Nigel Farage wants to focus on Oldham and talk about languages

So let's travel to Oldham

I would like to dedicate this thread to Nadia Hussain. Thank you. For your work in helping others.

I am also going to talk about David and Nigel.

The fixation on languages is nothing new to Nigel

Going back in time

It was Romanians that was his concern

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-274599…

Now he moves onto Oldham and focusing on languages there

He has moved from a dog whistle on EU citizens

To a dog whistle on islamophobia

He is a shameless racist islamophobe

He will shovel any shite to peddle forward his career

So I don't want to talk about Nigel in this thread

He is what he has always been and always will be

Instead I want to speak to the people of Oldham

You are better than Nigel

Don't let his hatred, his racism, his islamophobia, his xenophobia and his snake oil work

So let's talk about Oldham

so here's the main breakdown

here's the breakdown by European languages

Figures taken from

censusdata.uk/e08000004-oldh…

So which language group is Nigel playing his dog whistle for?

What street was he walking down where he personally established that every household in it was people who only had one foreign language as what they spoke

Because there is a difference between a main + 2nd language

Here's some Getty images from Nigel in Oldham

I can't see him canvassing a residential street to interrogate residents on their language or ethnicity

Here's some feedback from his 2015 visit to Oldham

So I said I was going to talk about David

So let's do that before we focus on Nadia

It's quite a simple topic

Go to Google

Enter

The issue is not that Nigel Farage is a racist islamophobic xenophobic bullshitter

The issue is a Conservative Party that under David Cameron was already ahead of Farage in that field

so now I want to talk about Nadia

she is helping people

who are struggling with picking up a new language

Nigel Farage is a lying corrupt incompetent racist islamophobic xenophobic grifting charlatan

It is all he has ever had

He has ridden on the coat tails of a global financial crash

And exploited its aftermath and of austerity to peddle his snake oil

https://x.com/ByDonkeys/status/1795407827390931224

Austerity was a political choice

its effects were predictable
its effects were known

Tories couldn't own them

instead they also played to the racist xenophobic scapegoating of immigrants with the "tens of thousands"

and in 2024 "joke" of "shitholes"

https://x.com/PandaScottish/status/1728047468368048527

and Farage's other grift

is trying to tell you that brexit has been betrayed

brexit was a con sold by cheating, lies, racism, islamophobia, xenophobia and nativist fantasy bollocks

it was always a con

Nigel is just seeking his next grift

I am not sure whether it is just the money that is his main motivator
Or whether its the prestige, the hunger for attention

Because he doesn't want power

because then he could be held to account for actually owning delivery of something
