And so it came to pass that Farage reverted to type, and went full dishonest racist bigot, declaring “The politics of the subcontinent are currently playing out on the streets of Leeds. Don’t say I didn’t warn you”. An eastern European and Christian family has, in the retelling, become Scary Muslims™! Because the “subcontinent” reference is where Farage is leading his followers.
He was, more disturbingly, on the same page as Stephen Yaxley Lennon, who styles himself Tommy Robinson, who had claimed “the newly elected councillor for the area rioting tonight in Leeds. Multiple reports he’s even on the streets with them”. Mothin Ali, in fact, “was seen by dozens of people earlier in the evening intervening, in an attempt to calm the disorder and stop the attacks on police”, as the Guardian later told. Lennon lied too.
Worse, Farage was not the only one of the Reform UK brains trust sounding off about the disturbance. Lee Anderson ranted “Disgraceful Scenes. Import a third world culture then you get third world behaviour. These animals need locking up for good. They are a product of our spineless namby pamby establishment who have betrayed our great country”. He lied too.
And he got an A for hypocrisy, having previously claimed those who trashed a Police van “were not far right extremists, they are just normal family people” when there were disturbances outside the Suites Hotel in Knowsley, after a number of asylum seekers were temporarily housed there.
As if Farage ever listened to anyone else. Former prosecutor Nazir Afzal summed it up: “Last time I checked members of the Romanian community protesting (violently & unlawfully) about some children being taken into care in Leeds has nothing to do with the politics of the subcontinent. Not Muslims Nigel. But a lie is a lie”. Nick Lowles of Hope not Hate had more.
“On Sunday night there were outbreaks of disorder all over the country, following England’s Euro24 defeat. Funny how [Nigel Farage], [Paul Golding] and [Tommy Robinson] remained silent. I wonder why that might be”. We know why: that disorder featured white people. While what happened in Leeds may not have. Farage has once again lied, and gone full racist.
He showed you who he was. You should have believed him the first time.

Outright lying is now an entrenched element of public life. Especially in politics, "business", and corporate media.
ReplyDeleteBritain is a country of no moral centre. Its soul is rotting away thanks to the mugs who won't resist it and the spivs and mass murderers who perpetrate it.
Don't expect it to get any better in the future. Quite the reverse will happen. It's all too too predictable.
Lee Anderson out did our Nige there. Even Tommo was left trailing in his jack booted wake. "When you import Third World culture (whatever that is) you get third World behaviour" (..again, whatever that is). Followed by "animals", "nanny pamby" etc. All language Daily Mail readers use regularly, but not even the most low life mainstream politicians go that far. But that's the point. Reform are painting themselves as above the norm, standing up for the decent, Christian, white volk.
ReplyDeleteRiots? ‘The subcontinent’? ‘Third world behaviour’?
ReplyDeleteDo these morons have no knowledge of or respect for the traditions and heritage of our great country? Was not the governance of this sceptered isle once described as ‘despotism tempered by riot’?
Without getting into the question of whether one Wikipedia entry’s riot is another (wo)man’s justifiable response to oppressive circumstances, and without wishing to select any particular city for praise, here is a list of the contributions of Leeds to the noble heritage that is British riot.
1735 Corn price riot, 1753 The turnpike riots,1754 Holbeck Chapel Riot, 1800 Corn price riot, 1811 Corn price riot, 1842 The Chartist and Plug riots in Holbeck and Hunslet, 1844 The Military riot, 1865 Leeds dripping riot, 1890 The Gasworkers riot, 1893 Morley miners' riot, 1908 The suffragette riot, 1917 An anti-Jewish riot, Quarry Hill , 27 September 1936 The Battle of Holbeck Moor, 1975 Chapeltown riot, 11 July 1981 Chapeltown riot, 22 June 1987 Chapeltown riot, 1995 Hyde Park Riot, 2001 Harehills riot, 2002 Leeds Festival riots, The 2011 England riots saw "pockets of disorder" in Leeds, the 2024 Harehills riot ( casualties: one bus, one police car.
Does all this count for nothing to these barbarians and iconoclasts bent on rewriting the past and destroying all that we hold most dear? Did they learn nothing in their history lessons at Dulwich College and Ashfield Secondary?
These animals need locking up for good!
Agree with the previous comments. The barbarians are the Farage and Robinson mob. That Councillor who on video is seen to put his neck out to stop things; actively intervening, is a hero and I would gladly have him as a neighbour rather than than the likes of Farage and Robinson etc. Those scutters are the threat to Britain. And they would probably burn libraries in order to prevent people from learning and challenging their version of England
ReplyDeleteNo need to. Neo-liberal historians (Ferguson, Starkey et al) have already swamped Amazon, and eventually our Libraries, with a deluge of history 'works' re-writing British History to taste. The comment sections speak volumes, repeating as they do, exactly the same things as the Daily Mails. These are also the same creatures who gave the stamp of approval to Goves rewriting of the History curriculum in our schools. Make of that what you will..
DeleteIf Lee Anderson's comment about third world culture and animals needing locking up is not a clear cut example of racism... nah, there's no ifs. It is a clear cut example of racism.
