No they were not.. If he killed a migrant MP or migrant then i would completely agree with you. But this woman was not a migrant she was a white middle age woman...
EDIT: Farage's views is one of controlled immigration of a point system such as Australia. During his campaign he has infact welcomed skilled migrants from india and other commonwealth countries rather than kill them.

I've had it with Farage.
He' not someone who want's 'controlled immigration', nor does he want immigrants from India, that's just something he says so he seems less racist.
He's an out and out bigot.
Yesterday he published a poster remarkably similar to Nazi propaganda over refugees. That's after claiming things like he wouldn't want to live next to a Romanian and that people speaking other languages on public transport makes him uncomfortable.
There are legitimate concerns about immigration but Farage doesn't want to address them, he wants to exploit them for his own gain.
He's a bigot and racist and as soon as people start recognizing that, rather than going 'he just has genuine concerns', the sooner we can start to tackle the toxic political culture and attitudes we currently have towards politicians.

Farage's views on immigration are moderate and have no racial component. Farage has nothing to do with this incident. You are a revolting opportunist.

...Which is why yesterday he unleashed a poster of Syrian refugees entering Slovenia (with no chance of reaching Britain) behind a slogan saying 'breaking point'.
It's almost identical to Nazi propaganda.
Yet idiots like you just see this as mainstream, perhaps it is mainstream to be a bigot now. Because apparently the biggest problem we have is not bigots making racist remarks but 'pc liberal culture' taking offence to Nazi type propaganda.
Farage is shameless opportunist who's done everthing he can to whip up fear and hatred for immigrants and also now politicians.
It's because of people like him that far-right views are mainstream. It's because of people like him that the brexit campaign has been conducted in such an aggressive and intimidating manner, labelling anyone who wants to remain as horrible bureaucrats wanting to destroy our freedoms etc.
Attacks like this are a direct product of the far right and they can thank the likes of Farage for normalising and mainstreaming their views.

You're putting words into his mouth he has said a few days ago that he wanted less overall immigration but more skilled immigration. You are literally making it up when you say he doesn't want controlled immigration.
Regardless of what Nigel Farage wants he isn't even in government so he cannot implement any laws. If Britain does exit, chances are there will be a snap election and this would be the chance for you to vote in a government (labour, greens, lib dems whatever you want) which reflect your views and would be able to pass laws you want without having to go via the EU.

How does that contradict what I have said? Opposition to Britain taking large numbers of refugees is not just a moderate, but a consensus position. In Britain the belief that Europe has handled the crisis badly is similarly a consensus position. Practically no one is going to stand up and say they think Germany should take another one and a half million this year and that would just be fine. So when Farage says that the continent has overstretched and should stop, he is not saying anything out of the ordinary.
It's almost identical to Nazi propaganda.
Who the hell was immigrating to Slovenia in 1933? Do you even think about what you are writing.
Because apparently the biggest problem we have is not bigots making racist remarks
Where has Farage proposed a race-based immigration policy? (nowhere)
Farage is shameless opportunist who's done everthing he can to whip up fear and hatred for immigrants and also now politicians.
There are many entirely reasonable positions on immigration, and reasonable grounds for opposing immigration, which for a long time have been entirely unrepresented in the Westminster bubble. When you call Farage an opportunist, you mean you disagree with him and would like politicians to have been able to continue colluding against the public by offering them no real choice. When I call you an opportunist I am saying that you are exploiting a murder to browbeat your political opponents into abandoning views that have nothing to do with that murder.
It's because of people like him that far-right views are mainstream.
If far-right views were mainstream those views would be centrist; far-right views can't be mainstream by definition. Farage has made a huge party precisely by offering an anti-immigration platform that many people regard as reasonable. The BNP was never able to become as large as UKIP on an anti-immigrant platform because the public viewed BNP policies like race-based selection and repatriation as unreasonable.
It's because of people like him that the brexit campaign has been conducted in such an aggressive and intimidating manner, labelling anyone who wants to remain as horrible bureaucrats wanting to destroy our freedoms etc.
Oh piss off. The Brexit campaign has not been conducted in an "intimidating" manner. No one has feared for their physical safety because of the Brexit campaign. Arguments about horrible bureaucrats are not more ridiculous, and much less frightening, than arguments about World War III and the collapse of Western civilisation. Remain arguments would provide far more justification for violence if taken seriously - but everyone knows it is just bluster.

Few things are more obvious than the fact that Farage's 'want' of Commonwealth migrants is simply a ploy to make him seem less xenophobic. He doesn't want more Commonwealth migrants, he just wants less EU ones.
How about that poster yesterday of loads of Syrian refugees entering Slovenia, which Farage's party has attached 'breaking point' to? That's Nazi type propaganda. But of course he's not racist though, he's just a genuine guy not seeking to exploit people's concerns.
People like Farage have normalised the views of the hard right. It's now okay to be racist towards immigrants(eg not wanting to live next to Romanians) and claim you just have 'genuine concerns'. It's now acceptable to speak of politicians being evil people who are acting on behalf of a Brussels dictatorship and want to take your job away and give it to an immigrant.
It's now okay to justify violence of the far right as Farage has done, by claiming far right violence is due to no border controls.
It's now okay for English Brexit football fans to chant racist songs to France and Germany. It's now okay for them to taunt and take the piss out of child refugees, making them beg for money and perform dares (such as making a seven year old boy down a beer).
It's that sort of atmosphere which led to the killing. The far right are to blame. Yet as always they refuse to accept responsibility, blaming everyone but themselves.

It's not misleading it's an actual picture which is true. In 2015 between 1-2 Million syrian refugees came into the EU. The sheer numbers have been extremely difficult and actually have been near breaking point to house,feed and do background checks on.

You're a great troll, i'll give you that.
Attacks like yesterday are down to the UKIP culture where it is now acceptable to be racist, where it is okay to say things like you don't want to live next to Romanians and people talking a different language on the train makes you uncomfortable. Where it's okay for Brexity football fans to cause violence in France, chanting racist songs and taunting child refugees.
Farage and UKIP have done all they can to encourage the public not just to disagree with politicians but to hate them and see them as evil and corrupt, to dehumanise them, to call them advocates of a brussels dictatorship and of wanting to hand their jobs to immigrants.
This culture is down to the UKIP far right types who normalise racism and bigotry.
It's funny to see that you're a Nigel fan boy though, never had you pinned down as one.
The far right are entirely to blame for attacks like these, funny how you seek to use a murder to defend the far right...

Those syrian refugees were going to Slovenia with not a chance of reaching the UK.
The picture makes out like it was the UK or that we as a country face millions of refugees. We do not.
It's pure propaganda and no surprise to see Nigel's pathetic fan boys out here in force.

OK, ill bite, what are these "racist songs", where is your proof?
For all other posters I think that is odds on that this poster will provide a link to a song that is not about an race, as usually vile fascist scum like this guy deliberately use the word race, when race is not being mentioned.

And what stops them "refugees" from moving to the UK when they are given EU passports?
So deeply upsetting to see such a young and beautiful woman have her life taken on this manner.
There is a problem with the far right in this country, hopefully now people will wake up and take it seriously to avoid tragedies like this in the future.

Oh do me a favour. What you lot do is define race so narrowly to avoid beinng called negative on a technicality. Racism, bigotry- it's all the same thing.
Disliking a group of people for who they are, whether due to race, ethnicity, Nationality, sexuality etc is all one and the same. It's all bigotry. Just as Farage is, just as the English Brexit fans who chant about dead Germans, commit acts of violence and taunt and humiliate child refugees for their own entertainment.
I take it you're still claiming the attack on jo cox was not by the far right? That despite the fact the guy shouted 'Britain first', has Nazi regalia at his house, has been part of far right groups and bought a manual on building a gun from a neo Nazi group, that he is not far right?
Doesn't surprise me that you like Trump, what a disturbed, lonely and paranoid individual you are.

It makes no sense to move from a country like Germany to the UK.

What about sending your condolences to the victim and her family?
Smh
What about sending your condolences to the victim and her family?

Largely because when the far right rears it's ugly head and commits brutal acts of terrorism you have posters on here claiming the following:
(a) The perpetrator wasn't far right
(b) Okay, the perpetrator was far right but that had nothing to do with the killing, it's because they were 'mentally ill'.
(c) This was a false flag, a stitch up by the lefties
(d) The real cause is the pc liberal thought police culture...
etc etc.
No matter how much proof there has been that the guy was motivated by his far right tendencies, some people see it as their duty to defend the far right and the likes of Farage,
