Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Reform Party and local Press
IN our Borough, the Haringey Community Press (HCP) performs an important function, quite apart from a free Press generally being a vital part of any functioning democracy, local or national.
The current Haringey Council Leader has not always been happy with HCP's independent reporting, such as this earlier spat about housing repairs:
There is no suggestion that the Leader sought to ban "this outlet". However in Nottingham, Farage's Reform Party has gone much further than merely criticising a press report.
Nottinghamshire Live is part of the same Local Democracy Reporting Service as HCP.
The actions of the Reform Party Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council—like a few other UK politicians—are consistent with or seem to copy, the relentless abuse of the Press and other US media, by the proto-fascist on the other side of the pond.

… Farage flirted with the Hitler youth when he was young.
—could this mean admired or envied, rather than meaning, was contemporaneous with?

The allegation appears to be that Farage and others, as schoolboys in the CCF, publicly sang songs associated with the Hitler Youth, though obviously well after WWII had ended. Farage is said to have denied it, on the grounds of not knowing the words. There are also allegations about his publicly-expressed fascistic/racist views whilst at school. But I suspect you knew this already….

I've read that as a schoolboy, Nigel Farage noticed (appreciated? enjoyed?) that his initials were the same as those of the National Front.
Of course, those on the white-right of politics are happy to tolerate those with darker skin, as long they share sufficiently Right Wing views. One of the most conservative Members of the US Supreme Court is the compromised and controversial—if not corrupted—Clarence Thomas.
