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?

😂👍

Totally agree.

14 years versus 4 and a bit weeks. You couldn't make it up.

I work with large groups of people and regularly i am the only white person in the group of 50+

Same, me too.
Why is that a problem though?
So what if I'm the only white English in a room?
We're all just people.

I am in Scotland and was (selfishly I know!) concerned when I switched on the TV this morning and news banner on GMB was Violent Riots Across the UK thinking it was spreading beyond EDL and England/NI.

The riots may spread to Scotland and Wales yet, but the reporting could be better. Especially when EDL is trying to fan the flames here spreading speculation/lies about an unrelated stabbing in Edinburgh.

That’s not the answer you think it is.

Yes, by people thinking "thank fuck, we finally have a grown up with a spine in charge instead of one stoking up racist thugs".

Looking at the vote share and seats I'm not sure you can be so vociferous about this.
The tories and reform took 38% of the popular vote...

Most Tories and Reform voters aren't violent thugs. Most Tories are horrified. Stop forced teaming reasonable people with racists on the basis of their vote. It makes you look a bit silly.

Why would you ball up the tories and reform into one though?

Well, that was persuasive.

Exactly this and they’re also not the same party.

Pretty sure the grey vote which is pretty much all the Tories have left will be horrified. Many who toyed with Reform ( and potentially Tory)will be backpedaling fast.

Actually, it's entirely to be expected that the far right are throwing their toys out of the pram now they live in a country where their shit won't be tolerated any more. That's all that's happening here.

If you're playing THAT game - progressive parties took 53% of the overall vote.

That's nice dear.

Farage should be suspended from parliament for this behaviour.

This ^

Quite. Last time I looked, the Conservatives are quite keen on, ya know, conserving things. Not burning them.

The clue is in the name.

Absolutely not. That would provide all these people who insist nobody’s listening to them with fuel for their fire. Allow him to attend parliament and see how often he bothers to turn up.

Oh boo hoo, The claims he's only been in power 4 weeks is worse. It didn't stop the left blaming Truss who was in for even less time 😂.

It's different and you very well know that because I don't believe you're stupid.

Truss actively did something that crashed the economy against advice.

Starmer didn't stab and kill 3 innocent girls and stab many more.
Starmer didn't stop processing asylum seekers and housing them in hotels.

Starmer inherited a mess he hasn't had a chance to undo in 4 weeks.

Truss inherited a mess she made worse in 4 days.

I was reading an article about David Miliband the other day. Apparently, he is on a million pound salary in his position of president and chief executive officer of a refugee ‘charity’ funded to the tune of 33 million a year by the British government. Naturally, the charity is ‘in the red’.

His ‘chief operating officer’ was his former special advisor in government.

You couldn’t make it up. No wonder they don’t want to stop the boats.

Here’s a nice video showing the ongoing looting. Really great principles there. I hope every one of them gets a massive fine or jail time.

Anyone willing to defend this? Or is this also a protest that you’re willing to support.

Since when has 49 days been less than four weeks?

Yes you're right. The grooming gangs scandal has had a massive impact in my area. It was a big issue during the election. Every single general election candidate leaflet (except labour) that came through my door mentioned it, and the local Labour council lost overall control because of it. Farage is vile but he only taps into existing problems.

My favourite thing about @Midnightalready claiming to have a Cambridge degree which means she is more intellectual than myself, is not only the assumption considering this is an anonymous forum. But also, isn't this what those defending the rioters say 'the left' do to them? Call them stupid?

Brilliant work there.

You have just proved my point. The small snippet of his speech you have posted proves that he did not say that people who don't agree with him are racist thugs.

Thanks for clarifying.

I don't think you can minimise it like that. This issue has been brewing for decades.

Many of these people that are rioting are totally disenfranchised in their own towns and cities, and feel entirely ignored by most of the decision makers. I was shocked by the boldness, I was appalled by the racist incidents but I am totally unsurprised by this development.

This section of society tried the democratic way, and they were failed in their view, the immigration policy of the current Labour government is non existent - what did Labour expect exactly? That they could cancel the only alternative to uncontrolled illegal immigration therefore giving the green light to millions of economic migrants and not expect any consequences here???
Seriously?

It seems to me that the current Labour government are absolutely clueless, if they had paused, and listened to advice - they would have put into place a coherent policy for immigration control before scrapping anything, they would have carefully laid out the plan for the next five years or longer and explained it clearly to the nation, how they will move forward and control and secure our country and its borders.

The truth is they have no such plan, because Labour do not care how many more millions will arrive or where they will live or how they will be paid for, because they are blind to the impact it has on real communities and wish to virtue signal rather than to actually lead and engage.

They have become a hapless government that were way too cavalier and indifferent and now we are seeing the results of their poor judgement.

Calling the rioters thugs will only incite more anger and more violence, I can not understand why Starmer would use such language and inflame the issue. Instead of engaging with the root of their anger, which is the ONLY way forward and I fear Starmer and his hapless, checked out cabinet do not have the bandwidth to work outside of their very small metro bubble.

I want to see Starmer travel to some of these towns and cities tomorrow, sleeves rolled up and instead of furthering division, I want him to sit down and discuss the root issue, or this WILL be Labour's lasting legacy. An extended period of serious civil unrest, potentially even a civil war. It is that serious, Starmer can not afford to get this wrong. This is going to blow up his administration before it has even started if he does not engage as a proper leader, and actually address the issues at the core of these riots.

Can someone please tell Starmer the election campaign is over and he is now the Prime Minister and that means representing all parts of society and not just the ones he agrees with!
