Nigel Farage confirms Reform UK activists caught making ‘unacceptable’ comments will be dropped from campaign

27 comments

1. Lol. You love to see it. He must be fucking seething that he still has to do this after all of his efforts.

2. Dropped from campaign – with less than a week left, with no chance to get them off the ballot.

   And I doubt they will really be dropped. Reform’s target voter loves what they say.

3. If Farage actually wasn’t aligned with these comments and party members and didn’t need voters who shared these views,he’d stand down.

   ….but somehow in his tiny mind, he’s not responsible for the actions of his supporters to his Palvov dog whistles.

4. Dissapointed on Nigel here. So, now you can’t run a racist party and say racist things anymore? Is political correctness gone MAD.

   /s

5. ‘Caught’ – so he’s not saying they can’t make them, just don’t get caught

6. Like… saying that Putin chap ain’t half bad, and it’s our fault really he invaded ukraine?

7. He is now claiming that one is an actor and that channel 4 set it up! How anyone believes anything he says i dont know.

8. Is the pot insinuation something about the kettle…. Time to resign nige, you are a charlatan and a disgrace.

9. If Reforms polling numbers drop further because of this that takes some of the pressure off the Tories and potentially reduces the Labour majority

   Prediction after the election
   “I wholeheartedly reject these despicable comments therefore I am announcing I am resigning from the Reform party and am announcing I will be running to be the next leader of the Conservative party.”
   Significant numbers of Tories accept this without question.
   And so history is made.

10. And immediately promoted to foreign secretary if elected

11. Has he not qualified to be dropped himself? He’s said some pretty grim shit.

12. Reform are dead. Not really because of this, but Farage stanning Putin.

13. But that means there will be no Reform candidates left to stand…

14. I wonder if ppl who said they’ll vote reform actually go through with it, or just go back to tories when faced with the ballot paper

15. Needs to drop himself also then.

    It’s not acceptable to claim Brexit was a good idea when people were stripped of the most valuable rights of the modern age.

16. “unacceptable comments” like “gas them all, gas them all” and “Hitler was right” and “We provoked Putin, its our fault”

    Them kind of unacceptable comments right Nigel?

    Will you be standing down than I expect?

17. Ah, poor Nige. Having to drop candidates who have been caught stating on camera the same crap he used to spout. Racist calling a racist a racist.

    Nigel is just starting to learn what politics is actually about.

    Also, fuck him for being an obvious Russian agent of chaos.

18. So far all comments made have been deemed perfectly acceptable 👌

19. Yet he is now spinning the baseless conspiracy that the footage is not real. Yet the man caught on camera himself says he’s not a paid actor and an actual Reform campaigner. Farage is a shameless, pathetic coward.

20. So he’s dropping himself yeah? His comments around supporting Russia are unacceptable. He’s as dangerous to national security as Corbyn

21. Lot of clowns claiming it was some sort of false flag because the guy in the video was a small time actor, as if actors don’t do things other than act.

22. Racist cunt party ltd.
    Racist cunts will vote for him.

23. The operative word here is “caught” assuming he means on camera or audio.

    They’re fine to say what they really feel to their true audience

24. I have heard Farage make many unacceptable comments.

25. I doubt he even cares about reform. With Tories projected to suffer huge losses of seats, he’s most likely looking to further his prominence and support in UK politics to give the Tories no choice but have him as their next party leader.

26. Yeah. Can’t have them saying aloud what every Reform voter thinks.

27. They were always just cannon fodder to drum up interest, do some campaigning then get booted to make it look like he’s doing ‘good’ and is serious.
