The claims are only surfacing now because we have more ability to surface clips than in 2013 when legacy media and chronological feeds meant clips like this didn’t spread very far and Farage seemed like an EU obsessed crank
Here is Farage with the denial he made back in 2013 to Michael Crick on Channel4. As @mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk observes Farage ludicrously claims that these allegations have only surfaced now because he’s doing so well in the polls. He’s taking us all for mugs. youtu.be/LM3ggDc34c4?...

Immigrants have helped, improved and enriched this country more than the likes of Farage and Yaxley-Lennon could do in a thousand lifetimes, so it would be quite nice if the government didn’t pander to feeble dickheads like them with rhetoric like this.

I don't understand why the British media allows a far right party funded by the super rich and stuffed full of former Tories to continue to present itself as "anti-elite". It's such a blatant and risible lie yet Farage is never called out on it.
