Talk about bending over backwards for Farage
First off Bruce questioned whether Farage had ever filmed a video saying up the IRA for £85 - a fact which should be well known to any political journalist
Then she was told in her ear he had
And subsequently she put out the Farage line he had been tricked
When the questioner was making the point about whether a man ( who accepted a secret gift of £5m from a crypto billionaire) could be trusted if he would say Up the IRA for £85…
The point is about judgement, integrity and trustworthiness
Farage demonstrated a lack of discriminating judgement. If he would do that in pursuit of £85 what would he say and do for £5m ? It’s a fair question
BBC displaying no backbone and letting Farage dictate the agenda . Again
I’m hearing that Farage is really upset that the riots he has incited are being called the #FarageRiots.
Probably best if we don’t refer to the riots that Farage incited as the #FarageRiots.
Please share to raise awareness of the importance of not using the term #FarageRiots
Farage wound you all up, lads. Then off he popped to his private club for a spot of lunch and a few glasses of the finest wine.
Then Tommeh set you off, spoke for 15 minutes to make sure you were really, really angry. Then he buggered off as well.
And now there you all are, waiting for the knock on the door as the cops go through all the footage your pals the "auditors" took.
You will do the time.
They riled you to do the time, and will walk away scot free.
They're laughing at you. All of you. Without you, their money-making scams would never work, and they would have to get a proper job instead.
Don't forget to send your money to Tommeh next time he has a little drama, though, will you?
Zia, genuine question. You aren't employed by Reform, you don't hold any public office, you aren't a director of Reform or even a share holder in the Limited company. So what gives you the right to lecture the public on anything? All you did was donate £200,000 to Reform and Farage gave you a fake title. Would you care to explain?
Sick & tired of people being unable comprehend that you can totally decry Farage for inciting violence and rage AND ALSO believe that the murder of Henry Nowak was utterly horrendous and that the police got it very wrong.
These things are NOT mutually exclusive!
One of the two men charged with public order offences outside the police station in Southampton has been charged with possession of a knife.
Imagine being such a prick that you go to protest knife crime by carrying a concealed knife. And why would you if it was “peaceful”?
@politixintheuk Basically they should just send the clean up bill and the cost of policing the farage riots to 🤔 lets think about this a minute!
Well yes farage?.
Smashed car windows. Bricks littering the streets. Families left clearing up the mess after a night of chaos in Southampton.
This wasn't done in Henry Nowak's name. Associating this destruction with Henry or his family's memory is an insult.
This was the work of Farage and his mob of thugs who seized the chance to riot while pretending to be the victims.
You see that guy in the suit with a moustache thinking he's Arthur Shelby?
He's a member of the Birmingham branch of a fascist organisation.
These are outsiders coming to inflame tensions against the wishes of Henry's family, not concerned locals.
The Sikh community are often first on the scene in a crisis. They dedicate their lives to helping others, of any culture. They provide untold amounts of relief in humanitarian disasters. One evil act by one Sikh does not represent the vast majority who are charitable & peaceable.
Horrific scenes of violence from Potswood tonight. Thugs, egged on by Nigel Farage’s divisive “pure cold rage” and fake claims of anti-white policing have literally run riot
Henry Nowak’s family were clear: they did not want his death exploited this way.
#FarageRiots .Again.
All of this is dealt with by holding people accountable using democracy and the rule of law.
Those out there attacking police officers are the very worst of Britain and don’t speak for this country.
Farage, Lowe and Robinson all played their part in instigating this rioting.
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.
Arrest Nigel Farage for willingly and deliberately inciting riots in Southampton.
Shamelessly using the murder of Henry Nowak to start further civil unrest.
Nigel Farage is a grave danger to our national safety.
#TheFarageRiots
Less than 18 hours ago, the brave and dignified father of Henry Nowak appealed to the nation to not use his son’s death to create further division.
“We want to use Henry’s heartbreaking story to make change for the better. We do not want his death to create further division, hatred or tension.”
Nigel Farage clearly has different plans as he exploits that family’s unimaginable loss and pain to further his own political ambitions, and create more of the division his party is thriving on:
“I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure, cold, rage.”
