Farage said Andrew Tate was âimportant voiceâ for men in podcast interview
Reform UK leader has also argued against diversity quotas and said people on benefits were âtoo stupidâ to work in appearances over past year
Nigel Farage has praised the misogynist influencer Andrew Tate for being an âimportant voiceâ for the âemasculatedâ and giving boys âperhaps a bit of confidence at schoolâ in online interviews that appear to be aimed at young men over the past year.
The Reform UK leader spoke in favour of Tate for defending âmale cultureâ in a Strike It Big podcast that aired in February, while acknowledging that the influencer had gone âover the topâ and elsewhere that he had said some âpretty horribleâ things.
Nigel Farage claims Russia was provoked into Ukraine war
Farage, who has long been accused of being a Putin apologist, tells BBC Moscow was given excuse by EU and Nato eastern expansion.
Nigel Farage has said the EU and Nato âprovokedâ Russiaâs invasion of Ukraine by expanding eastwards, as the Reform UK leader was challenged over a series of policies and beliefs in a sometimes combative TV interview.
Speaking to BBCâs Panorama on Friday evening, Farage also said Brexit would have benefited the UK economically if he had been running the country, and that many of the Reform candidates criticised for saying offensive things had been âstitched up in the most extraordinary wayâ.
Except for those pesky migrants from Germany in the 5th century and of course those even peskier migrants from France in the 11th and subsequent centuries
Modern England actually builds its history from those French âscumâ who they prefer to refer to as Norman conquerors (11th century) and subsequent French invaders (Plantagenets, etc).
Wot???
There was about 800 years of denying the people any rights of access to ANY land outside the village green â and in many cases whole villages were eradicated â from after the Norman invasion, right up to the Land Closures in [comparatively] recent history.
They were Vikings tho. As Iâm sure you know, they were given Normandy to stop sailing up the Seine to plunder Paris.
Normans came from there a couple of centuries earlier, but spoke French (dialect) which they also introduced to England.
And the English language is a mostly a layer cake of German & French with the latter providing the icing thanks to the Norman aristocracy
Do you mean that ?
Over the top to call Germany and France scum.
I havenât even applied that term to the maggots who have stitched us up all these years.
edit: maybe I shouldâŚ
Ace, I think more so, Britain was absolutely desperate to join the EC come 1972, and in the 1975 vote 67% supported it with a big loud yes. They the UK were in serious decline since the 50s and needed the assistance and market exposure to Europe to be blunt.
Also, once De Gaulle left the stage ( he was very anti-UK membership and vetoed their entry constantly in the 60s) because he feared the UK would look at every opportunity to manipulate the rules to its benefit. Maastricht much later was a perfect example with its UK opt outs as well as its determination not to join the single currency (good move that as it happens). But CDG was proved right in the end and BRexit ultimately happened. Back in the 60s and 70s it was also the fact that the Commonwealth couldnât compete with the EEC and Common Market right on its doorstep. The original setup by the Brits of EFTA as an integration model had also sunk. In 1950, UKâs per capita GDP was almost a third larger than the original EU6 average. By 1973, it was about 10% below and widening. And since their joining, it was comparatively stable up to its BRexit. It worked for the EEC (later the EU) too of course.
Customs Union, Common Market, European Commission and European Parliament memberships, retention of the ÂŁ, freedom of work and movement in all 27 countries, improved workers rights, ECHR, visa free travel etc etc. All for just ÂŁ9bn net per annum as it was in 2016. Not even near 1% of taxation per UK citizen it worked out.
And they then go spit the proverbial eurosceptic dummy, picked their bat up and â â â â â â off. The figures in estimated lost GDP to the UK since are eye-watering.
As to the Commonwealth not coping with then EC competition, prohibitive tariffs were raised on agricultural products, EEC agriculture subsidies werenât enough.
British agriculture actually did well under the Common Agriculture Policy, the rise of the barley barons of East Anglia, sugar beet barons, English landowners benefiting from hill farming subsidies. Before then, the UK protected agriculture, our access was mostly subject to quotas.
NZ got a special deal on butter, as its economy would otherwise have collapsed. And the African Caribbean and Pacific sugar cane growers also got a small raw sugar quota to keep the Tate and Lyle cane sugar refineries viable ( beet sugar goes through a different process). Perfidious Albion at its best.
And the EC gave massive export subsidies to agricultural products ( not covered by the rules banning export subsidies on industrial products). Surpluses still mounted, with subsidies for set asides, butter mountains etc.
The UK got a special budget deal. Yes, it still contributed via the EC budget, but the costs of sustaining agriculture were disguised and hidden. Small concessions via tariff quotas for the likes of high quality beef , sheepmeat and buffalo meat in successive multilateral trade rounds, but that was about it. But after Brexit, it would show up in the UK budget if the UK continued to maintain the high rate of subsidies mainly benefiting large English landowners, like the one holding the Dukedom of Cornwall ( income from the public purse to that extent)
BTW , Australia, together with Brazil and Thailand won a big WTO case against EU cross subsidies on its beet sugar exports, exposing the rorts in the system intended to assist small sugar beet growers, but making the sugar barons richer and richer throughout the damp regions of Europe.
Canât imagine the French having colonial power aspirations of courseâŚ
Not through its Overseas Departments and Territories. It sees its power as one of the big two of Europe, from where it can best exert its influence.
Britain seeks to fall back to the âOld Commonwealth â (CANZ) and the US as its closest allies.
Albanese: âFrance is a Pacific countryâ
Tate is a bald â â â â .
Albanese sticks with AUKUS decision and then seeks to encourage France to take on a a more military role in the Pacific to counteract West Taiwan.
You donât seriously think France sees its power as contained within Europe?
