Is Nigel Farage controlled opposition?
Let’s try to get a grip on this one, shall we?
Elon Musk has been a prominent voice supporting Reform and Nigel Farage. There has even been the suggestion that he could donate a large amount of money to Reform to help it win political power in 2029. So far, so good. However, Musk has also revealed himself to be a big supporter of Tommy Robinson and even pinned the following to the top of his X Timeline for a few days!
Just for a moment, the stars aligned. Here was a moment when Reform could be supercharged by an injection of thousands of Tommy Robinson supporters and a stronger Reform created. This was a moment? Yes? Well, no..
Nigel Farage was having none of it. Just listen to what Farage had to say on the subject;
In essence, Farage wants NOTHING to do with Tommy Robinson and those who support him. He is also rejecting the Elon Musk narrative.
I think this is poor form from Farage yet again and even cowardly. Robinson is far from perfect, of course, but who in politics is? There are people in Reform with dubious records if we want to play that game. Furthermore, why dismiss all the many people who support Tommy Robinson? These are NOT all “working class” as Farage sneers, I met a Professor at the Robinson “Unite the Kingdom” rally!
I think Farage has a problem and it has a name - Islam. In short he is desperate not to be seen publicly as critical of it. The recently appointed Chairman of the Reform Party Zia Yusuf is Muslim. Farage seems reluctant to accept that the entire Rape Gang horror is mired in Pakistani-Bangladeshi gangs all of which are Muslim. The British Establishment also has this same reticence so I put it to you - is Nigel simply making plans for Nigel? Tell me what you think…
Farage deserves enormous credit - he has achieved amazing things including Brexit and supercharging Reform. Unfortunately, he is weak on this incredibly important topic. Overall, I think that Rupert Lowe MP must be the future of Reform (and the UK).
I think Farage has done the right thing. For those that think this would have helped Reform UK build a larger base are wrong. Why are they wrong 2 reasons, 1. For all those people that don't like Tommy but like Reform UK could amd may leave the party or drop support of Reform. The name Tommy Robinson is toxic to a very large amount of the UK populations and therefor for Reform to back Tommy or even a line with him could finish Reform off. 2. Millions of people see Tommy as TOXIC. ". Reform are at a very early stages of building a movement that we hope will replace the UNIparty and this will not be done by siding with Tommy. But 2 things can be true at the same time and that is Tommy supporters can still support Reform even though Reform don't support Tommy. Elon can support Tommy we can support Tommy but if you want to be the next political party running this country the truth is the party can not support Tommy even if it wanted too. You will not win over millions of people to a new party but the leadership supporting Tommy simple too toxic it's as simple as that. Weather you like it or not
