Why you shouldn't call Nigel, Farage, a racist!
The answer is simple. It's because he doesn't like it!
There have been plenty of people complaining about how he reacted to them when at school. However, he doesn't like them reacting to him now.It's in the adult world. He states that it was 50 years ago, and he implies that their memory may not be accurate. Furthermore, he now brings in the fact that he considers it could be a political move on their part. 🤣🤣🤣🤡
Strangely enough , none of his followers like being called racist 😢. They enjoy being racist, just not being called out for it.
Not only that, but when Nigel Farage is called a supporter of Putin and of Russia , he objects. It would appear that on LBC yesterday, they covered quite a few of his statements, made in various places, but demonstrating his support of Putin and of the recently imprisoned Nathan Gill, the former leader of Reform UK in Wales, who was sentenced to 10-and-a-half years in prison for accepting bribes to promote pro-Russian statements while serving as a Member of the European Parliament. Gill received around £40,000 to support pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine, which has raised serious concerns about foreign influence in British politics.
So whatever you do, don't call Nigel a racist, nor pro Russian!

Imagine if the richest said "Please tax us more to help the poor. Tax wealth, not work".
Well, that DOES happen. I saw and heard it, with my own eyes and ears again today.
It's time to combat widening inequality. The Chancellor must listen. She must not be bullied by the loudest voices.
The "Tax Us, the Super-Rich" Campaign Bus arrived in Westminster this morning. The final stop on its national tour. Through chilly snow & rain flurries I met them. Thanks to Patriotic Millionaires for organising.
I'd already tabled a raft of parliamentary motions, urging the Chancellor to use her Budget next week to combat widening inequality, choose tax justice, reward work and enterprise, close tax loop-holes, lift those struggling to make ends meet. It can be done.
Millionaire YouTuber and economist, Gary Stevenson, said: "People like me, the super-rich, must start paying what they should. Working people are being squeezed out because our country’s wealth is being concentrated into the hands of fewer and fewer people. The Chancellor has an opportunity to change that in this Budget, to tax wealth, not work. Millionaires support it, the public supports it. It’s time to get on with it.".

Example: First of 3 Parliamentary Motions [EDM 2162]:
Matters for the Chancellor of the Exchequer to consider prior to the Autumn Budget 2025
That this House notes the extent of widening inequality in the UK and that the top 50 richest families now hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population and there has been nearly 1000% increase in the wealth of UK billionaires since 1990; further notes that a dynamic study conducted by Patriotic Millionaires UK on the Sunday Times Rich List reported that £160 billion could have been raised for the UK's public finances over the past three decades if those with assets over £10 million were annually taxed at 2%, whilst their wealth would still have increased at between 1.7% and 2.7%; believes that moderate taxes would not provoke capital flight as lobbyists assert and is repeated by some media and commentators; considers that just 0.01% of the richest households relocated after wealth tax reforms were introduced in Norway, Sweden and Denmark; highlights that the considerable evidence that low taxes on wealth can be counterproductive for growth and productivity and that research by tax policy experts at CenTax and the IFS shows that equalising capital gains and income tax rates alongside introducing an investment allowance supports productivity and growth, as does taxing share buybacks; also notes UK's tax-to- GDP ratio is around 35% according to OECD data (2024), lower than comparable G7 economies France (44%), Italy (43%), Nordic countries (41-43%); and calls on the Chancellor to reflect on these factors as she considers her options for the forthcoming Budget.

Satirical speech on immigration. Warning, it's very discrimatory. Can easily imagine Farage making the same speech now.

I have BBC Radio 3 on all day while I'm working, as classical music doesn't distract me from rearranging words on a page. But I did listen more closely to this lovely programme with Jools Holland and artist Glen Baxter, which has some uplifting jazz as well as classical https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002mc0t It made this truly miserable-weather day seem sunnier.

This item popped up on my notification list today.
The original was written 4 years ago.
Many, but not all, of the original players are still around in SL. There have been name changes i.e. Socrates, (not quoted but referred to) is still around with identical views, as mentioned in responses to him. He has a new name now, but his hatred of immigrants has not lessened one iota, although he is sailing under a different political party now.
It makes interesting, but sad reading?

How as it got this bad , how have such dangerous substances continued to pour onto our streets and why is there nothing in place to remove those who walk like zombies or are left fallen on the ground. I understand that no one can help someone who doesn’t ask for it but when people have sunk to these lows. Surely something needs to be done -
