He's got his head so far up Trumps arse he can't think straight.
Let him do his thing. Getting attention is proving more difficult these days and he's resorting to more strident language and tactics to get media time.

He'll inadvertently hit the self-destruct button sooner or later.

Nigel is an absolute buffoon
I used to think that - the thing is using words like buffoon to describe him and his ilk (Trump, Hopkins et al.) trivialises them somehow, makes them sound silly and ineffective.

Unfortunately they are becoming very effective - they're actually hate filled, spiteful and very dangerous people.

Well I, for one, can't stand Farage or Hope Not Hate.

Everything about Farage sickens me. It's a shame there are people in this country that are dumb enough to be taken in by his lies.

Totally agree Penny

It's very easy to come out with populist claptrap when you have no responsibility.

Trump is about to gain more responsibility than anyone could ever hope to take on. Now is the time to sit back and watch the fireworks.

So Farage threatening unrest on the streets if Brexit doesn't happen means UKIP are an extremist group then
"threatened"?


Do you realise this is the sort of lie/spin that leads people towards Farage not away from?

He didn't say Brendan Cox is an extremist.
He implied that Brendan Cox supports an extremist group (Hope not Hate).
Hope not hate are an extremist group.
There isn't really anymore to discuss.
It's not really a surprise to see you attack a group that campaigns against racism and fascism.

No, I think there might be.

Hope not Hate are not an extremist group.
Maybe not but some of their supporters sure as heck are. They actively support violence against groups they oppose. Some of the comments one the Facebook page wouldn't look out of place on an extremist site.

You mean the same sort of spin that Brexiteers used when they claimed Obama "threatened" the UK with being at the back of the queue for a trade deal?

No one has ever claimed that Farage is an expert on apportioning blame but Farage is entitled to his opinions just as you and I are.
Oh my. The irony.

Statement from Hope Not Hate:

We are aware of a serious and potentially libellous statement made about HOPE not hate by Nigel Farage on LBC radio this morning. We have no idea on what Mr Farage bases his outrageous comments. HOPE not hate has a proud history of campaigning against extremism and hatred.

We will not be making any further comment until we have had the opportunity to consult with our lawyers.

Yes! Both are wrong.

But thanks for the whataboutery, maybe you'd like to include the "promise" on the side of a bus next time as another example of how each side twists stuff when they are preaching to the converted?

Because Obama did issue that threat, Farage didn't issue the threat he's accused of.

Indeed not. He's far too savvy to be direct with such suggestions.

Once again Farage is right. 'Hate not Hope' are an extremist organisation and it is time they are called out for what they really are.

These people really hate freedom of speech too. They even banned me from their Facebook site just for pointing out that UKIP had an active LGBTQ group. I guess it didn't go with their hateful rhetoric towards UKIP.

It was so funny to see them get a taste of their own medicine when they got no platformed by the NUS (not that i support the NUS for doing so) :

It's that which irks the liberalista lefty Remnants.

LBC is such a naff station, but then it's Global.

Ferrari/Farage meld into one. As ghastly as each other.


To be fair, they do have presenters from right across the political spectrum. On what other station would you find both Hopkins and Galloway doing shows?. I bloody love James O Brien btw. There are rumours of Jeremy Corbyn doing a regular phone in too.

But you said Farage issued a threat, care to publicly apologise to Mr. Farage?

He's right about Hope Not Hate though. A vile ironically named organisation with some very dodgy members. It's why I donated money to the Royal Voluntary Service and the White Hats directly rather than the JO Cox Foundation itself as I didn't what "Hope Not Hate" getting a penny of my money.
If you mean 'The White Helmets' then you're donating money to Islamo-fascist ambulance drivers - nice one.

Sorry, no you didn't but it's not easy to separate individuals from a mindset.
