What are the British press finally hounding Farage for what has been known for years?

He's always had the veil of deniability by staying just the right side of accusations - the current batch don't have any veil on them at all though.
So he's following the Trumpian playbook of denial => play down => everyone does it etc

The dog whistle has become an alarm whistle

Whether it moves the voters remains to be seen

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

The veil was very thin to begin with but now it's pretty much transparent. There is also a world of difference between comedy that has since been deemed unacceptable and saying Hitler was right to gas the Jews to a Jew, which has never been right in any context.
