Farage Ltd and Similar Watch

Amazing that they would accept money from us to take back people they really really really would love to torture to death.

Sad thing is, many people in this country will shrug their shoulders and accept it happening.

They won't shrug their shoulders, they'll actively welcome it. The comments are mostly sickening.
 
Wouldnt that just incentivise the Taliban to encourage Afghans to come to the UK?
 
BadEnoch and honest Bob have already labelled it as the Government being on the side of asylum seekers and have urged Tory councils to keep challenging courts in their local areas.
Eevry interview should call them both out that they were both in Government when hotel use was at its highest.
 
Well it's not like they'd been in power the previous 14 years to do anything about it...
 
Union Jacks put up on the approach roads a couple of weeks ago now joined last night by ones on every single lamppost along the high street. Emotions running very high on both sides so going to be interesting watching this one play out.

Farage is in the US to give a speech to Congress about free speech in the UK. A Democrat (Jamie Raskin) has shared his thoughts on Farage to Congress before Farage himself speaks.


Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the House judiciary committee, says they do have free speech in the UK. He says Keir Starmer has not shut down GB News, even though Farage has a show on that station in which he criticises the government and calls for bans on peaceful protests.

He says Farage is able to parrot “Putin’s absurd talking points” on TV. He goes on:

For a man who fancies himself to some kind of a free speech martyr, Mr Farage seems most at home with the autocrats and dictators of the world who are crushing freedom on earth.
He says Farage wants to get rid of the Online Safety Act. But if he wants to do that, he should be advancing those arguments in the UK parliament, which is meeting today, Raskin says.

He goes on:

To the people of the UK who think this Putin-loving, free speech imposter and Trump sycophant will protect freedom in your country, come over to America and see what Trump and Mega are doing to destroy our freedom, kidnap college students off the street, ban books from our libraries, militarise our police and unleash them against our communities, take over our universities … You might think twice before you let Mr Farage “make Britain great again”.
 
Farage has been absolutely and utterly taken apart by a couple of senators, they’ve not let him spread his bullshit in replies, I’d love to think this would be the end of him, it won’t, but it’s nice to dream

They had the guy that took him apart on Newsnight last night. Victoria Derbyshire is normally very good on taking whichever UK politician apart but for this segment she went along with BBC impartiality and effectively raised concerns with the US politician on how the UK has issues around the free speech subject. Quite bizarre as a spectacle and I’m not blaming her it’s just how the interview went that the Democratic was Championing the UK and she had to play devils advocate.

I was thinking more about the government as opposed to the media tbh.
 
Farage on comedians making jokes….

Brand, who joined the Heresy talk show on Radio 4 as a guest on Tuesday, joked about throwing battery acid at “unpleasant characters” instead of milkshakes.

Nigel Farage, the leader of the Brexit party and one of several European election candidates that had milkshakes thrown on them in recent weeks, tweeted: “This is incitement of violence and the police need to act.”

Farage on police taken action in comedians inciting violence ….

Farage was giving evidence two days after Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport on suspicion of inciting violence in relation to posts on the social media site X.
"This could happen to any American man or woman that goes to Heathrow that has said things online that the British government and British police don't like.
"At what point did we become North Korea?"

Do they say who is donating?

PA:

The Tories received £2.9m in private donations in the second quarter of the year, down from £3.4m in the first three months of 2025.

A third of the Conservatives’ total came in the form of a £1m donation from video game entrepreneur Jez San, following an earlier £1m gift to the party in February.

The party also received £250,000 from its current treasurer, Graham Edwards, and another £200,000 from businessman Kamal Pankhania, half personally and half through one of his companies, Westcombe Homes.

Despite the fall in donations, the Conservatives still out-raised Labour, which received £2.6m in donations, slightly more than the £2.4m it declared between January and March.

More than half of that figure came from trade unions, including £746,000 from Unite, which has threatened to “re-examine” its relationship with Labour over the government’s handling of a long-running strike by refuse workers in Birmingham.

Other donations included £442,000 from the GMB union, £246,000 from Usdaw and £106,000 from the Communication Workers Union.

Labour’s largest private donation during the period came in the form of £80,000 from property company Activepine, owned by Birmingham-based businessman Maqbool Ahmed.

Donations to the Liberal Democrats fell by around half, to just £773,597, while despite Reform UK’s consistent lead in the polls, donations to Nigel Farage’s party remained relatively steady at £1.4m.

Reform’s donations, slightly down from the £1.5m in the previous three months, included £300,000 from the party’s treasurer, Nick Candy, and £200,000 from Lebanese-born businessman Bassim Haidar, who claimed last year he planned to leave the UK over plans to scrap the non-dom tax status.

Farage’s party also accepted £100,000 from Greybull Capital, the company which bought a struggling British Steel in 2019 before selling it to Chinese company Jingye later that year.

The Conservatives said Reform had “once again fallen short”, claiming donors were “clearly expressing continued hesitancy about their ongoing internal mess and billions in unfunded spending commitments”.

Tory chairman Kevin Hollinrake said the figures “underline the continued strength of support behind the Conservative party”, adding: “We are building momentum quarter after quarter, and it is clear that people recognise and believe in Kemi’s mission of Conservative renewal.”

Parties must declare all donations of more than £11,180, as well as smaller donations that add up to more than this figure.
