"That said he should still be done for incitement".Never happen. He lets the hard men do it. Nothing to do with him. Macavity's not there.“Nigel Farage has once again gone as close as he can to what feels like incitement, before stepping back,” says Emily Maitlis.“He’s saying: ‘Oh no, I'm just saying you might feel quite angry, you might feel angry with the system, you might feel angry with the tragedy, you might feel angry with the outcome, I'm not suggesting you do anything – I'm just saying it would be normal to feel pure cold rage’.”She says this is a “verbal tic” he has perfected, and allows him to always deny liability for what comes next.“It wasn't him that sent people to Southampton,” Emily adds.“It wasn't him that went on the train like Tommy Robinson to chant words which were almost certainly horrifying to Henry Nowak's family and friends. He can say it wasn't him that injured 11 officers.”“Violence doesn't just spill out onto the streets, it emerges onto the streets when people like him incite it.”This is not the first time Farage has made himself the centre of a British tragedy.Immediately after the 2024 Southport stabbings at a Taylor Swift dance class, he suggested the truth of the story was being withheld from people, and that the killer was an Islamic extremist.Riots followed, but Farage could not be directly connected to those either."(Emily Maitlis - The News Agents)
