Newly unearthed Nigel Farage videos reveal support for rioter, neo-Nazi event and far-right slogans

 It’s a serious reflection on judgment and the kind of movements being legitimized.

I’m shocked. Shocked!

Who could’ve guessed?

Wasnt this guy one of the loudest supporters for brexit, the anti Polish/Romanian workforce guy?

What I AM shocked about is the support this guy is getting.

I mean, c’mon; isn’t it obvious that first and foremost he wants to hurt people? Are his supporters all duped or actually, and quite knowingly sinister themselves?

He is the “acceptable” froglike face of fascism.

Shocked Pikachu

I’m guessing the only people whose mind that would change already weren’t supporting him

Pikachu face!

It was so hard to tell the way he supports fascist people and ideas constantly.

Mr. Farage, the man who begged Donald Trump back in 2017 for the job as UK ambassador in the US has far-right sympathies? Shocking! /s

Him saying whatever for money on Cameo is ancient news by now

It’s not like we didn’t know. He’s been speaking on behalf of dictators and creeps for years, when the moneys right.

What we didn’t realise how cheap he was.

Somehow this makes Starmer a dictator.

**Exclusive: Analysis of more than 4,000 of Reform UK leader’s paid-for Cameo videos also shows they contain misogynistic remarks and antisemitic conspiracies**

Some viewers might find the following footage offensive.

Nigel Farage has sold videos in which he endorsed a neo-Nazi event, repeated extremist slogans and supported a man convicted over his involvement in a far-right riot. The videos are among several highly questionable clips identified by the Guardian in an investigation into the Reform UK leader’s use of the personalised video platform Cameo.

They include videos in which he repeats a motto associated with the UK far right, references antisemitic conspiracy theories and makes misogynistic remarks about leftwing politicians – including a comment about the US congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s breasts.

The unearthing of the videos could prove damaging to Farage, whose party is leading in the polls in the UK. They raise questions about his relationship with the far right and who he is willing to take money from.

Farage charged £155 for one video he made in 2025 for a man he was told had received a 16-month sentence for his involvement in a far-right riot. The Reform leader told the man to “keep acting in the right way”.

He was paid £141 for another video in which he promoted an event by a Canadian neo-Nazi group, which used the clip in propaganda alongside fascist salutes and antisemitic imagery. Farage called the event “the best thing that ever happened”.

The Guardian has also identified a series of “outtake” Cameo clips in which Farage appears quick to anger when his recording is interrupted, showing a side to him that contrasts with his amiable public persona.

The Guardian analysed 4,366 clips Farage has produced on Cameo since he joined the platform in 2021. He has become a prolific user of the service, which allows celebrities and high-profile figures to sell short videos to members of the public.

Buyers of Cameo videos are required to write a prompt, which describes who the video is for and what the user wants their chosen celebrity to say.

Farage has charged a total of at least £374,893 for his videos since he joined the platform five years ago and often makes several videos a day. Most are innocuous clips in which he is paid about £85 to send his supporters personalised messages to celebrate birthdays, Christmas or Valentine’s Day.

However, there are dozens of instances in which he has made videos for people who expressed far-right or offensive views. They include clips Farage made for one Cameo user who expressed support for the National Front, a defunct fascist party, and another who asked for a video for a former Ukip supporter who dislikes “the gypsies”.

A spokesperson for the [Reform UK](https://www.theguardian.com/politics/brexit-party) leader said: “Mr Farage has recorded many thousands of videos for genuine supporters to celebrate weddings, congratulate friends or send novelty messages. At that scale, the occasional mistake can occur.”

They said Farage’s Cameo videos “should not be treated as political statements or campaign activity” and added: “He has long been clear in his opposition to extremism and political violence.”

# ‘Keep acting in the right way’, Farage tells man convicted of violent disorder

The Guardian discovered the time and date his videos were uploaded – and how much Farage charges for them – in the publicly available source code embedded in the platform’s website.

The code also reveals the prompts Farage sees when he records his videos, including one he made for Ben Tavener, 37, who had been convicted of violent disorder over his involvement in clashes in Bristol on 3 August 2024.

At the time, following the Southport murders, Farage condemned the widespread rioting across England, much of which targeted hotels housing asylum seekers. “We do not support – I do not support – street protest, violence or thuggery in any way,” [he said](https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/02/riot-police-on-standby-england-wales-far-right-protests-southport). “We must deal with violence wherever it comes from and deal with it ruthlessly.”

The following year Farage made a Cameo video for Tavener, which was commissioned and paid for by his family to mark the conclusion of his sentence.

Their prompt asked Farage to record a message for a man called “Ben”, who it described as a “longtime Reform member … who was filmed in the 2024 summer riots breaking up fights and helping stop clashes with police. When objects were thrown at him, he threw a bottle that hit the ground and hurt no one. He received 16 months in prison (off licence in days).”

Despite knowing that he was being offered money to support a man who had received a prison sentence for involvement in the far-right riots, Farage recorded a sympathetic message for Tavener.

He told him he had received an “absolutely outrageous” prison sentence. “I know you’ve really, really been through the mill and I’m sorry. I’m genuinely sorry. You’re not alone, but that’s Cold Comfort Farm. It’s absolutely rotten. All I can say is keep your head up, keep believing in the right things, keep acting in the right way, and in the end, do you know something, Ben, in the end, good triumphs over evil.”

He finished the message by thanking Ben for his support, adding: “I’m with you as well.”

Tavener told the Guardian receiving the video had given him a “good bit of morale”. He denied he had been rioting and said he was not far-right, describing himself as “patriotic”. He was taking part in protests against a hotel housing asylum seekers when, footage shows, he threw a bottle in the vicinity of counter-protesters and mounted police.

However his video for Tavener appears to be at odds with his claim to have “done more than anyone else to defeat the far right in Britain”. He has recently been seeking to soften the image of Reform to appeal to mainstream voters. That effort could be further undermined by a video he was paid to make for neo-Nazis in [Canada](https://www.theguardian.com/world/canada), which was filmed just 10 days after his election as an MP on 4 July 2024.

The idea that his party could come into power further solidifies my desire to leave the UK

I honestly think that by the election Reform (the party of Farage) and the Conservatives in the UK will be at about the same polling level, which under our voting system would destroy both of them

The conservatives might even be ahead by then at the rate Reforms popularity is declining.
