Doesn’t matter if they occurred. Legally itent is enough.
Plus entrapment is only government officials. They are really fucked and know it.
He’s such a fraud. No illegal transactions except the 3 polls we had them pay for…and acknowledged on camera were illegal.
Luckily the met police, like with Johnson, are only too keen to hide. Just seen this…
“A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police told the BBC that they are aware of the report “involving political party donations and an alleged breach of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 relating to polling”.
It is understood the force has not begun an investigation.
In response to the report, the Electoral Commission says “information about any potential attempt to evade the controls on donations is for the police to consider”.”
Does he think we don’t have eyes and ears?
It was quite clear, by the words they spoke and actions they took, they have done this before.
Classic DARVO. No one buys this shit any more. The zionist mindset and rhetorical devices seem to have been copied by every grifter and right wing prat the world over.
Here he comes again with his nazi Jedi mind control tricks.
The old adage “you can’t con an honest man” applies here.
He’s realising that blatant corruption may play well in the US but that playbook doesn’t wash here. He think he’ll get away with it by being the Poundland Trump. But we don’t hero worship our politicians. We don’t like these teats lining their own pockets. Thankfully our traditions of investigative journalism and political satire arent dead yet
Scum. Absolute scum.
Hey – any party can take any policy line. That is fine.
But *any* party that considers themselves above the rules can get to fuck.
Is funny to see Nick Ferrari not having his responses anymore like he used to. Surprised Farage interviewed with him again after last time.
Didn’t the Tories take hundreds of millions in funding donations from Putin allies? No treason charges for them!
Professional victim being a professional victim again. Someone else’s fault never him, though he is leader of party and should know what his closest aids are up to.
Just another 3 years for Farage to hold on till the next election, I’m sure he’ll bounce back again /s
The entrapment line is pure projection, why?
Because, had these individuals actually been genuine, reform representatives were encouraging them to break UK law, as foreign nationals.
Reform voters will say “Oh it is ok, it does bother us one little bit, we know all politicians are corrupt at least Nigel is speaking about our plight” 🤡
‘No illegal transaction occurred’, is technically true but only because Verbatim Investigations are a UK company. It’s like saying if I hire an undercover police officer posing as a hitman and use the defence ‘No one died’. Attempted murder! Now honestly what is that? Do they give a Nobel prize for attempted chemistry?
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command”
I’m going to get of nasty responses to this but there is no evidence that Nigel Farage knew the donation that was paid to Reform came from illegal source in the C4 documentation. The donation he is on video discussing was never actually paid to Reform.
I have no interest in my inbox exploding with nasty people screeching at me for stating facts, so I will turn off inbox replies.
>entrapped
He said the same thing when his canvassers were found to be using racial slurs, its strange how easy it is to trap Reform into doing these sorts of things, almost like it would be happening anyway.
Please, let’s not go down the path of US politics and allow blatant corruption to become the norm.
It’s not entrapment if it happens all voluntarily. At any point the Reform aides could’ve pushed back and said no
“It’s completely fine because the undercover journalists never actually made the illegal £500,000 donation we’re on camera asking them for” isn’t exactly an airtight defence, is it, Nige?
On the face of it, if by the end of this someone hasn’t gone to jail then there’s something seriously wrong with this country. And it’s not just because I don’t like Farage. Any politician / political party that’s breaking the law needs to be held accountable in the same way we would be if we broke the law – including the current government and even a sitting PM. No one is above the law.
if this fucker does not instantly nauseate you there’s something seriously wrong with you.
Not sure about this. There is evidence he knows about the polling paid for by the donor and that he knows the donor is not a UK citizen. Also quite a lot evidence that he has structured his organisation to insulate himself from these kind of issues which would also warrant investigation
Reminiscent of Nixon and Clinton there. We all know what the true story he is but Farage has to deny it to try and keep up the pretence he has a shred of dignity and honour.
Too right, what a trashy story.
I bet the source material has been deleted.
I don’t think he knows the difference, he just does a thing and hopes for the best, unfortunately everything he does is down right shady so more than likely he’s breaking the law
Entrapped into doing nothing illegal? How’s that work?
Glossing over the fact he clearly says on camera that he can take whatever donations he likes and that nobody will do anything about it.
They were entrapped by someone offering them a bribe?
They could have said no, I suppose….
