[News] Nigel Farage and Reform

[Guinness Boy]

I can just imagine the faces in Mod towers when this thread turned up ....

It's exactly the same as every other thread on NSC since football stopped, people got bored and the divide and conquer merchants from the Alt Right got exactly what they wanted.

In a day or so it'll turn into the same closed minded bigots from all the other threads calling each other a ****.

To a degree, crack on, but don't stoop to the levels of abuse one particular regular protagonist did on another thread.

Can someone swiftly erect a statue of him so we can chuck it in the river?

Why not throw Farage in the river and cut out the middle man?

It will take a generation or more to undo the damage that Farage and his acolytes have done to the reputation of this country.

And mainly, it will be the generations behind mine that will have to pick up the bill; ironically, the generations that least wanted him and his kind anywhere near power.

This won't be the last of Farage, there is a toxic core of Crypto Fascists in British society that worship him

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I am NO Farage supporter - but I am Jewish - Farage Anti-Semitic? No way
Corbyn anti-Semitic on the other hand ...

Given your opinion would you care to comment on post 28 of this thread?

Oh well...he can spend more time in his tent perched on a cliff overlooking Dover harbour

Nobody wants to be the monster of their own story, UKIP will historically be a stain on us and a lesson which hopefully we learn from as a country. For too long the EU has been used as a scape goat to hid our own xenophobia or the personal interests of powerful people.

I fear you are correct; however, the " tumor " has been spread through indoctrination to the non powerful people who voted for Brexit.

Whatever has been learned can be unlearned but I fear there is no appetite to unlearn it.

Agreed. Farage is Islamaphobic which is equally disgusting.

Don't tell me he's going to bring his saloon bar bigotry to NSC.

People like Farage will always attract a core support, it is the ones who wouldn't normally follow him that will be detached once Brexit is over. Outside of this he does not have a platform, proven by the fact that during Covid-19 he has largely been ignored by the mainstream media. Once Brexit is over he will have to choose what the next issue will be - I remember he was contemplating talking about a Reform Party to tackle things such as the NHS but Covid may well have taken the wind out of those sails. Then there is Cummings - I reckon one of his long games is the destruction of Farage as a political popularist who had the capacity to eat into a chunk of Conservative support and make them vulnerable to any strong Labour showing.

I think take away Brexit , his support is a lot lower than many people think . The public aren’t that daft they saw through corbyn they will see through Farage .

 

[Doctor Crawley]

The beginning of the end of all of our right to freedom of speach.
Now I’m not suggesting I agree with a lot of what he says or does, but this is a slippery slope we are now sliding down.

Too many corporate institutions will be scared senseless to be connected with anyone who has even farted too loudly.

Watch the hysteria then.

I'm genuinely interested where the evidence is that he's anti- semitic, because that's a hell of a thing to say about someone?

hmmm

 

[Machiavelli]

Why not throw Farage in the river and cut out the middle man?

Because that would be (at the very least) attempted murder. And I value human life to a far, far greater extent than property.

So true, Farage already had the racists and fascist onboard, UKIP was always a stepping stone for them to get closer to their ideas. What UKIP offered was the ability to harness the xenophobic light vote that was just enough to get them over the line!

And so we end up in the current situation, led by the shambles that we have.

Jewish people and their welfare was not high up on Corbyn’s list and certainly isn’t on Farage’s either . Just because he is clearly anti black & anti Muslim doesn’t mean he can’t be anti Jewish as well . He is .

If only the Daily Mail held their hands up and admitted being racist and xenophobic and shut down !
