Conservative British politician and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage has left his talk show at LBC radio after he made comments comparing the Black Lives Matter supporters to the Taliban.

Farage faced a storm of backlash after tweeting about protesters demonstrating against police brutality and racial discrimination. Protests in the United States over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died while police custody, have spread around the world, including England.

“A new form of the Taliban was born in the UK today,” Farage tweeted Sunday. “Unless we get moral leadership quickly our cities won't be worth living in.”

11 Jun: HuffPo: Exclusive: Global Media Staff Demanded ‘Racist’ Nigel Farage’s Removal From LBC
Staff member tells HuffPost UK they are glad to see former Ukip leader go, and calls for a person of colour to replace him on the radio.

The privately-owned firm – which has a stable of radio stations including Capital Radio, Heart and Smooth – has also come under fire for what is claimed to be its lack of diversity, despite Capital Xtra being the UK’s biggest Black music station...

A Black staffer at Global, who asked to remain anonymous, had previously told HuffPost UK that “many Global staff members want Farage out”.
The staffer said: “The man is vile and racist. I’m upset he’s working on a station across the corridor from the UK’s biggest Black music station and he’s allowed to say those comments on air.”...

“I’m very happy to see he has stepped down, I believe Nick Ferrari should do the exact same thing too. I also hope they start hiring more presenters of colour and I hope someone of colour will fill his spot,” the source added.
News of Farage’s departure has reignited calls for presenter Nick Ferrari to be sacked from LBC.
A clip of a panel discussion on The Pledge from two years ago resurfaced this week, in which LBC radio host Nick Ferrari asked journalist Afua Hirsch why she chooses to remain in Britain if she has an issue with slavery monuments...

I think if someone asks me that again I’m going to start singing...”Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world brown and yellow black and white they are precious in His sight...Jesus loves the little children of the world”...and then just walk away.

The racist/Marxist organization known as the KKK BLM is indeed like ISIS/Taliban/Al Queda in many ways.

Speaking truth during times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act (As Farage found out). -Orwell

BLM is a hard left violence promoting political organization. It is not racist to criticize it and free speech requires that one be allowed to do so.

Whatever Nigel said is not important. There are folks in the wings simply waiting for an opportune moment to take people like him off the airwaves. Didn't Diamond and Silk recently loose their TV contract?
