Nigel Farage: Londoners are fed up with being taken for granted and betrayed by the old political parties
The Standard ^ | May 2, 2026 | Nigel Farage

Posted on 05/02/2026 9:11:14 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

With the London local elections approaching, I am going to make a prediction. Reform UK, the party I lead, is going to surprise a few people in the capital next Thursday. Yes, the usual experts will admit, those Reform upstarts might do well next week up in the rest of England, or in Wales and Scotland. But, they reassure themselves, London will be different.

Well, I beg to differ. Unlike the pundits and other party leaders, I have spent considerable time campaigning around London in recent months โ€” talking to ordinary Londoners from Havering to Croydon.

And guess what? It turns out that the hard-working people who live in our capital share many of the same concerns as the other citizens of alarm-clock Britain.

Londoners are worried about the cost-of-living crisis and about how to pay their energy bills. They want to know why they pay more and more in national and local taxes, yet seem to get less and less in return.

They are concerned about the way that uncontrolled immigration has changed their communities and worsened social problems, from the housing crisis to NHS queues. They are unhappy about thousands of undocumented young men who came here illegally in small boats being housed at taxpayersโ€™ expense and left free to roam Londonโ€™s streets.

Many Londoners feel their city has become almost lawless, with everyday crimes such as phone theft, burglary and shoplifting effectively decriminalised and mobs of youths allowed to run riot down their high streets. Many are also concerned about our precious green belt, and the failure of London councils to protect it properly.

About time that they woke up.

But, itโ€™s probably too late for them and much of Europe.

Starting to wonder about us as well.

Ya think? Nothing like being dependent on the government for so long you become unaware of the fact that they’ve got you where they want you, from cradle to grave, and when it comes time to replace you, you pay and then die for those replacements. As for your descendants....so what. America, wake up. We learn from our European bloodlines, both good and bad. In this case, its getting down to survival.

Londonstan will not be changing anytime soon... Muslims are entrenched within it’s borders and unlike the last English crusaders who left the Middle East back in 1272, these new Middle Eastern crusaders aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

With free hotel rooms, free phones, free money, free healthcare and an untaxable ‘job under the table’ ... Why the heck would they?

Yep way too little way too late. Nigel is Pence and they need a Trump but even that would not be enough.
