Bernard Manning would vote reform
Imagine the reaction to allegations that Corbyn had made hissing gas noises to Jewish kids as a schoolboy - and then if he had responded to those allegations by shouting 'Bernard Manning!' at the journalists
The radio silence about Farage from people who are usually supremely vocal about antisemitism is so so telling.

The UK's 156 billionaires own £772 billion. That's more than the GDP of Switzerland. Meanwhile, 14 million people live in poverty.
Will taxing billionaires help reduce poverty? Yes.
Will the government listen? No, because the billionaires are paying them not to.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... brilliant from @willhaycardiff.bsky.social I'd say getting the C word treatment from Reform is a badge of honour and clear sign of what the people of Wales would be stark raving mad to elect into power. Mae hyn yn wych Will.

Rather than apologising for his antisemitism, Farage demands the BBC apologise for the antisemitism of Alf Garnett, a fictional character created to satirise antisemitism, who was portrayed by a Jewish man.

Alan Sked has alleged Farage used various n-word slurs in 1997, aged 33, not 13 or 17. It would be useful to get a categorical denial or a more equivocal one to be clear about what Farage in 2025 is saying & denying about his use of racial insults as so-called "banter" & when that had ended
