20 years later and it happens again!
Rob Kenyon.
He went to the BBC looking for a job as an MP and ended up being interviewed live as a political expert. ๐คช
It's time to remember Farage's threats of Brexit violence.
During the Brexit debates, many Remain MPs, particularly women MPs, were threatened by violence.
Indeed, @JolyonMaugham reported he had been told that some female MPs had felt unable to support Remain for fear of violent reprisals.
Threatening violence for political ends is legally classified as terrorism. Some of the Brexit votes in Parliament were very close. It is quite possible that Brexit, or Brexit in its present form, was only pushed over the line through terrorist threats.
One question that has to be asked is why Farage was not prosecuted for terrorism. His remarks weren't just reports of a threat. He was telling his supporters that they would be justified in engaging in violence if he didn't get what he wanted. His threats were clearly meant to intimidate and sway political decisions, and as far as I can see that legally counts as terrorism. If there is two tier policing then Farage seems to be one of the main beneficiaries.
This is Ramsey. He is a mail delivery dog. Shipping is free, and while packages might not be handled with care, they are handled with enthusiasm. 14/10
'He got dragged out by his own PR man because things were going so well!'
James O'Brien sets the record straight with listener David, who thinks he's too scared to interview Nigel Farage.
This 85-year-old protest song about Hitler is going viral because it is relevant again today.
This will be my ringtone and my wake-up alarm from now on.
