Nigel Farage Constantly Attacked

In the United Kingdom, Reform UK now poll as the most popular political party by far. They lead with a clear margin ahead of both the UK government and Opposition. They've held this lead for over a year now, they've won literally thousands of council seats, they control many local councils and have several Mayors. In Westminster, they have eight Members of Parliament.

To put this in simple terms; there has been no political party in the history of the UK rise so fast. The kind of change we are witnessing is cultural, political and economic transformation. It is revolutionary. The man behind all this is Nigel Farage. Farage is a kind of political Arthur Daley-type figure with his flash suits and somewhat dodgy persona (channelling the TV series Minder). His Terry McCann-type sidekick is Richard Tice. The two, backed by financier Zia Yusuf, are the barroom brawlers of UK politics. The people like them for this, but the media hacks, establishment figures, City bankers loath them. They want Reform UK disposed of in the dustbin of history.

Daily we see constant personal attacks on Nigel Farage and his cohort. It has become tiresome to say the least. Opposition to Reform has plunged to the depths of the sewers, now devoid of ideas, or argument, just attacks on the man. How unseemly.

These attacks continue because the establishment are worried. Worried as in sweating profusely. They can see their future endeavour's being side-lined by the rise of Reform UK. From my vantage point, I find this hilarious, you can smell the desperation, almost taste it. 

And don't write off Nigel Farage. Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, I would ask people about Nigel Farage and he was always dismissed as a kook, a flash in the pan. Well, that proved wrong as he has had the biggest influence on British politics since 1945. Britain has now irreversibly left the EU, after it never democratically joined it in the first place. Britain shat on its empire, and joined their enemies on the Continent and were promptly bankrupted for their stupidity. Now, Britain has less of an economy, next to no military and cannot even secure its own borders. Farage says he can solve that, and I would not doubt him, he probably can.

Reform UK seem to have tapped into a mood across the UK that goes beyond middle class versus working class. In all areas, middle class, working class, North and South, people are voting Reform. Getting people to change habits when actually in the polling booth is a major victory and Reform has done that - amazing.

Farage needs to keep hammering the elites, and remind voters that when you're taking a lot of flak, you're over the target. Voters realise this and will vote for Reform, they can see these attacks for what they are; desperate measures from failing media and stale old-boy networks. 

At the next general election, if Reform UK can become part of a coalition government, or the Official Opposition, then I'd say this would be the biggest political shift in a hundred years.
