[QUOTE="an liathroid beag, post: 7178460, member: 18052"] [B]Nigel Farage has caused another storm on Twitter, [URL='https://twitter.com/Nigel_Farage/status/1615742925597560835']saying[/URL] that ‘unlike the English, who say very little, the Irish are speaking out – and protesting on the streets – about the huge number of young, male ‘asylum seekers.’[/B] The tweet was mocked for multiple reasons. One was because of the former UKIP and Brexit Party leader’s historical ignorance towards Ireland. “Nigel “Up the ra!” Farage thinks he knows about Ireland??” [URL='https://twitter.com/PaulBlack2022/status/1615813967309316096']wrote one Twitter user[/URL]. The comment was in reference to Farage’s gaffe in 2021 when he said he was hoaxed into ending a paid-for birthday greeting with the saying ‘”up the ra.” When asked by the [URL='https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/nigel-farage-i-was-hoaxed-into-up-the-ra-birthday-greeting-40939610.html']Belfast Telegraph[/URL] if Farage knew the implication of the expression “up the ra”, a press officer for the GB News presenter said: “I imagine he probably didn’t, otherwise he wouldn’t have said something like that, would he?” The video was posted on social media and attracted a mountain of disbelief that Farage had actually uttered the slogan. One user said: “The IRA would probably say ‘Up Farage!’, because he’s done more harm to the UK than they managed.” [B]‘Were you lying?’[/B] Others pointed to the irony of Farage moaning about today’s migrant crisis when he had made controlling the UK’s borders a leading Brexit pledge. Retweeting the prominent Eurosceptic’s [URL='https://twitter.com/pjmeade/status/1616089205670805504/photo/1']tweet from 2016[/URL] that read “for the sake of our national security, we must control our own borders. We can only do that by leaving the European Union,” another bemused Twitter user [URL='https://twitter.com/pjmeade/status/1616089205670805504']posted[/URL]: “Only those with no self respect blame their inadequacies on foreigners.
