"She looked like she was going to do herself an injury."
That's EXACTLY how abusers talk about their victims. What is there left to say about that utter failed human? Is there literally no depths he won't gleefully plumb?
I know it's a cliche to say it, but I think the tech billionaires bear a lot of responsibility for this. A lot of Brits are consuming hateful content on things like Facebook and YouTube, because a profit-maximising algorithm is pushing that content. It radicalises people to the point where they feel it's justified to assault a woman because she voiced opposition to the right-wing.
Fair enough. I still think the massive, for-profit social media platforms are harmful to many people though. They push stuff you want to hear so you'll keep watching and engaging, and you end up in an echo chamber. It's not like real life where you might come across someone with a bit of a different view, and you think "okay, I can see where they're coming from", and then your own views become a bit more moderate.

And people are stupid and hateful enough to believe this bunch of woman-beaters are the party of "protecting our women and girls".
Why are they not being arrested for assault? It's right there on video.

Don't worry the internet will create a go fund me defence for the woman in question so that she can take legal action.

This isn't a civil matter, this is assault, it's for the criminal justice system, not civil litigation.

The good news, if you can call it that, is that he is having a very bad week.

He said that after laughing about her getting assaulted
Farrage needs to meet tar and feathers and that would get him off super lightly

He's disgusting. By saying that in front of his supporters it's giving the message it's ok to behave that way. Vile price of shit.

Well the good news is that it looks like his supporter base will be around for maybe another 2 years tops.

mixed up Nigel farage and Nigel Richards and was very confused why a scrabble player had people this mad at him
