Nigel Farage's evolution from Brexiteer to politician to 'journalist' | The New European

well your allegedly competent journalist is just wrong but even he describes him as a reporter.

Cub reporter Nige's pitch is that large groups are reaching Britain (more than 1,000 so far this year, while the figure for the whole of 2019 was 1,850), that 'over 300 attempted illegal migrant boat crossings' happened over the Bank Holiday weekend, that he has ''witnessed first hand our Border Force acting as a taxi service for illegal migrants' and that of the last 3,000 people to arrive via Channel crossings, less than 5% have been returned. 'Most people coming through this route would never qualify as refugees. Maybe one or two might come from oppressed areas,' he said.

More than 7,500 migrants have crossed the Channel this year | Daily Mail Online

More than 7,500 migrants have crossed the Channel this year: Record total is now four times the figure for 2019 after 100 refugees risked dangerous journey on Monday

• Border Force separated seven separate boats on Monday, day after a man died
• People traffickers are fuelling the rise in crossings by hiring French fishing boats
• Monday saw the second highest number crossings this month after Saturday

Nigel Farage is no journalist, writes Steve Anglesey, but a has-been whose migrant 'invasion' narrative is pure fiction.

According to this site he calls himself a Freelance Writer: Nigel Farage | Freelance Journalist | Muck Rack

According to this page he is 'an internationally renowned leader and speaker' but nothing about what he is currently. As far as you can tell he is still a politician: Biography - Official Site of Nigel Farage

Also, the above page has this startling fact:

This made Nigel the only man in British political history to win two national elections with two different parties.

Here is his agent: Nigel Farage | H Talent Management and as far as I can tell from that, his reporting (maybe you can call it journalism) is standing on a cliff in Dover making YouTube videos

You could also go to his Twitter page where he's down as Leader of the Brexit Party: https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage

Or his Facebook page where he's down as a Politician: Nigel Farage - Home | Facebook

I mean FFS it’s like Mexican President who said that Mexico won’t pay for the fecking wall, despite Trump’s claims - totally legit thing to say. but not if he started doing it while attending Clintons’ rallies (whuch he didn’t), is such an obvious “nuance” beyond comprehension for Brexidiots? Looks that way

Farage does not call himself a journalist

Biography - Official Site of Nigel Farage

He will once he is in jail

[Paddy]

He is a former (I previously used the term 'currently unemployed') journalist whether you like it or not. Name a journalist who is truly independent. I'll save you the trouble, there aren't any, they are all people with their own prejudices and views. He is as free to voice his support for Trump as you are to view your support for Gina Miller, or anyone else who wants the UK to remain as a mickey mouse state within the EU. You are free to disagree, but the minute you dismiss someone elses view as invalid, you become a fascist.

How is that different from Obama speaking out for the Remain campaign?

I highlighted in bold bits in my post above before you asked this predictably Mor Onic question.

Obama expressed his view on his own US soil since US would be party to future trade deal in event of Brexit.

Now if Obama came to UK and joined forced with Cameron during official rally then it would be analogous.

Farage (who is not a US citizen) took part in official campaign and on US soil to advocate for one candidate, that’s not ok by any stretch - would say the same if he (or anybody else) did it for Biden

Why do you think he did such a stupid thing? Most likely to pass to/from Trump message from their Master without risk that GCHQ/NSA records it

He is not a journalist in any sense of the word. He is a political activist with a set mission. On LBC, it was all about himself and his policies, writing text is merely a press release for his own party... he has never been independent in his broadcasts or his writing. Is he acting as a journalist now? No he is promoting his own agenda and supporting Trump.

Has the cold weather shrunk your willie?

Your wife & mum still likes it.

so you still can't answer these hard questions?

[Paddy]

I will try again in bigger letters for the hard of thinking.

What qualification does he lack that prevents him being a journalist?

What does he need to perform to become a journalist?

What makes your or barmie's opinion important in his classification as a journalist?

Lets try answering these simple questions first !

Has the cold weather shrunk your willie?

[vetran]

In my irrelevant opinion He is well below even a biased opinion writer

FTFY!

OK in my opinion jezzybellend was a complete failure as a politician but he held the position of leader of the opposition. This makes him qualified to describe himself as a politician and additionally as a successful one.

The problem is you don't like him so you ignore facts. To be a journalist you only need to partake in journalistic activities, which he has done and there is even published text, video & audio proof. As pointed out above you don't have to be any good. You don't need any qualifications to be a journalist.

oh look the press gazette

What makes a good journalist? - Press Gazette

Its not like Germany where you need a qualification to do anything.

He is well below even a biased opinion writer
