  1. If nothing else, you’d hope this puts the ‘St. Lucy and Her Two Tier Justice’ farrago to bed.

  2. Stick to calling him a cunt. No reason to threaten to kill him.

  4. >On 12 October Mr Farage uploaded a video to YouTube titled “the journey of an illegal migrant” which highlighted Khan and referenced “young males of fighting age coming into our country about whom we know very little”.

    Well Farage is not wrong. We’re playing Russian roulette with who we’re letting in.

  5. GB news preparing to have a whole year convo about this

  6. Nigel the fascist farage is a cunt yes sir but let’s stick to calling him such and not giving him death threats

  7. Good. Doesn’t matter who the politician is, threatening murder is obscene.

  8. We need a returns agreement with the Taliban, otherwise we’re stuck with people like this guy for their entire lives.

  10. Political violence is wrong.

    The killing of Jo Cox was wrong.

    The killing of David Amess was wrong.

    The killing of Nigel Farage would be wrong.

  14. I look forward to the Lucy Connoly defenders demanding this be repealed /s

  16. 20 million people are helping police with their enquiries…

  17. This is the sort of thing that I *hope* we can all agree is completely unacceptable and has no place in our politics. I’m pretty much a lefty and abhore Farage’s rhetoric, but violence (or threats) isn’t going to bring people together. Like it or loathe it, he’s got a right to spout his bile and that’s an important liberty.

  18. Violence should not be the answer within Politics. Farage is a skid mark on this Country, but he should not be subject to violence against his life, etc.

    Besides, this just gives his base more ammo so to speak. Don’t like him?, don’t vote for him…..simples.

  19. ALmost impossible to guess sentencing without more information. The guidance is here:

    [https://sentencingcouncil.org.uk/guidelines/threats-to-kill/](https://sentencingcouncil.org.uk/guidelines/threats-to-kill/)

    Harm is a factor. We don’t know how upset Farage was. Or how upset he says he was.

    We do know he was found guilty so no reduction for guilty plea (which is something that confuses people).

    I’d guess B is the highest culpability level and guessing level 2 harm, that gives a 1 year custody starting point.

    I have no idea if someone recently arrived can argue good character (no UK convictions but….)

  20. Death threats are not cool and immature.

    There are other ways to handle Reform and Farage.

  21. What a wrong un’. Obviously this is this is the kind of guy we don’t want here and should be deported.

    Issue if for so many people there’s no nuance, all the boat people are either like this guy or all angels who just want a better live. Truth if they are all different people with their own reasons for being here and some are gonna be grand and some are wrong ‘uns like this guy.

    Why we need a through system to stop the wrong ‘uns and fairly consider those with genuine asylum claims quickly.

  22. > I come to England because I want to marry with your sister …. I’m coming to England. I’m going to pop, pop, pop.”

    >Mr Ratliff told the jury that while Khan said “pop, pop, pop” he had made “gun gestures” with his hand and headbutted the camera.

    >Khan had also pointed towards an AK-47 tattoo on his face to “emphasise he wasn’t joking”. …The prosecutor added: “If you’ve got an AK-47 tattooed on your arm and your face, it’s because you love AK-47s and you want the world to know that.”

    Jail for  tiktok and a tattoo?   I’m surprised it went through without more supporting evidence.

    Whether it’s this or that reform lady it does feel like as a society we just don’t know how to handle the legal landscape of social media. Don’t be fucking stupid would obviously be the starting point, I almost feel like incitement is the bigger crime; most of these social media personalities won’t do shit as they care about likes and views, but encouragement could lead to people who are less mentally stable following through.

    Can you get community service for threatening to murder? Feels like a lot of these cases *are* people being actual idiots and need discouraging, but jail for edgy tiktoks or tweets feels a bit mad.

  23. Bloody freedom of speech being restricted yet again. Imagine being arrested for making a YouTube video.

  24. Ahh fuck now we are going to have to listen to that frog faced chinless wonder whining about being a victim for a year or so.

  26. Would I threaten his life? Of course not.

    Will I throw a party when he dies? Of course I will.

    That bollock with a frog’s face drawn on it has caused more harm to our country than anyone else over the past thirty years, and some times it’s ok to acknowledge that the world would be better without some people in it.

  27. Mental, I worked at a mental health residential ward, a residents past abuser started texting her saying he was going to rape her again and kill her. Sent pictures of himself with a machete outside of the house and detailed over text the abuse he was planning to do to her. Police said there wasn’t enough evidence to prosecute. But this guy makes a video with a hand action and because it’s a politician boom guilty. Two tier policing system in place

  28. Good.
    Your right to free speech ends when you infringe on the right for others to feel safe.

  29. I’m found guilty of thinking Slimy Nigel Farage is a massive tosser

  30. Part of me wants to say. I thought Nigel was for all for freedom of speech and stopping all this over reaction to hurry words. The larger part says good he was found guilty.

  31. Wait a second aren’t they the freedom of speech brigade? I guess this guy will be a reform martyr soon? Next years conference speaker already booked in guess?

  32. Id imagine there have been a few people say things like that. Not wise.

  33. Why are we even letting people like him into the country?

    We are such a soft touch and everyone is just taking advantage.

  34. how many rap videos do exactly the same and no one cares.
