Newly unearthed videos of Reform's Nigel Farage reveal support for rioter, neo-Nazi event and far-right slogans. Surprise surprise.

Well, this should finally finish Reform off in the UK at least :)

Go Green!

Not a surprise, but I'd not take the videos seriously because we can't know their veracity or the source and its probity.

"Newly unearthed" suggests made by anonymous people and slipped into the Guardian offices for their own ends; rather than genuine investigative reporting by named Guardian journalists.

The Guardian is normally pro-Labour so no supporter of Reform.

I should add I am NOT a supporter of either Farage and his Reform, or their opponent Corbyn's left-wing "Your Party".

I'm not sure about the Greens but acknowledge they have more political experience and may be more sincere than those two parties.

@ArishMell Well said.

@MartinII doesn’t mean they’re fake, though does it.

@ArishMell the videos are not fake though

@Waveney I didn't say they were, simply because I have no way to know either way. It's probably very hard to fake such a video though. Does the newspaper give the name of their makers?

Ironically, when Nigel Farage and otherd formed the United Kingdom Independence Party its rules explicitly barred extremists of both Left and Right. When Farage stepped down, Gerald Batten took over as leader, and he appointed the odious Steven Yaxley-Lennon as an "advisor" - a man ineligible for UKIP membership under that rule.
