Nigel Farage has said he is part of a “similar phenomenon” to the misogynist influencer Andrew Tate, as he claimed that there were forces in society trying to “stop young men from being young men”.
The Reform UK leader used the last day of campaigning before the general election to appear alongside Derek Chisora, the controversial boxer and Reform UK supporter, in a boxing gym in Clacton, where Farage is making his eighth bid to be elected as an MP.
Farage used the visit to speak about what he described as the feelings of “emasculation” among young men, saying: “Look at the football. You know, they’re told: Go to Germany. Please don’t drink more than two pints of beer. You what? Don’t chant at the football matches. You what? Oh, and don’t tell jokes that might offend the Germans. I mean, come on. We are trying to stop young men being young men.
“That’s why Tate got the following he got. So maybe I’m part of a similar phenomenon,” he said. 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.

The Reform UK leader’s comments come against the backdrop of concerns about the rise of role models and influencers associated with a model of toxic masculinity.
A poll of 200 people by JLP found earlier this week that Reform UK was the top choice of political party among 23% of those aged 16 to 17. However, among young men it was on level pegging with Labour, on 35%.

Farage defended his appearance alongside Chisora, who was given a 12-week suspended prison sentence in 2010 after being found guilty of assaulting his then girlfriend.
He’s beyond parody. His target demographic would go “good ol’ Nige” if he started a speech “say what you like about Hitler, but…”
These Fascist and Sexist nutbags are all on another level.
Why is anyone giving them any time at all!?
As an old fart myself (but not officially a boomer, too young for that), I’m dismayed at the amount of young people swallowing this reactionary crap. Do young men really think that part of being a man is trafficking humans and behaving like louts in other countries?
Unfortunately it’s not just young men. The alt right machinery recruits young women too. Just less of them as it a bit of turkeys voting for Christmas.
He is indeed part of the same phenomenon as known misogynistic rapist and people trafficker, Andrew Tate.
Funny how Farage is suddenly okay with people trafficking, though.
A surprising degree of self-awareness from the slimy toad.
he is similar to tate in theyre both cunts
who both dont work a day in their lives but get paid lots of money to say dumb stuff on twitter
“a man is judged by the company he keeps” or cucks for in this case
I’m not sure you know what that word means
I wish I didn’t. Manosphere bilge.
Idk I’d be a lot more judgmental of a man who cucks someone I like and respect than someone who cucks someone like Farage or Tate
It’s not really a question of cucking Tate, it’s more a case of freeing women from him and his pimp followers.
And why are they raging so much at women? Self-loathing at their own steroid-induced impotence? Inability to comprehend normal human emotional connection? Angry losers.
