“Neil Basu, a former head of counter-terrorism policing, said on the Today programme that Farage “should think very carefully” about the power of his words.”
He has thought carefully. Farage wants division in society, that is how Reform UK will get more votes. People don’t vote far right when they are happy. Farage is offering a scapegoat for people’s problems that he hopes will lead him to greater power. Seeing the police crackdown on these ‘protesters’ will only enable them to claim that the government is silencing them and seem to confirm their conspiracy theories.
No shit.
What’s sad is the amount of people willing to lap up whatever bullshit Nigel Farage (or Elon Musk & co) put out and believe it without a second thought because it fits what they want to see.
Look at the olympic boxer. Born a woman, the only report she had XY chromosomes came from a Russian Official (of the IBA, who are no longer allowed to run olympic events because of how corrupt they were) posting on a Threads page. I’ve seen more evidence that JD Vance fucks his couch than of that, but guess which one people believe?
But people see a chance to be transphobic, and suddenly all scepticism falls out the window. “It *must* be true, because Elon Musk tweeted it and he’s against disinformation!”
See also the “stockport murderer was a Muslim” and the fallout thereof.
I don’t know if I’m just getting cynical or whether this was always the case, but my god people are quick to believe what they want to believe with absolutely zero thought, and then get riled up at lies that have been spread to get people riled up.
And the rubes who listen to him will probably still think he cares about them while they’re sitting in a cell and he’s laughing with his millions.
He’s not even deleted his original tweet that was basically trying to say he was a migrant Muslim, its crazy the misinformation on social media currently is so out of hand, and this is an official MP.
He wants BLM Style riots all over the country. He will make money off it while we taxpayers have to foot the bill.
Neil Basu is a massive labour activist and useless copper. You can tell he’s Common Purpose with all the odd language he uses – “Succour.”
Of course he is, and that is exactly what he wants to do.
Is this news anymore?
Farage engaged in stochastic terrlrism live on tv. Should be booted out of parliament and any time he plays victim a court-ordered person is there to yell down his ear “SHUT THE FUCK UP” repeatedly and aggressively.
