    The article is worth a read and shows the role local journalism plays in investigating local politicians.

    Sounds like reform voters got what they voted for then.

    A bigoted piece of shit, who is a member of a party that promotes bigoted piece of shit viewpoints, has expressed bigoted piece of shit sentiments before.

    Sounds like the vetting process that Farage speaks of is working as intended.

  4. They’re literally just BNP in disguise, why can’t people see through that ?

    Boam is a vile little internet troll and not a proper politician. But there’s a lot of people – I’m guessing the younger and more chronically online portion of their base – who will absolutely love it.

    Part of MAGA’s appeal is the permission to relax and be the worst person you can possibly be. Reform will want that same appeal. They’re not just going to be badly informed old Tories.

    I don’t think most of us want to be governed by Andrew Tate stans and edgelords, but seeing what has happened in America should put us on the alert when grubby little bastards like this pop up in politics.

    Reform voters won’t mind a bit so probably won’t do him any harm.

    Exactly what the knuckle dragging reform voters want…. The fact they have any sort of support in little England really highlights the problem with stupidity that country has.

  8. No surprise there the sexist racist party reform is sexiest and racists. Who would have guessed?

    Wasn’t that a requirement for his selection into the party? God forbid they have a party member who isn’t a racist wife beater.

    Truly don’t get it how are u islamophic if ur homophobic and sexist like dude ur pretty much Muslim at that point

  11. Probably quicker to tell us if we find a Reform candidate who doesn’t post shit like this.

    And people are surprised? Reform’s one major policy is just “hate foreigners”, of course they’re gonna be like this.

    Listening to Ben Kentish this morning on LBC; he’s always struck me as quite balanced but probably more left-leaning than others at the channel, but even he is promoting the ‘isn’t Angela Rayner calling Reform voters idiots by calling Farage a snake oil salesman’. Hillary still gets the blame for calling MAGA ‘deplorables’, when all their behaviour & language since has indeed been deplorable.

    An old guy came on to give his view and said he was voting Reform and just waded into repeating bullshit about France putting migrants in boats to send here, how Europe was our enemy etc. Just repeating talking points without listening to the counter-factual (when challenged with the actual truth he does the usual ‘I’m just a lay person/I’m not as clever as you), without actually applying critical thinking to a different viewpoint.

    I fear there is no hope with people like him (although he was 83…)

    Remember when the Democrats lost the election by spending the campaign calling the other side Nazis? Would be better if we engage with the points or we’ll have the same fate.

    Women back in the kitchen, LGBTQ back in the closet that’s the Trump tribute acts plan

  16. I think the reasonable move here is to find out which school he just left and make them redo their Prevent training. He’s a textbook case for right wing radicalization.

    The guy shared some shit unfunny memes. We should concentrate on this and not how reform’s policies would or wouldn’t work out…

    Islamophobia isn’t a real thing. It’s a concept created by Islamists to prevent the criticizm of Islam, which is bullshit.

    But let’s say it is. Is Christianophobia also a thing?

  19. birdinthebush74 on

    Left leaning person here . I despise all religions, and politicians that want to remove women’s rights

    Why do you think I would possibly want Islam to make our laws ?

    I want less religious influence in parliament not more .

    I don’t care what jokes he’s made on the Internet.

    My issue is that after googling him, I can’t find anything about him aside from his twitter meming

    He’s been put in charge of adult social care. What’s his experience? Any qualifications? Previous jobs?

  21. Radical politics are interesting, because everyone loves to believe that they are fighting against radicalism, but in reality both parties are radical. The UK is a political shit show where no one is willing to accept that they have gone too far in pursuit of undermining the ideologies of their opposition. Has migration and diversity gone too far? Yes. However, has Racism and Xenophobia gone too far? Yes. Both of these problems only exist because both sides are radical extremists to their cause.

    The left likes to sling these terms without any knowledge of its meaning, much like other commonly used terms.

    Are Reform UK that desperate for talent that they’ve asked the work experience kid to give it a go?

  24. sober_disposition on

    Was their sharing of this content illegal or just controversial?

    I think over the past few decades we’ve got used to our politicians resigning at the slightest hint of controversy but the days of politicians trying to please everyone (or more like trying not to offend anyone) are over. Voters want to hear politicians sharing their controversial views, provided of course that they agree with those views.

    It’s divisive but at least it’s more honest.

    How can someone become a deputy political leader at just 22 years old? And referring to himself as “Lord”? What a wally!

  26. Moist-Pomegranate943 on

    Who’d have thought voting for a bunch of racists would make the country racist hey

    I’m sorry are we supposed to act surprised that a homophobic, sexist and Islamophobic party have a deputy leader who is homophobic, sexist and Islamophobic and that deputy leader says homophobic, sexist and Islamophobic things?

    Well I for one are shocked and appalled.
