What about that disgusting immigration poster he did ? He is racist
That’s a fair point. Certainly the poster was pictures of a lot of non white people - whereas the majority of EU migration would have been from white people I suspect. I’m surprised it was allowed as it was misrepresenting migration in the context of the EU.
As I said he was fine when I worked closely with him but when he questioned Sunak’s Britishness the other day it certainly pointed to a different side of his character.

Think the cock up might be yours. You’ve heard of Davos right? Frequently attended by various heads of state and business leaders.

Organisational member. It’s a cooking shop for business and governments to cosy up. You can’t do that without governments attending but it’s not a free for all, China, for example is not a member. Reeves was there last time cosying up to business.
To say you wouldn’t attend at a government level is actually quite interesting- certainly not something you associate instantly with a right wing party. Although you might say it’s isolationist.

It is an interesting move as you’d assume that the actual WEF members would have similar views on capitalism as Farage has.
He can say what he likes now though as none of these things will ever come to pass anyway.

That’s what you’d think. He’s a bit of a conundrum or, as you say, it won’t come to pass so he’s just saying whatever pops in his head that’ll get him another vote.
Was he not referring to illegal immigration and trying to prevent it by taking control of our borders as opposed to immigration per se?What about that disgusting immigration poster he did ? He is racist

No, he was saying that Turkey was about to join the EU - which was deliberately misleading in itself because Cyprus has a veto - and that once they did there would be no stopping a whole queue of non-white people from coming to the UK - which was again deliberately misleading because the massive majority of the Turkish population is white.
The poster was deliberately dishonest and was designed to appeal to racists.
