Left wing media stitch up. The establishment don’t want Farage so have scraped the barrel finding people from 50 years ago to say he is a racist and anti semite. I’m no Farage fan but anyone with half a brain can see what’s happening here.

Are you saying he doesn’t hold those views & never did?
Or are you perfectly happy to have a potential PM with those views?

Have said before if these allegations were about Starmer you’d be outraged

You, and, seemingly, many like you, absolutely need (NEED) Farage to be a Nazi: cannot forgive him for the very popular and successful Brexit, cannot forgive him for successfully challenging traditional 2-party politics.

I see that the Guardian (fully supported by the BBC) are now doing a full-on Nazi/Goebbels on Farage.

The spite of the left when they can't get their own way (and then impose it on everybody else) knows no bounds.

If that is what you need, so be it. The law on possessing a TV licence to legally watch TV was not of my doing; learning about all aspects of it's enforcement was.

Sounds here like you are very much on the side of TV licence dodgers - criminals. Does being so make you feel edgy and a bit of a geezer?

Oh. and being labelled a hypocrite by you, of all people, is very deep into pot & kettle territory.

The BBC (lackey) clearly hoped that Farage would be intimidated and he was quite the opposite.

And everything he said about the BBC output at the time he was alleged to have made his oh-so-offensive remarks is true - I know, I grew up (allegedly) then.

Classroom/playground humour back then was encouraged by BBC mainstream programming. Not sure whether it was under the Inform, Educate or Entertain charter remit clause, but it was there, in virtually every living room/lounge of every house in the UK, every day.

This can't be true, this is the totally IMPARTIAL BBC we're talking about. An institution of such moral integrity and sense of fairness would never stoop to this kind of thing.
What cracks me up is not only was the audience loaded up, but so was the panel, as per which I find remarkable considering the serious heat on them for clear Politcial bias involving Trump. I'm almost impressed by their arrogance and superiority to just carry on doing it in plain sight after everything. Almost psychopathic.

I think that delving back into someone’s past especially when remarking on things said by an individual in their formative years is indicative of some kind of desperation.

In terms of what Farage has admitted to saying and doing back then it shows how someone who was prepared to to engage in anti semitic bullying has been able to transition to adulthood putting that sort of juvenile behaviour behind him.

It’s what we are like as adults that count and we should ultimately be judged by our grown up words and deeds. And in Farage’s case there is plenty to take him to task on so leave his young life out of things.

just heard that Question-Time on the BBC last night, allowed 'illegal migrants to have their say on QT's Immigration-Special. Apparently it was revealed that one of the migrants had an  ear-piece in when answering questions. It was also muted that it was a rigged audience with hardly any dissenting voices but lots of rapturous applause for Zack Polanski who wants 'open' boarders... QT was held in Dover, not the most pro-immigration area.

in other news, looks like Lammy has forgot to shut the gate, re-Labour's plans for rejoining the EU via the back door.

what is it with the Establishment in this country?... smoke, mirrors & lies.

It's clearly a targetted attempt to argue for his and reform's removal from the ballot. The same way the Germans are trying to prevent the AfD from gaining power.

If Starmer doesn't cancel all future general elections, even if Reform won, they will try and tie Russian influence to it, like in Romania. 

There really is no future in democracy for the far left, they want a global dictatorship.

Rather than start a new thread, thought this one would be as good as any.

Does anyone else receive work messages around this time of year, a ‘gentle reminder’ to you all, to bear in mind others faiths, around Christmas blah, blah, blah

Can anyone explain to me how this isn’t discrimination in itself? 

The people who send these messages would not dream to send the same to us all around Eid or Passover, as they realise this would be wrong and it would also create a shitstorm.

So how can the Christmas message not be outright discrimination?

If you’re lucky like me, you might also work with similar imbeciles, who will send this kind of message out, followed quickly by another one, encouraging colleagues to turn up in Christmas jumpers at the next meeting.
