> Farage has released two videos since three children were murdered in Southport last week. In the first, he questioned whether police were withholding information about who was responsible for the murders.
Oh ffs! ICYMI the police were *NOT* withholding info. The suspect was under age and therefore had protection. This is the law. If you don’t like it Farage, go hide in the woods and live by yourself.
> Lee Anderson, the Reform MP and former Tory deputy chair, made a similar argument, writing on X: “This problem has been caused by smug politicians who have refused to listen to the concerns of British people. It has festered and now it has boiled over. Parliament must listen, parliament must act but it must not blame the British people.” He also referred to the prime minister as “Keir Stalin” in a reference to the Russian dictator.
Isn’t this 35p Lee? Dear Lee, thank you for telling me you don’t know anything about history without telling me you don’t know anything about history.
What I want to know is do Reform have a hand in driving the online activity around this, because everywhere I look are reform supporters (or bots?) pushing Reform talking points and using extreme language/scaremongering about Labour/Starmer. Curious whether it’s fully organic or if more is going on.
To use Farage’s own words, I don’t know, I’m just asking questions!
Nigel Farage 2 days ago:
> What you’ve seen on the streets of Hartlepool, of London, of Southport, is nothing to what could happen over the course of the next few weeks.
So…he knew that the riots are going to happen? I wonder how he knows.

This is a pretty stark contrast from the last time he talked about people who attacked the police.
Wonder what’s different this time? Something doesn’t seem quite white.
Personally think starmer telling everyone they wouldnt be going to jail played a major part
These riots have gotten to the point where lynch mobs are forming.
It’s all well and good to just say that people have concerns with immigration, but the hate-mongering and the paranoia that politicians and pundits have been building up for the past so many years can not be ignored. There’s only so much messaging of invasions before these “just concerned” citizens start to believe there’s a concentrated attack on British culture and her people.
These politicians and public figures absoloutely need to be held accountable for the violence that they’ve knowingly caused. They need to be held far more accountable than any JSO protestors.
Don’t slap them with a couple fines, throw them in a cell with no chance of bail.
Bro Nigel himself should be investigated. His takes have been hyperboled to the extreme and his videos about immigration became breeding grounds for hateful little bastards
So nasty men made comments you don’t like therefore they are bad.
This is incentivizing violence which is illegal. Out him in prison.
Starmer has said the most dangerous thing yet…set England and Ulster ablaze…fixated with Farage,it’s like a disease while the treacherous go unpunished!
