		</div><p>Nigel Farage has rejected suggestions he bears some responsibility for an apparent spike in race hate after the Brexit vote, and claimed he had &#8220;destroyed&#8221; the far-right in Britain.</p>
<p>Sporting a newly-grown bushy moustache, Mr Farage claimed UKIP won over protest voters who previously backed the &#8220;genuinely anti-Jew, anti-Black&#8221; British National Party (BNP).</p>
<p>The former UKIP leader was accused of stooping to racist imagery during the referendum campaign with the infamous &#8220;Breaking Point&#8221; poster depicting streams of brown-skinned refugees fleeing to the EU.</p>
<p>A surge in reports of xenophobic and racist hate crime following the June 23 vote prompted the new Government in the UK to launch a new action plan to deal with it, which includes an assessment of the police response by watchdogs.</p>
<p>But Mr Farage rejected the idea that some of the rhetoric of the Brexit campaign may have contributed to the spike in incidents.</p>
<p>He told Sam Delaney&#8217;s News Thing on RT UK: &#8220;Let&#8217;s just be fair; there were some horrendous things said on both sides &#8211; there were some on the Brexit side who hurled racist abuse at Polish people or whatever&#8230; Yeah, it happened, right.</p>
<p>&#8220;Equally, there were some on the Remain side who said insults and threats through social media to those who were prominent on the Brexit side.</p>
<p>&#8220;But let me say this to you: do I feel responsible for people saying extreme things? Quite the reverse.</p>
<p>&#8220;I destroyed the British National Party &#8211; we had a far-right party in this country who genuinely were anti-Jew, anti-Black, all of those things, and I came along, and said to their voters, if you&#8217;re holding your nose and voting for this party as a protest, don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>&#8220;Come and vote for me &#8211; I&#8217;m not against anybody, I just want us to start putting British people first, and I, almost single-handedly, destroyed the far-right in British politics.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added: &#8220;If I hadn&#8217;t been around, and done what I&#8217;d done, that strain of opinion would&#8217;ve been represented by (former BNP leader) Nick Griffin, and the BNP, and would genuinely have been motivated by hate. I&#8217;m not motivated by that, I&#8217;m not against anybody.&#8221;</p>

Nigel Farage has the biggest balls in British politics and he is a hero. Why was he not knighted by our Queen, beats me?
Nigel Farage is a legend and should be respected in this country. Thank you Nigel for your services to Britain.
We need Nigel Farage back to fight to trigger article 50. I think Theresa May will do the dirty on us.
I wonder why this man has not got any honors in this country after the Cameron’s hair stylist got one.
