Times are getting hard . . .

A Guardian investigation into thousands of Cameo 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.

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.

@FreddieUK Thanks, my mistake. "Good faith" should be in speech marks. Those were his own words. Apparently his right to pocket £106 a time for recording a short message is more important than exercising any political sense. I am sure that some of those messages were set ups, as he claims, but that just shows how unprincipled and unfocussed on doing the job of an MP he is.
