Farage says it’s best not to speculate – as he does just that, having travelled to the crime scene to cash in on some publicity like some kind of ghoul.
Take a peek at X and you’ll see post after post using the probable murder of a pensioner as a cynical platform for histrionic rage and vicious, hate-filled, hypocritical accusations blaming British progressives – because the suspect is white and not a migrant – as they play the victims of supposed left-wing incitement merely for having their far-right intolerance called out.
— ‘The police statement suggesting there was no political motivation follows an intervention from Nigel Farage … who travelled to Widdecombe’s address when news of her death broke.
Speaking to journalists on Saturday, he said: “From what I can see of it, from what I make out, this was premeditated murder. Whether it was politically motivated, whether it was someone with a grudge … I don’t think it pays at this time to speculate.”’
