Farage has been a known nazi sympathiser since his school days, so let's not pretend that his supporters feel any differently.

Or he was in his school days. Is there anything nazi-like from his time as a grown up?

Apart from his continued anti-immigrant rhetoric? His use of nazi imagery?

If you are a reformed Nazi, you don't keep most of the opinions you held, but dress them up for polite society.

What nazi imagery?

Hasn't he been calling for an Australian style system rather than being outright anti-immigrant? Either way, you can be against uncontrolled immigration and nazis

Watch from 6.00 to 6.50 for an amusing brief misunderstanding where Farage thinks Murray is defending the George Floyd incident and tips his hand. In brief, Marray says (incorrectly to be honest, but anyway) that "no one defends what that officer did" and he means that in the sense of no one should/can and they don't, but Farage seemingly takes it to mean that it's unfair that no one defends it and that someone should, until he earnestly asks "would you defend it?" and gets a shocked reaction from the other guy.

He quite blatantly wanted the guy to say that people should be defending the officers in that situation but are "too scared to do that" - not realising that even this nob thinks that incident was indefensible. Heh.

Probably the most sucessful politcal figure of the last 10 years

Could lead to quite an awkward conversation for anyone supporting Farage, if they had a Jewish friend.

[user104658]

To be fair I don't agree with judging people on crap they said as a teenager; I know someone who is an asylum lawyer at a non-profit who loved a racist joke or 20 at school. Teenagers come out with all sorts of absolute nonsense that they're horrified by as adults.

That said, there are plenty of indications at the very least that Farage hasn't changed his spots much since those days, given the stuff that he's STILL coming out with.

and while we are at it, also on topic since Trans was in discussion too, this is what Farage said about that back in 2017

There's only so many ways a big line of people can be portrayed, so it's probably a coincidence.

[Nicky91]

that brexit party too, lots of problematic people in it

Ann Widdecombe, Piers Corbyn, those elitist Grant Sisters (Alice, Beatrice)

they all fit in well with Farage, and also most of those have been caught on either racism, transphobia, homophobia, elitism

I think it's a problem that an important cause has been hijacked by a movement which constantly riots and leaves a trail of destruction

Yes he makes the point that all social justice movements start off with good intension and then get enveloped in personal gain, corruption and getting way, way off course

Or, you've allowed yourself to believe that's the case to undermine a cause you don't really like.

I don't like any cause which consistently destroys so much. Why would anyone like such a movement - because they agree with their name?

Nigel pulling "the old double bluff"

crafty

Reopened this after deleting a pile of posts, can you all please stick to the topic and not each other, thanks

Imagine thinking buildings are more important than people

Everyone knows buildings are nowhere near as important as people. But there is a debate to be had as far as the 'are the protests being handled and demonstrated correctly'. It just paints a bad picture when local businesses, cars, and other property is needlessly be destroyed.

What if an innocent person got trapped in one of the burning buildings for example?

I think most people who ask the question, know a human life matters more than a building, but is it really necessary to burn down a local shop? What does that achieve?

[Cherie]

If it’s your place of work and your arse is parked on the dole because the building has burned down, that building is quite important...no?
