@Nigel_Farage Is it though? Let's look at some of the things you've said about immigrants over the years, shall we?

@Nigel_Farage Starting with this:

"He wanted ex-National Front candidates to run and I said, 'I'm not sure about that,' and he said, 'There's no need to worry about the nigger vote. The nig-nogs will never vote for us.'" Former UKIP leader Alan Sked on a convo he had with you in 1997

@Nigel_Farage 'In scores of our cities and market towns, this country in a short space of time has frankly become unrecognisable. Whether it is the impact on local schools and hospitals, whether it is the fact in many parts of England you don't hear English spoken any more.‘
Feb 2014

@Nigel_Farage 'We must be completely mad, as a country, to be giving people from Eastern Europe in-work benefits…Even if I thought, which I don't, there was an economic benefit to mass immigration some things are more important than money,

@Nigel_Farage namely the shape of our society and giving our own youngsters a chance to work.'
BBC Interview Jan 2014, in which you called for five-year-band on benefits for EU migrants

@Nigel_Farage ‘ ... instead of listening to those who elected them, the government takes orders from the European Union and is throwing open our borders to more than 30 million Bulgarians and Romanians who may be coming to settle here.'
You in 2014

@Nigel_Farage ' I want to live in a community where our kids play football in the streets of an evening and live in a society that is at ease with itself...if you have immigration at these sorts of levels integration doesn’t happen.' You, in April 2015

@Nigel_Farage ‘It took me six hours and 15 minutes in the car to get here. It should have taken three and a half to four. That has nothing to do with professionalism.

@Nigel_Farage What is does have to do with is a country in which the population is going through the roof, chiefly because of open-door immigration, and the fact the M4 is not as navigable as it used to be.’ You, when you arrived late to a UKIP reception in December 2014

@Nigel_Farage 'There are 7.000 diagnoses in this country every year for people who are HIV-positive. Which is not a good place for any of them to be, I know. But 60% of them are not British nationals.

@Nigel_Farage You can come into Britain from anywhere in the world and get diagnosed with HIV and get the retroviral drugs... What we need to do is to put the National Service there for British people and families who in many cases have paid into this system for decades.' You, in 2015

@Nigel_Farage 'I do think...that people from India and Australia are in some ways more likely to speak English, understand common law and have a connection with this country than some people that come perhaps from countries that haven’t fully recovered from being behind the iron curtain.' 2015

@Nigel_Farage 'Wherever you look you see this blind eye being turned and you see the growth of ghettos where the police and all the normal agents of the law have withdrawn and that is where Sharia law has come in.' You, talking to Fox News in Jan 2015

@Nigel_Farage 'Malmo in Sweden is the rape capital of Europe due to EU migrant policies. Anyone who says there isn’t a problem is lying to you.' You, in Feb 2017

@Nigel_Farage And let's not forget this, your piece de resistance:

@Nigel_Farage So the evidence suggests that Corbyn is absolutely right on this, that your politics is saturated with racism, xenophobia, anti-immigrant scapegoating and recycling far-right anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim messages.
Which makes you the liar.
