Do you believe in pluralism?
Do you believe in democracy?
No army in the world will allow this happening.
Last week, we chatted about the series of, it says here, we're describing them as highly questionable videos.
I think that's one way of putting it.
Created by Nigel Farage on Cameo that was unearthed by The Guardian.
Now, the clips included Farage endorsing a neo-Nazi event, repeating extremist slogans, and supporting a man convicted over his involvement in a far-right riot.
So the update this week is that Farage has now decided to stop accepting cameo requests over, according to a source, what they're calling security concerns.
His page on the website now reads, Nigel Farage is unavailable, although you can choose to join the waitlist if you want to.
So all in, the Guardian has found that Farage had charged more than ยฃ370,000.
for the video since joining the platform, and he appeared to have uploaded on 212 occasions whilst parliamentary business was taking place.
Even though it doesn't seem that he regrets the videos, in an ITM broadcast interview, he said, I mean, this is an astonishing quote.
Even for him, this is
absolute bollocks.
If I have a shoe shop and I sell you a pair of shoes and it turns out the person that bought the pair of shoes is a former convicted murderer, is that the fault of the person selling shoes?
Stuart, your thoughts?
No, you can't be Ron Burgundy from Anchorman and just read out whatever is fucking put in front of you.
Yeah, there's a real dissonance in Farage repeating, you know, far-right anti-Semitic talking points for play on Cameo and then punishing somebody for... And the punishment is correct.
Absolutely, you know...
Spreading anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about an attack on two ambulances is an absolute disgrace and should be a sackable offence.
