    Farage stunned by Scotland visit – ‘We’ve not had protests like that for a while’

    Farage stunned by Scotland visit – ‘We’ve not had protests like that for a while’

    Cliff Notes – Farage stunned by Scotland visit

    • Nigel Farage faced protests during his recent media conference in Aberdeen, reflecting ongoing tensions surrounding his political presence in Scotland.
    • Despite Reform UK’s rising prospects in Scottish polls, the party struggles for traction compared to ongoing SNP dominance, with an impending by-election as a critical test.
    • Political adversaries, including John Swinney and Anas Sarwar, have sharply criticised Farage, underscoring the contentious political landscape ahead of the Hamilton by-election.

    How will Scotland react to self proclaimed the ‘Farage tsunami’ at the Hamilton by-election?

    Nigel Farage has a track record of noisy and messy campaign as he visits to Scotland. Strategically avoiding certain locations where the protests are in big numbers.

    After being famously being hounded out of an Edinburgh pub in 2013, on Monday came the Aberdeen media conference in a fish restaurant to the soundtrack of “Farage is a racist” chants outside from the vocal crowd.

    “We’ve not had this (protests) for a long time,” Mr Farage.

    Mr Farage came to northeast Scotland with a spring in his step as Reform UK is pushing for votes in the Scottish polls. But as he admits himself, following the protest and chants, ‘Scotland does not want a racists’ they are unlikely to win.

    The Reform leader has notably pivoted his attacks on the “Scottish establishment” in recent weeks ahead of a by-election in Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse this Thursday.

    SNP chief John Swinney is churning out almost daily press releases about Mr Farage claiming he “doesn’t care about Scotland”. Meanwhile Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar branded the Reform boss a “pathetic little man”.

    This week’s by-election will be a barometer of where Reform support potentially sits more nationally. The SNP and Labour are privately nervous.

    But Scotland, it seems, is not riding the same “Farage tsunami” as England.

    He has ramped up his ‘immigrants boats arriving’ messages ahead of teh election. As he alleges he is capitalising on the disenfranchisement in Scottish politics at the moment, yet the polls suggest the SNP could still storm to power again next year and enter their third decade in power.

    Mr Sarwar and Mr Farage have been at loggerheads in a bitter war of words over an old speech the Scottish Labour leader gave, where he talked about minority communities.

    There is no doubt that Reform has taken that footage out of context as part of a political game and as Farage keeps repeating the same lies, ‘that Scotland will be taken over by Pakistani’s’. But, alarmingly what this episode shows is Nigel Farage is prepared to say and do anything to win votes.
