But having appeared to help stoke the conspiracy theories fueling the outbreak of lawlessness and disorder which broke out in response to the shocking killing of three little girls in the northern England town of Southport, Farage is currently at pains to distance himself from the man seen by many as the figurehead of the rioting: Robinson.

The mass stabbing in Southport has sparked days of violence across the U.K, with hundreds arrested.

Just two weeks after Robinson paid fealty to Reform at the London rally, he was angrily tweeting at Farage, for suggesting Robinson was someone who “stir[s] up hatred” and helped incite the rioting.

I try not to engage with anything this shithead is involved in, but,

Blaming the left for unrest

As in a number of other towns and cities yesterday, the anti-fash here in Southampton MASSIVELY outnumbered the thugs who'd come to protest. The end result was...no unrest, no violence, nothing got smashed up.

'The Left' aren't the ones getting arrested over all this.

I'm proud of Southampton! Only 10 shitheads, and hundreds of anti-racists. Good showing everyone

Same in Bristol. This was their second attempt to try, and this time most of them just got back on the coach/train after seeing 1500 anti-fascists out in song.

Admittedly, it was petrifying to see part of town boarded up in the morning out of fear of damage, but ultimately what we saw was a symbol of defiance against the right.

Is he working for Russia to undermine UK on purpose? Or is he really that dense?

Remember when Nigel was in that plane crash but lived?

I often ponder how differently things might have gone if only that plane was going a shade faster.

Nigel "my work here is done" Farage?

The guy who worked hard as F for Brexit until the morning after the Brexit side won.... Then his work was very conveniently done and the rest was for someone else to deal with....?

Oh .. That little slimy rat...ok.

I wonder how many cricket balls Farage could fit inside his giant mouth...
