      >In response to a comment which asked: “[Adolf] Hitler had an (opinion) too; did he deserve to die?”, Cooper said: “I don’t agree with him murdering innocent people. But the Hallocaust (sic) is a hoax. There wasn’t (sic) even 6 million Jews in Europe at the time. Propaganda.”

      Oh yes, this definitely sounds like a deep thinker we want in our local government. Good job everyone.

      Maybe now people will understand why there was such a massive smear/anti Green campaign the last couple of weeks and why Farage just hid.

      transformation to USA almost complete.  now need a crony clown as the PM to make it 100%

    5. According_Parfait680 on

      Noooo surely only Jewish members of left wing parties and their Islamiat co-conspirators can be antisemites??

    6. ItsAMangoFandango on

      God you can’t even deny the Holocaust anymore without the woke looney left calling you a Nazi

    7. Weak-Fly-6540 on

      Like the other racists and bigots, watch Reform quietly suspend them after being elected. If at all.

      An utter stain on politics. He’s not the only one.

    8. Agreeable_Falcon1044 on

      Reform don’t get 10% of their candidates past the first 3 months, so expect many resignations incoming

    10. Barca-Dam on

      Antisemitism only works as an attack if it’s against the left. I thought that was pretty obvious

    11. Prestigious_Clock865 on

      And this sub plus the British media/political establishment will be in appropriate uproar about this obvious display of antisemitism any minute now… any minute… ohh sorry, it wasn’t an anti genocide march or criticism of Israel so this antisemitism we don’t take seriously in this country, seemingly

    12. 360Saturn on

      Nice to see them investigating other party candidates for antisemitism **after** all the votes have already been cast. Great vetting there /s

    14. Spamgrenade on

      Anyone want to tell me that the British people are concerned about antisemitism?

    15. Rekyht on

      Almost like the media just didn’t report on these issues and the right wing billionaires ensure this stuff will never touch peoples algorithms. I don’t see how you fight against it when any party that is anti-status quo to even a tiny degree will be completely deplatformed by the establishment.

      We’ve somehow got to a world which is literally worse than when it was just Murdoch owning some newspapers.

      “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters, OK?”

    17. Purple_monkfish on

      where was the media witch hunt over this guy then? They spent a lot of time screaming and crying about the Greens and calling them antisemites but a guy literally denies the holocaust and they’re all “nah, it’s fine”

      ??

      the bias of our nation’s media is clear.

    18. Striking_Smile6594 on

      In any sane world someone who said this wouldn’t never be allowed to stand as a councillor for a serious political party.

      This is also why any handwringing from Reform on the subject of Antisemitism should be treated with a great deal of suspicion. Any support they are giving to Jews in the UK (and to Israel) currently is entirely for reasons of political convenience.

      This sort of stuff is lurking under the surface.

    19. NeverHadTheLatin on

      Only a few years ago, uncovering this quote would have been enough to have a sitting councillor thrown out of a respectable party.

      Now, it gets you elected.

    20. IwatasTrueSuccessor on

      Surprise surprise this wasn’t splashed all over mainstream media

    21. Eclectika on

      Some people really are determined that we can’t have nice things, aren’t they?

    22. Ellisdee1 on

      I love how media post these stories now. The last month or two has been nothing but bashing left wing parties.

    23. Apprehensive-Art1092 on

      Who the fuck looks at what’s happening in the US and thinks: ‘Yeah, I wouldn’t mind a bit of that here’? We are surrounded by the dumbest of cunts.

    24. Necessary-Product361 on

      Half the BBC coverage on the greens lastnight and today has been about anti semitism, yet has said absolutely nothing on Reform nominating and electing Holocaust deniers

    25. Scrambled_59 on

      Given how incompetent the reform councils have been so far, I wonder how long it’ll take for him to resign

    26. BenderRodriguez14 on

      The National media were too busy going hell for leather on calling the Greens anti semitic to have time to bother covering the likes f thsi guuy over at Reform. Funny that. 

    27. FuzzBuket on

      Starting to think that it’s a bit odd how a Jewish man who disparaged of a genocide has been slandered as a massive antisemite whilst the party full of Holocaust deniers and neonazis gets painted as “the voice of honest blokes”

    28. Jackthwolf on

      Still waiting for the mass of news media to start endlessly chirping about “the unholy alliance between Zionists and Antisemites”
      *Surely* they’re not biased against the left, and so would not only talk about “the unholy alliance between Progressives and Islamists” when talking about seemingly opposed ideologies working together.
      Not when they make it clear how clearly bad antisemitism is.

      /s

    29. Immediate-Goose-8106 on

      Cunt.

      And everyone who voted for him is a cunt.

      And everyone in his party who lets him stay there without resigning in disgust is a cunt.

      I dont use that word lightly.

    30. Pazza_CJ on

      Feeling good rn because no Reform representatives took any seats at my local council.

    31. iknownothingwhy on

      I might stand as a reform MP in some shithole and bank the huge salary and never turn up at parliament then retire It’s /s but also a decent idea

    32. stats1101 on

      Well done Reddit. In an attempt to avoid the fake-Anti-Semites (Green), you voted in the real anti-Semites.

      As someone who loves history, I give up.

    35. Jensablefur on

      Remember all of these articles display the standard thoughts held by those in Reform.

      Its just that these are the ones caught saying it aloud.

      You just know what their conversations behind closed doors and on their telegram groups are like…

    36. Away-Parsnip-3785 on

      The Neo-Nazi boards on 8chan and 4chan are all cheering this on. Fucking hell.

    37. Inevitable-Knee-4374 on

      Reform supporters say “not everyone you disagree with is a nazi” and then elect a nazi

    38. SuccessfulNatural510 on

      FUCKING GREAT LETS GO+ LETS SPEEDRUN THE DOWNFALL OF OUR COUNTRY BY ELECTING UNEDUCATED ILLITERATE SCUM LIKE THIS. YAY

    39. MLoganImmoto on

      So where is the uproar from the media calling Reform and antisemitic party?

    40. PsychoticDust on

      I know for a *fact* that there are reform voters on here. Are any of you brave enough to justify voting for this party? This candidate is not even the only one at this, uh, level. Don’t be shy, I want you to draw from the party’s history, their leaders, manifesto, etc. Give me an actual intelligent answer. No what about, insults or cherry picking.

    41. InMyLiverpoolHome25 on

      Theres been a massive conspiracy/far right uprising in liverpool the past 7 or so years and people dont want to address it.

      Theres an inherent distrust of authority here, especially on the back of 14 years of tory rule, and thats been taken advantage of to morph it into opposing science or any kind of expert.

      This was further made worse when our mayor chippy tits had to step down due to corruption.

      Social media is just full of misinformation constantly, and I see people who ive known as good people for decades just repeating obvious far right lies constantly

      It wouldnt surprise me to see them do a lot better in the next election here, and labour dont even try.

    44. FrustratedPCBuild on

      ‘Oh but Labour haven’t magically made everything better in under two years, better vote for the grifting bigots instead’ is not a sentiment I can ever sympathise with.

    45. schwillton on

      But all the articles from the Murdoch Press Empire that were posted here relentlessly over the past month assured me that the antisemitism was coming from the Green Party! Now I’m learning that the openly racist party are ALSO antisemitic? Damn that’s crazy.

    46. coops2k on

      Maybe we should just accept at this point that the people voting for these people are just bigger cunts than the candidates themselves.

    47. ManInGarage28 on

      Hypocrites voting purely based on hate. What a sorry state of affairs this country is in.

    48. ohdeydothodontdeytho on

      Did Hitler deserve to die?

      Our Grandparents risked their lives, fought and died so idiots like this can say this.

      What a joke.

    49. deadblankspacehole on

      Let’s just give Farage the keys now yeah? I’m done worrying about this subject. You gonna get what you deserve, Britain. Well done
