An update from 10 March this year states:"The relationship has been below commercial criteria for some time and upon review of Nigel's past public profile and connections, the perceived risks for the future weighed against the benefit of retention the decision was taken to exit upon repayment of an existing mortgage."Financial crime - due to"alleged Russia connections";
"At best he is seen as xenophobic and pandering to racists, and at worst, he is seen as xenophobic and racist.", adding that he was"shocked with the vitriol that was within it". His tweets from September last year about violence in Leicester are also mentioned. In them he blames"lawmakers who promoted multiculturalism and diversity" and says:"Our politicians have done this to our great country".
Powell's Rivers Of Blood speech in 1968 heavily criticised mass immigration and opposed the Race Relations Bill. It also said he held"publicly professed racist and fascist views" and that he"once marched through a Sussex village singing Hitler Youth songs".Antisemitic tropesA Guardian article from last year highlights criticism of Mr Farage's description of Tory minister Grant Shapps as a"globalist".
He said they are paid less because they are"simply worth far less than many of their male counterparts". The notes claim he has"regularly been seen to be pro-Russia/pro-Putin" and that"even following the invasion, he did not criticise Putin but instead blamed the EU and NATO".But it lists several examples that merited investigation.
