Hope Not Hate threatens legal action against Nigel Farage over ‘extremist’ slur
Hope Not Hate has confirmed it has written to Nigel Farage, demanding that he retract his claim that the organisation, and those like it, “masquerade as being lovely and peaceful but actually pursue violent and very undemocratic means”.
Mr Farage made the statement in an interview on LBC Radio, after being challenged on his claim that terrorist attacks on Germany are Angela Merkel’s legacy.
Now Nick Lowles of Hope Not Hate has tweeted this:
.@hopenothate has just sent Nigel Farage a legal letter demanding his retracts and apologises or else we will start legal action.

Now it is Mr Farage’s turn to respond.
What will he do?

Empty threat they would lose in a court case because the evidence is that they are a nasty group.
That is not true.
Show me the evidence.
I haven’t seen a member of HnH, just for instance, stabbing an MP and then shooting her in broad daylight in the middle of the street. A member of Britain First, which formally endorsed UKIP, has been jailed for precisely that.
