Wanted: £50,000 for Farage libel fight

ANTI-RACISM group Hope Not Hate needs to raise £50,000 by Friday to fund its legal case against former Ukip leader Nigel Farage.

A hearing is due at the High Court on November 16 and 17 after Mr Farage made hate-filled smears which labelled the group “violent and undemocratic.”

His comments came in an LBC radio interview last December during which he also tried to link Brendan Cox, husband of the murdered MP Jo Cox and a supporter of the group, with extremists.
