How might it be done? Let’s look to the US for an example.
We know about two attempts on Donald Trump’s life, the first being 20-year-old Thomas Crooks’ long-distance shots at the Pennsylvania rally on July 13, 2024. Although Trump escaped with only a nick in his right ear the bullets actually killed an audience member and injured two others.
Following that incident people asked about what looked like lax security. The photo here shows agents clustering protectively around the Presidential candidate but you will see that brave as the female agent is she was not tall enough to shield him fully - Trump is six foot three. One more head shot might have changed history. The same article quotes a bystander who says he and others had spotted Crooks on a rooftop several minutes beforehand and tried to alert police, who seemed confused and slow to react.
All this in the context of years-long blackguarding of Donald Trump not only in left-leaning media - how about “Trump Is Speaking Like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini” ? -but by politicians such as Hillary Clinton (remember Reno?)
So, here and now: Farage.
Zia Yusuf of the Reform Party has said “Two weeks ago [mid-September], the authorities reduced Nigel’s security detail by 75 per cent.”
In fact the biscuit-eating oaf doubled down on his evidence-free accusation with a sinister insinuation:
Lammy should resign of course, but should never have been appointed in the first place. He is an ignorant and unscrupulous moron.
One suspects he was carefully briefed not only on his non-retraction “clarification” but also on the original vile slur, which may have been given to him because a brighter Cabinet minister would have had to fall on his/her sword if it became a serious issue. It’s a collective campaign and Lammy has been used as the mule for one of the worst bits; he may yet be forgiven by the public because he is so stupid that nobody expects anything better from him.
So, we’ve wound up the social media to fulminate against Farage; all we need is some crazy wokeist with a knife or a bomb. Or a gun, which few except criminals own these days.
And then there would be the sorrowful official reactions, like after this week’s Manchester Yom Kippur attack.
It is difficult not to think of this Government as almost evil.
Mr Yusuf went on to accuse Sir Keir Starmer of embarking on the “most extraordinary, unprecedented vicious and coordinated set of demonisation attacks and incitement of violence” against the Reform UK leader.Coming back to the Deputy Prime Minister’s “Hitler youth” slur, I noted that when challenged by BBC News, Lammy did not retract, he simply said that he accepted that Farage had denied it!
He added: “We have seen [Sir Keir] get 11 cabinet ministers, along with his own rhetoric, calling him racist, one of those cabinet ministers - the Home Secretary no less - called him ‘worse than racist’, the Deputy Prime Minister in an extraordinary intervention, accused Nigel of ‘flirting with Nazism.’”
Mr Yusuf told GB News that if anything were to happen to Mr Farage, he would “hold the Prime Minister responsible”.
In fact the biscuit-eating oaf doubled down on his evidence-free accusation with a sinister insinuation:
“I wasn’t at school with Nigel Farage. I don’t know what songs he sang at school.”There’s a dog-whistle, if you like. Presumably we must imagine Nigel and his pals at Dulwich College marching around the playground singing the Hitlerjugend anthem “Es zittern die morschen Knochen” (The Rotten Bones Are Trembling).
Lammy should resign of course, but should never have been appointed in the first place. He is an ignorant and unscrupulous moron.
