Teribus, I don't know how I can explain this any more clearly. Neither Farage nor I nor anyone else has suggested Brendan Cox had any links with the person that killed his wife.

Now that DtG is the exact opposite of what you state here:

Dave the Gnome - 25 Dec 16 - 08:06 AM

"Do you support him attacking a widower by suggesting he has links to the extremism that killed his wife"

And again here:

Dave the Gnome - 23 Dec 16 - 02:18 PM

"when a public figure abuses his prominent position to tell the world a widower is linked to the very thing his wife was fighting against when she was murdered"

At NO POINT AT ALL has Farage EVER told the world that - and you damn well know it.

"The day after Cox died, 17 June 2016, Brendan Cox set up a GoFundMe page named "Jo Cox's Fund" in aid of three charities which he described as "closest to her heart": the Royal Voluntary Service, Hope not Hate, and the White Helmets, a Syrian civil defence group."

See any connection there between Brendan Cox, purportedly Jo Cox, and the militant campaigning group "Hope not Hate"? That is the "Hope not Hate" group that according to Dan Hodges, uses "dirty, underhand, low down, unscrupulous" tactics in their efforts to crush political opponents.

How about this for a piece of gross misrepresentation from Nick Lowles writing in the Guardian:

When Nigel Farage used a radio interview this week to publicly attack Brendan Cox, husband of the murdered Labour MP Jo Cox, he lashed out in the most unbelievable way. Just six months after Jo was murdered by neo-Nazi Thomas Mair, the former Ukip leader attempted to pin the extremist tag on Brendan Cox because of his association with the organisation I head, Hope not Hate.

Here again is what Nigel Farage said:

"Well, he would know more about extremists than me, wouldn't he. He backs organisations like Hope Not Hate, who masquerade as being lovely and peaceful, but actually pursue violent and very undemocratic means." - Reported words of Farage

It is undeniable that Brendan Cox did provide financial backing to "Hope not Hate" - matter of audited record.

It is not Brendan Cox who is being tarred with the "extremist" label - it is "Hope not Hate" who Farage views as being "extremist".
