Nigel Farage urges minister to apologise for Jimmy Savile online safety claim
Nigel Farage opposed the government’s online security law and called on the technology secretary Peter Kyle to “do the right thing and apologize” after claiming that the reform of the British leader was with sex criminals like Jimmy Savile.
Reform, arguing that he did not protect children and suppressed the free speech, said he would scrape the new law.
Kyle Sky News said: “If people like Jimmy Savile live today, do not make mistakes, online would continue their crimes – and Nigel Farage next to them.”
Farage said that his reform colleague Zia Yusuf was “one of the most terrible things I’ve ever seen in my political life.”
Kyle refused to withdraw after Farage’s criticism on Social Media: “If you want to overthrow the online security law, you are with the predators. It’s so simple.”
It was a BBC TV personality that offers shows like Savile, Top of The Pops and Jim, but after his death, he was one of the most productive sexual predators of England using his famous status to target children and young people.
Last week, new online security rules entered into force to prevent children from seeing harmful or inappropriate content.
Among the measures are to ensure that technology firms have more strict controls for people who reach age limited content and to make quick operations when they are identified as harmful content.
The fact that the rules are not complied with, whichever is larger, can see companies that are fined up to 18 million pounds of the company’s turnover or up to 10%.
Age verification measures provide a sharp increase in the numbers that hide the user’s position online and make it possible to avoid age controls.
“It is much worse to send all these children to VPNs, and sends them to the dark network where real dangers lie.”
The authority added that one of the first actions of the Reform in the government would be to abolish the Online Security Law.
When asked what to replace the UK, Farage said that his party was not a “perfect answer”, but “he has more access to some of his best technology brains, not just in the country,” and “a much better job”.
Speaking with Sky News, Kyle accepted the rules “some people find their way”, but the government would not ban VPNs, he said.
The measures “children’s publications to stop the harmful content of the big, giant, unprecedented step,” he said.
“If we can take a big step, 70, 80, perhaps when it comes to stopping the harmful content entering the child feeds, maybe 90% forward – I will bank it to the bank, here’s a good day.
“The remaining 10% – we will continue to understand when going forward.
“I see that Nigel Farage says that he will overthrow these laws.
“There are people with excessive pornographs outside, sell hate, sell violence – Nigel Farage next to them.
“If people like Jimmy Savile were alive today, do not make mistakes if they live online online – and Nigel Farage is with them.”
“This is one of the most ugly and disgusting things that a politician says I can remember in the political arena, and this is a very high bar.
The Labor Party claimed that “there is no idea about how the internet works, and that this action will make children less safe despite his name”.
“They are deeply hunger about child safety and leveling that Jimmy Savile humiliated the victims of Jimmy Savile.”
