Fear of an assassination attempt and threats aimed at his children helped push Nigel Farage to resign as Ukip leader.
The Sunday Times can reveal suspected attackers were caught on at least two separate occasions trying to bring knives into Brexit rallies attended by Farage during the EU referendum campaign.
Both events are understood to have taken place in the north of England, including one leave rally in Newcastle, according to an informed source.
Recent threats regarded as credible by police are also thought to have been made against Farages daughters, Isabelle, 11, and Victoria, 16.

I had not heard much about this except some rapper who apparently had threatened to gang rape his daughters. We are dealing with seriously evil people.
Cheers.

We forget houe much guys like him and Donald are putting on the line.
Except i have the feeling Donald can afford a lot more for security for his family than Farage.
Still risky

Doesn’t surprise me. Progressives are very violent people.

The frequency of these attacks is only going to increase. As the African and muslim population grows and becomes more emboldened by the old media, fueled by funding from both orgs, more is expected.

1. Any leader nowadays is going to be bombarded with threats, mostly empty, from wackos.
2. Farage knew the stakes and only upon winning did he and Johnson skedaddle. Shameful.
To: Eurotwit
Disgraceful....absolutely despicable.My money's on Schultz,Junker and Barosso.But I suppose Van Rumpoy might have been involved.Comments like “damp rag” and “low grade bank clerk” can stick with a guy.

or, back off and out of the limelight for a while. Nigel has accomplished his goal and can now watch from the stands as things play out.
after things cool off, he can re enter the fray
time is part of the process
like bert says...... “history is a process, not an event”

Which begs the question, what does one do in a democratic, civil society when violent people seriously threaten to violently kill you and your family and then start to follow through on those threats.
Until a crime is actually committed, our system often protects the bad more than it protects the potential victims so unless you can afford a full time security detail for your family is screwed.
The only real solution to this Progressive Leftist intimidation is the proactive one developed in Latin America in the 70s and 80s

Doesnt surprise me. Progressives are very violent people. Yes they are, but they are also cowards.

Many people can be found who will kill for socialism.
The enemy’s great weakness is that they don’t have enough who are willing to die for it.
