Cox wasn't on a yacht - he was in a dinghy with his wife and kids.

Farage has done plenty of sticking two fingers up at fishermen himself by not turning up the the EU fisheries committee he's on (and gets paid for).

Why? They are not threatening to sue him because they don't like his opinions, that would be ridiculous. It's because what he said is potentially libellous.

Yeah I figured pointing out that there was fault enough to go round on both sides would be too much for you to process, Carry on labelling if it makes you feel good about yourself.


Read the post I was responding to, it's not brain surgery.

I heard Mr Farage in discussion with Nick F on LBC yesterday and he was critical of Mrs Merkel
Earlier in the morning Nick F said that Nigel had said that things like this would happen and that he felt Mrs M was criminally responsible and i think he said she should face trial .
Cant remember it exactly but it was making me cross
Ferrari must have showed him the tweet , for Nigel F to respond to.

But its a free country and they are entitled to their opinions
As is Brendan Cox


The criticism now is that he was potentially libellous about Hope Not Hate
Ferrari didnt challenge or comment
So they can decide to defend themselves

And good on em for crowd funding

I think it's a great idea, Farage equates support for "Hope not Hate" as support for "extremists", let the courts decide if he's right.
I wonder if there will be violent protest outside on the day....

Oooh I do love a good proverb.

Seemingly the group that attacked UKIP during the referendum campaign were from Hope not Hate.

Aaargh another of those threads where wormwoods come crawling out to say stuff leaves you with only one option...to go away and scrub yourself down with bleach and make generous donations to charities that help those with mental health problems.

I thought Farage wanted his life back?

Now that he isn't UKIP leader anymore (for now), he's in the media more than ever!

The sooner he heads off to The States to become Trump's wig washer & become one of his beloved economic migrants, the better.

The woman on the inflatable boat was described as "unknown" by the press, and looks nothing like his wife.

Are you sure?

And I was responding to a post which was responding to a post referring to Geldof and his infamous 2 fingered salute.

What has Geldof got to do with Cox?

Read the thread. Or at least the last page.

I would suggest that picture is wrongly captioned, and you only see the back of the woman. The close-up photo in this article clearly shows the woman, and it doesn't look like Jo Cox to me.

Potentially libellous - surely that covers nearly everything.
Hope not Hate (and many posters on DS) have said far more potentially libellous things about Farage, UKIP and their supporters.
Should Farage counter sue ?
Are we going to get to the ridiculous situation, whereby only rich and powerful people or organisations are allowed to give their view because they are the only ones who could afford the court action ?

Well, it could cover a lot of things, but their lawyers will need to decide whether this is a case worth taking to court or not.


If he feels he has a case, I suppose he could. Though being rude about politicians is not the same thing as libelling them.


We're already in the situation (and always have been) where only rich people can afford certain kinds of justice.

Hope not hate exaggerating claims of online hate

Because he is not beyond reproach when he aligns himself with or supports such a dubious organization like Hate not Hope

It's in their interest to ramp it up, much like Remoan have done since the 23rd June.

Hope not Hate doesn't look in the least dubious to me. Why would you say that?

Is it because it takes an anti Fascist stance?

Can someone enlighten me please? Are Fascists in fashion now or something? All this talk of patriotism and what our fathers/grandfathers fought for etc.

Has it crossed anyone's mind that they were fighting against exactly what is rearing it's ugly head today.

All very true, but why waste your time talking sense on a thread of this type? This is clearly a hate on Nigel Farage thread with the usual suspects scuttling out of the woodwork and taking the opportunity to spit out their ill informed bile.

Hope not Hate have been spreading fake news for years, "newspapers" like the daily mirror usually just publish their propaganda without any checking whatsoever.

Fascism in Britain? Really? and anyway who appointed them official fascism designators?
