Farage in neo Nazi videos

Farage is a British Trump. Talks in sound bites aimed to secure popular appeal and demonises minorities to whip up community disorder.
He is ready to be whatever people want him to be - in simple terms - the jodhpur and tweed wearing fox hunting supporter for the countryside voters and the flat cap pint hugging figure for the working class townies. He can’t be both! He has spent more time in America than he has in his own constituency. Nobody can evidence any improvement he has made to the people in his constituency - yet believes he could run the country!
He has fiddled the system all his life and spouted bile about minorities at school and on his on line videos. He will do anything for money and anything for power. Like Trump he is morally bankrupt - relies on the gullible and poorly educated people he appeals to.

Farage is a fascist. He's racist, misogynist and not keen on on disabled people. Anyone who thinks he is a good idea, be careful what you wish for. Your nhs will be gone, the most disadvantaged in society will be sidelined and the wealthy will be wealthier. Britain will become isolationist. He is not liked abroad except by trump and that should tell you everything. I'm not bonkers I'm very worried that people will be sleepwalking into misery.

I utterly agree!

And for those who bleat about how terrible anti semitism is but support Farage, you should really have a serious word with yourself about what the far right are all about.

🫶 👏👏👏👏👏👏

And he's anti establishment apparently 😂

Please read what I said. I did NOT say I was a Farage supporter.I merely said that all the speeches he has made publicly never mentioned the Jewish people. That is true. He makes speeches almost every day, just for your information. I hold firm to that and too bad if you choose to disagree. He spends most of his time going on and on about the boat arrivals and the incompetence of the Labour government.
I am certainly not anti semitic, that is a joke and if you knew me it would be blaringly obvious. I love my son in law and his family.

That is NOT true.

In a 2017 LBC interview, Nigel Farage discussed US political lobbies in response to a caller comparing Russian influence to others. He said: "There are about six million Jewish people living in America, so as a percentage it’s quite small, but in terms of influence it’s quite big... In terms of money and influence, yep, they are a very powerful lobby... The Jewish lobby with its link to the Israeli government is one of those strong voices.".

He may have mentioned the Jewish lobby in the US and furthermore it’s true what he says, he wasn’t being antisemitic by saying something that’s true in the US.The Jewish lobby there is indeed powerful.

Congratulations, Nanna 8 on posting your opinion and sticking to it.

Apparently you were not aware you must not even quote statistics naming Jewish people, witness:
There are about six million Jewish people living in America, so as a percentage it’s quite small, but in terms of influence it’s quite big... In terms of money and influence, yep, they are a very powerful lobby... The Jewish lobby with its link to the Israeli government is one of those strong voices.

which sounds exactly the same as information given concerning the Gun Lobby or the Ancient order of Hibernians.

I wonder if the light might be dawning? Still the lure of variations on " they come here and take our jobs" is very strong for some.

So agree.

Great posts.

Fingers crossed for Hungary today. We'll soon know. Hope he doesn't try to pull a pull a 'Lukashenko'.

Thanks to LemonJam for informative posts. 💐

Graphite 13.13.

Thank you for your clarification. The racist and antisemitic Cameo video content- some filmed by Farage in his HoC office provides much more tangible evidence of Farage's actions falling short of the code and behavioural standards and were for personal pecuniary benefit. He knows this himself; as soon as the Guardian exposed the content Farage made a point oof making it publicly known he had "paused' his Cameo account. He said it was due to a "technical hitch" which begs the question, if true, whether he intends to unpause his Cameo account and continue with his behaviour?

The racist, antisemitic comments Farage made more clearly bring the responsibility of the Parliamentary Standards Commoner and the need for that office to uphold public into much sharper focus than his personal comments on social media, not for payment that the Commissioner ( rightly or wrongly) may clash with freedom of speech laws if relate to political views. I wonder whether the Commissioner received any complaints of the Cameo videos specifically.

^The more people complain about Farage's outrageous behaviour, the more his supporters just lap it up because they have exactly the same values and beliefs. Complainants just get called names such as "woke" or "lefties" and the more his supporters sneer and jeer^

Absolutely twaddle.

All this ‘he says it like it is’ and ‘he’s a man of the people’ is just rubbish to cover their true beliefs.

Those who support Farage know exactly what he is - a racist, misogynistic, self-serving nasty piece of work - and they like it. It clearly fits with their values.

No-one, particularly in the UK, could possibly be surprised by who Farage is - you know what you’re getting, so don’t pretend otherwise!

Yes I agree. Sadly those who forgive Farage all his diabolical views must in fact have the same diabolical views.
For them he does ‘tell it as it is’ because for them ‘that is how it is.’
Nobody can possible be in dark as to what Farage stands for.

Everything crossed for Hungary today.

Despite Trump giving his full support to Orban, it looks as if this election will see an end to Orban’s. reign.

What positive news !

Phenomenal news regarding the end of ruling Orban ! What a fascist and crook ..

I have dear friends in Budapest.

twaddle: "The more people complain about Farage's outrageous behaviour, the more his supporters just lap it up because they have exactly the same values and beliefs. Complainants just get called names such as "woke" or "lefties" and the more his supporters sneer and jeer".

Yes- however I don't understand why his outrageous behaviour is tolerated, claims put forward his actions pertain to his personal and private life etc. He clearly does not put his public duty first and had no shame in making Cameo videos with racist and antisemitic content for financial benefit.

Thank you, LemonJam

butterandjam 13.05: "Apparently MP's private and personal life includes their views and opinions, including ones they express on social media".

I see where you're coming from butterandjam but even so all MPs actions even if deemed to take place in their personal life must not damage the reputation of Parliament. If so public duty takes precedence as the code clearly sets out. That is even if an MPs actions in his personal life have an adverse impact on public standing, if it violates standards or causes conflicts of interest the Parliamentary Code of behaviour comes into play.

We’ve seen this play out where MPs that have been suspended from the House and/or their party and in some cases even ejected from the House or their party for their behaviour in the private lives that falls below expected standards as public duty takes precedence.

Also the code does not stand alone, it clearly sets out it is complementary to other rules of the House, e.g. Register of Members' Financial Interests and The parliamentary Behaviour Code Whether the racist and antisemitic content of Farage’s Cameo videos occurred in his private life or otherwise is also up a valid consideration where views may differ. The code helps us in that.

Further many of the Cameo videos were visibly made in Farage’s HoC parliamentary office which in itself breaches the code and makes it more difficult to argue his activity occurred in his “purely personal and private life as MPs are not allowed to use their parliamentary offices for personal use.

Also Farage openly has admitted that the making of the Cameo videos was for his ‘personal pecuniary benefit’ which according to the definitions below falls outside of personal private life and can not be deemed a personal hobby.

B – The scope of the Code
The Code applies to Members in all aspects of their public life. It does not seek to regulate what Members do in their “purely private and personal lives”. The obligations set out in this Code are complementary to the procedural and other rules of the House, the Oath or Affirmation of allegiance to the Crown, the rulings of the Chair and the Ministerial Code. In addition, no Member is above the law.

Definitions to help distinguish:

An MP’s public life involves all duties as a legislator and representative, governed by the Seven Principles of Public Life. In contrast, personal life covers private actions, family, and non-political activities. While private, personal life can impact public standing if it violates standards or causes conflicts of interest.

Definition of an MP's Public Life:
Public life is defined by activities directly related to their role as a Member of Parliament, subject to the Code of Conduct and the Seven Principles of Public Life (Nolan Principles).

Parliamentary Duties: Attending debates in the House of Commons, working in committee rooms, and voting on legislation.
Constituency Work: Holding advice surgeries, visiting schools, hospitals, and local businesses within their constituency.
Outside Interests & Meetings: Meeting with lobbyists, trade unions, or holding outside jobs, all of which must be disclosed in the Register of Members' Financial Interests.
Official Communication: Writing to ministers, issuing statements, and conducting media interviews on political issues.

Definition of an MP's Personal Life:
Personal life includes private time, family relationships, personal finances, and non-official, NON-PECUNIARY activities.
Private Time: Time spent away from the constituency or Westminster, including weekends.
Family & Relationships: Time with partners and children, often sacrificed due to long working hours.
Non-political Personal Activity: Personal hobbies, shopping, or personal travel.

The "Grey Area" and Accountability
The line between public and personal is often blurred, particularly regarding integrity.

Conduct: The parliamentary Behaviour Code requires respect and professionalism, even outside formal proceedings.
Conflicts of Interest: Private interests (financial or personal) must not conflict with public duties. If they do, public duty takes precedence.
Scrutiny: Media and public scrutiny often extend to an MP's personal life if it affects their ability to perform their duties or damages the reputation of Parliament.

Agreed Fallingstar and WW.

Indeed, the hard core Farage fans probably love the racism and misogyny - similar to the MAGA crowd🙈

As Reform are proving so useless when elected in Local Government, surely voters will realise and they will never be in a position to form a Government?
Would Farage be re-elected anyway or have the voters of Clacton realised he's not interested in them and not representing them as an MP should? He's only interested in self-promotion.

What worries me is the number of people who don't even appear to know that Local Government exists, let alone what it is responsible for.
Our local / regional social media is curently full of posts blaming the Labour government for the recent big increase in green bin subscriptions etc. Someone usually points out that Reform are actually responsible for these things in this area, not Labour, but it seems to go right over their heads!

Aren't they aware of what their Council tax pays for 😲
It's a considerable sum out of the monthly budget.

The Guardian again 😏

Allira, I think the problem is that the opposition to Reform is fragmented. The Conservatives have shot themselves in the foot, Labour has "achieved" an unpopularity I didn't think was possible after its GE success. I suspect the Greens are seen as the new kids on the block who couldn't be worse than what we have.

I think support for Reform has reached a peak, but it has loads of money behind it and it could very well sneak in where the opposition is in chaos. I think that the major parties (including LDs and regional parties) will get their acts together before the next GE.

That's just it, LizzieDrip. The more people complain about Farage's outrageous behaviour, the more his supporters just lap it up because they have exactly the same values and beliefs. Complainants just get called names such as "woke" or "lefties" and the more his supporters sneer and jeer.
