Green Party councillor Mothin Ali responded to Nigel Farage’s claim that the disorder in Harehills in Leeds on Thursday was the ‘politics of the sub-continent’ saying:
“Farage is in America commenting about a community he knows nothing about.
“As he has done time and time again he seeks to use tensions to further societal division for his own political gain.
“I ask him politely, to leave us alone as we undertake the work needed to bring our community back together.
“Nigel, use your voice to bring the country together, spread the idea of unity and we’ll all be the better for it, instead of trying to divide it”
