Nigel Farage was this week forced into a humiliating legal climbdown, when he undertook in a settlement never to repeat false claims that the anti-racism charity and campaign group that I run, Hope Not Hate, pursued “violent and undemocratic means”.
Agreeing never to encourage anyone else to repeat this statement either, Farage has been made accountable for damaging comments that he made on LBC radio on 21 December last year during an argument about statements made over Twitter by Brendan Cox, widower of MP Jo Cox.
Farage in his own inimitable way Is now attempting to engage in spin to his own supporters about the result, but the fact is that he lost. He is facing legal costs likely to be in excess of £100,000.
