Leader of the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage has slammed Black Lives Matter as a “dangerous, Marxist organisation” hellbent on causing anarchy in the United Kingdom.
He stated this in a video shared on his YouTube channel.
He lamented that the Boris J0hnson-led UK government has been keeping near-silent and the general society pursuing a policy of appeasement as anarchists denigrated treasured monuments and attacked law enforcement agents without repercussion.
Farage said he was “utterly appalled” at the level of destruction wreaked by the so-called protesters backed by the likes of George Soros, whose aim appears to be to trigger a Leninist revolution as seen in Russia in 1917.
“[T]he tearing down of the Edward Colston statue in Bristol… for the second day in a row, Winston Churchill’s statue in Parliament Square being defaced… a mob around the statue screaming ‘Churchill was a racist’; we saw another assault on the Cenotaph, this time with some yob climbing up there and trying to set fire with a cigarette lighter to the Union Flag — these were just some of the highlights from what happened in the United Kingdom,” the former leader of the UK Independence Party said.
He also had harsh words for the BBC which he said portrayed the protesters as peaceful despite a wave of violence and ugly incidents that left at least 50 police officers injured, some seriously.
Farage explained, “And yet, my argument here isn’t against equality of opportunity.
“It’s not to say there aren’t still things in society that aren’t perfectly fair — but it is to say this, and to say it very, very clearly: this Black Lives Matter movement is a dangerous, Marxist organisation, hell-bent on anarchy, and we need to wake up, get some facts into our heads, and understand what it is we’re fighting.”

The veteran campaigner said it was clear that the campaigners were after “defunding of the police”, both in the United States and the UK as well.
“They’re aiming at a radical redistribution of wealth, they’re hinting at assets being taken from private companies and put into the hands of workers — I mean, look, this is a little bit like the 1917 Lenin manifesto which saw the communist revolution in Russia,” Farage said.
He added, “That’s the kind of thing that we’re dealing with here, and it’s very heavily funded — they’re not short of money; they’ve got some big backers, Soros, others… who want to fundamentally overturn the norms of society as we see them today.”
“It’s not about equality of opportunity, it’s about an organisation that is Hell-bent on changing society and is prepared to use violence and anarchy to do so.”
