Riots in Southport

Thankyou for the long article on Farage Doodledog. I mostly scroll past long cut and paste jobs but not this one. It says it all. How anyone can overlook it is beyond me.

Thanks Wyllow.It’s actually even worse than I remembered!

As far as I can find Maybee

"Nigel Farage would 'pick up a rifle' if Brexit is not delivered

It is not the first time the former Ukip leader has threatened civil disobedience over Brexit"

"Nigel Farage has said he would, “don khaki, pick up a rifle and head for the front lines” if Theresa May fails to deliver Brexit in the fashion he wants.

Addressing an audience at a £63 a head event in Southampton on Sunday, the former Ukip leader said that if Brexit was not delivered properly, "there will be widespread public anger in this country on a scale and in a way we have never seen before."

He added: "If that happens, much as I'm enjoying myself... I enjoy my trips to the States with Trump and the White House and everything else. I'm enjoying my life.

But if they don't deliver this Brexit that I spent 25 years of my life working for, then I will be forced to don khaki, pick up a rifle and head for the front lines

He said in May 2016: "I think it's legitimate to say that if people feel they have lost control completely, and we have lost control of our borders completely as members of the EU, and if people feel that voting doesn't change anything then violence is the next step

(You may hit a paywall, so I copied and pasted from the article)

And will these tough sentences apply to the men who broke a police woman officer nose?

No. Thought not.

I thought you should know Urms that a thread on this specific issue yesterday was deleted because of levels of speculation, commenting on an ongoing case, (and deletions of dodgy posts) all became OTT.

It's also unrelated to the riots in Southport

Do you remember this from Farage?

Nigel Farage says he would ‘be forced to don khaki, pick up a rifle and hit the frontline'

Yes, I was trying to remember that but couldn’t remember when he said it.

Do you have advance knowledge of the sentences? You seem very certain. As the trial hasn't happened yet, and we don't know what evidence will be presented, that seems strange.

No. Thought not.

Growstuff I've found the report of a NF sticker found at Dunton Green station, scary so near to the school, but can't find any reports of others or of blades down the seats. Can you link to where you found them please?

I had to consult Google as I’ve been out and knew nothing of this suspended Labour councillor till I updated on this thread. Is Ricky Jones ‘far left’ or a nasty, ignorant man who shouts before he thinks. Far left in my book include Corbyn and McDonald. So far as I’m aware, they never suggested anyone have their throat cut

I think he shouts before he thinks, although he's probably got certain views.

I read about the background to this. Apparently, he's a union official on the railways. Some members had found sticky notes with NF logos on a train. When they removed them, they found razor blades stuck to the back. They also found razor blades down the seats on the train. Obviously, the blades could have caused real damage and he was angry.

That's what's alleged anyway. There's still no excuse for what he said - just explaining the background, in case anybody thought it was some random rant.

Doodledog - many thanks for that excellent article.
tickingbird - no one expects us to read every long cut n paste, I read this one because the early paragraphs ‘spoke’ to meb

For crying out loud when are these ridiculously long copy and paste posts going to stop?

As for far right filth there’s been some far left Labour filth showing their true colours today. Calling for throats to be cut. Tut tut…..

And he has been dealt with swiftly. And quite righty too.

No-one forces anyone to read them, do they?

Casdon 👍🏻

That article is one of the best I've read in a long time as regards the insidious way he - or people like him "normalise" the unacceptable.

Excellent article by Dunt.

Thanks for the article Doodledog, a very measured piece. How anyone can take Farage seriously when he cites Andrew Tate as a source is beyond belief.

My friend had heard of Ricky Jones because he's one of her councillors and she voted for him. I'm only a few miles away, didn't know him from Adam. Stupid man has ensured lots more will know him now

Thanks for posting this intelligent article Doodle.

It’s spot on in its critique of Farage - despicable little man!

tickingbird, so are you comfortable with Mr Farage describing himself as a victim of "incitement to violence" ?
Are you comfortable with his relationship with Andrew Tate?
Mr Farage is the Member of Parliament for an Essex constituency. Should his focus be on the safety and well being on his constituents? I see no evidence of any self awareness that his concerns for himself and his repeating of anything said by the loathsome Mr Tate might not be helpful in the current situation?
And I repeat- Mr Farage's friend, Mr Tate is utterly loathsome. If that makes me " far left filth" I will wear that label with pride.

What he said was reprehensible and he has rightly lost his job and may lose his liberty.

Yet people still defend Farage, who has a million times more influence, which is why I think the whataboutery doesn't hold up. Had anyone ever heard of 'Dartford Councillor Ricky Jones' before he made the headlines with is stupid comment? We aren't in the playground, which is where 'tit for tat' belongs.
