Dear Media and News Outlets, (I’m looking at YOU Sky News (npub10qw…dvdq)
Please stop giving Nigel Farage a platform. I’m all for both sides having a chance to to speak, and healthy debate, but Farage is a proven liar. Nothing he says can be trusted.
For example:
He said Barack Obama had enacted extreme vetting on immigration during his presidency. He didn't.
He said Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain refused to take a single refugee or displaced person from Syria, when in fact there are actually 2-3million Syrians in the Gulf countries.
He accused the European Commission of being the sole arbiter of legislation in the European Union. The Commission takes it priorities from elected member state governments (the Council).
He claims that 70% of the laws in the UK are made by the EU. The independent House of Commons library put it at just 13.2%.
He says that EU Commissioners cannot be removed. The European Parliament can remove Commissioners, but has never exercised this option.
Tweeted about a migrant boat having 12 people with covid arriving in Dover. Home office corrected him that no one had tested positive.
He falsely claimed that renewables produced just 2-3% of the country’s electricity for three weeks in September ‘21. It was actually 10%-19% each day for the first three weeks (and has since increased).
CANCEL THIS LIAR!
