      “His Conservative opponent in Basingstoke, the former minister Maria Miller, said: “Basingstoke residents will be shocked and troubled that the Reform party candidate, Raymond Saint, has been a member of the BNP.”

      I don’t think anyone is that shocked…

      Quick, there’s only a few days left, let’s throw one of our own under the bus to let everyone know that we’ve changed, that we’re the good guys now and not just a bunch of lying, grifting, self-serving fascists..

      These guys are just as much of a shit show as the tory bastards lol….

      btw if anyone wants the list of BNP members from when it was leaked way back (early / late 2000’s) it’s on wikileaks to download

      Lets face it they are all dodgy. Any that actually get elected are going to be droning on about conspiracy theories and being generally awful on BBCQT for years..

      Plenty more where that came from! Why do you think Nick Griffin hated Farage so much? He was stealing all his people.

      He’ll remain on the ballot which is important information for Reform if they can get away with that in the future.

      Is this news? I thought Reform UK pretty much was the BNP with a new coat of paint, it attracts almost the same voting crowd at the very least.

      Considering what happened with UKIP when Farage left, with first the ‘under duress’ lady becoming leader and then Professor Nuttal taking the reins, it isn’t especially surprising that these people are among the Reform ranks. Some Tory was outed a couple of years ago when images circulated of himself and known fascists wearing fascist regalia at a meeting at some village hall somewhere. Pretty sure the numpty had a BUF armband on. Anyway, these people have always been milling about at the edge of the fairly mainstream right. There’s a decent amount of overlap with the Tory right and Nigel’s followers.

      C’mon guys, don’t need to sell Reform to me this hard. I am already voting for them.

      But they are the bnp. Where do you think all those members from 2000 went? First to ukip then brexit and now reform…

      Oh no!!!

      Anyway, let’s get back to the making sure the Tories are fucked beyond all belief shall we…
