She isn't a journalist, she gave up that job title ages ago She's just taking a balanced journalistic position - you're making out that she's Richard Tice's partner or something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 He's on question time tonight so we'll see if he sticks to this pathetic excuse. Maybe channel 4 were trying to discredit reform but he still said what he said but the majority of reform voters share these beliefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Someone posted the Reform “contract” (anonymously) on the neighbourhood fb group suggesting they are the party to be voting for. I was pleased to see it was promptly ridiculed and then taken down by the admin. Thank goodness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will attract the far right brigade which puts me off them so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to infiltrate a party with a plant to make them look bad, you wouldn't enlist an actor and have them use their real **** name. This is just the kind of scumbag that follows Nigel from party to party. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The canvasser who made the racist comments has admitted he is an actor but that he canvasses for Reform. Surely we are not saying actors can't be Reform supporters and so it must be fake. Laurence Fox is a professional actor and has some vile views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right just thought someone had put up vote for Reform and it was taken down which would be wrong unless the community group had a non political policy .

Had two paramedics at our house a few months back now and they were both adamant something was going wrong regarding the vaccines. They didn’t want to say too much and I didn’t want to push the envelope so left it at that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 29 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29 There were a couple of Reform blokes campaigning at Shirley Retail Park. They were basically shouting a lot of unintelligible stuff, I heard the word "patriot" shouted at a car who I assumed said something to them on the way past. I really wanted to shout out something like "**** off you racist shits" at them but there were a lot of kids about and I thought it's basically being as bad as them to go shouting at people in the streets you don't agree with.

If I wanted to show that lots of Labour Party activists are pro-Palestine, I wouldn't feel the need to hire an actor. If I wanted to show that lots of the current Tory party are quite Brexity, I'd just use all those Brexity people in the Tory party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Unbelievable- there is a strong possibility my areas going to be reform looking at the predictions. Its currently tory but everyone is deserting them and going reform. Very wierd because its not generally a racist area but you would have to be racist to vote for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 On reflection the channe 4 documentary does look a bit dodgy. Not saying they had any involvement but the guy who said the racist stuff is an actor and uses different voices and the voice he used was one of his actors voices not his normal voice. Maybe he is a tory who wants to discredit the reform party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
