It’s a great language, and the Welsh people should hold onto it for dear life.
Obviously the article is stupid, it’s a quote from a tongue-in-cheek cameo video, unlikely to offend anyone with any sense.
I’m not a big fan of Reform, but there are better things to criticise them for than this. When you’re THIS desperate to find a “gotcha! you did a racism!” you just make yourself look silly.

The Guardian are really gunning for Nige this week.

All these articles about his Cameos are playing in to the game he’s playing. Farage wants there to be plausible deniability for his use of bigoted language in politics, so if you search “Nigel Farage Welsh racism” or “Nigel Farage supports paedos” or whatever, this or the Ian Watkins thing will come up and that will muddy the waters.
This is just the same as Boris Johnson claiming he painted busses as a hobby to try to break the link between his name and the brexit bus.

Technically he is correct as he is speaking in English. Any language that is different to your own is a foreign one.
However lets not pretend he was doing this to be technically correct.

I can still understand what that Welsh catgurl from Xenoblade Chronicles is saying better then anything that comes out his mouth

The fact he does cameos for a cheeky side hustle alone is cringy enough to make me never want him as a PM

Leaving aside all notion of politics, I have one simple question.
What kind of person would say literally anything for £50?

I’m calling Farage a shit speaker. And I’m not even getting paid for it!

By his logic Farage is also a foreigner, unless your blood is 100% British then you’re a dirty infidel! What a dumb and racist excuse for a leader.

He will literally say anything for money and yet people will still vote for Reform. He could insults voters by name and address and some still wouldn’t have a problem with them.

People pay him to say shit and he’ll say it. He couldn’t spell integrity if a drill sergeant shouted it letter-by-letter at him through a megaphone that was three centimeters from his face.

Has The Guardian got nothing better to do than watch this bloke reading scripts and making out that they’ve ‘unearthed’ something groundbreaking? Did the Epstein files get a little dull for them?

I mean “Welsh” literally means “foreign” in old english so he is technically correct. But I doubt he knows that.

Farage. He’ll say anything if you pay him enough. I bet if we could raise enough we could get him to say Brexit was Bad live on GBeebies.

Is it a good sign if a member of parliament is more than willing to say (seemingly) anything for a (low) price? Up the Ra, eh?

Well, I’ve called some Welsh friends weirdos before, but foreigners is pushing it. My bro in law is Welsh, he knows every sheep snagging joke going! Still speaks funny…

This sort of article just makes me feel like whoever wrote it is a humourless bore.
It is funny to say slightly outrageous stuff. Normal people do it all the time. Even more funny if you’re getting paid for it.
Every single person I’ve met, without fail, that gets uptight about these kind of silly jokes is universally just a boring cunt, the type that would dob you in to HR for having three pints instead of two at the work do. If anything it plays into the hands of the whole “Nige is a normal bloke, not like those wokeistas” stuff because it’s not normal to be so square.

Another farage post, this is a surprise. What, so that’s one a day, everyday for the past year.
It’s almost like there’s some sort of, I dunno, a kind of pattern forming.
