Why Did We Normalise Reform UK?

Channel 4 have produced an undercover report exposing the views which are rampant through Reform UK supporters. Nigel Farage and his friends are on full damage limitation mode and angry that the media would shine a spotlight on them. But we should focus less on anger at the bigots, and more on those who know they are wrong and platformed them anyway.

In fact, Reform UK is not being treated as any other political party in the UK. You have the Green Party and the Liberal Democrats who are longstanding and have had presence in Westminster for decades and mount serious challenges across the country and yet are given much less prominence than RefUK.

As a retired homeowner, I am (theoretically) the stereotypical Tory voter. But I do have a functioning brain and am capable of critical thinking. So no, the Tories can whistle for my vote. and RefUK are (or should be) beyond the pale. The're not a genuine political party anyway. Aren't they a Limited Company?

I am Austrian. I know what you are talking about. We Europeans have to be careful, that the ghosts of the past don't come back.

I still say that Farage would still be a nothing if the likes of question time hadn't given him a season ticket.

Glad to hear Channel 4 is on the ball.
Edit: it's been almost two decades since i lived in the UK, but back then the channel was really good. They had a documentary on torture that deeply impressed me. Now, watching from afar how the UK and the once impeccable BBC go to shit, i was just glad to hear that there is still some real TV journalism out there.

Frankie Boyle was right when he said that Brexit was Christmas for racists.

If this was a labour activist the noise from the Tories and the mainstream client media would be deafing.

When Tories suspect that there is some light at the end of the tunnel, They simply steal some more tunnel.

Farage won’t be interested in working as an MP

[brianferguson]

The Labour Party think the Glass is Half Full. The Torries Think the Glass is Theirs.

[bramharms]

Blaming a conservative for being on the morally wrong side is like blaming a real sewer for being full of shit.

[marktucker]

"Things can only get better"- Labour. "Why does it always rain on me." - Tories. "Springtime for Hitler."- Reform.

Patel, Braverman, and Badenoch will soon regret cosying up to the far-right.

[pansepot]

The Tories saw the rise of Trump and maga and thought the UK could and would follow the trend.

[carldori]

Normalize tolerance not bigotry, that’s an excellent sentiment.

[hiteshpattni]

The shades of fascist views that the BBC and tories display allows for the Reform and BNP platform to be championed.

[elisabethkrojnewski]

I'm from Germany. This topic is so incredibly important! We have the same problem here (arguably even worse) and it's frightening.

The scariest part of the footage from that Channel-4 exposé was the part when a Reform-UK organiser explained that the forty thousand additional police officers that Reform UK says it will recruit would be paramilitary forces. Reform UK intends to create its own Sturmabteilung. "Fascist" and "fascism" are inaccurately overapplied labels, but they are very appropriate when used in reference to that policy.

[dirtyden]

Why is it not okay to call them and people like them Far rigtht. But its completely okay for people like this to call everyone they disagree with Far Left, a communist, a lefty woke snowflake, etc?

If Cameron had removed the whip from the most feral ERG members before the 2015 General Election, the Tory Party would be much healthier today.
