He is no longer a power figure , for sure

He started using "cracked up" when he was deposed for pushing the Sandy Hook conspiracy.

Timing seems quite convenient, especially when he still pushes other conspiracies.

I remember when the Guardian was a decent newspaper, now due to catastrophic falling sales it resorts to dog whistling its small band of readers and begging them for money

Tell that to the board of deputies of British Jews

896,000

That's how many followers he had....a wet fart of an amount compared to famous people.....


So that's 896,000 of the world's population that know him well enough to follow him...

I stand by my prediction.:dance:

Nigel Farage is facing strong criticism from Jewish organisations and a series of other groups after it emerged he repeatedly took part in interviews with a far-right US talkshow host, during which the Brexit party leader openly discussed conspiracy theories, some of which have been linked to antisemitism.
so it doesnt discuss context at all, which believe it or not, is pretty important.

I'm afraid that Farage has a long way to go before he praises terrorists, speaks at terrorist sponsored events and specifically supports anti-semitism in the way that Corbyn has been shown to do, time after time after time.

Farage is a third tier idiot politician. Corbyn is the leader of the opposition and a party that has millions of members. Is the difference not obvious?

That's cool. However, as an example, are the numbers of followers that anyone has, the same number as the people who know what they are or what they do? I don't follow Amir Khan, bur I know what he does for a living.

Standing by your opinion (not prediction) doesn't make it anymore correct than the first time you said it.

oh well

its also in a different article than the guardian

https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com...-us-talk-show/

There are no quotes from Farage about Jews in that article either.

Both are basically saying "this is what he said, but we swear he meant something else!!11"

Let's remember that Nige has a record when it comes to antisemitic remarks.

Here's what The Times of Israel reported at the end of 2017

UK’s Farage says US Jews have disproportionate influence over politics
Right-wing ex-politician’s comments on ‘very powerful’ Israel lobby sparks outrage by anti-Semitism watchdog

some of his words quoted here:

Nigel Farage: Americans Should Worry About The Jews
Nigel Farage has, apparently, now exhausted every avenue of contrarianism, and so in desperation, following in the tradition of the far-right has, as many had previously anticipated, laid the blame upon 'The Jews'.

During a discussion on the involvement of Russia in US elections, he stated that "there’s something Americans should worry about more than Russian meddling: Jews".

“There are other very powerful lobbies in the United States of America, and the Jewish lobby, with its links with the Israeli government, is one of those strong voices,” Farage said on his London-based radio show.

A caller then asked Farage if American lawmakers are "in the pockets" of Israel. To this, Farage said, "In terms of money and influence yes they are a very powerful lobby."

Jewish civil rights groups immediately condemned his comments.

“Nigel Farage’s comments about the role of a powerful ‘Jewish lobby’ in America plays into deep-seated anti-Semitic tropes about supposed Jewish control of government,” Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt told Newsweek. “This is fuel for white supremacists who exploit and spread conspiracy theories about ‘evil, controlling Jews.’”

Conflating a Jewish and Israeli lobby is not only conspiratorial and false, said Greenblatt, but could “have the unintended consequence of encouraging anti-Semites and extremists to exploit them.”
