FARAGE: This could be last American president who has an emotional attachment to Britain
TV ^ | Jan 5 | RF

Posted on 01/05/2025 1:25:42 AM PST by RandFan

Nigel Farage on the Sunday shows in the UK

He says Starmer has a choice to make: Tie yourself to a failing Europe or associate with a booming America under Donald Trump in terms of trade deals.

I missed most of what he said on the rape gangs I had the volume turned down 😳

Will check the news.

He was talking about Trump’s affection for the UK (not the present incumbent, excuse me !! )

He said he will end Ukraine war and bring peace.

That’s’ about it ... Most of it was on the Muslim gangs which i missed

I’m sure the news will cover that intently

By "emotional attachment," I think he was referring to President Trump's mother Mary Anne MacLeod Trump having been born in Scotland in 1912.

Farage is probably thinking that the era of Ellis Island and the European migration to the United States is generationally over with the eventual passing of the immediate families of Ellis Island immigrants like Trump and his affection for his mother's homeland.

Future generations of Presidents won't have parents who embraced the "melting pot" of the United States the way that those immigrants did and then passed those family values down to their children.

From this link:

In an interview broadcast on BBC One on Sunday morning, Farage said the public is "absolutely right to be" angry about grooming gangs.

He went on: "I just think people ask themselves, what has happened to our country? How could this possibly have happened? Why did everybody want to cover it up? Why has there been no full public inquiry?"

On this issue Frage has not been a straight shooter, and stays roughly within the bounds of the Tories and other now reawakened "anti-rape politicians".

NB: Farage has spent a lot of time on GB News. One of the first meida personalities who brought up the issue of the Pakistani rape gangs was Mark Steyn - on GB News:

The Shame of England

There is precious little left of England and almost nothing of Britain worthy of an emotional attachment today.

For those of my generation who grew up, educated and exposed to the greatness of Britain from Chaucer and Shakespeare and the King James Bible, from Magna Carta to their finest hour and, yes, Robin Hood and his band of merry men, the fall of Britain has been sad and as depressing as the loss of a near relative and as grievous as a loss of heritage.

United Kingdom today consists of a prosperous but decadent city state and provinces that are practically speaking competing for ranking among struggling nations of the Third World. Beyond London, Britain is in fact failing nation. Within a London, it is competing with San Francisco.

Like virtually every other Western nation Britain has inflicted its problems on itself through a masochistic admixture of leftist economics and grotesquely misplaced immigration policy. The reaction to the immigration policies and economic decline that afflicts much of Europe is the spawning of Trump like parties in Germany, Austria, Italy and, of course, Britain as well as many others.

It May well be too late for America, despite the prediction of Nigel Farage of a bright American future, but it is much more likely too late for Britain. It is not easy hyperbole to insist that governments of every one of these nations must put their fiscal houses in order or learn to speak Chinese because financial collapse will bring on the collapse of the West and the inevitable ascendancy of China.

Nigel Farage and his antics will be keeping the Labour party in power for the next decade and beyond... He’s split the Conservative party and that can’t be good. Only one party can benefit from that. The Labour party.

No. He was referring to the traditional bond of brotherhood between the two nations based on shared culture and ethnicity.

Your take is proof he may be right.

You defend the Tories far too much. They delivered zero of their promises so the voters abandoned them. It’s probably gonna happen the Republican Party too if they keep failing.

Really? So what was the "emotional" attachment that Farage spoke of? What you wrote seems pretty generic to me. Why won't future Presidents have a "traditional bond of brotherhood," too? What's special that makes it "emotional?"

If it's "based on shared culture and ethnicity" as you say, wouldn't it be more on the British to be the last since England is being taken over by Muslims?

Disregarding what you say, it is quite obvious you can not reason.

Farage said that Trump may be the “last”. Now, by saying “last” he is also saying that there have been others before him. No other president has had a mother that was born in the U K.

Anyone with a sense of history knows that there has always been a bond between England and the United States for the reasons I gave.

A hundred years ago, British and American writers would say “we” and “us” when writing about various shared topics or events between the two nations.

We kicked their asses at Yorktown. It was for a reason. They’ve always had a superiority complex towards others, thus their big-time colonialist experience. Now they’re being overrun. Moozlem London mayor. It’s lost.

I know what you’re saying as I said the same if Trump ran as an Independent. But in UK it’s far worse than the US, as there is literally no difference between the parties. Even before the election, the Republicans at least tried to have a different stand than the Democrats on Immigration, Child Butchering, and Ukraine. In the UK, the Conservatives are right in line with Labor (arguably worse).

There really was no choice for Farage in the UK as the ‘Conservatives’ are TOTALLY captured by the Globalists.

The UK has degenerated into Mediocre Britain.

There is a movement to rejoin the EU.

The UK is not really doing very well. Will it join Trump’s America or failing leaderless Germany

I understand its politics and Nigel is trying to become the next Prime Minister of the UK but it really irks me to listen to him trash Tommy Robinson who has been a stalwart activist against these grooming gangs.
