“Should not have gone after Lowe.” Exactly right.
Farage seems to be to be trying to walk a tightrope of trying to take advantage of the sentiment of a large block of voters who are fed up to the gills with all the Muslims the Labour Party is bringing into the UK and, on the other hand, not offending the polite society (mainstream journalists, etc.) who will try to paint Farage as an out-of-touch extremist. So, he will not say anything good about Tommy Robinson and has recently butted heads with Rupert Lowe on immigration matters (Lowe has taken a harder line on immigration than Farage). I’m not so sure the tightrope act is going to work for Farage.
