UK commentator Nigel Farage clashes with Aussie left wing protester outside CPAC in Sydney

British political commentator Nigel Farage has been labeled a ‘far-right scum’ in an explosive clash with a left-wing protester following a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Sydney.

Farage, who is best known as the leader of Britain’s pro-Brexit UKIP party, was confronted by an irate young man after the conference on Saturday afternoon.

The man, who wore a black face mask, accused Mr Farage of being “racist, Islamophobic and anti-queer,” while telling him that “fascists are not welcome here.”

The commentator asked the man to define fascism before the man replied “far right scum like you.”

The pair argued for a few minutes, with both struggling to get their point across as they talked over each other.

“People like you who talk about discrimination, who talk about prejudice, really you are the ones with prejudice,” Mr Farage told the young man.

“You can’t argue with me without swearing and insulting.”

He then accused the young man of not having a fight and asked him bluntly ‘are you morally superior?’

“I respect your right to have a different opinion, but you can’t debate,” Farage said.

The young man then replied that he was not there to debate, but to protest.

“I think you should leave Sydney!” he yelled as the commentator walked away, before chanting “racist fanatics, anti-queer, fascists are not welcome here.”

Farage laughed as he walked away, told the man he needed “real mental help,” and shared footage of the bizarre collision on his Twitter account.

“Just had a heated verbal altercation with this leftist protester. He was talking nonsense!’ he tweeted.

Mr Farage had previously targeted former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, calling him a “ruthless coward” and saying: Australian Conservative politicians had shown ‘a total lack of courage’ in recent years.

The former Liberal Prime Minister, Mr Morrison, was ‘bullied’ for signing the UN COP 26 targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the meeting of world leaders to be held in Glasgow at the end of 2021, Mr Farage said.

‘Come on COP 26 what was that about?’ he told Daily Mail Australia.

“You show up and you get bullied with other world leaders to commit your country to something with other world leaders without a proper debate, if that’s not cowardly, then what is?”

Farage said he needed “the odd man out on the world stage.”

“It’s amazing time and again on the global stage how individual leaders are bullied into positions they didn’t really want.”

He said COP 26 was ‘evidence’, Mr Morrison a ‘coward’.

Farage said he didn’t think Morrison was alone and called a lack of courage on the part of the party he led, the Liberals, and their coalition partners the Nationals.

“They think, ‘What we’ll do is play the Labor lite game, what we’ll do is get those Teal votes back’ — but they’re not coming back,” Farage said.

The Teals are the parliamentarians of climate activists who claimed a number of liberal seats in affluent areas in the last federal election.

Mr Farage said it is common practice among Conservative politicians around the world, including in his own country under former Conservative Party Prime Minister Boris Johnson, to move towards ‘social-democratic centralism’.

“It’s a very comfortable place to be because you’ll be invited to all the nice dinners and life won’t be hard,” said Mr Farage.

“What they have to do is say, ‘What we’re actually going to do is take a moral stance, a strong moral stance and on many, many of these cultural issues.'”

“Yes, we will be mistreated, there will be protesters and yes, people will say horrible things on Twitter, but that’s the courage I’m talking about.”

He admitted that many did not have the ‘qualities’ to display such courage, but if they did there would be an electoral reward.

“I believe and what I’ve seen in the western world is conservative leaders doing that (showing courage) – guess what they’re winning the election,” he said.

Mr Farage addressed a friendly crowd on Saturday afternoon, who gathered to attend the two-day Conservative CPAC Forum at the Darling Harbor International Convention Center in Sydney.

Police at one point had to separate CPAC visitors and media representatives who had walked into the rally and were met with hostility.

Protesters also ran to get through a rear entrance to downtown, but were stopped by police who again led them away as they attempted to march into the building’s main entrance and turn “F**k off fascists.”
