Farage: hoist once again with his own petard

It is reported that UKIP MEP Nigel Farage is being sued for libel by the organisation Hope Not Hate.  Another UKIP MEP has recently been successfully sued for libel by three Labour MPs, apparently with regard to remarks she made about Muslim paedophile gangs.

I have just looked at the website of Hope Not Hate.  Its front page asserts that it is opposed to what it calls the politics of hate, for which no definition is offered, but it appears to be tolerant of immigration and Islam.

Its front page also states that it will be campaigning against UKIP at the forthcoming general election, while another page details how it used to campaign against the British National Party - until presumably they decided that that party was no longer a serious threat to whatever HNH hold dear.

It is curious, but I cannot recall HNH ever campaigning against UKIP prior to a few years ago.  (If anyone can provide evidence to the contrary, then please leave a comment.)

Also, I cannot recall Nigel Farage - or any other member of UKIP - complaining about HNH when it was campaigning against the BNP. (Again, please leave a comment if you have any evidence to the contrary.)

I have a question for Nigel Farage.  Did he ever speak out against HNH before it began targetting UKIP?  If not, then why not?

Enjoy your libel trial, Nigel.
