Hymie, do you believe that anybody objecting to unfettered immigration into a country already struggling to provide services for those already here is a racist?

When mentioning Mr Farage's xenophobia you have you taken into account that his first wife (with whom he has two children) is Irish, his second wife (with whom he also has two children) is German and since their estrangement he is said to be living with a French lady. Doesn't sound much like a man who hates foreigners to me.

looks like PP suffers from RBID too!
Yes, but then you think straight NJ. Hymie has repeated shown he does not.
Ah, I’m not a racist – some of my friends/relations are foreigners (where I have heard that before).

But, having proved I’m not a racist, I’ll continue to make racist remarks.

I see that the thought police are still expunging the truth, with my previous post in this thread deleted.
Lord Farage. Do give over.
Where have I heard that before? In your case probably some dodgy Youtube video.
This circus involving Farage should really be brought to a halt:-

//Ah, I’m not a racist – some of my friends/relations are foreigners (where I have heard that before).//

Not the same as having two wives and a girlfriend of foreign extraction, though, is it?
//This circus involving Farage should really be brought to a halt:-//

Why do you describe it as a "circus"?

I heard the interview live this morning. Mr Farage was invited by the BBC to contribute to the programme. The exchange was perfectly reasonable Mr Farage was asked about his election record when he had been asked on to discuss his banking issue. He declined to answer. The was nothing resembling a circus about it.
That man (whoever he is) needs some urgent medical treatment, Hymie. I've not seen quite such rabid ramblings for a long time. e.g.

"Worst poverty crisis since 1956"

"Brexit pushing millions of people deeper into poverty"

"Brexit taking a thousand pounds from every household"

"Half of low income families skipping meals to feed their kids"

Where do you dig these geezers up from?
Are you sure it isn’t because he pointed out that Farage is the biggest racist in the UK?
What were the two national elections Mr Farage won?
//Are you sure it isn’t because he pointed out that Farage is the biggest racist in the UK?//

He might have done, but he'd be wrong about that too. Firstly, I don't accept that Mr Farage is a racist - he simply dislikes the idea of uncontrolled mass immigration (and so do I). But accepting that he is (purely for the sake of this conversation) I know of far worse racists and many of them are black or Asian.
If I was of the opinion that a person was not a racist, yet another person identified the same person as the UK’s biggest racist – I would at least examine the facts as to how two people could have diametrically opposed views (and who was most likely correct).
So let’s examine some of the evidence:-

In the thread below, I posted a number of Farage’s utterings (at 08:18), below is a selection of those.

In 2014 Farage said he would be concerned if Romanian immigrants moved in next door to him.
In a 2014 interview on LBC, Farage said he felt “uncomfortable” when he heard people speaking in other languages on London transport.
Farage defended a UKIP candidate who used a racist slur against Chinese people.
Farage had marched through a quite Sussex village shouting Hitler-youth songs – apparently a former friend claimed he sang a song beginning ‘Gas them all, gas them all, gas them all’ (although Farage denied singing this).

To believe such a person not to be a racist would seem perverse.

How old was he Hymie, as he was still at school.
I'm no fan but I reckon the majority of people wouldnt disagree with many of those things, so in your book majority of Brits are racist?
//...but I reckon the majority of people wouldnt disagree with many of those things, so in your book majority of Brits are racist?//

Indeed, Bob. There is a considerable difference between not fancying Romanians moving in next door and being a racist. The label is too easily applied and seeks to override personal preferences. I wouldn't fancy a Romanian family moving in next door to me. That's not because they're Romanian - it's because they're in the UK. They would be here courtesy of the EU's ridiculous freedom of movement philosophy. Like Mr Farage, it's not foreigners I object to, it is the unacceptably large number of them who have been permitted to settle in the UK. That's the fault of the EU, or more specifically our membership of it. There is a big difference between being a racist and being opposed to the excessive and uncontrolled immigration that came with membership. It's convenient to brand those opposed to the latter as being the former.

As for Mr Farage's foray into Nazi sympathies, not only has he denied it but he was fifteen or sixteen at the time of the allegation. We all do silly things at that age. Some even later:

If you are concerned at someone from another nationality being your neighbour and defend people making racist slurs – then in my book, you are indeed a racist (as is Farage).
As has already been pointed out to you Hymie by NJ. Mr Farage has had three wives and all were nationalities other the British. Hardly the mark of a racist I would suggest.
So once you’ve married someone of a different nationality, you are free to make racist statements?
