Reform UK - A symptom of all that is wrong?

[President Merkin]

Uh huh and what about the other guy. And George Lilley and Ray Saint and Malcolm cupis and Emmett Jenner and ian Gribbin and I could go on. At what point do you guys accept you have a neanderthal problem?

If you’re saying that some very undesirable racists have been attracted to Reform you’re right. They’ll obviously be attracted to a right leaning party. That doesn’t make the rest of the party rotten.

Fascinating. I think it’s fairly obvious that he was acting.

The question is why.

What a bizarre development

They will also obviously be attracted to a party which sets out to court racists and xenophobes. I don't know why supporters are bothering to deny it, bigots are allowed a vote too, why should a party just for them have to pretend that it isn't? If they aren't ashamed of what they are they should come out and say it.

Loads of words.

Still can't call it out directly.

Curios.

Defo acting, that’s plain to see and hear. Dirty business politics and here we see ‘dirty’ being played out.

As in a collection of bizarre or eccentric little nick-nacks?

So just to clarify, has any member of Reform called for anyone to be shot yet?

Yep, the candidate for Southend East, Leslie Lilley.

I think "slaughter" is a little more extreme than "shot".

Still, must be one in every party

Perhaps you could post evidence that Reform ‘sets out to court racists and xenophobes’?

Are all the others acting too??

[ChocolateFrog]

So Channel 4 paid an actor to pretend to be a Reform member so they could record him saying racist stuff.



You guys.

Own it.

Whats wrong with mine?

No, I just find it hard to believe that anyone who has been following this can't see through the Reform strategy and thinks it's an accident that they attract racists and xenophobes when they talk about Muslims, immigrants, and "British values" in the way that they have been doing. I mean, if that's how you feel, just own it. What are you scared of?

[Mr Penguin]

Maybe they don't set out to but they do attract those people for whatever reason. It's a very new party without the stability from depth and breadth of coalitions that the main parties have developed over time so you do have to wonder where this party is going given who it attracts.

At what point would the Reform voters on here change their minds?
