Labour vs Farage

The BBC reports:

Speaking after the speech on the BBC’s Politics Live, Lammy was asked whether he thought Farage was a racist. 

He said the PM had been calling out policies “that would line people up who have a right to be in this country, who might be Indian, who might be Nigerian, and send them home”.

He added: “It’s not British. It doesn’t respect our values.

“I’m not going to play the man. I’m playing the ball, as our leader did.

“I will leave it for the public to come to their own judgements about someone who once flirted with Hitler Youth when he was younger.”

The UK Deputy PM says he is going to play the ball, not the man, and in the same breath alleges Farage flirted with Hitler Youth. The hypocrisy is so immense.

A small problem is that Farage was born in 1964 and Hitler died in 1945. But hey, let’s call our opponents Nazis because that always works so well.
