Reform candidates come in three types. Those motivated by crazy neoliberal ideology based on the sociopathic views of Ayn Rand (“The virtue of selfishness”) Hayek and Friedman. Both social Darwinists who thought that the markets should decide everything. Xenophobic and overtly racist. Some just want to enrich themselves at others expense and seek attention, and thirdly a hate fuelled repugnant mixture of both. Inept, ignorant, stupid, and deranged.
Reform claimed their vetting process was the best in the country….
Strange, when the BBC asked Richard Tice about this he said it was just a “smear”. So why was he suspended?
I’m not normally one to knock someone’s appearance, but I think racists are fair game. He looks like something you’d come up with in the character creator in an RPG, or maybe an identikit photo.
Did someone finally realise that Nigerians aren’t made of tarmac and therefore his suggestion was woefully inadequate to fix the pot hole issue?
How many is that since Thursday? By my count it is four but there may be more I have not seen. Of course when new Reform councillors actually have to run things the attrition rate is likely to go up a fair bit. When right wing fantasy meets reality it can get ugly very fast. I have my popcorn and I am ready for a fun time.
It’s one of the bat shit craziest things I think I’ve ever heard – how are these people infiltrating our countries system of governance? People need to bother to vote.
Guys, I am starting to think that “some” of these reform uk people might be a bit racist, you know?
Local elections in my area are next year (which was hilarious when people were complaining that they weren’t allowed to vote despite going to the usual place)
Unfortunately knowing the people in my area it’s pretty much nailed on that these idiots will get in.
Wonder if this will make the local TV news on ITV or BBC tonight. It didnt when comments were first found, it didnt yesterday, wonder if will be today.
Rich from some who’s rocking several skin tones in one picture
Of course the main stream media has been silent. This was reported days ago.
It it was the Greens or Labour and involved anti-Semitism, I bet your arse it would be front page news for the next 2 weeks
people didnt want career politicians, they just wanted the average bloke off the street to run things.
Interesting times ahead. lets see how that plays out.
>Newly-elected Sunderland politician Glenn Gibbins has become the ***sixth Reform UK councillor to be suspended since being appointed a matter of days ago***
LOL, this is going entirely as expected. What a shit-show Reform are
They’re dropping like flies and its perfect to see
Good riddance. Expect to see more Reform councillors, etc, go by the wayside.
How many literal nazis have to be in a party before we call them a nazi party?
What an odious looking little man. Looks like he needs his hard drive going through.
Reform is a Dog whistles only party
…. At least untill they are in power.
It’s like it was all orchestrated, use them to get the elected seat then replace them. Kinda like a lot of reform used to be torie. It’s just a rebranding.
I am a little surprised that the party is revoking their membership. I guess they feel that this sort of stuff is vote losing, but I am afraid I don’t. I think most reform voters will either quiely agree or openly support these types of comments.
Will all the councils whose reform candidates have stepped down do another vote, or is it just the next reform person in line
Who had reform counciler suspended in 3 days on their bingo sheet
And to think people believe they will sort out the country and cut immigration. This party could not organise a piss-up in a brewery.
