Course he is. Probably gave him a bit of a boost in certain circles.

Not really surprising. His entire political career has been defined by accusations of bigotry, it wouldn’t make sense for it to just start being a point of concern after these recent allegations came up.

We know what Farage is like, he’s not changed in years. Why would additional evidence of him being him change anything?

Of course he is, people who like him are very often racist too…

He could be a baby eating sexual predator and his devoted followers would still love him.

People are probably skeptical about it all coming out now when Farage has been in politics since the 90s and while Reform lead the polls.

It’s just like trump. There are more closeted racists than we would like to admit.

Starmer and the left have been hounding Farage for something he apparently said 50 years ago as a silly child, but they roll out the red carpet for anti white, anti western, antisemitic Egyptian activist who said these things in his early 30s back in 2013 and yes the tories were also involved in starting the negotiations too btw. Labour finished it though.
Make it make sense.
Why is this nonsense about Farage only coming out now? Is that because the lefties are absolutely shitting themselves that he could actually find himself in number 10
Lenny Henry has also been pretty vocal and called Farage out, but what was he doing 50 years ago I wonder? Ah Thats right, he was a prominent performer in the “Black & White Minstrel Show back in 1975.
I am honestly laughing at the absolute hypocrisy of all this.
Oh and just for good measure I am also gay and I have Jewish heritage too.

Because it’s baked in.
The stuff about his past isn’t new, and even if it was, did anyone genuinely think the guy who’s be harping on about immigration for the last 20 years *didn’t* hold any racist views?

Shouldn’t we be calling to deport him to Africa or somewhere over this?

England is, by and large, a right wing country. So I’m not sure why this would be surprising.

Of course he is. About 1/3 of humans are absolute bellends so he will always have some support.

At this point, a lot of people don’t care if they are called racist anymore. It’s a label that has been used maliciously to silence critics of the cross-party mass immigration regime and people who rightfully believe that not all cultures are equal to our own. As a consequence a lot of genuine racism is going to be overlooked, which is a shame, but not really that troubling. If the establishment wanted to avoid racism, all they had to do was stop importing sex trafficking gangs, terrorists, and other deviants.

A lot of people vote for Farage*because* he’s racist.
Nuthetes on
I’d expect his popularity to drop if he WASN’T racist, tbh.

Hes popular because of racism claims.
His fans see past Russian collusion in the name of hate.
Its like the Trump cult.
CaptMelonfish on
Look at it this way, if reform fails farage will become a travelling monorail salesman, he’ll earn a mint.
Mainly because a lot of his followers are as thick as mince racists.

Yeah cause most people with even half a brain cell know it’s a load of bollocks. Let’s argue about a comment that was made years ago that has no relevance what so ever while the guy actually running the country is giving citizenship to a guy that hates all whites and wants us all dead but that’s ok we don’t have feelings or even matter these days so don’t worry about that
Viscerid on
Labour just this last week have fought to liberate a jihadist from foreign prison, gave him citizenship and brought him here. Someone openly advocating for the murder of white non-muslims among other groups.. so yeah if these are one side of the political spectrum then having people go to the other side isn’t a surprise. At least he isn’t importing in people preaching for their murder.
Trundlenator on
How many people were surprised by the claims of him being racist though?
I think it’s pretty clear across the country that he’s considered racist so when these claims came out it wouldn’t have surprised his critics, and his supporters already don’t care if he’s racist, so the stories didn’t really reveal anything new people cared about.
HeadBat1863 on
The people who Farage is popular with despite his documented racism are also consumers of media services who’ve always played down his documented racism.

Says as much about his supporters as it does about him

It is such a pathetic attack line trying to use something he may or may not have said as a child in school nearly 50 years ago.
