FARAGE SAYS ISLE OF WIGHT ‘DESERVES BETTER’ AHEAD OF REFORM UK RALLY

FARAGE SLAMS “DEMOCRACY DODGE” OVER SOLENT MAYOR DELAY
Share on FacebookShare on X

Excitement is building as Nigel Farage will visit the Isle of Wight tomorrow (Monday) as part of Reform UK’s local election campaign tour.

Nigel will be on the Island as part of the party’s major local election campaign, with the Reform UK leader and guest speakers addressing local residents.

A rally will be held at 19:00 (doors 17:30) at GG’s Bar & Restaurant on the outskirts of Newport, where thousands of Islanders are expected to attend.

Article continues below this advertisement

Shuttle buses are being put in place from a park and ride operation at nearby Robin Hill, in order to get the crowds to and from the venue safely.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage MP has said:

“I’m coming to the Isle of Wight because your community deserves better than the managed decline delivered by Labour and the Conservatives. They have broken Britain, and they refuse to admit it.

“This campaign is about telling the truth and offering real change. Reform UK is ready to fix Britain – but we can’t do it without you.”

Reform says their campaign will highlight that they are the only party committed to securing Britain’s borders, cutting waste and putting the Island’s council first.

Restore Britain is the only hope.

Reform are the Brexit party and we know
how that ended, not an happy ending!

The boats have been arriving in the masses since
Brexit, so the numpties who voted Brexit caused the
influx, and the same numpties are now voting Reform.

Some people have no idea

Bless them.

no, it is the vile lefties that want unfettered illegal immigration that are not welcome. The increase in clearly non islanders in and around the bus stations lately, is a sign that the iw council is accepting illegals from the mainland, who arrived on dinghys – which are not welcome here

You sound like an uneducated Reform r’acist!

The Island doesn’t need such persons, do you not
know how many persons of culture work for the NHS
and do a wonderful job, keep them coming to the
island, the island needs to diversify!

I have been on the Island 50 years this year and over
the years from different people I have met and articles
I have read it is shocking how racist the island is,
strangely many Islanders are even against white overnors
so now they are finally seeing people of colour living on
the island they don’t like it, how do you expect
people on the mainland felt when their towns and cities
were taken over by other nationalities.

Why do you think people move to the island!

If the Government want to house migrants in empty
hotels on the island, what’s the problem, the island is
part of the UK, and should not receive different rules
to the mainland.

If the West left all these countries alone they would
not be arriving on boats on a daily basis.

In 2029 if not sooner both Isle of Wight seats fill go to reform. Current polling puts them on 42% west wight and 41% east wight so this suggests he may have many people welcoming him to the island.

So that must mean that the majority of the island
are r’acists.

Lack of education is the problem.

So by your reckoning at least 42% of island adults are racist. Grow up for gods sake voting reform does not mean you are racist it means you want change.

In a supposedly civilised country it would have been nice to have the option to go and hear what any or every possible candidate has to say.
I wanted to go to hear what Reform had to say (which does not mean I support them) but I won’t be attending because of the mindless threatening to spoil the meeting for all that will be there.
It is not democracy when others can dictate.
Shame.

How can you tell that ‘excitement is building’

Will he be arriving in a small boat? Or by a billionaire donors private jet at Sandown? Do we need to alert the coastguard?

What’s the betting all the tradesmen will down
tools early, go home brush up, put a splash of
Brut on and then go to GGs

HAVE YOU NOT SEEN ALL THE TORIES WHO HAVE
DEFECTED TO REFORM!, it makes them the
“OLD TORY PARTY WITH A DIFFERENT LEADER”

It would be like a local football team with all
French players in the team, hardly Pompey United.

from the comments on here, it seems that Farage’s strategy of divide and conquer is working well…

Those who see through his rhetoric, and understand that a Reform government would be a disaster for the UK, express their opinions as to why they feel so,..
where as those who support him, claim that any comment not supporting / revering Farage, is wrong, and any explanation given is taken straight from the Farage / Trump made-up-‘fact’ play-book, rather than any reasoned / informend logic.

Yes. We do deserve better. So stay off the island.

I implore you old folk to genuinely do some research and take a look at the policies for each party, follow the money, and realise that Farage is not here to help you or anyone you care about.

He is backed by the billionaires who wish to stay in power. He is scapegoating every potential minority he can, whether that be immigrants “coming on dinghy’s”, lgbt people merely existing, or the disabled ‘scrounging benefits’, to divert attention from the damage he himself and those at the top are actually causing.

It’s not “lefty loonies” or the “racist right”. It’s the immensely rich, against everyone else. Except terms like these are used to hyperpolarise the public against each other and propagate hatred.

It’s the same with the conservatives and (now, unfortunately) labour.
