How tf is “openly racist man was historically racist” news?
I mean about a decade ago [one of his policies would effectively legalise racism so…](https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-31846453.amp)
I want to go back to the timeline where enough people can see this 🤡 for the grifter he is.
As much as I love to slag reform and farage. Trying to make a story about something he said in the school playground 45 years ago is weak.
Who cares. Farage only exists to force the current gov to lean further to the right. Ukip and reform only exist if labour lean to far to the left.
When I saw the headline I was *sure* it’d be a tabloid or one of those unreliable newspapers that are more about entertainment than news.
But no, it’s the Guardian.
This is just stupid. We know he was racist. He knows he was racist. Even the random people who support him are well aware he was racist. What arguments over this topic have occurred have been about whether the decades old racism is relevant when you have days old racism to use as ammo. I quite literally do not know anybody who is unaware of who and what he is.
Is it a slow news week? Is it the first week in probably years where nothing is happening anywhere? Who thought it was a good idea to write an article to do the political equivalent of writing thousands of words to say water is wet?
This line of attack will likely bolster his support amongst the people he already apeals too.
I believe the multiple witnesses, over someone who willing write giant lies on the side of buses to deceive the public.
Add to the fact, that his racism at school was reported way back in 2013. This is not new story.
[Nigel Farage schooldays letter reveals concerns over fascism](https://www.channel4.com/news/nigel-farage-ukip-letter-school-concerns-racism-fascism)
Judging anyone by what they did at school before they reached maturity would be fundamentally unfair. The guy is in his sixties, his school days were a looong time ago. Criticise and debate policy to identify the flaws? Nah, let’s attack people for the words they spoke decades ago when they were a kid, that’s way more productive 🙄
Farage has been openly racist while working as a MP let alone in his pre MP life or personal life. So I’m inclined to believe anyone who does forward to tell me they have been around him/ heard/seen or experienced him being racist.
He is a horrible little troll man.
Its his racist present that I’m more worried about
He’s 61. I frankly don’t give a toss what he said or did 44 years ago, when he was 17.
There’s plenty enough to criticise him about that he’s done during his political career. That’s what I’m focusing on.
The lying man who is known for lying is likely the one lying.
I allege he has a racist present, and likely a racist future.
His friends have connections to Russia for the love of god stop voting for reform
Have they not yet realised that calling anyone racist, let alone Nigel Farage has totally lost any power it once had?
The desperation to do anything other than address the reasons why Reform is gaining popularity is depressingly familiar. Shouting names at them is not going to do anything.
I’m sure he does but so what? The G/Indy can keep trying to make a big deal out of this and try to hurt Farage with it, but it won’t work. The stereotypical man in the pub doesn’t care that someone was an edgy racist 40 years ago.
What I did,thought or said 20, 30 or 40 years ago has no bearing on the person I am today, thoughts and views changes as does the time!!!
Labour are taxing you into such poverty and you think people care about what a 61yr old man may have said 44yrs ago…it’s another weak story originating from an already “caught lying” BBC….
He’s fucking racist now, it shouldn’t be a shocker that he’s always been a racist cunt
Let’s do his whole past though. We seem to have short memories here, we had this cunt pegged for a vicious charlatan 15-20 years ago.
Better question: who cares? Judge the professional politician on his political career. It’s not like there isn’t plenty of material.
Has this barking dog barked in the past? The dog (between barks) denies barking. The neighbours disagree. Who to believe.
I can see the contrary downplaying here to quasi defend him as they know 20 accusations can’t be swatted away.
I mean I know Farage is a habitual liar but c’mon; he must be telling the truth here, right guys?
