Farage quit after stabbing threats (threats against his young daughters)
The Sunday Times ^ | July 10 2016, 12:01am | Dipesh Gadher

Fear of an assassination attempt and threats aimed at his children helped push Nigel Farage to resign as Ukip leader.

The Sunday Times can reveal suspected attackers were caught on at least two separate occasions trying to bring knives into Brexit rallies attended by Farage during the EU referendum campaign.

Both events are understood to have taken place in the north of England, including one “leave” rally in Newcastle, according to an informed source.

Recent threats regarded as “credible” by police are also thought to have been made against Farage’s daughters, Isabelle, 11, and Victoria, 16.

I had not heard much about this except some rapper who apparently had threatened to gang rape his daughters. We are dealing with seriously evil people.

Cheers.

We forget houe much guys like him and Donald are putting on the line.

Except i have the feeling Donald can afford a lot more for security for his family than Farage.

Still risky

Doesn’t surprise me. Progressives are very violent people.

The frequency of these attacks is only going to increase. As the African and muslim population grows and becomes more emboldened by the old media, fueled by funding from both orgs, more is expected.

Much like early Nazism -EU, BLM, feminists, etc. All liberals are totalitarian thugs.

And spineless twit Republican leaders say nothing ...

1. Any leader nowadays is going to be bombarded with threats, mostly empty, from wackos.

2. Farage knew the stakes and only upon winning did he and Johnson skedaddle. Shameful.

Disgraceful....absolutely despicable.My money's on Schultz,Junker and Barosso.But I suppose Van Rumpoy might have been involved.Comments like “damp rag” and “low grade bank clerk” can stick with a guy.

or, back off and out of the limelight for a while. Nigel has accomplished his goal and can now watch from the stands as things play out.

after things cool off, he can re enter the fray

time is part of the process

like bert says...... “history is a process, not an event”

Which begs the question, what does one do in a democratic, civil society when violent people seriously threaten to violently kill you and your family and then start to follow through on those threats.

Until a crime is actually committed, our system often protects the bad more than it protects the potential victims so unless you can afford a full time security detail for your family is screwed.

The only real solution to this Progressive Leftist intimidation is the proactive one developed in Latin America in the 70s and 80s

once again, it is THE LIBERALS who are the violent lunatics

Has there ever been an assassination that was not by a left wing nut?

Exactly. The roots of Progressivism are the French Revolution and The Terror.

People who call for putting wings on pigs should reflect on their own personal lack of wings

Yes they are, but they are also cowards.

When the statue of limitation runs out I will say more.

Many people can be found who will kill for socialism.

The enemy’s great weakness is that they don’t have enough who are willing to die for it.

Clearly, not a leader in the first place.
