      From whinning about Sunaks D-Day debacle to suggesting we shouldn’t have fought the Nazis at all. This should sink Reform, but I imagine their “patriotic” supporters will turn a blind eye to this.

      I assume he’s upset that his candidate went off message and only suggested staying neutral and not going all in with the Axis powers

      Some Brits didn’t hate the Nazis because they were fascist, they hated them because they were foreign.

      This is ridiculous, next they will want me to pull down the statue of Hitler I erected in my back garden. Broken Britain

      Nigel showing his true colours here. A tricky situation that a party leader should know how to navigate and tackle and his response? Do a Boris and hide in the fridge. He’s got no cheerleaders in this one, at least cheerleaders you’d actually want, and without them he’s too cowardly to face a bit of scrutiny.

      It’s always good optics for a leader of the party to duck interviews about their membership, always.

      Great week in the job so far Nige.

      Running like the rat he is.

      Someone please ask him in an interview or on Question time (God knows he is the darling of the BBC despite having had no official political position for years until recently):

      “What is Reforms policy towards NATO and the collective NATO led effort in the Russia Ukraine war?”

      This is all you need to expose that a vote for Reform is a vote for Vladimir Putin.

      He’s been hanging around Trump too long. Much as I loathe the guy, once upon a time he was pretty unshakeable and wouldn’t shy away from interviews. Nowadays he exhibits much the same manbaby traits as his orange chum across the pond. “You’re boring” to journalists who dare question him, etc. Just pathetic now.

      >He also claimed online that women were the “sponging gender” and should be “deprived of health care”.
      The previous month he criticised women, writing: “Do you think you could actually work and pay for it all too like good citizens?

      >“Men pay 80% of tax – women spend 80% of tax revenue. On aggregate as a group you only take from society.

      >“Less complaining please from the ‘sponging gender’.”

      I’m very sorry my british friends, but it’s so ridiculous I’m laughing my ass off right now. This guy is on the same level than some edgy 4chan troll.

      The whole “tongue in cheek” and “he was only joking” excuse is overused and holds no weight.

      What a load of nonsense.

      Desperate attempts at offence archeology to try and derail someone the public support.

      It’s not going to work.

    15. Tomgar on

      You know, for a swaggering loudmouth he really is a little bitch the instant people push back on him.

      Farage showing his true colours, here

      When presented with the opportunity to go on TV and state for the record that his party isn’t full of people who think we should have let Hitler conquer Europe, as well as pledge to remove the two members who do think that, he decides to give it a miss.

      Wonder why. Why is that one lie so much more difficult than the mountain of others he’s told? For the blue pills wear off and he’s gone soft?

    17. HumanBeing7396 on

      What was Farage and Hitler’s row about? If they just get together for a chat I’m sure they can smooth things over.

    18. OVO_Papi on

      Considering how many people wear poppies but do the Nazi salute on the far right the core fan base of reform won’t be bothered

      Criticizing sunak for leaving the d-day celebrations – good   

      Criticizing a Muppet in his own party for being a Hitler apologist – bad 

        Perhaps, like Sunak, this Gribbin character “Doesn’t  understand British history or our culture.”  

        In all seriousness this is to be expected for Farage. They’re trying to put forward hundreds of candidates for the election when they don’t have much of a mechanism to filter candidates. They’re a right-wing pressure group that attracts cranks, not a real political party. 

         I remember how frustrated Farage would get with UKIP dolts consistently being a public relations liabilities. [My favourite was when UKIP MEP’S Steven woolfe and mike hookem had a fight outside the European Parliament in 2016](https://static.independent.co.uk/s3fs-public/thumbnails/image/2016/10/06/16/steven-woolfe-03.jpg?quality=75&width=640&crop=3%3A2%2Csmart&auto=webp)
