I’m interested to see if Farage and Reform can ride the wave of popularity and actually get some seats in the next election.
There’s a lot of people and media saying they want them in,either as support or as something not mainstream, but will they actually go and vote?

Was Farage a racist? Yes
Is Farage the leader of a racist party? Yes
Will this affect his chances of becoming PM? No

He cannot apologise-that would turn off his investors who would like to see more not less. He is desperate for the election. If delayed there is likely to be more and more questions about Racism, Funding and MP’s. He needs to rush this through-his supporters maybe blinded by Social Media feeding them the Boat People narrative but they may drift off if Labour actually start to do better on immigration.

Some of the „allegations“:
As a schoolboy marched through a quiet Sussex village late at night shouting Hitler Youth songs.
Regularly used a racist slur towards students and told them to go home.
Performed Nazi salutes in sixth form and said “Sieg Heil.” Was described by one of his teachers as having publicly professed racist and neo-fascist views while at school.
As a teenager at Dulwich College, Nigel Farage is alleged to have frequently used racist and antisemitic language toward classmates – including slurs against Black, Asian and Jewish students.
Witnesses say he used to approach a Jewish classmate and “growled ‘Hitler was right’ or ‘Gas them’”, sometimes imitating gas-chamber sounds.
Others recall him leading or encouraging racist chants and songs – including a vile version of a wartime song with lyrics glorifying violence against Jewish, Black and South-Asian children.
Some former pupils say he was open about supporting far-right, extremist views (e.g. praising fascist leaders or repatriation policies), even marking classrooms with extremist emblems when he was in the school’s cadet-force.
Repeated accounts describe him singling out younger, ethnic-minority or Jewish pupils – sometimes even waiting near school gates to harass them as they arrived – using intimidation and racist taunts such as “That’s the way back to Africa.”
According to some former classmates, this behaviour was not subtle or private – it was part of his public school persona, “brazenly and actively” displayed, rather than occasional lapses.

The people who support him will only like him more for this stuff.

Politicians care about their own personal interests more than that of the electorate. That’s why so many switch sides, it’s about assessing the best path to remaining in office.
If reform look like they are going to win a majority. Then the existing MP can either fight and lose, or simply say hey I’m reform now and keep his seat.
They are all corrupt venal people with governed by self interest. They don’t care about the party’s message or if it does anything good as long as they get to line their own pockets.
Is farage popular? If yes, many people will stand up and back him, if not then people won’t want to be associated with him.
Is Farage racist? If he’s politically popular then people will say no, if he looks like he is politically vulnerable then they will say yes.

This will mean the broadcasters will stop giving him ungodly amounts of air time. Right?

If it’s good enough for Farages hero Trump to be an absolute c**t to the media then it’s good enough for him.

At some point, you have to ask yourself: why do all these ‚bad apples‘ keep flocking to your specific barrel? If you build an entire political platform on dog whistles, don’t be shocked when the dogs actually show up and start barking on camera. Blaming the cameraman for recording it is peak gaslighting.

Farage said he might boycott the BBC. That would be a win. Although he will never do it.

The leader of reform in Wales was a Russian spy and has just been jailed. It was covered in the newspapers…… until reform took out giant double-page adverts after which the right wing press immediately forgot about it.

This will help him. Racism is part of human DNA. Fear the stranger is for survival and evolution has not caught up in many minds.
Populists use this.

Sure he looks good angry, but how do you know the journalist is getting turned on?

I doubt this will finish him off, but I live in hope.
