“Don’t speculate!” means “shut up and accept the establishment narrative!”.

As we learn Ann’s murder WAS politically motivated, The Times has revealed the scale of the threat to Nigel’s life. Nigel has received 1,577 threats since February this year. Including 597 death threats. The most persistent individual targeting Farage sent 6 directed threats to him on Facebook between June 24 and July 6, including a message telling him to “get the f*** out of Wales before I just kill Nigel Farage … you can die at any f***ing moment.” Another individual posted on X last month saying: “Execute the striking Traitor Nigel Farage. TODAY,” followed by two further escalating posts within eight hours. A third individual wrote on X: “Can someone shoot Nigel Farage? Make him a self-fulfilling prophecy?” All the ‘journalists’ and MPs who attack him for accepting a gift to fund his security should hang their heads in shame. The government still provides him with no security. They did for a short while after the general election. Then - astonishingly - they cut it by 75% within weeks of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and sent David Lammy out to say Nigel “flirted with the Hitler Youth”. Reform stepped in to provide him with a detail of the original size, appropriate to the enormous threat. The establishment doesn’t want Nigel to have the required security for a reason. They incite violence against him for a reason. It’s exactly what it looks like.
