Two Reform UK candidates ditched after accusations of racism and religious hate

The Reform Party has dropped two of its general election candidates after they were accused of racism and religious hate. This programme had spoken to both of the candidates and confronted them with offensive social media postings.

The Reform party, which had scrambled to recruit candidates for 630 of the UK's 650 constituencies, now says they have withdrawn support from the pair.’

A warning, this report by Amelia Jenne contains references to highly offensive language.

“I’ve known Nigel for over 30 years”. How does that not tell you everything about the kind of person Farage really is.

[The-Wolf-with-no-name]

Damn when Reform ditches you for being too unpalatable you really need to look hard in the mirror.

It's political correctness gone mad. You can't even make racist or islamophobic comments any more without someone not finding them amusing.

[EthanZoid]

Isn’t that their entire selling point 😂

The top Tory donor who insulted D. Abbott would approve...

A French car? No wonder he got sacked! What a traitor!

Reform party: 2 candidates dropped for racism, offenders are publicly shamed

Green Party: 4 candidates dropped for racism, no mention of who they are…

in America, such accusations would increase your chances of being elected. Nice to see that some civility still exists in the UK

My parents came to the UK in the 1960s when immigration was around 20, 000 a year. Today legal immigration is 1.4 million plus 60, 000 illegal economic migrants arriving by boat. Between the years 2000 and 2024, 11 million have come to the UK of which approximately 6.8 million are from the EU. The UK simply cannot substain these huge numbers in terms of hospitals, GPs, dentists, schools, housing, roads etc. More people have arrived in the UK over the past two decades than over the last two thousand years. Tokyo is 99.3pc Japanese, Lagos is 99.6pc black, New Delhi is 99.9pc indian, whereas London which was 99pc white English in 1951, is astonishingly today only 38pc white. I'm a brown guy btw and find these figures shocking.

Assuming TalkTv and GBN won’t mention this

people jumping on cars should be more worried about being arrested than people saying hurty words.

Racism in Reform who would have thought 🙄

[jonnoMoto]

I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

[GTAPlayer]

Love how casual he is about the racism...

[pauls]

Why have Labour ditched 5 candidates ... Nick Brown, Jeremy Corbyn, Geraint Davies, Conor, McGinn, Claudia Webbe ?

[jackspring]

Ah: racism and religious hate - those two old reliable chestnuts.

[MrCozzie]

Why is this racism unacceptable but it's fine for Humza Yousaf and Anas Sarwar to spew racist rant's in Holyrood?

[stevebartley]

Why so shocked? Fascists will be fascists. 🙄

[samcarena]

No surprise. Reform is full of these type of people

I am not racist but I am culturist. I do not care what colour you are but if you live in the UK you should at least make the effort to assimilate and integrate into the British way of life. The unfortunate thing is that this is about as far removed from Islam as you could possibly get yet still they come and they will eventually want everything their way. This has been demonstrated many times in many places throughout history and always leads to bloodshed.
