'Islam are Nazis': Nigel Farage forced to defend remarks made by Reform UK candidates | LBC
Nick Ferrari confronts Nigel Farage with a list of controversial comments made by candidates for his party. The Reform UK leader insists there's nothing he can do about it now as those candidates are 'already on the ballot paper.' Nick suggests he 'disown them' but, while he admits he 'may' do that, Mr Farage says he doubts he would.
Many of the comments were on the public record already, but a fresh video unearthed by LBC was put to Mr Farage. It shows one candidate saying ‘Islam and Nazis are the same thing’ during a public rant in 2017.
Mr Farage said it was ‘utter cobblers’ that Reform UK candidates had voiced ’Nazi sympathies’ as he took calls from listeners on LBC this morning.
He was confronted on air with comments made by individuals standing for Reform UK, including one who described the pandemic as a ‘health holocaust’ and a another who said vaccine firms were like ‘Nazi armament companies.”
Mr Farage dismissed the remarks, saying: “People chuck stuff around on Facebook and they like comments.”
On keeping the candidates in the party, he said: “I can disown them but I can’t deselect them.”
Nick Ferrari confronted Mr Farage after LBC unearthed comments made by Reform UK candidate Steve Chilcott, who said ‘Islam and Nazis are the same thing’ during a public 2017 rant.
Earlier this week the Times reported on a Reform UK candidate who said Britain should have been ‘neutral on Hitler’.
Ian Gribbin also praised President Putin and said women should be denied healthcare.
The party has stood by him, but Gribbin later apologised saying his comments had been “taken out of context.”
