I have never seen anything antisemitic in any of Farage’s speeches. He concentrates on boat migrants and I have listened to most of his speeches. I don’t particularly like the man but trying to shock people into disliking him with untrue comments doesn’t help.

Nanna8, which ‘untrue comments’?

Yes we can't have people in other countries giving opinions can we grin

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.

Am certainly not alluding to you being anti semitic or Islamophobic etc., but with respect even if a politician in any political party was not being anti semitic in speeches made today but had made anti semitic references historically and supported anti semites I would expect that politician to be out of a job.
The same would go for any racist comments whatsoever.

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.

🙏🙏🙏

The thing I don’t understand ( well if I’m being honest I think I actually do understand😄) is that Orban has done nothing for Trump whatsoever, but is a strong supporter of Putin.

Antisemitism and his attitude to women were referenced in the op.

Fallingstar, nanna8 frequently opines on subjects that she doesn't have full facts upon because she lives in Australia.

Oh I didn’t know that.
Apologies nana8 I thought you were a potential Farage voter over here.

As i have said I don't think the main threat to Jewish people is from Farage or Kanye West. I think Farage is sexist but then so is Alistair Campbell, so is Owen Jones, there are plenty of them about.

What does sexism have to do with anti-semitism?

Isn’t Canada allowing euthanasia for the masses?

I hope that the penny is finally dropping for Farage supporters and they can see him for what he really is. Maybe the "see it as it is" soundbite could be turned on him.

Farage doesn't care less about "ordinary voters". All he does is try to pick up on their grievances and find scapegoats, so that he can harvest votes.

Anybody who belongs in any kind of minority group is at risk of discrimination (or worse).

A speech Farage would never give.

*Mark Carney, "Canada is a nation forged through accommodation, not assimilation"

"Through partnership, not domination"

"The founding insight of our country is that unity does not require uniformity*

Fallingstar, you don't have to be a Jew to find the post alarming, although it must be much worse for the targets of Farage's hatred. You're not alone.

Of course.

Fallingstar Sun 12-Apr-26 08:57:48

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.

Have you seen the piece at the top of this thread?
As a Jew I find your post alarming. Just as anyone of a differing colour or religion will.
I remember when racists - skin heads in bother boots - would meet in grubby East End pubs in London, they operated on the fringes, but Farage and his cronies have made it mainstream politics, the same as Trump.
Your refusal to see this is your choice but is a slap in the face to those who are targeted by the far right.

Wyllow3 Sun 12-Apr-26 08:53:30

I’m not on my computer atm, but an Orban thread might be good, lots of issues there?

Wyllow3 Sun 12-Apr-26 08:50:46

Just give this threads ref on yours?

Fallingstar Sun 12-Apr-26 08:47:55

Sorry Wyllow I just replicated this thread.
Didn’t see this.

Anyone who has followed Farage over many years and has listened to his mates from long ago, even back to school, is aware that he “admired” Hitler and the Nazi regime.

Listening to Dominic Sandbrook on the Tech Bros - those extraordinarily wealthy individuals who got rich on technology. Sandbrook also included (mainly male) those who work in the tech industry.

They tend to support fascist policies, - think of those turning up at Trumps inauguration and their support of fascist outfits throughout the world.

Farage is, and will undoubtedly benefit from their support.

But they both " tell it as it is" apparently.

Where is "it" like they say it is?
