Nigel Farage under fire over 'antisemitic tropes' on far-right US talkshow
In the six identified interviews, which date from 2009 to last year, Farage, whose Brexit party is leading polls for the upcoming European elections, repeatedly uses words and phrases such as “globalists” and “new world order”, which regularly feature in antisemitic ideas.
In the interviews, Farage also says:
Members of the annual Bilderberg gathering of political and business leaders are plotting a global government.
The banking and political systems are working “hand in glove” in an attempt to disband nation states.
“Globalists” are trying to engineer a world war as a means to introduce a worldwide government.
Climate change is a “scam” intended to push forward this transnational government.
------------------
The Labour MP David Lammy said the interviews showed “serious questions should be asked about Farage’s associations and networks”.
He added: “His indulgence in conspiracy theories about a ‘new world order’ should send chills down the spine of all who are aware of how these tropes have been used in the past.”

Farage being anti-Semitic alongside being a racist wanker? Say it isn't so....
The tragedy for our democracy is that otherwise reasonable human beings will vote for this piece of shit, because Brexit. They will excuse this nasty because their ends justify the means..... am I being too dramatic if I say this is how democracy's can die?
