>Then in November, he tweeted: Nothing good will come from importing yet more Muslims
Well has it? Anyone got some stats?
To be fair beyond the headline he said the low IQ of sub Saharan africans was diluting the UK IQ average – he contests it as taken out of context when discussing a book. If that is the case that’s terrible, if he did say it meaning it then that is terrible. He has since deleted his account out of frustration so unless someone drags it up on the way back machine it remains a bit of a grey area. His comments about Muslims was a tick box recruitment culture and high levels of immigration concern. This does seem to case doubt on his views regarding IQ but as I have concerns about Islam and immigration in general without concerns about IQ and racism I guess we will have to give him the benefit of the doubt until we can find his since deleted account
Edit – not sure why the down vote for summarising the article in an unbiased way?
Thought it was standard practice for all reform candidates to make vile racist comments
Those comments might seem low IQ to some but they’ll resonate with many voters. As will the Green Party’s local election candidate’s Islamist outburst after his election win.
The question once again is not why the chaotic mess that is Reform unable to do basic vetting, but why these racist shits are so keen to share a platform with Nigel Farage?
Hypothetically, what if sub Saharan Africans did have lower IQs **on average**?

Note: ‘on average’ does not mean ‘all’ and so means nothing when considering any given individual.
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that so many Reform candidates have said vile hateful shit in recent memory guys, they’re totally not the BNP by a different name
Why is it controversial to state that ethnicity has some impact on intelligence, while it is uncontroversial to state that ethnicity has some impact on physical ability?
I’m not sure anyone who identifies as a reform supporter is in any position to criticise someone else’s IQ.
It’s interesting people are ignoring the comments he made about the BBC chairman which seem, imo, pretty inarguably racist.
Using a private company for a one-off vetting and getting screwed by it is peak privatisation mindset. I was well done.
I recall certain MP’s calling Brexit voters thick too.
What is the problem of someone with low IQ being candidate for Reform UK?
No one here EVER seen videos of minority behaviour on our streets, in our shops, on our public transport? I envy you, you obviously aren’t being forced to accept them into the areas you frequent.
