The problem is (partly) the language we use. I do not respect Farage and think he is a bad thing for the country. However I don't think he is a fascist and he is entitled to use the political system. When we call people fascists or traitors and present them as an existential threat then we end up legitimatising attacks on them.
People need to calm down.
At the same time I don't want to go overboard. Egging has been around for a while without leading to escalation, he just need to be careful it doesn't start.
