Racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and traitors to the country. I hope all this puts off the voters who were considering voting for them out of an anti-establishment sentiment.
For clarity, numerous Conservative Party members have said the same and continue saying the same.
Heck, Lizz Truss won only because she was white lmao.
No sympathy for Rishi. He made anti trans jokes in front of Brianna Ghey’s mother. I doubt he has any empathy.
> Mr Sunak: “My two daughters have to see and hear Reform people who campaign for Nigel Farage calling me an effing ‘P***’
Yeah, this is unacceptable. What is the state of this country? Have all ethics and decency gone out of the window and down the toilet?
As someone of Kashmiri & Pakistani descent these remarks hurt me too. It’s distasteful and disgusting. I (& others of my background) work/ed hard in this country. I pay taxes and abide by the law. I should be seen as British as anyone else. I was born here. I live here.
I hope Reform expel these racist fuckwits. That’s the least they can do.
But Tories have been trying to ferment this with culture war bullshit by pushing unfettered free speech for the past 5 years. They reap what they sow.
Well now you know how trans people feel when you talk about them.
Reform’s rise is partly on his back though. The Government’s complete ineptitude in dealing with the immigration crisis we face has unsurprisingly left many people sharing the sentiments which Reform preach.
He’s not my choice of PM but the problem isn’t his ethnicity. Awful bunch of people out there.
Poor rich boy feelings are sad
Blake, where’s the bloody world’s smallest violin.
I cannot imagine how bad things would get if Farage’s clowns were to have any sort of power. It would be incident after incident, kind of like when Johnson was stumbling from one thing to another. And we really don’t need that sort of shit again.
The sad thing is that this will only shore up the vote of Reforms base.
Their take will be “haha what a lad” or that he’s “telling it like it is”.
We all know what these people are like.
Such abusive language has no place in society. Unfortunately with Reform and a fair chunk of the electorate making a noise about immigration, its inevitable that alongside people genuinely concerned about the issue, you will get the braindead racists thinking it gives them *carte blanche* to step out from the shadows.
For a party projected to win at best a handful of seats if that, it does seem like the media and the Tory party in particular, are really gunning for Reform now. Previously I doubt they’d have bothered, especially if the Tories were polling ahead.
Its really an indictment of both “main” parties that Reform are even gaining any sort of traction, and yet both refuse to acknowledge that they have effectively created the ideal conditions for extremism to flourish.
Imagine how people have felt hearing slurs from Tory members over the past 14 years. Shockingly, the Tories have presided over this culture war.
He is useless and out of touch but he doesn’t deserve to be racially abused. However, the conservatives aren’t much better and Labour had that entire anti-semitism scandal so let’s be honest it’s not just Reform.
He should hear what half his party says when he gets off the Zoom calls.
As an Eastern European who has lived here for 20 years since I was 5, I could have told you that Reform/UKIP/Nigel Farage are racist pricks back in 2016. I’m not at all surprised that this is how they talk about people of colour behind closed doors
No one that supports labour or conservative is racist. #bbcfactcheck
