Farage is painfully quiet on the latest Trump-Epstein revelations

Nigel Farage has made no secret of how much he admires Donald Trump. This is becoming a problem for Farage, however, as Trump himself does keep secrets, as he wrote to his friend Jeffrey Epstein in 2003:

may every day be another wonderful secret.

We’re once again discussing Trump’s connection to Epstein because there’s been a release of a new tranche of emails. This tranche included revelations on Trump’s dealings with Epstein’s right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell:


Farage, meanwhile, is completely silent on the topic. This is interesting given the fact that he recently tried to sell himself as a defender of women.

Trump – Epstein

The newly released emails suggest Trump knew more about Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than he cares to admit:


Trump himself has avoided answering questions on the latest leaks:

Of course, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Trump is linked to Epstein. After all, Trump was found guilty of sexually abusing E. Jean Caroll, and he has a string of other allegations against him spanning decades.

What should come as a surprise is that Farage thinks he can present himself as a protector of women despite his close relationship with Trump. Most recently, this saw Farage holding a conference with a survivor of grooming gangs:

As we reported, Farage almost instantly toxified the situation, with several survivors demanding an apology from him. This is what Farage said of the women who disagreed with him:

But here’s the truth about the other five, just as I said at the start of this press conference, there are two very distinctly different groups of young people who were sexually abused and raped by adults.

And what has happened with this inquiry is the Government have quite deliberately from the very start, widened the scope out from those who were victims of Pakistani grooming gangs and brought in other women.

The women responded:

Nigel Farage should apologise.

What he said about us is categorically untrue, saying we shouldn’t be on the panel because we are watering it down and we are survivors of other abuse, not grooming gangs. We are survivors of grooming and grooming gangs.

Farage’s lack of knowledge and assumptions about our experiences as victims and survivors of grooming gangs proves he should not have a platform to make decisions about us or our input.

His ignorance and untrue statements about us, our experiences and the validity of our involvement, his lack of understanding or care to look into our lives to make sure what he was saying was true, has meant he has dismissed people who this inquiry is for.

What a wretched opportunist this man is.

All quiet

The following videos are the most recent statements we can find from Farage on Trump, with both coming the day before the Epstein emails dropped:

This is grim, isn’t it?

Supposed patriot Nigel Farage arguing that Britain is a weak and helpless nation which simply cannot defend itself without the support of history’s most notorious Epstein associate.

Farage also wants daddy Trump to sue the BBC (which is odd, to be honest, given the endless air time they give Reform):

To be fair to Farage, he has previously said Trump should release the Epstein files. In the same breath, however, he defended Trump’s association with the dead nonce. This is how Politico reported it in July this year:

Asked on British radio station LBC whether further documents should be released, Farage said: “I think they should.”

The Reform Party leader and longtime ally of Trump went on to say that he had never discussed it with the U.S. leader, but added: “I think this is one area where Donald has sort of put himself into conflict with much of his own base.”

Farage observed that if he’d been of a different generation, he too would have probably come into contact with Epstein. “Had I been 10 years older, I would have done, because they were the circles … ” he added.

Most people agree that it’s bad for the leader of a country to be associated with an infamous paedophile network. Farage – bizarrely – is saying that the only reason he wasn’t in Epstein’s orbit is because of the coincidence of his birth.

Umm, okay?

No one is forcing him to say this, so this is presumably his honest opinion. As such, it’s no wonder he hasn’t sought to distance himself from Trump.

Man of a certain sort of people

As people have said, Farage is very comfortable in the company of men with who have accusations and/or convictions:

If Farage wants to appeal to the sort of shit heads who still love Conor McGregor, that’s his business. He shouldn’t, however, think he’s going to get away with painting himself as a great protector of women.

Oh, and in case you didn’t know, there is much more to come on the Epstein case, and we could see a big release in the coming months:
