September 7, Melbourne – Protest Nigel Farage: Oppose the far right
Nigel Farrage is the ex leader of the far right British party United Kingdom Independence Party. He is well know for his racist, xenophobic and sexist positions. Join the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism to protest him.
Here’s a few key heinous Farage moments:
* In May 2014 Mr Farage was accused of a “racial slur” against Romanians after he suggested he would be concerned living next to a house of them. “I was asked if a group of Romanian men moved in next to you, would you be concerned? And if you lived in London, I think you would be,” he told LBC radio during an interview.
* Defending one of Ukip’s candidates, who used the word “ch**ky” to describe a Chinese person, Mr Farage said: “If you and your mates were going out for a Chinese, what do you say you’re going for?“ When he was told by the presented that he “honestly would not” use the slur, Mr Farage replied: “A lot would”.
*At a Q&A on the European Union in January 2014 Mr Farage said there was no discrimination against women causing the gender pay gap. Instead, he said, women were paid less because they were simply “worth far less” than many of their male counterparts.
