This thread on him being completely ripped apart in America is a fascinating listen/read.
What’s equally important is Keir growing some balls and nailing him here

Didn't realise Glinner had moved stateside.

At the risk of sounding like Mark Ashton, deploying 5 armed officers to arrest this guy is giving Farage et al the oxygen they crave.I think front line police have a difficult enough job as it is, without their senior leadership making p*ss poor operational decisions like this. No wonder Starmer and Streeting told them to better prioritise. |
Well, he's not the most reliable witness of even his own life but equally, isn't this "police in airports who are armed because they are police in an airport" rather than a specific flying squad scrambled to intercept a bewildered ex comedy writer? |  | | |

Can we have Jamie Raskin over for a state visit rather than the orange man-baby? I’ve no clue on American politics and what Raskin stands for but the way he spoke to Farage is exactly what we need our politicians to be doing over here. Repeatedly call out his lies, his hypocrisy, his dog whistling scumbaggery in every public forum possible | | | |

FWIW, I do think that one was worthy of a police visit at the very least, it's a pretty unpleasant thing to suggest. |
I’d argue it’s different in the context of comedy when there’s no intent. Her typical audience would know it’s a joke and not a literal suggestion. But it’s certainly a grey area. I’m quite surprised the BBC didn’t cave in there. |  |

it is a big story - for a large portion of the public it reinforces the sense that the police and the state are increasingly out of touch. you need to listen to people outside your bubble. attacking linehan rather than supporting free speech really isn't a good place to end up. |
But Palestine Action protesters are terrorist sympathisers, right? [Post edited 3 Sep 20:31]

Nonsense. Outside of a small echo chamber, no one will have noticed or care about Graham Linehan. Regardless of the right or wrong of the arrest. |
You can guarantee that it will get masses of oxygen though! | |

From my limited experience with some of his team, he/they came across as people who feel they’d been treated unjustly. Earlier in his career, Farage was ridiculed and excluded by many established and traditional politicians. I’m convinced he just wants revenge and to ‘stick it up ‘em’. That’s my personal theory, but I could be wrong. It could just be the lust for power and money. |
Kind of like getting rejected by Art School? |  |

It might have been a case of a couple to arrest him and some more on hand to look after potential wider public order - he is quite a well known, and to some, a divisive public figure.I don't know. |  | | |

i have no time for farage. both starmer and raskin are entirely right. but what most people will take away from the last day is that 5 armed police officers have arrested a comedy writer. if you refuse to focus on what really disturbs the public you leave room for idiots like farage |

I'd say we're still a split nation even years after Brexit. Half the country will not care a jot, half the country will look at this as terrible for freedom of speech. You only have to look at the graphic i posted to see which papers know their readership will be interested, and which will ignore it altogether.
On another note, what on earth were they thinking arresting someone so publicly who has literally moved to America over freedom of speech concerns in the UK? A spectacular own goal from the Met there. [Post edited 3 Sep 19:52]

All police at major airports are armed as a matter of course I believe. They weren’t armed to arrest him. Small point, but does put a slightly different slant on the story. |  |

We need to all mobilise to stop Farage, it will be our darkest day if he and Reform ever get any real power.
Brexit brought the mass immigration that is now being used by Farage to try and win power, it is ridiculous |  |

I do wonder if he’s on borrowed time as an MP. He doesn’t go to his constituency, he doesn’t turn up to Westminster (missing 60% of votes I believe).
It’s a poorly paid inconvenience to him |  | | |

He's currently surfing a wave of being Lambert Popular(namely that he is popular despite being an obvious fraud). One can only hope that he gets found out before he has the opportunity to do more damage than Paul Lambert did. |  |

it doesn't get within a mile of incitement to violence. any jury would laugh it out of court. you'd be better to quote his tweets rather than a twisted version. armed police arresting someone for tweeting has a chilling effect on free speech - it makes the police look biased and to be taking a side on a political issue. it also makes the police look ridiculous when they can't actually investigate shop lifting or burglaries but have the time to harass comedy writers with 5 armed officers.
to most people it makes our key public institutions look deranged. but you've chosen your side and will now defend it right or wrong.
i don't have the will to go through the usual dance with your gang on this, but i promise you that outside of your little bubble these things do matter to most people (people you have contempt for i'm sure). |
He's literally saying 'punch trans people if they go for a piss' mate. That's pretty open incitement.
But fair play, he has Very Real Concerns.

As general rule, a trans person going into a bog just wants a quiet piss and shouldn't be getting a smack for their trouble.
A fascist is generally out and about advocating hatred and violence towards people, particularly if unchecked and whilst, if we're being really wänky hippies out it, shouldn't get a smack, but they'll deserve one A LOT MORE. Hope that helps.

Having been down in Clacton at the weekend, even if a recall or something was put against him he would walk re-election |  |

Hate Preacher Farage isn’t the charismatic orator he’s perceived to be by some. Anyone can spurt out lies in order to seemingly have the answers. When interviewers finally decide to press him, he comes across as awkward and unable to answer.
However hate preacher Farage is a true grifter and knows his audience. He chose Clacton as he knows that the population there fits his demographic who won’t care about whether he attends Parliament or delivers anything. As you say, he’ll walk re-election there.
Four years (or whenever the next election is) is a long time in politics - I’m hoping against hope that the climate will change and he goes back to the fringes. [Post edited 4 Sep 10:11]

I think one of the better hopes we may have is that Farage decides that there is more money and less effort in right wing grifting than there would be getting up higher in politics.
I think enough people have swallowed the cool aid to back him, almost as high as he wants to go. But being an MP is proving pretty inconvenient for him so hopefully he's shirking any further thoughts of anything more grand. [Post edited 4 Sep 10:18]

I think that's wishful thinking. Farage and his backers behind the scenes now have their foot firmly in the establishment door. He already sets the mood music for the national debate so I doubt he's going anywhere. I've said it loads but his end goal is leader of the Conservative Party. They're in a right state at the moment and are in danger of becoming an irrelevance. Having the most recognised and loudest politician in the country as their leader would put them right back on top. |  | | |

I’m just amazed that people see what’s going on in the US with tariffs driving inflation up, and soaring national debt due to tax cuts and think “I want some of that!” | | | |

That's probably a spot on assessment. He wants to be seen as the brave resistance against the system. The thought of actually having any responsibility terrifies him.
We've seen this before elsewhere - look back to the morning after the Brexit vote. Gove and Johnson hold a news conference minutes after Cameron announces his resignation.
The expression on Johnson's face can be summed up as "Crikey, what have I done? This was supposed to get a jolly jape that ended in heroic defeat casting me as the plucky underdog in an act of brave defiance against the seat of power!"
One clever thing Theresa May did was to put Johnson and other leading Brexiters in charge of sorting it out -" You made this mess, you deal with it" and we know how that turned out.
Farage, Johnson, Trump - cowardly inadequate insecure men, too spineless to take responsibility for anything.
And yes, Haw Haw Farage is a treacherous snake and no patriot. |  | | |
