Nigel Farage has said he is joining GB News as the channel’s viewing figures plummet. Obnoxious Farage, who retired from frontline politics earlier this year, said on social media: “I will not be taking the knee on this show” in reference to star Guto Harri doing so on air last week.
A very personal view … by Leigh G Banks
Nigel Farage looks like a tobacco stained, beer burping, pop-eyed frog …
And I say this with heart-felt sincerity.
I also picture him as an international sickipedia of vileness, hiding his dystopian distemper in a half-light of untruths and vomitus invective.
As I’m sure you have gathered by now – and after only 39 words of overstated lampoonery and downright insult – I despise the bones of Nigel Farage and his beer-swilling bonhomie as the lowest common denominator in Britain today.
And I have a lot of reasons for saying this!
One of them just happens to be his own dark art of insulting over-statement.
The difference between mine and his over statement though is simple… I insult an ugly hearted bloke.
He wears his ugly heart on his corduroy sleeve and is more than happy to flick the switch on anything that might shine a dishonest light on the plight of our world’s refugees.
For instance, his suggestion that the 2020 total of channel-crossers might hit 3,000 and become an “invasion” of a country of 73 million is an over statement of shocking proportions and designed to pander to the lowest of the Neanderthals of the UK who begin every sentence with “I’m not a racist but …”
Vulnerable people, many fleeing for their lives, are groomed by people traffickers and are put in peril in of sea.
I say they deserve better than a Captain Hogwash floating in a little boat off the coast of Dover claiming to be a journalist, which is rather fishy anyway as he has only written the odd column and done a bit of broadcasting!
His “over 300 attempted migrant boat crossings” last year turned out anyway to be 244 migrants picked up by British authorities and 77 stopped by French officials.
Nigel Farage, the former Brexit party leader, didn’t try to help those refugees in leaky boats and freezing conditions, some with young children to protect.
No!
He filmed this stateless flotsam of fear and claimed the French were actually escorting them into British waters where our own border guards waited to taxi them to a new life of benefits and smart TVs, foreign holidays and day trips to McDonald’s ….
Nothing is further from the truth of course. They were actually being taken to cold hard concrete compounds to be processed like lost letters found floating in bottles.
Posting on Twitter, the twit who is the former parliamentary candidate for Thanet South and Sandwich wrote: “I witnessed first hand our Border Force acting as a taxi service for illegal migrants in Dover this morning. This scandal continues and people have got every right to be angry about it.”
This is what Nigel said though way back then: “Lots of press reports over the weekend suggesting I was quite wrong to have come to East Sussex. This is a scandal and it’s continuing, so I’m here.”
He later added: “The illegal migrant scandal is bigger than anybody realises. Our government should stop the boats from coming, not help them to shore.”
However, the Minister for Immigration Compliance and the Courts, at the time, Chris Philp said: “Criminals are abusing vulnerable men, women and children by trafficking them across the Channel. This illegal and criminal activity is subject to heavy law enforcement activity by Border Force, the National Crime Agency, Immigration Enforcement and French law enforcement.
“Over 1,100 migrants were arrested in France in the first quarter of this year and in 2019 Immigration Enforcement made 418 arrests, leading to 203 convictions for a total of 437 years.
“Our actions are focussed on going after the criminals perpetrating these crimes and prosecuting them for their criminal activity.”
So, when Farage burps and farts about scandal, why does he not consider that many of these people he is trying to sink are genuine asylum seekers – and that what he says is actually a scandal that he has been allowed to get away with on our shores for far too long?
National Crime Agency figures show the bulk of arrivals are from Iran, where the repressive regime punishes human rights campaigners, the LGBT+ community, atheists and adulterers with long prison sentences, torture and even death.
Surely people have a right to flee these regimes.
And surely that is not over-stating any case about anything other than an ugly heart pumping bad blood round an ex-banker who has a fashion fetish for corduroy and wants to leave the weak drifting too far from any shore.
