Times are getting hard . . .

A Guardian investigation into thousands of Patreon messages recorded by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, has resulted in the self-styled patriot withdrawing his services (£106 a message) over "security concerns".

Among the more controversial messages:

(1) He repeated the well known right wing extremist phrase "If in doubt, kick them out" in multiple videos.
(2) He hilariously exclaimed "Up the Rhodesia!"
(3) He positively endorsed a Canadian neo-Nazi group.
(4) He sympathised with a criminal jailed for rioting and attacking asylum seekers' accommodation.
(5) He mocked Welsh as a "foreign language" (should go down well in the Senedd elections in May 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿).
(6) He repeated an anti-semitic conspiracy theory.

The videos, all made "in good faith", were recorded last year while Farage was supposedly representing the seat of Clacton-on-Sea in parliament. He still has not held a single MP's surgery in his constituency.

I am proudly centre left and a huge fan of Bernie Sandars and AOC! 😇😇😇 The far right is cruel! 😭😭😭 I think centre left is best place to be politically as centre left is not taking being left wing to an extreme but is safely left of centre! 😌😌😌 Centre right is okay too but far right is dangerous and so is far left just as dangerous but hardly exists unlike the far right! 😠😠😠 Centrist is okay too bit in my opinion centre left is the absokute best place to be politically and that is why I am proudly centre left! 😁😁😁 Judging by your views I'd honestly say your centre left too just like me! 😍😍😍

He's a money grabbing con-man. I'm not sure that 'in good faith' is a term that he understands.

By the way, not Patreon but something called Cameo, according to the BBC.

They are national front. Hopefully everyone will see that by the time elections come around.
