Nigel Farage: "I fear for my life" - Ukip leader fears violent attacks every day

Source: Sunday Express (England)

By Caroline Wheeler and Camilla Tominey
UPDATED: 14:22, Sun, Nov 27, 2016

NIGEL Farage says he cannot leave his house without security after Brexit and Donald Trump’s US presidential election victory.

The interim Ukip leader has received death threats and just last week was confronted during a night out.

+

Revealing he had been threatened with a glass on Thursday night, he said: “I’ve got no life – I can’t do anything, I can’t go anywhere. Certainly I would not go out in London of an evening on my own without security – couldn’t even think about it.

I can’t even walk down the street without it. I have to go to private places, private venues."

What about minorities living in fear of their lives because of his BS rhetoric all year...

He needs to take a long walk off a short pier and meet Jesus.

She was a politician who wanted to stay in the EU.
Some extremist killed her

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/06/17/europe/tommy-mair-jo-cox-suspect/index.html

London (CNN)To neighbors, Tommy Mair is a quiet man who tended their gardens in the small town of Birstall in northern England.

But details are emerging about a man who has had interests in white supremacy and apartheid.

The 52-year-old is charged in the killing of Jo Cox, a British member of Parliament described as a fearless campaigner and rising star of the opposition Labour Party.

another year or so of hell for Nigel because the breakup rule has a 2 year limit.

I won't predict for trump if the USA gets rid of him fast or slow, I think most republicans love the idea of a unfit president in our WH.

He's done nothing but back away from the nitty-gritty staggering-along process of Brexit since the vote, fuelled the already horrible divisions within UKIP, which is speedily going down the can, and been widely publicized living it up in grand style with those who're even richer than he is.

Maybe he thinks people don't notice, or care.

And fuck the Express, hideous fascist rag.

Most of them can't stand each other, and one MEP landed another MEP in hospital.

our scorn gives them power. many of us have succumbed to the illusion that we can somehow fight back with humor and sarcasm. that has never been the case. the real fight is always expensive and usually bloody.

what Mr. Nigel Farage is saying here is his personal justification for establishing a security state in the UK much like the one about to be established in the USA.

we need to start TAKING THESE ASSHOLES AT THEIR WORD, because they're telling us what they want to do. we'd be fools to think they can't do it.

None of the Muslims or Eastern Europeans he incited hatred towards have anything to fear-only Nigel.
