A Reform UK activist in the constituency where Nigel Farage is standing has been secretly filmed making extremely racist comments about Rishi Sunak, as well as using Islamophobic and other offensive language.
Farage said he was “dismayed” by the views expressed by Andrew Parker, a Reform canvasser, who was filmed as part of an undercover investigation by Channel 4 News.
The channel also secretly filmed George Jones, a longtime party activist who organises events for Farage, making homophobic comments, calling the Pride flag “removed” and LGBT people “nonces”.
The emergence of the footage, filming of which concluded last week, comes on the same day that Reform dropped an election candidate in another seat, after the Guardian informed the party that Raymond Saint had been on a list of members of the British National party.
That's like shooting fish in a barrel. A harder challenge would be to find someone in Reform who isn't awful.
“We’re fucking kicking all the Muslims out of the mosques and turning them into Wetherspoon’s.”
What a silly billy. You can’t turn Muslims into Wetherspoons.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more of this. The extreme parties (both left and right) tend to attract the even more extreme to their banner.
The winners have to tread a careful path between placating their members and appealing to the general populace. I think this is one of the reasons why Labour will win, the centre ground is where the leaders of our country should be, people tend to want "normality" what ever that is.
I also think we should have PR instead of FPTP so the extremes at least get a voice in parliament rather than throwing bricks from the sidelines.
Which are the extreme left parties? Especially the one with members who make extremely racist and homophobic remarks?
Ah yes, the reformist, homophobic, climate skeptical, patriotic socialist party. Obviously I am describing a modern extreme left party, and not a certain german party during the 1920's.
