Farage says Reform UK MP who repeatedly kicked girlfriend deserves ‘Christian forgiveness’

Imagine what he’d say if it was a non white who was the accused here

> The conviction came to light in July when the victim’s mother told Mail Online he had “left marks on her body” and “it took two security guards to pull him off her” during the attack outside a nightclub in Chelmsford, Essex.

I wonder how long it will be before other women come forward and report abuse from this man. I very much doubt this was the only violent act in his life.

I am so fucking done with this bloke. He is too dangerous to be anywhere near politics let alone in the Commons. The amount of people I’ve heard voted for him because he spoke to their tune about housing while ignoring everything else set alarm bells ringing. His words are listened to entirely by people who can be persuaded, he knows this, and he knows it when he says shit like abusers should be forgiven, cos it’s Christmas and everything! Nothing that man does or says is Christian or holy.

Supporting a woman beater does seem to be on point for him and his party of cretins

He can’t “deserve” forgiveness if he isn’t genuinely sorry, and if he were genuinely sorry he wouldn’t have tried to minimise it when it first came out. So fuck him, and fuck Farage.

I see the US anti-abortion group that are helping bankroll him are getting their ad reads in.

I’d never heard of this chap before this story broke.

I do believe in second chances, and I believe that if someone has been convicted and done their time that they shouldn’t be continually punished for the rest of their lives.

But they have to expect that if they put themselves forward for positions that will put them in the line light then people will find out about their criminal history, and that will impact on what they can do.

The real question here is, I think, that we need to think about whether we need stricter checks on who can be eligible to stand as an MP.

All candidates should have their criminal records made public. They work for the people who elect them, the people have a right to know their history before casting their vote.

I don’t think anyone “deserves” forgiveness.

In Christianity, forgiveness tends to follow repentance – which is not downplaying your faults.

> James McMurdock admitted he pushed the woman in 2006, having been asked about the incident after winning the Essex seat of South Basildon and East Thurrock in July.

> However, last week The Times reported further details from the court records, which reportedly said he kicked the victim about four times

I’m pretty sure the bible talks about forgiveness, but not forgetness. But also forgiveness is not the absence of consequences.

That much is clear in the bible

Did he apply Christian forgiveness to the poor young lady who split her milkshake on him?

As a Christian, we don’t claim this scumbag or any of his supporters or allies. I can’t wait until he figures out that Jesus wasn’t a white man lol

If we should deliver ‘Christian Forgiveness’ for the man who lied that his girlfriend fell over when pushed, rather than admit to kicking her repeatedly, chalking it up as a ‘teenage indiscretion’, what would Farage make of, say for example, a 15-year-old who joined ISIS?

England is not prepared for the pointed and targeted “Americanisation” (aka bribery, Russification) bad actors like Farage actively involve themselves in.

Brexit is proof of the divide and conquer technique working. In the last week or so I’ve seen Nigel doing his usual sabre rattling, but with a decidedly more “Christian US nationalist” bent to it.

Like this isn’t even the “brand” of English racism, which is all St George’s crosses and “Olde Worlde” “crusade” bullshit interspersed with skinhead terrace culture.

They’re going to adopt this repackaged Gordon Gecko American strong (con)man bullshit in England and nobody is going to stop it at all, cos they’ve already outsourced the narrative through a culture war.

Where’s all this born again stuff Farage is coming out with coming from?

So by that logic all the immigrants he wants to deport should be shown some Christian compassion, Nigel the grifter at it again

Pretty sure acknowledging your sin, taking responsibility for it in full is part of the Christian forgiveness thing.

When asked about the charges, this guy chose to lie about it.

I do agree people can be forgiven; but I’m not sure this is it. He did not sincerely disclose and ask for it.

He’s in the wrong country. That’s for evangelical Americans
