I spent 30 years serving in the police. Farage and his fellow travellers know as little about Criminal Justice and Policing as they do about reopening coal mines and restarting blast furnaces.
The messages they send are intended to further legitimise racial prejudices and violent actions driven by them.
It is beyond irony that a significant proportion of the target audience, you know the ones who want to burn humans to cinders are themselves people with convictions.
The sort that are handed down in a court. The riots last year? 40% of those arrested had been convicted of domestic violence and similar offences.
This is not about protecting potential victims it is in reality intended to give the already criminal license to commit further crimes.
Ugh. The thought of Farage and his merry band of gammon based wankers getting into power makes me feel like vomiting my innards out. And the fact that there's even people in Scotland considering voting for them is a total head fuck! 🤯 It feels like we've slipped into an alternate universe that anyone could remotely consider him and his gaggle of those who should have been swallowed a viable option for running the UK govt. I mean, can you imagine? They're all such a waste of oxygen that they should apologise to the trees. FUUUUUCK!
(Excuse my sweariness. Former very chill, now perimenopausal, rage addled gen Xer here).
Hmmm. Coming on the heels of the news from the other side of the pond, I wonder if Nigel has been chatting with his pal Donnie on Signal? D believes crime is running rampant so that he needs to take over the police himself and call in the military, and yet the numbers show he is full of lies. One wants to laugh at how idiotic both men behave, but they are distractions from the real evils they are unleashing with their actions - the racism, bigotry, hate, and so on that these men are enabling and encouraging. :(
Farage is copying Trump, Trump is claiming that Washington DC is lawless, unsafe and the murder capital of America, it isn't even in the top 10 of cities for crime and violence. However Trump has managed to get 800 NG troops on the ground and get Bondi in charge of local LEOs.
Blue cities especially Chicago, Baltimore, NY and LA watch your backs, your next.
Poundland Farage is trying the same tactic and possibly looking at stoking the fear.
I keep misreading this as "The Great British Bear Factory". We definitely need one of those - lots more Bears might restore a semblance of common sense.

Excellent analysis of a modern cult leadership with their following.
