1/x So, Nigel Farage's comments y'day that Jewish power controls America (HT @adamlangleben)...
... One response seems to be "Labour's worse" or "Farage would be at home in Corbyn's party". Why that's stupid in tweets to follow...
UKIP has a long history with antisemitism. In European Parliament, they sit with the far right. @Jennifrazer 2014: https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-to-silence-ukips-nigel-farage/
2015: A UKIP parliamentary candidate tweeting antisemitic shit at Luciana Berger: http://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com/exclusive-ukip-suspend-candidate-after-outrageous-anti-semitic-slur/
After he was suspended, Jack Sen made a speech to the (Nazi) London Forum saying Jews control British politics http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/failed-ukip-candidate-jack-sen-5735626
OK, Sen wasn't UKIP leader. But Paul Nuttal was, and he quoted David Irving in his history essays https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk/2016/12/new-ukip-leader-paul-nuttall-plans-destroy-labour-can-he-succeed
2016: UKIP Facebook activists bang on about Soros, Rothschild and other Jews conspiring to stop Brexit https://antisemitism.uk/ukip-facebook-group-posts-claim-that-jews-are-conspiring-against-brexit/
This year: the UKIP candidate who thought the Holocaust was a jolly good idea http://www.jpost.com/Diaspora/British-politician-justified-Holocaust-in-2014-tweet-about-Gaza-492297
Oh and I forgot Gerard Batten, the UKIP MEP who hangs out with Nazis https://exposingukip.wordpress.com/2014/07/21/gerard-batten-and-the-ex-bnp-member-gregory-lauder-frost/
And UKIP Bristol, who kept on retweeting Joshua Bonehill, even after they found out he was a Nazi https://exposingukip.wordpress.com/2015/04/14/how-dense-are-ukip-bristol/
And the UKIP candidate in Derbyshire who was a fan of David Icke and hater of "Rothschild Zionism" https://antisemitism.uk/ukip-candidate-philip-rose-tweeted-david-ickes-conspiracy-myth-about-rothschild-zionists/
Oh and the Sussex candidate in 2013 who denied the holocaust & claimed World War Two was engineered by Zionists http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/10378900.East_Sussex_UKIP_election_candidate_in_holocaust_storm/
I mean Farage himself backed the fascist Marine Le Pen http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/2017/05/04/im-supporting-marine-le-pen-farage-backs-radical-right-candidate-french-president/
And only this month some far renegade Front National MEPs joined Nigel's EFDD group in the European Parliament http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/2017/10/05/former-front-national-meps-join-ukip-europe/
I could go on, but you get the point http://www.hopenothate.org.uk/2017/05/17/this-week-ukip-racism/
