His opportunism is bad enough.

But never forget that this is the same Nigel Farage who allegedly made hissing noises and whispered "Hitler was right" to a Jewish contemporary at school.

Things he has NEVER apologised for.

A reminder that the man who tackled one of the gunmen in an attempt to save lives was Ahmed Al Ahmed.
This was an anti-semitic terror attack. It is not an excuse for the likes of Farage to stoke more division. It's exactly why we need less of it.

Fraser Nelson is the latest Farage apologist to dismiss the racism allegations against him, saying that there's never been any evidence of him ever being racist as an adult.

Just completely untrue. There is extensive undeniable evidence of it www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...
Nigel Farage Is a Racist
The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda

This is very good. If Reform win the GE, it'll be too late for those who voted for them to say, like this disillusioned Reform member: "I thought they were going to come and change everything. And all they’re doing is coming in and tearing people’s lives apart.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...?

Four hours after the hero's name was released

BBC News still calling him 'member of the public'

His name is Ahmed el Ahmed
He's a Muslim
How many Jewish lives did his heroism save?

Every horror we're seeing in Trump's America will take root in the UK if Farage becomes PM. From racist oppression to blatant corruption to anti-vaxxing to Christian nationalism to support for Russia to hostility towards on Europe ... It will all be used by Farage to divide and rule us.

On Dulwich school trips, Nigel Farage and the other smokers took the ‘Belsen Bus’

The Reform leader was performatively racist at Dulwich College, recalls a contemporary who claims to have heard him sing a song celebrating the Holocaust

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned.

Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

Tommy Robinson and his far right goons are holding a carol service to honour the birth of a displaced Middle Eastern refugee who started a religion that explicitly emphasized a belief in universal love, peace and tolerance over earthly nations and division.

Please remember this next time you hear Nigel Farage and Reform say we must leave the ECHR to control our borders
🚨 “Can I tell you how many times in the last 45 years the European Court of Human Rights has ruled against the UK when it comes to deporting people from this country - only 13 times - in 45 years”

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.”

Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.

The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

It would be good if this got even a fraction of the coverage devoted to the endless debate about boats, flags and Turkish barber shops

Autism is a spectrum because it includes autistic people who have no visible signs of autism, autistic people who have every stereotypical visible sign of autism & autistic people who fall everywhere in between.

We all exist. We are all valid. And we are all deserving of support.
