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.

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

@PatientlyWaiting25 But some of those who see that will regard that as positive.

@ninalanyon There will always be some knobs in the world but hopefully most decent people will see through him and vote accordingly.

@PatientlyWaiting25 But the danger is not merely that people will vote for him it is also that other political parties take on some of the same, for want of a better word, policies in order to woo people from the far right.

@ninalanyon That is the real danger. He is changing the political discourse to suit his own polirical ends. His constant chattering distracts people into believing that black is white. Which is why he needs to be called out for the hypocritical fraud he is.
