It's always the easily influenced who are incited to riot and end up ruining their lives. While the instigator gains some political adulation from other gullible idiots and smugly basks in their hero worship, from his private members club.

Today isn't a debunk as much as a pre-bunk!

We know the narrative that will inevitably follow this story on the front page of today's Telegraph - but particularly amongst the millions who will only read the headline and not the paywalled article

Kevin Maguire: "After the attack on the Liverpool football parade & it was a white guy, middle class, former royal marine, no-one went after other white, middle class former marines & set this person represents that entire group"

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Someone has forgotten who the Immigration Minister was when this man arrived and was given leave to remain. A certain Mr Jenrick.

[Zoe Gardner @ZoeJardiniere]

Dress it up however you like - this racist violence has been deliberately whipped up by far right politicians & their cowardly wannabes in the supposed mainstream.

You are either fighting against the anti-migrant narrative or you are with these thugs.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Your reminder that this cunt is currently inciting violence on the streets of Britain from… RUSSIA.

Where he’s hanging out with Musk’s rapey dad.

Couldn’t make it up.

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

The right wing and the far right have not tweeted about this Nazi who tried to behead a Kurdish barber with an axe.

Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson, Robert Jenrick, Rupert Lowe, and all the usual suspects were silent. But they are very vocal about incidents like the horrific attempted murder in Belfast and Henry Nowak’s murder.

They are opportunists who use horrible incidents involving minorities to sow division and hatred.

A Saudi student was stabbed in the neck outside student accommodation in Cambridge by a cocaine user, and they did not say F all.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame.

Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

What happened in Belfast was what Lucy Connolly called for in Southport.

She was, quite rightly jailed.

Only for Reform to give her a heroes welcome at their conference, which normalised and applauded racial incitement.

Now look at where we are.

It’ll be lynchings next.

Mehdi Hasan slams Elon Musk, "He is obsessed with finding these cases where he can then amplify far right voices"

"He doesn't just do it in England with Tommy Robinson, he does it in German with the AfD, obviously he does it in the US with Twitter"

Victoria Derbyshire, "What is he seeking to do?"

Mehdi Hasan, "He's seeking to embolden some of the worst far right voices in the Western world"

"That's why he's funding so many people all over the place"

"This is his agenda. It's a very racist agenda. We see that in the US with the Republican party"

"Elon Musk amplifies some of the most neo-nazi voices on Twitter"

"You can take the boy out of apartheid South Africa, can you take apartheid South Africa out of the boy?"

HISTORY LESSON

The Nazi Party branded itself the 'National Socialist German Workers' Party' to appeal to working-class men. After staging massive 'pro-worker' May Day rallies on May 1, 1933, the very next day Hitler banned independent trade unions, seized their assets, and arrested their leaders.

On May 2, 1933, the SA (Storm Troopers), SS, and police occupied trade union offices nationwide in a coordinated action. They seized assets, records, and funds while arresting union leaders and officials. Contemporary U.S. State Department reports and other sources noted around 50 prominent arrests in the initial wave, including key figures like Theodor Leipart (chairman of the General German Trade Union Federation, ADGB), Peter Grassmann, and former Labor Minister Rudolf Wissell.

Many more local and regional leaders faced arrests in the following days and weeks. Large numbers endured beatings, imprisonment, or transfer to early concentration camps such as Dachau (opened in March 1933 primarily for political opponents).

Some officials were maltreated immediately, and the action extended to union banks and press offices.

This crackdown dismantled independent German trade unions (with millions of members, many aligned with Social Democrats or leftists) and replaced them with the Nazi-controlled German Labour Front (DAF). It formed part of the broader Gleichschaltung (coordination) process to eliminate independent organizations.

Over the period 1933–1945, thousands of German trade unionists, including leaders, activists, and officials, were arrested and held in prisons or concentration camps. Many suffered torture, extended detention, or surveillance after release. While outright executions of union leaders were relatively fewer in the early phase compared to other groups, many died later from camp maltreatment, disease, execution, or involvement in resistance.

The overall scale of persecution against labour organisers aligns with the regime's aim to crush independent working-class organising rather than immediately exterminate every individual.

This fits the documented pattern of political repression: by the end of July 1933, nearly 27,000 people (mostly political prisoners including communists, socialists, Social Democrats, trade unionists and left-wing activists and intellectuals) were held in early camps and detention sites.

The Nazis moved swiftly after seizing power to neutralise potential opposition from organised labor through mass arrests, violence, and forced integration into a state-controlled structure.

This one hits hard.

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

There are only 8 Reform MPs and they have a combined wealth of over £70,000,000.

They have consistently voted against every single improvement to workers rights and plan to scrap legal protections left right and centre.

They are funded by the bosses to rip up your rights.

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

Henry Nowak's father outside court yesterday: "We do not want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension"
Today Farage calling for pure cold hard rage.
- Farage is looking to stoke up summer riots again. He is a vile racist who uses people's fear and anger to create division and hatred. Farage is a stain on the UK's history. He is using the death of a young man to stoke up anger across a fractured country.

I feel so so sorry for Henry Nowaks parents.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

[Kevin Maguire @Kevin_Maguire]

No political party should have this man as a candidate if even half the allegations are true.

The question is why do Reform attract a relatively higher proportion of this type.

Read the @hopenothate report and cringe or scream.

When you became a Councillor just by convincing the gullible that everything is the fault of immigrants. Then you find out that you need to actually do something other than put up flags, sing the national anthem and say the Lord’s Prayer.

[TheVikingDane @TheVikingDane]

This is getting ridiculous. This is NOT the UK. It is NOT an illegal immigrant. The video is from 2018 and from America. This platform is becoming a cesspit of misinformation.

So what happens when Reform take over your local council?

This.

[Supertanskiii @supertanskiii]

Farage, with a very different accent, explaining how to exploit and profit from the very same system that he claimed to rail against.

Including using one’s wife to account for financial irregularities.

Well, it apparently works when trying to explain away house purchases, eh?
