Nigel Farage today defended Donald Trump's decision to re-tweet Britain First insisting the 'liberal elite' had over-reacted.

The ex-Ukip leader used an appearance on the BBC's The Andrew Marr Show to claim the reaction has been 'out of all proportion' to the offence.

The President's decision to re-tweet three messages from the far right Britain First group has been widely condemned.

Prime Minister Theresa May launched a rare direct attack on Mr Trump, branding him 'wrong' for his tweets - prompting a bizarre cross-Atlantic spat.

Other critics even claimed Mr Trump should be arrested when he next visits Britain.

Prime Minister Theresa May (pictured today in her Maidenhead constituency with husband Philip) launched a rare direct attack on Mr Trump, branding him 'wrong' for his tweets - prompting a bizarre cross-Atlantic spat

Mr Farage said today: 'Do I think those tweets were in good taste? Not particularly, no.

'But the point is that the level of outrage from the liberal elite in this country is out of all proportion with what happened here.'

He added: 'Was the story about ISIS throwing people off buildings fake news? No. It wasn't. It was true.'

Farage also repeated his claim to have 'done more than anybody in this country to stop the rise of the far-right in Britain,' by giving BNP voters someone else to vote for.

And he endorsed the President's controversial claim that there were 'extremists' on 'both sides' of a protest in Charlottesville.

The event saw far-right groups marching with torches yelling 'Jews will not replace us' and a counter protester was mown down and killed when a car was driven into pedestrians.


President Trump (pictured last night boarding Air Force One in New York) has been condemned since his decision to re-tweet three messages from the far right Britain First group has been widely condemned.


The first video President Trump posted depicted 'Muslim migrant' according to Britain First leader Jayda Fransen, beating up a 'Dutch boy on crutches'


Mr Trump has fired back at the PM by saying she should concentrate on 'Radical Islamic Terrorism taking place in the UK' and not his Twitter activity. Twitter users were also quick to point out that the president had tagged the wrong Theresa in his message

On the same show, ex-Labour aide Ayesha Hazarika told Mr Farage: 'Just remember as Jo Cox lay dying, the scumbag who executed her shouted out the words 'Britain First.'

She added: 'Donald Trump is a racist, he's misogynistic and he's Islamophobic. He peddles in stirring up hate and division. That might be something you agree with, but that is not what British values are in this country.'

Farage interrupted, repeatedly saying: 'You're out of touch, you're out of touch.'

Well of course he would. Bigots stick together.

Just like you would defend Roy Moore for cruising malls for teenagers.

There's nothing bigoted about campaigining against the evils of Islamism.

What do the Left find so attractive about Islamism that they are willing to defend it and flood our countries with it?

The videos show Muslims attacking innocent people. What's wrong with retweeting such images? How is it "racist" or "bigoted"?
**********************************

Here we go. It's that time of year again. There are, right now, hundreds of Muslim men and boys marching intimidatedly past chanting loudly and waving banners to celebrate Mohammed's birthday or something. It's a disgrace.

No. I think the liberal elite supports Islamism and calls anyone who opposes it - I.e. almost everybody - "bigoted" and "Islamophobic" (a word they made up).

Well the liberals aren't very liberal.

They attack and want to shut up anyone who disagrees with the things they support: homosexuality, abortion, the EU, mass immigration, Islamism.

We'll see who's right and who's wrong once Britain leaves the EU in March 2019 and regains control over her borders, whilst your country remains in the EU and is flooded with millions of Muslims.

Whilst I would like us to have left the European Union straightaway on 24th June last year, the actual leaving date is two years after Article 50 was triggered, which was triggered on 29th March this year.

Ooof.
I'm not sure leaving the EU will actually slow that down, the UK will still 'need' open borders
to get all the 3rd world left voting taxgrabbers to fund all the benefit programs.
Or bleed whatever is left completely dry.

Very few in the government actually want to leave.
No one in the opposition wants to leave.

Only the people voted for that.
And to hell with the people.

Could a change in governing party reverse anything?

No.
Smaller parties Liberal Democrats, SNP, would immediately reverse the decision if given power.
The referendum is irrelevant to them.
Labour would play the same games, even though the leader, Jeremy Corbyn, would secretly like to leave.
But the majority of Labour MPs and party members want to stay in the EU.

Or, at a minimum, go from being 'half in' the EU, to being 'half out' of the EU.
