He was inciting violence with his “address to the nation” speech, calling for rage.

Meanwhile, he doesn’t care when women are actually murdered by the police

Surely enough is enough and they need to take action?

Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) on X

We must not allow the tragic murder of a young woman turn into attacks on men and attacks on the police.

Discredit fox news, cnn etc all you want, im not an avid viewer. However, they have millions of viewers in the us, millions of people outside of the uk now know the uk really is

Is that code?

Most people don't form their opinion of a country on the basis of one news article on one partisan news channel.

Is deflect the latest notion the left are adopting as their own word? OK for Starmer to not answer PM questions and deflect elsewhere though. It doesn't change the fact he's the weakest PM ever.

I’m not the left. But the far right call everyone who doesn’t worship Farage the left,

Your deflection from Farage’s unpleasant manipulation is so transparent.

All politicians are slippery self serving power hungry liars. If you seriously think your preferred set of politicians are more honest, have more integrity or will serve you more than the next set of politicians then you kidding yourself.

’Flag shagger’ 🙄

It’s this type of name calling that will get us PM Farage. And those doing the name calling, those ‘we know better’ people will be the ones left scratching their heads asking how did that happen. Just as they did in 2016.

People vote for these grifters because they are being described accurately?🤷🏻‍♀️. That's sad.

Comments after the last lot of elections show that these people haven't a clue. And frankly they deserve all they get. It's a shame they are dragging decent people down with them.

I'm old so I don't really care too much

I never thought I’d say this but maybe the French are right to stick so rigidly to what it means to be French and insist on secularism in public institutions.

As is your BS that you're not on the left. It's only that political persuasion who lose it over Farage.

You're more decent than anyone else? Such classism without the class.

If you seriously think Obama has the same level of integrity and probity as Trump or Gorbachev as Putin or Heseltine and Farage then we live in different worlds.

Politics aside, there really can't be a sane person alive who thinks Farage is a decent, loyal, honest, altruistic human being with the UKs best interests at heart.

No it’s anyone who isn’t far right who loathes Farage. Which doesn’t mean they’re on the left but the far right have even forgotten there exists a centre in politics.

Meanwhile, the sane people voting for the anti-semitic green party, whose dishonesty about being commumitted to environmental issues..

Kemi Badenoch seemed pretty much in disagreement with Farage on this subject in parliament yesterday.

No more so than any other politician, whose ultimate priority lies with their own ambition.

Well I don't riot or dress in pink and shout at hotels, although my taxes pay for these people.

so, there's that.

The Green Party has suspended and publicly condemned antiseminist behaviour.

Farage is actively putting up a candidate who says women shouldn’t drive and proudly declares himself sexist.

2023 "Later that year he told BBC Radio 5 Live "a woman is an adult female".

Ah, yes;

He told the Sunday Times in 2023 that "for 99.9% of women, it is completely biological ... and of course they haven't got a penis".

Later that year his position had changed - he told BBC radio: "Firstly, a woman is an adult female, so let's clear that up."

Yes but as usual, she showed a balance. That still doesn't mean she thinks there isn't a problem with race per se, shaping policing. She does acknowledge that Farage is an MP like the others but that requires intelligent articulation, not name calling.

You wanted it from his own lips.
There it was.

This is the kind of message those seeking to undermine the democratic system and process churn out.

Slippery: can't answer a straight question
Self serving: conveyorbelt of politicians engulfed in sleeze
Power hungry: throw eachother under the bus to get up the ladder
Liars: u-turns on manifestos.

I'm 43 and seen numerous governments come and go and they have all encountered the above.
