Conspiracy Tropes
Globalists / Global Bankers / Coded Slur
Use of "globalist" as a coded term, including when directed at Jewish figures like Grant Shapps.
The Allegation
Farage used "globalists"/"global bankers" to criticise elites eroding sovereignty, applying it to figures like Grant Shapps (Jewish, 2022) and COVID agendas. Jewish groups condemned it as coded slur; Coutts dossier highlighted patterns.
Why This Is Antisemitic
"Globalists" stems from Nazi "rootless cosmopolitans," accusing Jews of disloyalty to nations, prioritising international interests (dual loyalty trope). Originating in 1930s propaganda portraying Jews as threats to national purity, it evolved post-Holocaust into alt-right codes like "cultural Marxism." With "bankers," it links to economic antisemitism, fuelling violence by implying Jewish control.
