Analysis of more than 4,000 of Reform UK leader’s paid-for Cameo videos also shows they contain misogynistic remarks and antisemitic conspiracies
The unearthing of the videos could prove damaging to Farage, whose party is leading in the polls in the UK.
I would bet everything I own that there will be 0 consequences from this
Reform voters want him to be like that. It reflects their own prejudices and fantasies of what it’d be like to express their own shitty id.
Farage has been losing support recently for a few reasons, this is one more. whilst the core 30% of bastards won’t shift much, this will make it hard for reform to spread into the more nuanced demographics.
Turns out being a trump fanboy just isn’t much of a vote winner right now
There are two types of reform voter. The first type of the racist bigots that would just vote for reform whatever (although reform are losing some of them to Rupert Lowe’s party) and the second type are the people that are fed up with the current establishment and just want some kind of anti-establishment party they can vote for. And they just put up with the racism.
The more and more videos that come out showing how much of an actual Nazi he is, the less those people can tolerate the racism and the fewer support him. I would be willing to bet that the majority of reforms support are these second group. The out and out bigots have always been an extremely vocal minority.
I really hope you’re right. If so the greens stand a pretty good chance
Yep. The people supporting him either already agree with the statements or will convince themselves it’s not a problem.
The media will kick up a small fuss, it’ll be forgotten about within days, and Reform polling numbers will be unaffected. It’s depressing but I can’t imagine it going any other way.
Reform support has slowly but steadily been dropping for months now. Is it because their supporters are dying off, or because their supporters can’t tell the difference between Reform and Restore? Who can say? But Reform have peaked and are now fading. Don’t present them as inevitable
After five years in the UK, I’ve been noticing a lot of self-fulfilling prophecies. Is that normal, or?
Idk, his support might go up as consequence.
Nothing better than him being scolded on RTÉ a few years back for saying “up the ra” for £87
