Nigels view on how to stop the riots.

[Mottie]

If you are genuinely interested in hearing all sides, watch it all before you poo poo it.

 

[Notch7]

Nigel Farage is responsible for the riots


the way to prevent the riots is to stop misinformation being spread by public figures like Farage.

 

[Mottie]

What misinformation has he spread? Did you watch it? What in that video do you take issue with and why?

 

[Charlie George]

Don't like the man, but agree with most of what he said.

 

[JonathanM]

Truly awful video I would say.

It's mostly a mixture of conflation, straw men and false equivalency.

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Lieing through his teeth.

Just go back to his original comments and compare them

" wasn't me guv "

 

[Trazor]

Some say good old Nigel.

 

[JonathanM]

What in that video do you take issue with and why?

He ends with a massive straw man. Something along the lines of, please don't tell the British people that having concerns about immigration makes you far right. Nobody had said that. The rioters who are trying to burn down hotels and mosques with people inside, whilst chanting vile racist slogans, are being called far right.

[Munroast]

I don't like Farage, but he is correct in what he is saying

In fact I would imagine the riots are the very last thing he wants, these idiotic rioters will have done more good for migration than harm, anyone on the fence a few weeks back will now be on the side of the migrants.

 

[JonathanM]

What in that video do you take issue with and why?

There is lots of false equivalency. Some of it was so lame. "And some cars even had their tyres slashed" Yes, that's exactly the same as injuring a hundred police officers who are trying to prevent hotels and mosques with people inside from being burnt down?

And the stuff about two tier policing was also lame. He compared people defacing a statue to people trying to burn down hotels and mosques with people inside, whilst chanting vile racist slogans.

Of course the police response to those committing very dangerous, violent and possibly lethal acts will be different to those committing graffiti.

What misinformation has he spread? Did you watch it? What in that video do you take issue with and why?

1) He tweeted “are the police not telling us the truth”

A blatant dog whistle to conspiracy theorists

2) He blames the riots on the police not giving out the details earlier….rather than blaming the people who were spreading misinformation.

3) he dishonestly started asking if the person was on the terrorist list…a cynical way to get his supporters to believe the perpetrator was a terrorist

4) Farage has been ramping up hatred of foreigners for decades


Farage is very devious, he knows how to play the plausible deniability game

 

[Notch7]

Anybody charged with violence at these Farage Riots should be sent to Rwanda….they can’t complain because they claimed it’s an effective deterrent

I would agree entirely with that apart from the Farage bit - if anything they were the Labour riots, the utter despair that the left is now in charge - more wokeness & more migrants seem inevitable

 

[JonathanM]

No, this started before the rw riots, total inaction in leeds made the police look farcical - then they showed us they can police when it is white people rioting.

First of all, it was mainly white (Romanian) people rioting in Leeds. Secondly, the police were caught unawares, it was a spontaneous riot and they weren't in any position to react. Plenty of arrests were made afterwards.

But that aside, are we saying that far right rioters should be allowed to burn down mosques and hotels with people inside because the police got things wrong in Harehills? This is so lame and desperate. And more than a little bit bonkers!
