@lawks1 Yes, rabble rouse then play the victim. Pure Donald Trump tactic.

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

Last week a judge referred Nigel Farage to the attorney general for possible contempt of court.
Yesterday Farage incited violence today he is justifying that violence.
This is Trump style right wing populism & straight out of the Steve Bannon playbook.

@ClareTa97789912 @BBCPM Indeed. I’ve watched/listened to other reports on the BBC today and none mentioned Yaxley-Lennon’s part in this so called‘protest’.
That has to call into question BBC editorial decisions.

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

#bbcpm your report about what happened in Southampton last night failed to mention Stephen Yaxley-Lennon & his supporters traveled there and Yaxley-Lennon gave a speech whipping up tension.

Do you not think this might have been relevant to the violence that followed?

@stefg11 @DeborahMeaden And if the case had been discussed then ex-Tory MP Simon Clarke who was on the programme could have made that point.
But it wasn’t, so he couldn’t.

This morning the Govt won a court case meaning the UK won’t have to pay over £100M to Rwanda to clean up the mess left by the Tories.

But sod discussing that, let’s just have yet another day of #PoliticsLive speculating on the Labour leadership.

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

Laila Cunningham was an unknown local councillor until she defected to Reform.
She then became a regular on BBC political programmes.
Now it’s announced She’s to be Reform London mayoral candidate.
It’s as if @BBCPolitics worked with Reform to raise her public profile.

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

Reform has been losing support to Rupert Lowe’s mob recently.
Nigel Farage trying to justify the violence in Southampton last night is an attempt to win back that support.
The fight for the far right vote is going to take place in the gutter of politics.

Are the Farage riots to become an annual event?
Reforms version of The Purge.

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

‘Are some politicians inciting violence’ asks Vicki Young.

A day after Nigel Farage, Zia Yusuf. Matt Goodwin and Laila Cunningham all appeared on various BBC programmes giving them the platform to do just that.

@BBCPolitics That photo is from yesterday’s line up, isn’t it?

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

@McDowellWallace Amen to that.

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

Zia Yusuf has been all over the media today.
He isn’t a politician, he has never stood for let a lone won an election yet he’s never off our TV screens.
It’s time for him to put up or shut up and stand as an MP.

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

@William232393 I don’t think we do disagree. I’m baffled as to why the media, and in particular the BBC, has made him possibly the most platformed man in UK politics.

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

@hqbinders Fair enough. Can’t blame you.

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

@PaulTomlinsonn @BBCNewsnight Aye, I just watched some of it, had to switch off. I didn’t have the energy for any more of their right wing crap tonight.

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

Reform out in force on the BBC today.
Matthew Goodwin a panelist on #PoliticsLive
Zia Yusuf on #wato with his words now repeated on #bbcpm along with a clip of Nigel Farage speaking unchallenged.

Who needs GBnews when we have good old Auntie Beeb for all our right wing needs?

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

@Maxine2xs It’s a weird, weird world we’re living in!

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

How Reform manipulate the media and how the media allow them to do so…
Questions over Farage crypto millions & Tice tax affairs they hide & the media cycle moves on.
The terrible murder of a young man they’re invited on to every news programme to spread their hatred.

@AmandaP79729587 That was remarkably close to being an apology! Haha!
That aside, I don’t have the answers to your questions, but have you read ‘Complicit’ by Peter Oborne?

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

@Angus59137606 Aye, I’ve lost count now of the times I’ve said, right, that’s the last straw!

[mick (daddo) friel @daddofriel]

@Angus59137606 I empathise with you, and perhaps I’m naive, but I don’t want to give up on it because I think the alternative will be even worse.
