Stick to calling him a cunt. No reason to threaten to kill him.

This is a tricky one, it’s always hard to know if a threat is genuine or if he was just being an idiot. At most he’ll probably just get probation.

Maybe *now* they’ll understand the difference between “freedom of speech” and “incitement to violence”, and why that councillor’s wife was locked up.

>On 12 October Mr Farage uploaded a video to YouTube titled „the journey of an illegal migrant“ which highlighted Khan and referenced „young males of fighting age coming into our country about whom we know very little“.
Well Farage is not wrong. We’re playing Russian roulette with who we’re letting in.

Nigel the fascist farage is a cunt yes sir but let’s stick to calling him such and not giving him death threats

His whole political career has been spent inciting violence and then surprised when he is threatened with violence.

Good. Doesn’t matter who the politician is, threatening murder is obscene.

We need a returns agreement with the Taliban, otherwise we’re stuck with people like this guy for their entire lives.

Political violence is wrong.
The killing of Jo Cox was wrong.
The killing of David Amess was wrong.
The killing of Nigel Farage would be wrong.

Can the left stop trying to kill right wing voices please

Wait, all the right wing grifters on Twitter like Adam Brooks told us the lefty CPS would never pursue this because of two-tier policing?

All the article states is that he made gun fingers and said pop pop pop on a TikTok video? Is that it?

So what do his supporters make of this. Thought it was a waste of time investigating mere „hurty words“ said online. „Can’t even say the word pop any more! PC gone mad!“.

The reason we can’t deport to Afghanistan is? There is no more war there. By all accounts life is rather peaceful there now, albeit oppressive to women.

This is the sort of thing that I *hope* we can all agree is completely unacceptable and has no place in our politics. I’m pretty much a lefty and abhore Farage’s rhetoric, but violence (or threats) isn’t going to bring people together. Like it or loathe it, he’s got a right to spout his bile and that’s an important liberty.

Hmm I wonder what the freedom of speech folks will make of this.

Violence should not be the answer within Politics. Farage is a skid mark on this Country, but he should not be subject to violence against his life, etc.
Besides, this just gives his base more ammo so to speak. Don’t like him?, don’t vote for him…..simples.

Harm is a factor. We don’t know how upset Farage was. Or how upset he says he was.
We do know he was found guilty so no reduction for guilty plea (which is something that confuses people).
I’d guess B is the highest culpability level and guessing level 2 harm, that gives a 1 year custody starting point.
I have no idea if someone recently arrived can argue good character (no UK convictions but….)
Death threats are not cool and immature.
There are other ways to handle Reform and Farage.
