Nigel Farage ‘is selling snake oil’, says Dragons’ Den star Theo Paphitis

1. And his voters will have no idea what snake oil even means.

2. Pretty much how I view Farage. He sells a false idea of solving a problem, after creating the problem/boogeyman himself (I.e Brexit, ECHR). Reality is that all he is there to do is to serve the agenda of his US MAGA overlords & spout populist junk & ‘act like the common people’ to get the votes whilst he starts to dismantle everything in this country & explicitly sell it off to US PE firms to be sold off & run into the ground, whilst actually going for authortarianism (Reform sure as well won’t scrap the OSA).

3. Rich guy likes immigration, surprise surprise.

   Hey lefties, aren’t these people the enemy?

4. It’s not complicated. Whether you agree with him or not, he’s offering stricter immigration policies because that’s what many voters want. By the same logic, many people who care about the environment vote Green despite the party’s controversies. Voters have different priorities. If mainstream politicians made the effort to address what people are asking for, the extremes wouldn’t keep growing angrier and stronger.

5. Everyone so quick to bash farage and reform on reddit, Whats the alternative then ? Cause it sure aint the uni party

6. Farage is a Russian puppet and his party is a Trojan horse for Putin

7. Been trying to explain this to friends. They think Im telling them fake news. Starting to think they’re just thick.

8. No Idea Nige who championed austerity, Brexit, and Liz Truss’ budget, and now says the country’s in a mess is a con man? Shocker.

9. I loved his earnestness and passion here. I’m a new Theo Paphitis fan.

10. A kid was sick on this guys shoes at a restaurant my sister worked for. Said to my sister “well are you going to clean it off then?” As much as I agree with him, Theo is also an out of touch rich bloke

11. Easily said from an ivory tower. Try living and growing up in a neighbourhood where the demographics have been replaced in the last decade and now the place is a dump.

12. Have you listened to that cooc. He hates his employees and thinks everyone of them should bend to his will.
    He’s as bad as reform, he said recently he would sack someone of they didn’t work through their lunch because your work is more important that your food or break and if you think otherwise he didn’t want you working for him.

13. says man who campaigned and voted for Brexit. I know he has since changed his mind, but I feel I have to point that out for the sake of “full context”

14. “Feo fatits? Where your parents from? Not ere!!”

    Reform supporters, probably.

15. Unfortunately we’re at a point where a critical mass of people have decided they will vote Reform to get foreigners out and anything after, come what may. They will ignore any other negatives about Reform’s ability to govern. 

    It’s like the US, as long as some people get to suffer worse than them (ICE), then anything else is a bonus. When things in their lives inevitably fail to improve after Reform get in, they will just get more extreme and the overton window will shift even further.

16. I used to like Paphitis. Not any more. Sir Nigel will be our next Prime Minister.

17. The issue is that a lot of people (like myself) don’t wholly agree with Farage or the fact he loves America so much but at the same time these people feel the left are putting other countries first and other right wing countries are too self serving. Also before anyone says the same about reform, it’s the right wing party that appears the least so, at least to the general public. If only there was a party who prioritised improving our own country before others, followed through on illegal immigrant deportation, supported British culture but also supported progressive fines and state owned infrastructure 🙁

18. Why did he give him a fucking Merch idea? Genuinely….
