Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has retracted comments suggesting Nigel Farage "flirted with Hitler Youth." This row stems from allegations made in 2013, accusing Farage of singing Nazi songs as a teenager. At the time, Farage denied claims of marching and chanting "Hitler Youth songs" during his school days.

 

The accusations continue to stir tensions. A source from Reform UK described the comments as "disgusting and libellous" and "beneath contempt." The controversy follows Sir Keir Starmer’s criticism of Reform UK's policy on scrapping indefinite leave to remain, labelling it "racist" and "immoral." The Labour party has since taken care to direct criticism at specific policies without condemning the party's supporters.

 

In a recent speech, the prime minister criticised Farage and Reform for inciting division and declared a commitment to combat racist rhetoric. On BBC's Politics Live, Lammy was questioned about perceiving Farage as a racist. He highlighted policies targeting individuals lawfully in the UK based on ethnicity and emphasised the need to criticise policies, not individuals.

 

FFollowing these remarks, Lammy clarified his stance during an interview with the BBC News Channel. stated, "[Farage] has denied it, and I accept his denial, emphasising the importance of focusing on policies." Lammy admitted, "I wasn't at school with Nigel Farage. I don't know what songs he sang." His clarification aims to address the comments, affirming the prime minister's focus on policy critique.

 

 

Key Takeaways

 

• Lammy retracted his comments linking Farage to Hitler Youth allegations.
• Reform UK dismissed the claims, labelling them as "libellous."
• The focus remains on policy critiques rather than individual attacks.

Lammy is a complete tool.

 

The fact that he holds a senior position within government is a huge embarrassment to the country and a damning indicment of DEI policy.

 

It's not even funny at this point. 

 

If I was Farage I would sue his nuts off.

The trial discover would be interesting, perhaps Channel 4 will be co-respondents.

 

But your correct, it’s not even funny at this point:

 

”Yet another colleague described how, at a Combined Cadet Force (CCF) camp organised by the college, Farage and others had marched through a quiet Sussex village very late at night shouting Hitler-youth songs.”

Lammy already retracted Chomps. Didn't you get the memo? I suggest you do the same. 

 

Channel 4 are worse than The Guardian. Brit hating communists.

Is there really so little evidence that Farage is a racist or fascist that you need to go back to 1981 to provide hearsay to confirm this?  We have evidence that David Lammy is a thick and we only need to go back one day.   This is the same guy who called the Vatican racist for using white smoke to signal a new pope has been selected.  I'd sit this one out if I was you.

Evidence from 1981 which is no ‘hearsay’ is confirmation that Farage has been a racist since he was an adolescent.

My mistake, I wrongly presumed you would know what hearsay was.   I forget that English is not your first language so not your fault.   Let me give you the definition:

 

"information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor"

 

The "letter" you refer to was a second hand account of an alleged event.  Hence the term hearsay.   This completes your English lesson for today.   You are welcome.

Lammy and the other Labour MPs are getting desperate and are a scared stiff of Farage and his popularity that they are lashing out with just nonsense in a bid to do some reputational damage to Reform UK. The Labour cabinet is stuffed full of clowns with sneering vile mouths (typical far-left monsters).

These sort of accusations of parallels to Nazis and their institutions (that are thrown around so lightly now) show a supreme lack of understanding of history and belittles how bad things really were back then 80-100 years ago. The real Nazis from the Second World War and beforehand were so extreme that their modern-day equivalent in fanatical ideaology would be something like ISIS... Stalin and the Soviet system was pretty much up there too, but for WW2 they were on the allied side, so got away with it until the Cold War.

Lammy mentioned the war and he thought he got away with it 🤔

David Lammy at his best. 

 

 

After recent events in the US you'd think DEI Lammy might have the common sense to tone down this type of rhetoric.

 

To the contrary, he seems to be stoking it up. It's bordering on hate speech according to Labour's own definition.

 

He never was the smartest cookie though, our "MasterMind" DEI Lammy. 😄 

About the size of it a vote of no confidence in the whole government is coming.

He is only there to make Starmer look good, and he is not even good enough for that.

Just leaving this for the choppers

 

 

 

Labour. A National embarrassment.

Compare and contrast 

 

The idiots of the Labour Party in the video above, and Nigel Farage

 

 

 

And that is why Labour, you are getting spanked in the polls after only 14 months in Government.

 

Nigel Farage, compared to a rabble rousing pile of excrement.

But it is hearsay!   What empirical evidence is there?

Nice try LL but he won't come up with anything because he believes that patriotism, or putting your own country first, is racist.

 

You have to be something of a tw4t to think that.

Free publicity. You can't buy that kind of  public reach. Labour is handing Reform a victory. 

Farage is ignoring the Conservatives and Liberal democrats. Smart strategy for now.

If the wokes in the UK want to dig up Sh##T from the past, there would be far worse things to point on that were committed by the US since the 19th century in their colonies. So drop it now for God's sake with Farge and his gang. Farge's all over the world come to power not because people agree with such politics. Farges and Trumps come to power because the people in the west are plainly fed up in seeing their governments spending billions on issues abroad, when neglicting the well being of their own inland. 

Lammy is the perfect example of what happens when you educate an idiot.

The Speach given by Farage Attacking Starmer was Aired 20 Minutes after Srarmer spoke. The bias BBC never even filmed it or reported in there news. Neither did ITV.

The BBC is the state funded propaganda tool of the Labour party and the left wing in general.

Au Contraire

 

The comment was not made in Parliament. It was made at the labour Conference.

Rabble rousing from the opposition benches is far easier than sitting in the big seats.

 

The utter folly, and scale of lies contained within " After 14 years in Opposition, we have a plan ready to go from day 1 "

 

When the last standpoint is the scattergun of insults, leading to retractions, Labour already know the game is over.
