Good. This slippery fucker needs to have the screws turned on him.
Bit of a weird thing to threaten though, like how would reporting a crime that happened to someone else (that you weren’t present for, or privy to) work exactly?
Pity Labour isn’t so keen about reporting the corruption of their sorry group of crooks and incompetents
It should be reported as matter of national security. Can’t have foreign entities hacking a leader of a party topping the polls. Surely Farage will be very keen to report this and have the perpetrators brought to account. Right?
Seems to be a lot of anti Farridge stuff in the MSM. Makes me wonder why now. There’s a bit of me thinking rubbishing RefashUK is about getting Burnham back into Westminster where he’ll trigger a leadership challenge. If Burnham wins it will be the death of labour which I think is what the MSM are being paid to achieve… Maybe I should put my tin foil hat back on…
He should’ve already done it when it happened. He didn’t. Therefore either 1) he’s lying and/or 2) he’s a massive national security risk.
I’m still annoyed that he successfully managed to pivot the story from “somebody gave me £5mil for shady reasons” to “It was the Russians!”
I think it’s incredibly mean of other parties and the few remaining media outlets not controlled by foreign billionaires to scrutinise his £5m ~~security~~ reward when it was clearly a Russian hack that exposed it. I’m all for transparency but not if it’s against a cause I support, or there’s some immorality involved, like Russian hacks. just don’t look into the Russian hacks that definitely happened. Or my Buddhist mate’s nazi tattoo.
(obligatory /s if it wasn’t obvious)
We’re in dangerous territory here. I am by no means a Reform or Farage supporter but I am ex-job. Politicians using the Police and/or Judiciary to try and deal with their opposition is exactly what is happening in the U.S. I do not want that here from either side.
Any situation where Politicians are trying to get one up on their rivals by using the Police just doesn’t sit well with me. The Police are impartial. Instead of going to The Guardian to make a threat, just make the report to the Police. They will investigate and if there are offences they will deal with it. The threat is political theatre and totally unnecessary.
