Farage is a fascist. He's racist, misogynist and not keen on on disabled people. Anyone who thinks he is a good idea, be careful what you wish for. Your nhs will be gone, the most disadvantaged in society will be sidelined and the wealthy will be wealthier. Britain will become isolationist. He is not liked abroad except by trump and that should tell you everything. I'm not bonkers I'm very worried that people will be sleepwalking into misery.

I wonder if the light might be dawning? Still the lure of variations on " they come here and take our jobs" is very strong for some.

Congratulations, Nanna 8 on posting your opinion and sticking to it.

Apparently you were not aware you must not even quote statistics naming Jewish people, witness:
There are about six million Jewish people living in America, so as a percentage it’s quite small, but in terms of influence it’s quite big... In terms of money and influence, yep, they are a very powerful lobby... The Jewish lobby with its link to the Israeli government is one of those strong voices.

which sounds exactly the same as information given concerning the Gun Lobby or the Ancient order of Hibernians.

Please read what I said. I did NOT say I was a Farage supporter.I merely said that all the speeches he has made publicly never mentioned the Jewish people. That is true. He makes speeches almost every day, just for your information. I hold firm to that and too bad if you choose to disagree. He spends most of his time going on and on about the boat arrivals and the incompetence of the Labour government.
I am certainly not anti semitic, that is a joke and if you knew me it would be blaringly obvious. I love my son in law and his family.

I merely said that all the speeches he has made publicly never mentioned the Jewish people. That is true.

That is NOT true.

In a 2017 LBC interview, Nigel Farage discussed US political lobbies in response to a caller comparing Russian influence to others. He said: "There are about six million Jewish people living in America, so as a percentage it’s quite small, but in terms of influence it’s quite big... In terms of money and influence, yep, they are a very powerful lobby... The Jewish lobby with its link to the Israeli government is one of those strong voices.".

He may have mentioned the Jewish lobby in the US and furthermore it’s true what he says, he wasn’t being antisemitic by saying something that’s true in the US.The Jewish lobby there is indeed powerful.

And for those who bleat about how terrible anti semitism is but support Farage, you should really have a serious word with yourself about what the far right are all about.

I utterly agree!

Farage is a British Trump. Talks in sound bites aimed to secure popular appeal and demonises minorities to whip up community disorder.
He is ready to be whatever people want him to be - in simple terms - the jodhpur and tweed wearing fox hunting supporter for the countryside voters and the flat cap pint hugging figure for the working class townies. He can’t be both! He has spent more time in America than he has in his own constituency. Nobody can evidence any improvement he has made to the people in his constituency - yet believes he could run the country!
He has fiddled the system all his life and spouted bile about minorities at school and on his on line videos. He will do anything for money and anything for power. Like Trump he is morally bankrupt - relies on the gullible and poorly educated people he appeals to.

For ANYONE thinking of voting Reform (I presume, on the desperate basis that they're not called Labour or Tories??) -- DO bear in mind 1) the hopeless fiasco that the Reform mob are making of running Kent, since elected to win the County Council; 2) Farage's disgusting support, over many years, of neo or actual Nazi beliefs; 3) His idolisation of the Great Orange Baboon, whose list of disasters since entering the White House - then illegally demolishing part of it! - is well known but far too long for this thread; 4) His relentless support for, and eventual 'triumph' over Brexit . . . .strange he's been quiet about how well that's been going? Just make a start on those, there's more . . .

Scenario: you vote for NF because you think "Britain is Broken" - but after you've given Farage a go at fixing it, you're likely to wake up one morning & think "Britain is now Obliterated".

Who supports Farage? Haven’t seen anything of the kind on here tho people have every right to vote and support those who they like, even the barking Polanski.
As for ‘bleating’ about antisemitism would anyone on here say that? The word bleating sounds very sneering 🤬Surely the word ‘complaining’ would be used? People who use bleating always use it to imply there is no reason to complain.
I’m Jewish and would never use ‘bleating about Islamaphobia’ for instance.
I find the use of the word very telling.

Oreo Mon 13-Apr-26 22:40:43

I think everyone on here knows what the far right are all about.

twaddle Mon 13-Apr-26 22:47:15

I've read quite a lot of posts and I don't agree that everybody knows what the far right is all about. I even read some posts denying that any such thing as the far right exists in the UK.

Oreo Mon 13-Apr-26 22:54:41

I find that very hard to believe twaddle
It doesn’t exist of course in any governmental way, which maybe is what you’re confusing their comments with.
Just as the far left exists but isn’t in any position (same as the far right )to do anything.

twaddle Tue 14-Apr-26 05:13:15

I don't think I'm the one who is confusing anything.

Whaver you think of Mr Farage, he and Zia Yusef are the only real hope we have of saving Britain so get over yourselves and look at what the future may hold if we carry on as we are.

Allira Tue 14-Apr-26 22:54:07

so get over yourselves

What does that mean exactly, please?

Maybe you would be so kind as to explain this post.

What does Britain need saving from? What does the future hold? And what is it about carrying on as we are which needs changing?

I'm afraid I haven't seen any evidence at all that Farage and Yusuf are any hope for anything. I can't think of any way they would improve the lives of the vast majority of people in the UK.

I have been reading and listening to, how fascist the tech bros are and how they pour money into fascist parties, like AfD , Trump and so forth.

Farage is apparently the latest beneficiary, particularly from Bit Coin.

Go graciemabel, carry on standing up for Reform and braving the wrath which will undoubtedly descend upon your head like it has on mine!

For very good reasons.
