1. La Propuesta de Farage de Relajar las Leyes de Armas.
El debate se centra en las declaraciones pasadas de Nigel Farage, donde criticó las estrictas leyes de control de armas del Reino Unido, especialmente la prohibición de las pistolas. Aunque Reform UK no lo ha adoptado como política oficial reciente, los opositores políticos, como Ed Davey, han utilizado estas declaraciones para advertir sobre las posibles consecuencias de un gobierno liderado por Farage.
- I think the ban on handguns is ludicrous farage is bought paid for by the american trumpian right, nra, tech bros oil cos.
- Nigel farage has voiced the idea that the uk should relax gun control.
- Reformuks farage has already said he will remove the gun licence laws in the uk if he gets elected.
- Farage wants to revoke our hand gun laws and be more like america that alone should disqualify him from public service.
- Farage 2014 we need a proper gun-licensing system which to a large extent we already have and i think the ban on handguns is ludicrous. He added that he would overturn the ban allow people to keep handguns in a locked box. I doubt his views have changed.
2. La Conexión con Estados Unidos y la Cultura MAGA.
Una crítica recurrente es que Farage busca "americanizar" la política y la cultura británica, importando la obsesión por las armas y la retórica polarizada de la derecha trumpiana. Los comentaristas temen que la relajación de las leyes de armas conduzca a problemas de violencia masiva similares a los de EE. UU., incluyendo la necesidad de simulacros de tiroteos en escuelas.
- I see farage is going to say labour are making life unsafe for reform councillors by claiming starmer is encouraging the same polarised nonsense as in the us. I know you spend a lot of time in the us nigel, but we dont have a gun obsession and dont operate at all in the same way. Drama queen.
- Honestly, he just wants to be america so bad.
- Farage hates the bbc, the nhs, and any british institution that doesnt allow him to scrape off a profit. He wants the uk to be a mini america with ott elections, no gun laws, and a health service that bankrupts our population.
- In the uk there will be fire drills at schools, in the us there will be gun drills in schools, maybe trump needs to focus on his reality before attacking the uk also fuck his puppet farage as well.
- Need a piece on reform and nra they want to roll back uk gun laws - we would need to teach our children how to avoid school shootings nightmare of reform government.
- The 70 pc who are not fans of the xenophobic-trump-loving-maga-worshipping lying g-t farage must vote tactically if they want to keep britain british rather than a gun-toting 51st state of herr trumps tragically fallen usa.
3. Retórica de Violencia y Amenazas Políticas.
El archivo documenta tanto la retórica violenta atribuida a Farage y sus aliados, como las amenazas de violencia dirigidas contra él. Se menciona un concejal de Reform UK que sugirió disparar a Keir Starmer, y el caso de un hombre que fue encarcelado por amenazar a Farage con gestos de armas en TikTok, lo que subraya la polarización y el peligro en el clima político actual.
- Ask him about the reform councillor who said he would shoot starmer himself. Ask about farages statement that he would pick up a gun himself. One party is suggesting violence against political opponents, and its not the labour party!
- Doris on ch 4 winging re starmer putting fhurage in dangerthe same party who has fielded russian spys, fraudsters mysoginists! the same party whose own councillor stated he wouldshoot starmer if he had a gun, and that he should be hung from the nearest lamp post this country needs help asap.
- A man who came to the uk on a small boat and threatened to kill nigel farage has been jailed for five years. - fayaz khan, 26, made a gun gesture with his hand, pointed to an ak-47 tattoo on his face and named the reform uk leader in a tiktok post in october 2024.
- Man gets arrested in the uk for mentioning farage and making a gun gesture. Meanwhile, members of reform uk have genuinely called to allow asylum seekers to drown in the channel and theyre not punished at all? wow.
- Fayaz khan, 26, posted a video last oct, responding to farages migration clips. He made gun noises pop, pop, pop headbutted the camera. Farage testified he was genuinely worried.
4. Estrategia Política y la Metáfora del 'Pistola en la Cabeza'.
El tema de las armas se ha convertido en una herramienta de ataque político, especialmente por parte de los Liberal Demócratas, para advertir sobre las políticas de Reform UK. Además, la metáfora de "ponerse una pistola en el pie" o "tener una pistola en la cabeza" es utilizada frecuentemente para describir la frustración de los votantes de izquierda con el Partido Laborista y sus estrategias percibidas como autodestructivas o coercitivas.
- I liked what the libdems did about saying reform want to privatise the nhs and slacken gun laws. Spread the belief around, its based on a lot of what farage has said, even if it may not yet be official policy.
- Children would have to be prepared for mass shootings under a reform government, sir ed davey has claimed, as he accused nigel farage of planning to roll back gun laws.
- I wouldnt vote labour now if you held a gun to my head.
- Labour has got fewer things wrong than the media would have you believe, and they relish in twisting the narrative to aid the far right, but these past couple of weeks have felt like starmer has held a gun to his foot.
- Labour strategist excellent, when we put a gun to the head of the population, the majority of liberal voters will give us their votes literally everyone else dawg, 40 of lib dem voters would tell you to pull the trigger.
- Labour will lose the next election. Its not about switching, its about no-one will vote labour. The point is that labour swept in with a huge majority and have squandered that in obsessing about winning next time, trying to out-gun reform, when they could have done so much good for the country.
