Reform UK leader Nigel Farage again calling for the UK to leave the ECHR

Why is UK media struggling to get across the points I make in this film? How hard can this be?

Reposted from Peter Stefanovic

Nigel Farage continues to spout his boll**** unchallenged the UK must leave the ECHR

If we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call him out

May be they don't want to the Guardian has gone all surrender now. I am so pissed off at the Guardian now I have cancelled by subscription.

stewtoon.bsky.social•145 days ago

Because we have an overly right leaning media, and that includes the BBC. I think it really is that simple.

soapboxsam.bsky.social•145 days ago

The news outlets have too many people controlling content who have been gulled by the bullshit. Balance now means equal amounts of truth and bullshit, instead of meaning contrasting opinions based on reason.

bajrskidipity.bsky.social•145 days ago

Just compare russian propaganda to farage’s rhetoric and see if he ever veers from their path.

peejbytheres.bsky.social•145 days ago

Which of these rights are we willing to lose? These were fought for by our parents and Grandparents to protect us all from a Dictatorship

litterygeniarse.bsky.social•145 days ago

They are complicit, compromised and culpable in the fascism taking over the country.

Even jounralists who've resigned sewem unable to call it fascism.
I presume there's a D-notice or injunction.
So have a read of this:-

The ECHR ain’t worthy of its name!!!!
Disabled people in France and Poland are in institutions again…. what is the EHCR doing about that?
Absolutely nothing !

samfreeborn.bsky.social•141 days ago

I don’t particularly like Donald Trump, but at some point you have to respect him for standing up against normal society and the hypocrisy of the Democratic party and Joe Biden…. A Englishman can’t really comment, but all I know is my country is going down the toilet thanks to the middle class…

lexwyatt.bsky.social•145 days ago

What needs to be brought out is what's in it for Farage Somehow he stands to profit from this BS either politically or financially or both. There has to be one journalist in the UK who hasn't been emasculated who can do the story.

birdswing.bsky.social•145 days ago

The UK media isn't struggling this is what many in the UK want and the others couldn't care less

erichanvey.bsky.social•145 days ago

They're not struggling at all, they just don't want to!

petemarchetto.bsky.social•145 days ago

I just wonder how much of what the bloke says means anything and how much is just performative. He has his few million followers to monetise either directly or as a pressure group for interests willing to pay for his influence. He has his five MPs for credibility. He's already having to...

petemarchetto.bsky.social•145 days ago

... compromise to maintain that credibility; the failure to endorse Tommy Robinson that's upset some of his followers, the dancing around the things he can't say out loud, the dodgy candidates causing him embarrassment. And the timing, for Farage, is awful. Starmer came in before Trump...

petemarchetto.bsky.social•145 days ago

... was elected. He'll still be in office when he's gone. Half way through that buyers' remorse will have set in and Trump's popularity will nosedive attaching Farage to a detested loser. I really don't think the bloke seriously wants to be a politician any more than GB News seriously wants to...

petemarchetto.bsky.social•145 days ago

... be a channel for factual information. Babbling on about the ECHR is something he can do quite happily knowing he'll never get to follow through on it. He's just a cosplay politician and an attention seeker. I hope I'm not being naive, but I just don't see him as a serious threat when it comes...

petemarchetto.bsky.social•145 days ago

... to his purported policies. They're just noise. The bloke's a danger as an influencer. And that's bad enough.

ahbeck.bsky.social•144 days ago

What do these maniacs actually want? Why do they pour all this energy and money into destroying the UK's democracy? Do they really stand to gain anything they don't already have?

politicalsceptic.bsky.social•144 days ago

The UK media is mostly owned by rich foreigners, and the BBC has a team that is aligned to that foreign ownerships editorial line.

So, they're part of the propaganda, allowing Farage & his like, to win a 'chip' at a time, by willfully being weak.

grampaamos.bsky.social•144 days ago

When will Clacton launch a recall petition?

benjamin-knight.com•145 days ago

The UK media has spent too many years mischaracterising and flat out lying about human rights. Protecting the ECHR is so against their established behaviour that they just won't.

yorkshirepaddy.bsky.social•145 days ago

Because they don't want to.

susieq71.bsky.social•145 days ago

The rise of Reform is due to the media normalising him and they will only stop when their ratings are in the shitter. I refuse to watch msm giving oxygen to far right neo nazi's, I instead get my news from independent media who deliver the facts.

geneos.bsky.social•145 days ago

Maybe when you properly call out Starmer you will be taken more seriously ?

maraflint.bsky.social•145 days ago

They’re not struggling. They’re not even trying half-heartedly.

disqualified.bsky.social•145 days ago

They’re trying very hard. Billionaire backed media and think tanks are doing their very best to destroy our democracy.

poppy53.bsky.social•145 days ago

What i can't believe is that farage is still given a bigger platform to air his traitorous views than any British politician with any significance.

satiricalplanet.bsky.social•140 days ago

Nigel Farage, the former UKIP leader, Brexit’s self-proclaimed saviour, & Britain’s unrelenting answer to, “Who keeps inviting him back?” has built a political career out of saying the quiet part out loud. Repost, share, subscribe.

Reform party members here on bluesky find facts inconvenient.

colbobs.bsky.social•145 days ago

No such thing as illegal in this regard. Irregular yes, illegal, no.

jacquij.bsky.social•145 days ago

Do you think something is at play? Does the establishment want an extreme right wing govt? Who would benefit? It won’t be the working classes or disabled, people on benefits or Scots.

geneos.bsky.social•145 days ago

I think you answered your own question.

phoebecat.bsky.social•145 days ago

Because the uk media is right wing…..

hyena1953.bsky.social•145 days ago

If he can or will not prove it, it is a lie.

bettertimes69.bsky.social•145 days ago

Because they don’t want to get these points across unfortunately. They want to turn this into Brexit wedge type issue version 2. And I really think that there is a large section of the media who want Farage in number 10. It appears to be well organised support to me.

disqualified.bsky.social•145 days ago

Billionaire owned media and funded think tanks. It’s been a long time in the making, decades. Journalists and pretend journalists remunerated to spread lies.

The ex head of crown prosecutions is either sleepwalking, complicit or he has a plan.

bettertimes69.bsky.social•145 days ago

Let’s hope there is a plan… I had high hopes in July but am becoming impatient. Probably unfair of me to become impatient so fast.

disqualified.bsky.social•145 days ago

I’m with you to be honest. Labours comms are appalling. Whatever anyone’s thoughts on Blair’s government, Campbell wouldn’t have missed a chance to shine a positive light on things. On top unpopular policies, that won’t bring in revenue to the country, would have been better drip fed over time.

bettertimes69.bsky.social•145 days ago

Absolutely 100% Let’s hope that Labour can grip this sooner rather than later. They do still have time to at least attempt to control the narrative if they act now.

ihatemusk.bsky.social•145 days ago

I’m labour through and through but even I am suspicious now.

bettertimes69.bsky.social•145 days ago

I’m going to keep the faith for another 6 months, but I expect to see some hope then 🤞

ipubrich.bsky.social•145 days ago

It's amazing how you can go from complete joke to running the country being bankrolled by a literal cabal of the worlds wealthiest men. What do you think Germans would tell their grandparents if they could go back in time?

amicillouk.bsky.social•145 days ago

Because fundamentally people agree with whatever he says. He is a prime minister in waiting with plenty of media society money and foreign support. Britain again is in denial and basking in the exceptionalism that “those things do not happen here”

ampmvendorman.bsky.social•144 days ago

My understanding is, if ECHR is removed an English person will have no rights. You are a subject of the crown. Scotland has most of these rights already in law. So you might want to reconsider removing them.

rhnorthcornwall.bsky.social•145 days ago

I've had enough of listening to his bo****s.

sparkyrob73.bsky.social•145 days ago

I don’t know what’s happened to the media. I’m all for balance, but blatant falsehoods must be called out.

rickyrosspt.scot•145 days ago

Ah, the Tesla Tories. Loud bark, zero bite. Just be sure to shame anyone you may know who is thinking about voting for them.

Call out the racist, sexist, homophobic foundations of their entire campaign.

I already have and it definitely cost me clients but so be it.

They can't win.

betterthantwitter.bsky.social•144 days ago

They're controlled and complicit.

countzerorepeat.bsky.social•145 days ago

Laziness, ideological agreement with him, or so entrenched in being client journalists they can't think outside of it. A few of the reasons I think we can agree.

trevm12.bsky.social•144 days ago

The sooner Farage is 'removed', the better. Please someone, put him out of our misery.

suegenevanana.bsky.social•145 days ago

What does he know? He’s never been in government and was a part-time MEP when he could be bothered. He’s just a master manipulator for his own ends.

irritatedllama.bsky.social•145 days ago

"Balance" in media now means that demonstrable b*llshit carries the same weight as truth.

stillwaving.bsky.social•145 days ago

I remember when putting Nigel Lawson on radio as opposition to an actual climate scientist was considered “balance”

irritatedllama.bsky.social•145 days ago

And this is why we're is the shit we're in now.

ziggysden.bsky.social•145 days ago

They’re not struggling. It’s done very much on purpose. Profits come from advertising. Clicks & views drive advertising. Farage & Co drive clicks & views. MSM are not interested in ethics or people’s rights. It’s not that hard to understand.

disqualified.bsky.social•145 days ago

Media doesn’t need to be profitable, it’s billionaire owned propaganda. The MSM appease those that remunerate them.

sgt-angua.bsky.social•145 days ago

It will never be in our interests to leave the ECHR.

jimmbuzz.bsky.social•145 days ago

Because usually the media only reports soundbites and Farage is good at soundbites.
And most don't see correcting the record as part of their job.

stillwaving.bsky.social•145 days ago

Has anyone asked Farage which of his human rights protected by the ECHR he is willing to lose? Speaking personally I want them all protected even for shitty people like him

marvth3martian.bsky.social•145 days ago

That's what none of these brain donors actually understand. These are *universal* rights that they're wanting to abolish. Morons.

branx.bsky.social•144 days ago

I think that if you are wealthy enough,' Human Rights' are neither here nor there - they are not applicable to you. Same with having an NHS - they can afford to pay for their own healthcare , so what's the problem with making people pay for their own? They want to take us back to serfs and Lords..

stillwaving.bsky.social•144 days ago

“They” may want that but I am hoping that there are more of “us” who can stop “them” 🤞🏼

foxylizard.bsky.social•145 days ago

He won't lose them. He has an EU passport.

stillwaving.bsky.social•145 days ago

Does he?

foxylizard.bsky.social•145 days ago

I think so. German perhaps? Something is lurking in the back of my brain. Could be wrong, fell sure there is a link to Germany somewhere.

lareyne.bsky.social•145 days ago

I believe he applied and was refused. His kids got them though.

foxylizard.bsky.social•145 days ago

Ah ok. TY for the correction. Any idea why he was refused?

disqualified.bsky.social•145 days ago

Farage doesn’t care, he’ll be ok, the ECHR doesn’t affect his future… he’ll have an open invitation to either live with the Septic rapist or the Russian war criminal. Unless we lock the quisling up.

This could be where Musk's £100m injection into Reform is going, misinformation and buying off the media.

mumshoes.bsky.social•144 days ago

Garage is an irrelevant a-hole. Please ignore him.

baggiesman.bsky.social•144 days ago

The Niggling Fartage talks crap most of the time and bollocks otherwise.

kamalini.bsky.social•145 days ago

Irish unification would happen overnight.

nlk1.bsky.social•145 days ago

Much easier to do the ‘ BBC balance’ bollox or crass gotcha questions.

Most are too lazy to actually understand what they are paid to talk about so treat it as a soap opera.

suew.bsky.social•145 days ago

I doubt they are struggling Peter because this agenda is already "baked in" with the mostly rightwing press and media in the UK. This is what happens when the majority of the press and media in the UK are under the control of wealthy, non-tax paying press owners.

payteer.bsky.social•145 days ago

It's all about clicks, and advertising, they don't give monkey's about democracy. However, when it happens they'll be wringing their hands asking how it happened.

scotsblogger.bsky.social•145 days ago

Pray tell me how a Company can become a political party. What happens if he wins a GE then winds up his company, does he take all the tax money and runs. What are the safe guards, is it legal?

disqualified.bsky.social•145 days ago

Why? Because they are funded by billionaires with an agenda.

I refer you to my previous reply.

I feel sure that NF should be in court on his way to prison. He is akin to a terrorist even if he only throws threats & evil ideas - he has personally ruined UK’s good reputation for equality & fairness

longjimsilver.bsky.social•145 days ago

This twunt has a lot to answer for

swalesmetroprof.bsky.social•145 days ago

If Farage called for the Herodic death of all baby boys in the run up to Xmas, via his SM channels, many I suspect many would still support him!!!. That's how broken the UK is....

annhopcyn.bsky.social•145 days ago

Don’t give him ideas

ihatemusk.bsky.social•145 days ago

I think you’re right.

monsieurcapybara.bsky.social•145 days ago

Looks like Nige wants us to follow his beloved Russia in leaving the EHCR

gimmehendrix.bsky.social•145 days ago

The MSM are the enemy of the people. We need Leveson 2 to stem the corruption of political discourse by offshore nondom tax evading billionaires. Even state TV is now incapable of stringing two sentences together without lying/ reframing or just routinely churning out drivel.

malemet.bsky.social•145 days ago

He can call all he likes, doing it is another matter. If anyone wants to give up their rights because they trust whatever political party gets in is a lot more trusting than I am. Giving up your rights is easy, getting them back is much harder.

petehusky.bsky.social•145 days ago

Surely the best possible move those at the ECHR could make is to rebrand themselves the ICHR (international) - then all the misassociation the grifters depend on would be scotched

2primates.bsky.social•145 days ago

“Struggling” is the wrong word. “Struggling” means making an effort to do something. The majority of the owners of, & senior executives in, the UK media seem to broadly agree with Farage & wouldn’t expend a single drop of sweat on asking hard questions about his narrative & prejudices.

markandrew25.bsky.social•145 days ago

Nigel Farage does talk so much rubbish . Tories pandit to him for years and labour need to call him . What rubbish him and the rest of reform party come out with .

saintthejase.bsky.social•145 days ago

If he's that opposed to human rights, he should start with his. His right to privacy. An open webcam in every room in his house and workplace and a streaming body cam he wears all the time.

Go on Farage, lead from the front for once.
