There have been various bits posted with direct quotes from him, but you can have another if that helps?
A complete list of Nigel Farage's most controversial moments
Dubbed 'the man who broke Britain' for his role in the Brexit referendum, the Reform UK leader has finally been elected to parliament

I don't. We are at breaking point.

I think that when even George Osbourne refers to it as 'vile' and 'echoing Nazi propaganda' that you know it was something of a faux pas.

The Breaking Point poster is blatantly racist and the only reason we're anywhere near breaking point is because the Tories have pissed all the country's money up the wall or used it to line their mates' pockets. Then there's the Rwanda scheme which is a wasteful load of crap that will see us having to take back anyone who we shipped there & then commits a crime. The hundreds of thousands the govt are letting in legally are far more worrying than the couple of thousand risking their necks in a dinghy.

Nigey?Nigey must be doing something right, getting you all hot under the collar
It’s like calling Johnson “Boris”. The friendly, cuddly persona whilst making a living lying to your face and putting yourself and your own ego before the people you are conning. There is nothing nice, friendly and cuddly about Nigel Farage
I wonder how many people are voting for him because they are genuinely fans and how many are voting for him because they want to see him eating penis and testicles and get covered in slime and cockroaches?

So that’s two digs at posters on here and not one actual argument about why we shouldn’t worry about the boats

It really wasn't, though. Nigel got Brexit over the line with it - it resonated with many racists and xenophobes.

It resonated with me and I'm neither. We're chocka. Why are you so sure you're right?

From what they're posting I'm guessing they're quite insular, is the answer.

I thought it had been accepted that we need migration? The NHS, care homes, farming, there are so many sectors that rely on immigration. That is why the Tories have got themselves into a pickle. On one hand they are trying to placate the gammon voters and the far right of the party and in the other they know that we are stuffed without them. In trying to balance things up and not being honest about the need for migrants they have shafted themselves.We have way too much immigration for a small island. Cut it in half and watch things improve- it would free up housing for a start. Baby stepsOf course immigration's not the only issue and austerity HAS had an impact, but it does contribute
It's not about being callous towards migrants in need, but we get it ALL and we can't cope. There needs to be more of a balance
The money wasted on the stupid Rwandan vanity project would have been better spent on recruiting staff to deal with the massive backlog of asylum claims and a properly effective campaign in France against the trafficking gangs (another waste of money so far because current measures clearly haven’t stopped the boats).
We also need to understand that we are an aging population. Instead of forcing the old and infirm back to work, we should welcome younger, fitter workers here to help. This morning they were talking about how well Luxembourg is going financially and how migrant workers are contributing to their economy.
Instead of demonising migrants as Patel, Braverman and Jenrick have done (we even have a separate minister for illegal immigrant FFS!) we need to sort this out, stop thinking about migrants as terrorists and rapists, speed up the application process so those not meeting the criteria are sent back home, and put more time and energy into rebuilding the economy, the NHS and other public services. That is what we need. Not this endless pathetic attempt at distraction from the main issues facing the UK right now. This shower will only stop throwing red meat to the gullible when it stops working. Don’t fall for it!

More and more people are talking about how this country is broken and nothing works. When the Middke Classes start getting twitchy you know things are getting bad. It is only Brexit although that has hamstrung our ability to deal with the various problems we face. Years of enforced austerity, a global pandemic, wars in Ukraine and the Middle East…it isn’t easy, we know that. But successive absolutely useless PM’s and their cabinets have only served to make things worse. As for being stronger alone, that myth has been busted surely? Even Farage can only come up with the submarine deal with Australia as a benefit from Brexit.
Brexit has screwed small businesses, our farming industry, our fishing industry, our freedom of movement…I could go on but I guess I will just be dismissed as a negative remoaner.
I would have loved Brexit to have been a success and to have been proved wrong as my life and those of my children would have improved. As it is, they have got worse.
If there was a vote tomorrow this country would vote to rejoin the EU. That’s how successful leaving was.
More and more people are seeing how they were lied to about the so called benefits, about the sovereignty lies, the migration lies. This is not being stuck in a mindset. It is coming to terms with reality and not PR spin from those with ulterior motives

Thank you, I think I missed your post Doh!

Thanks to all of you.Just Google the voting numbers. That's the only way anyone will know them

I don't watch the show, but I'm going to vote for him in the hope that he will help get the reform party off the ground. We need an alternative party to vote for at the next election. If we're allowed to vote for the next Government that is!Nigey?

Seriously, how are we 'chocka'? There are loads of jobs available, for a start. The Uk's problems aren't being caused by immigrants (who are generally younger and net contributors to the economy - anyone interested in facts can read it here: https://assets.publishing.service.g...he_Fiscal_Impact_of_Immigration_on_the_UK.pdf - they're being caused because the country is poorly managed and money is being wasted hand over fist so services are crumbling. We've all been told to blame it on brown people, but if you actually think about it, it isn't true. Good ole Nige is a self interested conman.

I don’t think anyone anti mass immigration is anti brown people, it was coming from the EU as well. It’s the same line of thought as squawking racist whenever anyone makes a point about it
