Nigel Farage Is a Racist

The media is refusing to state the most bleedingly obvious facts about a man whose entire career has been devoted to pursuing a racist political agenda

Nigel Farage is a racist. That is my honestly held opinion based on absolutely everything he has said and done since entering politics in the late nineties.

To say so should not even be a matter of controversy. In recent years the Reform leader has:

• Said he would be worried about living next door to Romanians

• Claimed that parts of Britain are “like a foreign land” due to the presence of immigrant communities

• Said he felt uncomfortable hearing foreign people speak

• Defended a candidate who used a racist slur against Chinese people

• Claimed the “Jewish lobby” has too much power in the US

• Said that British Muslims do not share British values

• Described America’s first black President as “that Obama creature”

• Spread a fabricated quote suggesting that Labour’s Scottish leader Anas Sarwar said South Asian people are “going to take over the country and take over the world”

As well as his on-the-record comments, multiple former associates of Farage have reported him making even more explicitly racist statements away from the public eye.
