Farage 'my team would have won the by election election if only white people were allowed to vote'

Farage 'my team would have won the by election election if only white people were allowed to vote'

And that's his plan, to be widened to "white people who were born in Britain and whose parents were born in Britain."

I look forward to the next step which is 'only people voting for Reform will be allowed to vote'.. really.. the guy might as well write 'Muslims and non-white people scare me' with a sharpe pen across his forehead.

Farago isn't scared of Muslims and non-white people, the Muslims and non-white people are scared of him. And with good reason. The creep learned how to frighten such in the skoolyard, doing brown-shirt impersonations that soon became the whole of his "personality" as we may now view it every day in the mass meejah. Many a Blighter, though, quite enjoys Gestapo antics (until they themselves are Gestapoed, that is).

Who'da thought, just 20 years or so ago, that it would come to this in Blightedland?

Farage 'my team would have won the by election election if only white people were allowed to vote'

Just the latest in Nigel Far-right's bogus complaints about erections he lost. Read the history at https://bylinetimes.com/2026/03/02/nige ... elections/

Misleading people about the administration of elections is a crime in the UK. RUK should respect our laws or move somewhere with election practices more their style, such as Putin's Russia.

Nothing for the English elections?

Nigel Far-right's bogus complaints about erections he lost.

You trying to suggest he's a flop?

Sorry, r and l are next to each other on the Dvorak keyboard and that didn't flag as a spelling error!

I think the big eared loser from the Gorton by-election mentioned something like three generation of British born parents before someone could hold a public office of any importance.
Wonder what the King thinks to the idea, it'd mean he couldn't wear the crown and nor could his children or grandchildren, all thanks to Phil the Greek.

Not the first time the far right's definition of Britishness has excluded the King and would have excluded Winston Churchill. We are an island of immigrants and they won't accept reality.

Has there ever been a British (so post-unification) monarch who would have passed their mad three-generation purity test?

It's obviously tempting to treat the statements of these chancers and charlatans as though they were would-be politicians of the kind who are interested in things like the national interest and the public good. It's tempting to apply the standard parsing for logic and reason to their utterances.

But in reality these creatures aren't doing the sort of governance-style politics that democratic representative governments are intended to perform. These chancers are interested only in personal power and the self-serving they can perform if and when they get it.

So treating their supposed policy utterances as though they were policies aimed at national interest and public good intentions is pointless. These "policies" are designed to excite the dark desires and abject need for self-esteem that govern the "choices" of many current voters. These "policies" aren't intended to connect to actualities other than the actuality of an utterly degraded and fearful public and those mass media agents who keep them that way.

The "reason" for the policy is to obtain the votes of those who feel their only recourse is to find or create pariahs and scapegoats who are lower in the pecking order class system of Blighty than they are themselves - "others" who can serve as a means to vent spleens choked up to the gunnels with the bile of fear and loathing induced by a diet of privation, neglect, zero opportunity and distain.

Farrago discovered this mode in the school yards of his youth. He's never got out of that schoolyard and his need to feel more powerful by belittling, denigrating and eventually punishing others. He knows he needs a gang of followers to keep getting away with it. He's building his gang by appealing to folk feeling just as fundamentally worthless, inside, as he feels himself.

What's the max size of such a self-interested gang, as in how many registered voters don't have a foreigner within three generations?

And it's far from certain that all of those would support them anyway. I certainly won't. While not ancestors, I've plenty of foreign-born relatives, as well as friends, who I wouldn't want to see harmed by Nigel Far-right's policies.

^mjr. The self-interested gang a significant majority. This seems to summarise:

"Based on available data from the 2021 Census and related research, approximately 73% to 77% of the UK population is estimated to have deep, multi-generational British ancestry (often defined as white British or having parents/grandparents born in the UK). "

Plenty of data re various "categories".
