For the first time in his career Farage has a real chance at being in Government, either alone or in coalition with the Tories, where he can make a real difference. All he has to do is make sure that the conservative leaning vote is not divided among multiple parties, and to let Labour continue to destroy itself.

Tommy Robinson is not nearly as popular in the UK as he is with Freepers. He probably does not belong prison, but most voters in the UK think he is obnoxious.

Associating with him gets Reform nothing, and would actually help Labour. Reform can only hurt itself by associating with him.

I don't know, I remember a pretty impressive demonstration in London a couple years ago on his behalf, and it was packed. It looked like a Trump rally from the photos I saw. Of course, our media completely ignored it.

Fair enough. Then there is no reason I should care about or wish Farange well.
I see nothing in him coming to power that is good for England or America. Just more of the same with a W Bush tone.
I know he doesn’t care about my support. But like Elon, I am a free speech absolutist. And he does want Elon to care.
