Its not just racisn/anti semitism etc, ask the question about his treratment of over half the world's population, ie women. I used to watch him as an MEP in the European Parliam,ent and how he treated wome-with rudeness and worse. The man is evil; he has one interest- money and power. None of us matter.
The new racism, the successor to Powell’s works mainly by hints, winks and dog whistles. The infamous “Breaking Point “ poster is the most telling. As was much mentioned at the time, it was a visual calque of a Nazi propaganda film. Perhaps Farage didn’t know that (or did he?). It’s almost as scary if he didn’t, because it reveals the same Nazi mindset in the most graphic way. A bit of indirect evidence there that his mind hasn’t changed.
Farage is like Johnson an inveterate liar for decades. Natural intelligence tells you not to believe a word that is emitted from their mouths. At the least to be highly sceptical that anything they say is primarily/entirely for self promotion and untrue/lies. The facts clearly imply he has been a racist for many decades, he certainly is now.
Liked, restacked & shared to Bluesky as usual. Farage is a poisonous, racist, xenophobic POS (apologies to faeces, which is at least useful as fertilizer). His politics has caused the UK untold damage, which will linger for many years to come.
Yet the mainstream media (mostly I blame the once independently-minded BBC) still gives him the oxygen of airtime. What will it take for the truth of Farage's attitudes (and the dangers they pose) to become clear to the deluded who follow him as a saviour of the nation? How can he be stopped when he is given so much uncritical prominence?
BBC should ignore every utterance from Farage or Tice. Instead of repeatedly giving them airtime. Farage is one mp talking rubbish to suit his own ends. Which lack compassion and care for others.
Since the Thatcher "reforms" in the 1980s, the fruits of UK economic growth have been funnelled to the wealthy through lower taxes. This failed to increase the growth rate, but forced ongoing cuts in government speeding - "austerity" - ever since. While the wealthy have flourished (capital grows itself) we have impoverished the 99%, who are increasingly hopeless and fed up. In this state they will vote for anyone who seems to care and knows whose fault it is - immigrants are a great scapegoat - so we have created the ideal opportunity for Farage to exploit. But if we had invested in public services, built enough houses, shared the benefits of GDP growth more evenly, the country would be much happier - and we'd have coped with immigrants more comfortably. If more money goes to the less well off they spend it, creating more economic growth - but less inequality. When too much goes to the very rich they mess with politics and drive up the ludicrous prices of art collections. See 99-percent.org for explanation and the way forward.
Garbage is a symptom of the growing disease from FPTP no longer being fit for purpose. He has always been a snivelling "yes"-man to the wealthy and, as he has consistently shown throughout this century, he has neither empathy nor the will to care about anyone or anything that doesn't increase his personal wealth.
I wonder if the people who think Farage would make a good UK PM have forgotten that it was he who instigated BREXIT, before Johnson hopped on the bandwagon. Now, that went well, didn't it? Brexit has delivered stagnation and is a major contributor to our current cost-of-living crisis. To addess one of Matt's earlier points: unfortunately, many people do have short memories.
Farage is nothing but a fire starter. He wants to destroy not build. He took the piss when he was a MEP, ripping us off and trying to destroy the unity of many countries instead of representing us who paid his wages. He gave No Value for our money.
He is a nothing but a destroyer with nothing to offer to make things better. I expect he's been busy organising the gas Chambers and concentration camps, he'll be wearing his new uniform soon?
He should get the same end result as Hitler and Mussolini, sooner rather than later.
Farage is a nasty boy that's never grown up. He is a racist through and through. Illegal immigration, definitely not but legal migrants work in this country and they work hard, look at the NHS. Nigel looks after one person, himself!!
Farage is just an opportunistic liar. Remember that he is married to to German lady, and that he and their two children have joint UK and German Passports
What we could do with is clearer insights into how language is being manipulated to elevate emotive responses whilst concealing/confusing/masking the simple truths behind the emotive jargon. How can Farage, Trump, exHRH, Epstein, Johnson cocoon themselves within protective layers of words that become impenetrable by the sordid facts they conceal? We all need to learn how to counter them. Any suggestions?

And by the way, the quotes you give closely follow the word patterns of his model, demented Donald.

Farage encourages thuggery. He is a blot on society.

Ignoring him is all he deserves.

And that is why the swift adoption of PR is of paramount importance.
So eloquently explained, and so true.
Don't be fooled by Farage, anyone that's best buddies with Trump shouldn't be touched by a bargepole. Very bad news!
