Farage promoting racist and anti semitic vids

There is another thread running on this - for info.

Whoever votes for him is every bit as misguided as those who voted for Trump. All they are really voting for is hatred.

I really didn’t need to see this to know that Farage is an odious and highly dangerous individual but others might need to see this, especially those who think Farage is just a good guy against excessive immigration.
The man is a vile racist and anti semite.
And I am not just bandying those terms around here. Look at the link before you judge.

Its the Guardian though 🤔

Meandrogrog it may be a Guardian article but the videos are fact, they exist, they are Cameo videos, videos that Farage makes for profit.

His anti semitic taunts, made to his then school mates, have been discussed in many publications.
Should be easy enough to find.
Hateful comments.

Meandrogog 09.23: "Its the Guardian though 🤔"

The right wing media outlets, that are supportive of right wing Farage, clearly chose not to publish the factual content evidencing Farage's fascist, anti semitic video content. That is not surprise to many Mendrogog but may be to you. The videos are available in the Guardian link however for anyone to view.

It is also not a surprise to many that the factual content evidencing Farage's fascist, anti semitic video content was published by the centrist/left leaning Guardian but it appears to to be to you 🤔

Given that the Guardian does indulge in fake news, I see no reason to doubt the authenticity of the clips which literally speak for themselves.

The Guardian is not and never has been the left wing equivalent of The Daily Mail.

Tbh they're no worse than what I would expect from him & some of them probably represent carelessness rather than actual endorsement (road rage trip for example).
But the lack of attention to detail that misleads him into posting & repeating slogans for a violent extremist group, doesn't bode well if he ever does become PM - I don't think he will, not in this country, we're not the US.
Also it's good that Farage gets some scrutiny of this kind, given the minute relentless nit-picking Starmer has always been subjected to. It should be mentioned on platforms like the BBC given that we're told there is a chance Farage may end up as PM in the not so distant future.

Given that the Guardian does indulge in fake news
Yes you're right, it does occasionally.

I was so annoyed by a piece of fake news, or perhaps a piece of news which was extremely economical with the truth once, I did write in indignation but never heard any more. It was about a situation about which I knew the facts and the story was embellished by the reporter to sensationalise it.

However, I doubt they would fake this, it is too big a story and they know they could be sued.

I don't really see how it could be faked. The Cameo videos are there for everybody to see as evidence.

Quite easily as some so-called 'Cameo' videos have been proven to be AI generated.

However, the Guardian would have checked very carefully, I think. Is he really that stupid?

Ok, I’ll relax and vote Reform if the Guardian is libelling that nice Mr Farrage,

Their leaflet arrived, it promises a golden land.

There we are then, all is well

Mine's in the recycling bin, keeping company with that nice Mr Polanski.

Magenta8 10.21: 'The Guardian is not and never has been the left wing equivalent of The Daily Mail".

I wasn't specifically comparing Guardian to DM but if so here goes:

"The Daily Mail is a UK-based, right-wing tabloid with a strong conservative bias, frequently criticised for sensationalism, poor fact-checking, and inaccurate reporting. Wikipedia banned it as an unreliable source, and media trackers often flag its content for high bias and low reliability.

Fact-Checking and Reliability
Reputation: The Daily Mail is widely considered unreliable by media critics and has been accused of printing sensationalist and inaccurate stories, particularly in science and medical research.
Wikipedia Ban: In 2017, Wikipedia editors decided the paper is "generally unreliable" and prohibited its use as a source in most cases, advising it be replaced with more reliable sources.
Fact-Checking Samples: Analysis shows instances of high-bias, low-reliability content, often focusing on polarizing political topics or sensationalist angles.


Bias and Perspective
Political Lean: It is firmly right-wing and supports the UK Conservative Party.
AllSides Rating: AllSides rates the Daily Mail as "Right" in political bias.
Coverage Style: It often uses clickbait headlines and emotional language to drive engagement, focusing on stories designed to trigger strong reactions.

The Guardian is generally rated as having a left-leaning (liberal) bias and is considered highly reliable/factual in its reporting, often featuring in-depth analysis and investigative journalism. It is a prominent UK-based publication known for its progressive stance on social issues, though its opinion section is more strongly left-leaning than its news reporting.

Bias and Reliability Ratings
Ad Fontes Media: Rates The Guardian as "Skews Left" and "Reliable, Analysis/Fact Reporting" on their media bias chart.
AllSides: Rates the paper as "Lean Left" based on a 2021 blind survey, where a broad consensus saw the news content as consistently left-leaning.
Trust Ratings: In a 2018 survey, 84% of readers trusted the digital content, and it has often been cited as one of the most trusted British quality news brands.

Key Findings on Reporting
Editorial Stance: It is known to be progressive, supporting causes such as LGBT rights and workers' rights, and often provides critical coverage of conservative governments.
News vs. Opinion: While investigative reporting is considered high quality, the line between news and opinion can sometimes be blurred in online articles, leading to perceptions of ideological bias.
Criticism: Some readers perceive it as overly ideological, leading to accusations of bias from the right, particularly on social issues, while maintaining a large, trusting readership.
Overall, The Guardian is recognised for publishing factual news content but operates with a clear, progressive, and left-leaning editorial stance.

There have been quite a lot of them. To be honest, I don't think Farage is that stupid. IMO he thinks a lot of himself and thinks many people agree with him on all matters. He doesn't care if some of what he says offends people, so it wouldn't occur to him that some of the videos are very "on the edge".

Yes. I think arrogant is the word to describe him.
