I felt mixed about his opinions in that video.

I do feel like the "he doesn't understand our culture" statement was referring to Rishi's Indian heritage, that's definitely my perception anyway.

But I do agree with him that Rishi should've been at the D-Day Memorial.

And what are the stats on young Muslims getting radicalized? Because I do feel like Religious extremism is on the rise, but I don't know if that's just the Internet feeding into my anti-organized Religion sentiment.

Ostensibly he was referring to the fact that Sunak is a city-of-London neoliberal globalist. But yes I imagine it was also a dogwhistle reference to his skin colour for that "certain" flavour of Farage fan.

You probably have a point about the Neoliberal Globalist stuff tbf.

I think one thing is for sure, is that he said it in a way where it can be interpreted to make people think about Sunak in that kind of way, which imo is a below the belt thing to do.

Nigel Farage on Rishi Sunak: "He didn't even understand what leaving D-Day means to
people. It is your classic Winchester, Oxbridge, Goldman Sachs view of the world. He just
does not have a connection with ordinary people"

Default Press conference summary

Nigel Farage said the UK is “skint” and steps must be taken to boost economic growth as Reform UK reiterated its pledge to increase the income tax threshold to Ł20,000.

Mr Farage said the national debt had ballooned under the Conservative Party’s watch, with tens of billions of pounds having to be spent on debt interest.

Speaking at a press conference in central London, the Reform leader said: “We need to face up to one or two realities. We are skint. And it is getting worse. And at some point in time we may even have trouble issuing gilts, issuing government bonds unless the market sees that we have got some solutions.

“And that is why the only way out is growth and I think what Richard [Tice] has just set out, in particular putting up the tax threshold to Ł20,000 would be a very, very big step in the right direction.”

The threshold at which people currently start to pay income tax is Ł12,570 but Reform want to lift it to Ł20,000.

Mr Tice said the move would leave the average person about Ł1,500 better off a year. It would also take seven million people out of paying income tax altogether, he said.

“I work in banking and capital markets and hearing Nigel Farage and Richard
Tice talking about financials competently is a breath of fresh air. Both know the
commercial realities of running the country.”

Allan Edmunds

“Raising the VAT threshold to 150K and the personal allowance to 20K is a very
shrewd move, which alone will raise the GDP of the country – and thereby
reduce the debt to GDP ratio. It will also increase economic output and
productivity. At last, some proper leadership.”

Andrew Hicks

“Thank goodness that one party is talking about saving our hard-earned
monies. All the others seem to think that they have a God-given right to
throw it around like confetti. How about stopping to pay such ridiculous
benefits and get everyone back to work?”

That was the policy & plan until they invaded Poland (whom Britain had a defensive treaty with), we just like to pretend it was all much more noble than that as a nice bit of historical revisionism. British Aristocracy was totally prepped to cosy up with a largely Nazi-led Continental Europe.

More-or-less the same with the US 'cept it was Japan's aggressive tactics in East Asia that triggered them to start getting involved.

They'll get a handful of seats if that. It's all a bit silly isn't it.
