Farage said Andrew Tate was 'important voice' for men in podcast interview

Nigel Farage has praised the misogynist influencer Andrew Tate for being an “important voice” for the emasculated and giving boys “perhaps a bit of confidence at school” in online interviews that appear to be aimed at young men over the past year.

The Reform UK leader spoke in favour of Tate for defending “male culture” in a Strike It Big podcast that aired in February, while acknowledging that the influencer had gone “over the top” and elsewhere that he had said some “pretty horrible” things.

Since December 2022, Tate has been facing charges in Romania of human trafficking, rape, and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, which he denies.

“Tate was a very important voice for an emasculated … you three guys, you are all 25, you are all kind of being told you can’t be blokes, you can’t do laddish, fun, bloke things … That’s almost what you’re being told. That masculinity is something we should look down upon, something we should frown upon. It’s like the men are becoming feminine and the women are becoming masculine and it’s a bit difficult to tell these days who’s what.

“And Tate fed into that by saying, ‘Hang on, what’s wrong with being a bloke? What’s wrong in male culture? What’s wrong in male humour?’ He fed into those things. His was a campaign of raising awareness, his was a campaign of giving people perhaps a bit of confidence at school or whatever it was to speak up …”

Farage, like Tate, is misogynist scum. He shouldn't be allowed to forget his support of Tate by any interviewer or Question Time audience.

1. White males are so victimized and powerless.

For the history of the human race they have been on the bottom of the power heap.

2. I recall an online game that was something like "Kick Farage Out of Kent".

That was fun while it lasted. Sorry that he's making a comeback, he hopes.

4. Say what you will about Bill Maher, he put Andrew Tate in his place...

...in the Father's Day new rule. Farage should take a listen.

5. Yes. this is truly horrible

And can't be explained as his usual pandering to elderly Little Englanders, most of whom won't have heard of Tate. He is now also pandering to young fascists, and/or just is a fascist.

6. If Farage genuinely cared about young people

He would have stood somewhere other than Clacton, an area that pretty much specialises in retirement with demographics heavily slanted against the under 60's.

You do see some of his fan club claim that he's appealling to the young as being someone who fits in with Tate's nonsense, but that can easily be rebutted by pointing out that he's chosen to stand in a constituency that is often very off putting to young people.

And that's before we even get to the meat and drink if the rotten messages being put out there!
