Nigel Farage was surrounded by security guards as he delivered an election rally speech to 450 enthusiastic supporters last night, declaring: ‘I will not back down. I will not give in to the mob.’
Speaking at the Victory Bar on Great Yarmouth racecourse, the Reform UK leader assured his fans that he would continue campaigning despite recent attacks. He acknowledged the need to adjust his tactics to minimize the risk of future incidents.
Farage’s security team was out in full force at the rally following an incident where wet cement was thrown at him during a bus tour in Barnsley. This came on the heels of a previous attack where he had a milkshake thrown at him in Clacton-on-Sea.
Despite the security measures, Farage remained committed to engaging with the public, emphasizing the importance of peaceful discourse in a democracy. He expressed concern over the growing trend of violence in political interactions and called for stricter consequences for those responsible.
The rally concluded with Farage reiterating his dedication to Reform UK’s policies and his promise to continue campaigning without giving in to intimidation. The crowd responded with resounding support for their leader.
