just put myself permanently out of work as all the other areas or places around me the same demographics and same issues would apply.

What Keir Starmer and Labour need to realise there are racists and racist thugs in every skin colour.

The braindead, racist thugs who are doing this and pandering to Farage absolutely are in the minority. I have faith that the majority of people in this country are decent, peaceful, intelligent and compassionate people who don't want any of this. You think you're big now. Just wait until you push the decent people too far. I want the country I love and was born in to be a safe place that I'm proud to raise my daughter and will fight for it if needed as will plenty of others.

Why? That's what they were shouting. That's a fact. Is it racist to say that now.

If I say God is Great in English...is that racist?

How very silly you are!

That Gordon Brown moment was a turning point. Keir Starmer's speech will be seen as another, I suspect.

Yes.

There has been alot less immigration and no Islamic terrorism or violent attacks by asylum seekers from dangerous places (Manchester arena, Reading, Bolton, David Amess and on and on and on all happened in England).

I have no idea what that means, why it’s relevant to the discussion or why you made it a reply to my comment?

That was pointing out any less protests in Scotland and Wales.

Very much so. And disgusted with how it operates at the moment.

One of the comments in the Telegraph linked to an interview with a former government advisor and they were talking about how the police had tried to bargain with a large group of men with weapons outside a mosque (this was described in the interview as a ‘militia’) by telling them to return their weapons to the mosque.

It’s honestly terrifying.

Only by those who haven't actually listened to the speech and are taking offence to what they think he said, or what social media is telling them he said, instead of what he actually said.

I think so too.
It was certainly a turning point for me when I felt we had the leader we need. Quite a rare feeling after the Tories. A strong, no tolerance message is exactly what's needed now and when the rioters start seeing their mates getting arrested they will realise what a bad move listening to the likes of Farage was.

there were still weapons on the streets.

Where does Starmer say that people who don't agree with him are racist thugs? You are making rubbish up. This is what he said

I utterly condemn the far-right thuggery we have seen this weekend

I think you have answered your own question.
