Now why doesn't that comment surprise me, coming from you?
I've no idea, perhaps some suggestions might help.

Because Obama did issue that threat, Farage didn't issue the threat he's accused of.
No, a warning is not a threat.

Farage is an extremist himself anyway.

Yes violence, it was a hope not hate activist who was convicted of assaulting Farage in Margate.
Their hate campaign against UKIP at the last election also led to some old aged pensioners getting attacked.
Hope not Hate are a violent extremist group that lives on the edge of legality (very much like the BNP and Britain 1st).
And what of Tom Andrews, Jack Clarkson, Mike Hookem, etc.? If violent members of an organisation make that organisation "extremist" then surely UKIP must also fall into that category? (or does it not apply to them?)

Keep going, exude that passion for equality, fairness and inclusivity.

When it's UKIP, it's only "banter" and being "one of the lads".

LBC presenter Farage made these comments while talking to another right wing LBC presenter (the tabloid hack who is paid to mumble while Commuters are waiting for essential traffic updates).

If he has gone too far we can only hope that the people with the real power can boot him off the station. The Advertisers.....or their customers.

I am not a fan of Farage, but the speech quoted by the OP does not say what the OP accuses him of saying.

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.
Yep everyone is entitled to demonstrate that they are a total knob end.
However not many of us rush to broadcast that fact beyond dispute.

Well, not unless we can do it anonymously. A lot of people who post on here are examples of that.

I heard the Ferrari/Farage interchange this morning on the radio. It was sickening. Farage's comments were repulsive and Ferrari's sycophancy pitiful. It was not the best example of responsible radio. Ferrari should be ashamed of himself. Farage has no shame, he is a nasty little self-publicist and rabble rouser.
Has farage lied about anything?

Does Brendan Cox still work as chief strategist at Save the Children? He never seems to talk about them anymore.

I have no idea. I guess his life was sort of turned upside down in June when his wife was murdered in cold blood by a right wing lunatic. I would imagine a lot of his time is spent nurturing and caring for his own two children who've been left without a mother.

Chief Strategist is quite a demanding role - he's probably had to re prioritise things in his life.

Why is it a concern to you whether he's still in the job or not or whether he 'talks about it' ?

Many many things, both little ones and big fat ones. James O Brien gave some very specific ( and provable) examples the other day on his show..

Ahh, so now we have Kippers digging up his past...

Let's counter by seeing how many unsavoury things we can find in Farage's past.

I'm a kipper? News to me. I'm not defined by my politics thanks. The point I was making was he left before this year - nothing more, nothing less.

So Farage threatening unrest on the streets if Brexit doesn't happen means UKIP are an extremist group then
He didn't threaten violence he was predicting what would happen

No he resigned following allegations of "inappropriate behavious" towards women employees. He denied the accusations but apparently quietly sauntered off from his extremely well-paid job, shortly to be followed by the chief executive who, in some reports, left for different reasons, whilst others say it was for failing to deal with complaints against Cox and the threat of the women making a big thing about it.

I remember the case at the time but if it passed you (and others) by, Google is your friend.

Ooh it's a game?

I thought you'd already started with the "threatened" post.


You just can't see how similar to the UKIPers you are do you? Anything that goes against your chosen political stance you both attack with hatred, lies and insinuation. Really like two peas from the same pod, except they don't try to act holier than thou while spitting out their bile.
