To try and attribute such incidents to “ people like Farage” is highly offensive, whatever you think of him Nobody should try to make political capital from any sort of violence, from milkshake throwing to knifing whatever your political leanings.

HeliX Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I think we have to accept the very real possibility that he staged the entire thing just to make this pre-planned and incredibly shit joke: Though it does more or less sum him up if he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 2 hours ago, Albert Tatlock said: Understand your point, but IMO they only need a swing of about 4k or 5k if Farage splits the Conservative vote, not 10k. 36k votes split 3 ways is around 12k each. So any of the 3 could likely sneak it. Well its 38k not 36k so an even split near 13k. That's double last time. Also Andy Morgan, who got 1000 votes, wanted change his name to "Andrew Morgan Clacton-Brexitparty" so I doubt his voters are swinging to Labour.

The one thing that he's got plenty of is attention. He's also way above your level of political maturity and understanding Helix. Nigel won Clacton in the time it took him to announce he's standing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Mr Farage would like to reflect that not long after he unveiled his "breaking point" poster a white supremacist went and shot, stabbed and killed Jo Cox whilst shouting "Britain First". I am personally glad that Farage suffered no injuries, and I believe that Politicians and Public Figures should be bettered protected but if he insists on spreading hatred then I am afraid he puts himself into a position where he is likely to be targeted. The same applies for politicians like George Galloway on the far left. They deliberately court controversy and stoke hatred. Instead we see politicians like Jo Cox and David Amess caught up in the mess created by extremists. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well apart from the fact they both seem to have blonde hair I can’t see any resemblance. Why would the Reform Party’s press officers partner willingly get a criminal record for such a stunt? I think you’ve lost it to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
