Nigel Farage's Car Sabotaged After Death Threats, Police Confirm "Foul Play"

Outspoken UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who has received numerous death threats during his tenure as a European parliamentarian, spoke for the first time last night about being the victim of an assassination attempt after his car was sabotaged, causing a terrifying motorway crash. As The Daily Mail reports, Farage careered off a French road after a wheel on his Volvo came loose while he was driving from Brussels back to his home in Kent. When the police arrived at the scene, they told him that the nuts on all of the wheels had been deliberately unscrewed...

The "frightening" incident which took place in October, near Dunkirk, followed a series of poisonous feuds within his party over recent years, both in London and in the European Parliament, where he sits as an MEP.

As The Daily Mail reports, when the emergency services arrived, they told a shaken Mr Farage that he had been the victim of a malicious act.

"The French police looked at it and said that sometimes nuts on one wheel can come a bit loose – but not on all four," Mr Farage said.

 

"It was the middle of bloody nowhere, and I was caught in a very bad position...

 

There was a huge section of roadworks with cars going back and forth on the same side of the carriageway. I suddenly realised I was losing steering but there was no hard shoulder to pull on to.

 

I slowed down, put the hazards on and then one of the wheels came off. I jumped over the wall as quickly as I bloody well could to get away from lorries and everything."

 

When he was asked who he thought might have been responsible, Mr Farage replied: "I haven't got a clue. Quite frankly, the way my life's been over the past two-and-a-half years, nothing surprises me."

Mr. Farage said he had not asked police to pursue the investigation because he didn’t want to ‘make anything of it’. When asked if he had received death threats, Mr Farage said: "Of course. It’s not a particularly easy game, this."

 

He added: "The French police and mechanics looked at it but I have made no formal report in this country. The mechanics were absolutely certain of [foul play] but I have decided to take no further action."

Mr Farage frequently drives himself to his offices in the parliament buildings from Kent because he says it is the easiest way to juggle his ‘mad’ schedule. For security reasons, Mr Farage would not say where he parks his vehicle in Brussels.

No. It is, "You really can't put anything past the NWO capitalist maniacs, and what they are willing to do to retain their unlawful powers."

Fixed it for you, west village idiot.

Cars are minor league.

 

They've been sabotaging airplanes for nearly as long as they have been flying.

 

The Watergate plane crash, the JFK Jr. crash, Ron Brown, SEAL Team 6, and so many others.

Just curious as to why they would want to kill JFK Jr. He was running some second rate magazine similar to GQ. He wasn't even involved in politics yet.

Jr would have secured the entire women's vote because they are not as shallow as men, pussified men would have voted for him because they want to please the women because women are liberated from the stigma of being whiney bitches.

Jr was an idiot, flying his family around in a hot rod airplane at night in bad weather without enough flight experience or instrument rating.

My dear God...this is getting terrible.

Why is police not investigating an attempted murder? That is not something people can choose to ignore, since any serious crime needs to be investigated and prosecuted.

I am glad, mr Farage is well and safe.

It's too bad that he wasn't killed because he is a Nazi nutcase who opposes immigration to the UK.  Anyone who opposes immigration is a sick and deranged lunatic who the government should properly deal with.

Mr Farage is not the bloke you lot have been led to believe, and this bollocks happened in October, its fucking January, think about it.

Google, youtube, whatever you like and dont fucking take my word for it, what this boyo and his second in command had to say about child abuse at the highest levels of public life, right here in Blighty.

You have been duped, all of you.

You want fucking justice?  Dole the cunt owt yourself.  Learn from history rather than repeating it for fucks sake.

Like Trump, he appeals to a certain demographic.

I think some of what both say makes sense, but I wouldn't want either of them (or anyone else, if I could avoid it) having any say in what I do, so long as I'm not damaging anyone else.

I did  wonder about the timing, too.

To avoid the mistakes of history, you have to have read some, and not just what you are supposed to have read.

Few make the effort.

The cancer thing also happened 30 years ago. If you are male and are going to get cancer, pray it is testicular cancer as it has the highest survival rate of all cancers affecting males (96%). NHS nearly killed me? Fucking drama queen.

Notice the royals have a habit of marrying 'commoners'?

They've learned that in-breeding is not a good thing.

Di was a 'brood mare' from an 'acceptable' lineage. Just far enough away to keep the small gene pond somewhat healthy.

Exactly the same thing happened to me in Poland over the summer, all four alloy wheels had the bolts loosened. The tow truck that came out said it was his second call of the day for the same problem.

Alloy wheel theft is a big problem in central Europe. Thieves try to get the wheels off but can't undo the locking wheel nut. They can't be bothered to do the wheels nuts up again afterwards.

Sorry Nige, this one might NOT be a conspiracy.

One night in Newark will teach you this trick:

1. Jack up car. (Optional)

2. Apply +/- 24" long section of steel pipe 'just the right diameter' over locking nut.

3. Stomp opposite end of said pipe with your new Timberlands.

4. Remove tire and wheel assembly.

5. Sell for cash and enjoy your EBT card bennies.

Look at the bright side, if a 2nd assassination attempt is made, we all know who did it lol.

The E.U. fraud govt must really want to sweep this noise maker under the carpet.... you know for calling the entire sham into question everyday in such a public setting.

The E.U. " Governing Bodies " (if you want to call them that )obviously want this man dead, its discouraging they tried to doit in such a distasteful way, especially when the E.U. is on the verge of collapse anyway (obviously there wont be an "E.U." in 10 - 20 years the way things are going)... they should quit while they are ahead and retire into their bunker mansions before the masses get even more suspicious of them.

A pity that Farange didn't have spy cameras and other security devices on his car.  The perpetrator might have been caught.  And if the perpetrator had ties to the Establishment, well, that would have cause a political upheaval.
