The 70-year-old conspiracy theorist who is likely to reap 20 per cent of the vote in Southend East & Rochford is Facebook friends with the fascist leader Gary Raikes.
A Reform candidate said he would “slaughter” migrants arriving on small boats and “have their family taken out”.
Leslie Lilley, who is set to win almost 20 per cent of the vote in the Labour battleground seat of Southend East & Rochford, made the threats on the official Facebook account he uses to run his local campaign.
In a post in June 2020, Lilley reacted to the news of a small boat arriving in Dover saying: “I hope I’m near one of these scumbags one day I won’t run away I’ll slaughter them then have their family taken out.”
The same month, Lilley, now 70, railed against “more scum entering the UK”, adding “I hope your family get Robbed, Beaten or attacked”.

He also suggested Border Force vessels should have razor wire to tear small boats carrying migrants across the Channel, and commented “gas” along with several laughing emojis under a video of Muslims praying.
Lilley, who has also argued that the pandemic was a plan to “depopulate the world” and was “mass murder by government”, is one of the 41 Reform UK candidates who are “friends” on Facebook with Gary Raikes, the fascist leader.
Raikes, a former organiser for the British National Party, founded the New British Union in the image of Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists, with activists who call themselves blackshirts.
Nigel Farage has defended Reform UK candidates who are ‘friends’ with the fascist leader.
Worst candidate yet? I wonder if these degenerates being revealed for what they are will reduce the vote for Reform, or is he just “saying what we are all thinking”…
When he is going to release the “It was taken out of context.” excuse?
So what will Reform call themselves next election eh? – post suggestions below –
So which one will this be?
Taken out of context, tongue firmly in cheek, or saying what every normal person is thinking?
I look forward to which one Farage and which one the sudden influx of 3 month old Reddit accounts go for, it’s usually a pick and mix
Cue the usual reform cultists asking “what’s wrong with that, it’s what we are all thinking” defence
Everything looks bad when you put it under a microscope.
Let’s call this guy what he is: an actual Nazi.
Let’s call Reform what it is: a party which openly tolerates and promotes actual Nazis.
(The only thing which would give me pause in describing Reform as ‘a Nazi Party’ is that it doesn’t have the sufficient centralisation, coherence or organisation to qualify.)
(Yet.)
From the same place that former Tory MP Sir David Amess got murdered.
How is this not a terrorist threat? Methinks that Prevent needs to take a closer look at these Reform Party candidates.
Another day, another Nazi… this is how they will “Reform” UK
It’s crazy that the extreme right is on the rise for absolutely no reason at all.
Reform (+1) because that’s likely an alarmingly popular pub take
Theres not enough about that Gary Raikes fella. He looks like he could be proper funny, in a Borat kind of way.
Given some comments on this sub I doubt this harms their position.
It’s good they’re not hiding their fascist inclinations. Be terrible to vote on a misunderstanding.
If any other political party had someone like this not just affiliated with the party, but actively endorsed by them, then they’d be (rightly) asked about it constantly.
But nope – the media has to help Farage keep the lie going that he’s not a facist
What’s that now? 6, 7 Reform candidates being totally abhorrent cunts in the last 2 weeks?
Gets them the headlines and publicity. Each time something like this occurs you get a few more of the brain dead signing up and sending in their membership fees. Farage doesn’t give a shit as long as his cash register keeps ticking over.
He’s standing in my area. He didn’t bother showing up to the hustings. I’m really hoping he’ll get no votes.
Unfortunately these lot showing their true colours enables other racist fucks to show theirs too.
It is sad seeing people like my dad vote for this sort of person. I get that people are angry and frustrated at how things have been for many years, it is something I have seen my dad go through personally. It is just horrible that they blame immigrants and not successive governments who have done their upmost to keep ordinary people down.
We need to do something about immigration, however killing migrants is not going to achieve that. It certainly will not encourage investment in the UK and its infrastructure. If Reform voters want actual reform then they should be demanding honesty and integrity from elected officials, not gunboats in the Channel.
Call him in a “conspiracy theorist” basically means he’s telling the truth and you don’t want to hear it.
I hope Leslie Lilley gets slaughtered whilst out campaigning.
I have my own thoughts on illegal and financial immigration. But that guy’s not slaughtering anything 😂
Every party has people in them that has done or said reprehensible things. Even Labour.
Slaughter them in a game of football and then have their families taken out for a celebratory meal. It’s all been taken out of context you see.
Tough talk from some fucking guy called Leslie Lilley lmao.
