Farage claims that ....

[LeighO]

It’s a fact the bloke is an actor, what’s not confirmed is whether he was paid by C4 and acting when he went all racist

Lawrence Fox and Ronnie Reagan were both actors, still right wing whack jobs as well.

In the scheme of "things to get upset about" the outing of the overt racism and bigotry of Reform is one I'll pass on, thanks. If I were you, I'd be more concerned about why I'm using Farage as my avatar. That's a pretty poor reflection on you, don't you think.

Outing of racism and bigotry in any political party is always to be applauded - from The Reform Party to The Labour Party (which, along with the racist
BNP, remain the only UK political parties to have been investigated for and found guilty of racism by the Equality and Human Rights Commission).

Avatars are just a bit of a laugh - I'll change it on Friday after Nigel has won Clacton.

Whatever. If you wish to continue to deflect this exchange from the obvious racist core of Reform then fill yer boots. I’m sure you’d fit in nicely with their ideology.

To be fair, I sometimes use Prince Andrew as my avatar, and it's never done me any harm.

[BoniO]

Yes, but he’s a fine upstanding member of the Royal family.

Superb speech by Farage today in front of 5,000 people. You can’t barrage the Farage.

4,750 of them out of work actors.

Quite fascinating what the events over the last few days have shown us about 'The Farage Playbook'.

When something untoward is suggested about him or his supporters, he laughs it off as 'that's just blokey speak' etc
When that fudging doesn't work and his actions, his beliefs , his supporters behaviour show something quite disturbing and unlawful, he goes on full attack.
He then presents himself as the victim. Victim of the evil establishment, victim of the evil media, victim of politics.
He poses with a jar of beer (even though he doesn't actually like the stuff) and his fan club believe he is 'one of them'.
But pointing this out to them, in their mind is just confirmation of their belief that he is the only one who 'is on their side, tells them the truth'
He uses their total adoration of him to ensure their mind rejects any observation, thoughts, opinions that don't come from him. ...
In reality Farage doesn't actually care about them or their struggles (remember how little interest he gave to the problems of fisheries when he had specific responsibility for this in the EU parliament? - was it one meeting out of 47 he attended`?)

Farage lovers: he doesn't give a flying f*** about you. YOU are just a tool he uses for his personal agenda.
And it's not an agenda for genuinely improving ordinary peoples' lives. Beware, you have been warned,
He thrives and delights in stirring up hate.
And collects your donations.

Ultimately the problem is that thick racist people get the same number of votes as people who consider manifestos, look at voting histories, mull over the pros and cons, watch the debates, assess the arguments and generally have more than a brain cell or two to rub together.

They're not the problem, it's those he feel so disenfranchised that they don't bother voting, thus pushing up a minority into something more significant.

Let me guess. You are one of the clever ones?

[Hoover Attack]

Do you think clever people vote for Farage?

[Perry Combover]

Wasn't it Farage who suggested that if we remained in the EU,80 million Turks would be invading our shores?He is happy to light fires,then expresses fake concern when conflict erupts.

[Beradogs]

All this sneering and being so condescending sounds very much like the brexit vote to me. If I was the left I would be concentrating on how great Starmer is going to be rather than worrying about how bad Farage is. Labour are about to get a huge majority and all I hear is Farage, Reform blah blah blah. Read the guardian comments section. 90% of the comments on politics live are about Farage and the left getting their knickers in a twist. I haven’t decided if I will vote for reform or the Social Democratic Party. The latter dont receive any press coverage ergo nobody votes for them. All you are doing is feeding into the narrative of us against them and Farage must be loving it.

How do you know they don't . ? That's just your opinion .

It's exactly that type of left wing contempt for people who don't agree with them that pushes people to party's like Reform . Keep it up

I don't think contempt for thick racists is a left wing preserve, but if you want to come out in support of them then that's your choice.

They don’t feel disenfranchised, they just hate brown people moving to the country.

Is that why a reform candidate has now changed to backing the Tory party because of the Racism row?

You're entitled to your opinion but I don't share it . For example ,mass immigration is a major concern for millions of people both from the left and right . Not talking about it and branding people racists who try to confront this problem only pushes people further to the right . You bury your head in the sand if you wish but somebody in the end is going to need to deal with this problem .

Of course it is - you've got the same dark powers at play, trying to replay the same game.

Honestly, I don't know how much more of this I can take. I'm giving serious consideration to moving abroad to somewhere like France with my fellow lefties.

Uncontrolled immigration is a disaster for everyone. We have the problem in Australia, where rent has gone up 30% in a year because of it. We cannot build sufficient housing and infrastructure to keep up with it, but the politicians on both sides love it as it increases their tax revenue. The government's around the world have basically been running a population ponzi scheme for the last 50 years

Yes. Plenty of intelligent people are horrible racist bigots - next (dumb) question.

You genuinely believe all that, don’t you. f*cking hell .
