Totally agree with you and they haven’t even been buried yet! Sad times.
The scum rioting have no respect for anyone. Not the poor victims, their families, their community !
Where are the Reform politicians condemning their voters?
Very quiet? Why?
Oh so you are another one stating NF voters are all rioters? You are talking rubbish- NF farage is on the right, not far right- these violent thugs have probably never voted in their lives- they are pure scum giving the NF voters a bad name..
They are probably THE Old BNP lot, thick as two short planks- because they can’t scrap on the football,,they are using this as a total excuse to go out & fight. I am 100% sure NF DOES NOT CONDONE THIS VIOLENCE!
I am 100% sure NF DOES NOT CONDONE THIS VIOLENCE!
Nigel Farage has done little other than insidiously question the police's handling of the attack on the children in Southport by suggesting they were withholding the truth about the identity of the perpetrator.
You don't need a degree in psychology to understand how that plays into the hands of individuals who believe that the nation's problems are all caused by immigrants arriving on small boats. And I'm putting that politely.
He has been photographed sitting on the Essex coastline with binoculars scanning the sea for small boats; he has claimed that those arriving on the boats are all given a new iPhone within 24 hours of arrival. A 'fact' that is not substantiated - most of the iPhones that are handed out - and not all migrants receive them - are from charities where they've been donated, and are certainly not "new". During the pandemic immigration staff were unable to interview immigrants face to face and iPhones were handed out as a temporary measure until restrictions were lifted.
Reform UK were asked by Full Fact to give a source for their claim. They never responded.
Lee Anderson, the new-boy on the Reform block, has made a plea - I want my country back in justification for his claim that Islamists had "got control" of Sadiq Khan and of London. He said that the Mayor had "given our capital away to Islamists":
I don’t actually believe that the Islamists have got control of our country, but what I do believe is they’ve got control of Khan and they’ve got control of London… He’s actually given our capital city away to his mates
Do you genuinely believe that this kind of rhetoric has not helped to fuel the riots and inflame the rioters? Or that both Farage and Anderson are unaware of the effect their narrative has had on those taking part in these anti-immigrant / anti-police riots?
I haven't caught up with the news - has Nigel Farage condemned - even belatedly - the rioters?
I'd pose one more question to you. If the migrants were to quite suddenly be stopped - stopped arriving on our shores - do you think that money would then be spent on the homeless, ex-servicemen, the disabled, the sick, the impoverished living in B&Bs with their families, the NHS, social-care, mental-health services, the police, hospitals, child day-care, housing, education, crumbling schools, you-name-it?
Do you think the last government which believed in the free market and the small-state - which cut public spending to the bone because of this ideology - would equally suddenly have a change of political ideology and fund all the above?
Think about it. Migrants arriving on small boats - not just here but in the rest of Europe - is a problem, and one that has to be addressed - but it is not the cause of the impoverishment of the nation. Think about that extra £millions per week that could've been spent on the NHS - that Brexit carrot that was intended to persuade people that a right-wing government committed to disbanding public services and selling them off would actually spend money on funding them.
Read Reform's manifesto. Listen to Farage when he's commenting on matters other than immigration. In 2014 Farage was caught on camera telling Ukip supporters that the state-funded NHS should move towards an insurance-based system run by private companies. In other words, privatised. Some of his constituents in Clacton can hardly afford to pay their rent or bills - where do you think they will find the money for Farage's - the-man-of-the-people who speaks for the silent majority - private health insurance?
Our problems were not caused by being a member of the EU nor were they caused by immigrants. They are logically, inevitably and naturally the result of a government's ideology of free-market libertarianism and small-state economy. It's as simple as that.
and yes his supporters have been quiet.
Feel free to continue talking about the WFA or whatever you like! No need to take offence where there is none.
