I love Nigel, but he is toxic and unacceptable as a leader.
His ideas and concepts are the only thing that can save the UK from the diversity disaster that has destroyed a once great nation

The UK must elect Tories that will cast off the German EU stupidity and actively and aggressively become the American trading pardner of first order

Musk needs to chill out, and step back!
And STFU now.
Having a sh!t ton of money doesn’t equate with being right, every time you open your mouth.

Does anyone see the UK’s Deep State going after Farage...

I don’t, either.

Enoch Powell is turning over in his grave.

No. Farage has refused to even acknowledge that what is being done to Tommy Robinson is political imprisonment, at best. At worst, he’s condoning the treatment of Tommy and writing off ‘his kind of people’....which are a huge part of the Reform base.

I’ve feared for a while that Farage is nothing but a typical politician, an opportunist. Many see that Tommy exposed government and media corruption...and that is what he’s really being punished for. He’s reached beyond the media ‘racist’ smear-label but Farage can’t see past it, even though he’s been a direct recipient of cancel-culture, he should know better.

Is Tommy an angel? No. He wouldn’t claim to be....but dismissing him as a ‘criminal’ because the system has found ways to imprison him multiple times, NEVER INCLUDING A JURY, is cowardice.

I COMPLETELY AGREE with Elon. This all became a problem this week after Farage made comments about Tommy. Could Farage call for a rally and get 100,000+ to march in London as Tommy did? I don’t think so. He doesn’t realize the support Tommy has and it’s a problem.

Ask Mark Steyn.

He is no fan of Farage.

Tommy Robinson violated a court injunction not to repeat allegations that a civil court found to be libelous. He admitted as such in court and was willing to take the consequences.

Under US law you can also be sued for making libelous and defamatory statements, and if found guilty, subject to a court injunction banning you from repeating them and potentially jailed for contempt of court if you violate that court order.

I can’t really comment on whether the verdict on his comments being libelous was a fair one. He says they weren’t, the court said they were. Regardless, there was an injunction on him repeating them and he did it anyway, which is why he is in jail.

There have been plenty of other people who have pointed out these atrocities who have not been jailed because they did not lose any civil court cases by people suing them resulting in injunctions that were subsequently violated.

Farage has a measured reaction. Let’s see what happens.

No but I wish he would not spread himself so thin voicing his opinion on the state of every country and focus more on DOGE.

I wish Musk hadn’t pissed in Farage’s Cheerios. Farage should be Britain’s PM.

Also running around in my mind the JD Vance Kemi Badenoch meeting some week back. Badenoch leads the Conservatives.

Good luck with that.

LOL.

Musk was taking shots at the Labour Party government the other day and getting heat for it.

Maybe this is his way of distracting.

Freepers used to care about illegal immigration to the U.S.

Tommy Robinson illegally used someone else’s passport to try to enter our country. Officials at JFK Airport spotted the ruse, and Robinson had to go home.

The UK took a dim view of this caper, and prosecuted him. Robinson, or whatever his name really is, took a plea, in which he “admitted possession of a false identity document with improper intention.” https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-20935502

Of course, Musk himself was an illegal immigrant (he entered the U.S. on a student visa but violated the terms of his admission). I guess he feels some solidarity with this particular class of criminal.

He’s making it harder to like him as much as I did. I never knew he had such a big ego and he needs to stay in his lane. He doesn’t seem to be learning this.
It’s troubling
Someone needs to reel him in and tell him we need a single voice. It’s gotten ridiculous.
He’s definitely gone down a few notches in my opinion

I do agree Farage does appear to have limitations

But folks need to understand the UK is used to statism
