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?

So you deny the massive amount of Russian interference in the west to destablise our region? Interesting.

It is never ever okay to use racist slurs or to repeat them on here or anywhere.
Please can you stop. Now.

I doubt they'll delete a long thread for a single post when they can just delete or edit the post.

Who is our own kind?

Is Farage Russian now?

i'm qwhite interested to hear this

The Russians will benefit from stirring up hatred, but I do not believe they have the power to influence and mobilise an entire section of society, no. The deep issues that brought them on to the streets in the first place have been there for decades.

Can we get back to Farage's slithering role in all this?

And you never, ever saw a single extreme Right tattoo (not just swastikas) or all the arms in the air, or heard offensive chants? You seem very certain you "never saw a single Nazi" but I'd love to know what definition you are using for them, because believe me, they were there. They might not actually self identify as such, they think they're "patriotic Englishmen" who just happen to hate Jews, Muslims and all foreign people and think that Hitler was right.

If one migrant/muslim/non-white person committing a crime means all migrants/muslims/non-whites are criminals then one rioter doing nazi salutes or having nazi tattoos must mean all rioters are nazis surely?

Theat's the logic the right wing are happy to use so they can't really object to it being applied to them.

And will you ever explain what the root cause of their anger is?

Wasn't there some debate about Farage's Russian affiliations not long ago? I forget.. .

Yes. DUE TO THE CONSERVATIVES CUTTING THEM UNDER AUSTERITY THEN SPENDING ALL THE MONEY ON BREXIT.

I am really fucking sick of the nonsense about it being someone else's fault. I'm a centre left voter, I didn't vote for the Tories to decimate the country and yet now posters like you say I'm the problem for "not listening to reasonable concerns".

If I said what I wanted to about it I'd be deleted. Yet rioting and smashing shit up apparently is fine.

But ignoring whether or not it's Russian disinformation, are you denying that a false name was circulated for the Southport killer and disinformation spread that he was a Muslim immigrants?

I don't know what their issue is - why don't we try asking them?

Andy MacDonald MP commenting on Farage's role in this (from Times Radio)

No but the massive amount of online misinformation can be traced there. Leading many to believe these lies and make them go onto the streets.

Yes. And the stupid rumours that triggered all this are also linked.

He was openly and actively smarming up
to Putin.

So why now? Why not six months or a year ago? Why have issues that have been simmering for decades suddenly resulted in riots at this particular moment in time?

False information is spread all of the time, most normal people know this. We don't need the Russians to spread disinformation, it happens all of the time by people here!! For goodness sake, such paranoia.

But it isn't anywhere near a civil war, the vast vast majority of people just don't agree with these rioting thugs.

You have had your day on the news and that's it I'm afraid, jail time hopefully for the worst offenders.

Civil war, that's ridiculous

Need, no. Are they good at it? yes.

We're nearly maxed out.
