has a racist past
He has a racist present and future, too.
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Why, I just don't know who to believe. The racist liar claiming he wasn't always a racist or the people who says he a liar and a racist. It's a though call, man.
Ok not knowing anything about this guy I was thinking that if he was some dumb kid but was a decent adult I wouldn't have cared much but if it's a life long commitment that's good to know

In summary: He's a craven, disingenuous and asinine cunt.
Wtf is this it a point of discussion if a racist was racist in the past or not?
There are a number of people on the right who won't support a racist, but are still stupid / naive / gullible enough to believe his current lies. 'Farage doesn't hate black and brown people, he's just protecting us from the nasty refugees', those kind of morons.
If there's evidence that he's always been racist, some of them might stop supporting him and vote for someone else, lessening his chance of getting any real power.
It's a slim chance, but it's worth pushing.
No evidence except the eyewitness testimony of 20 people, including one of his mates at the time.
Racist past... racist present... racist, fascist, grifting POS is always going to be a racist fascist grifting POS... His name should be Forage... because he's always foraging for bribes and cash to line his own pockets.
Nazi lives do not matter.
