How far to the right (not far-right) are Reform?

[Petrov788]

Racists will vote for them in their droves. Even if all of their candidates aren't racist. And let's face it, at least some of them are.

They all are, without exception. The clue is in their racist policies.

Far right Reform MP Lee Anderson asks question about institutional racism in the Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority. What a far right racist he is.

[Real Al]

They appeal to a load of old racists

As do both Labour & Conservative. Power doesn't arrive unless you get old racists to vote for you.

Be good when they're all dead.

Not sure that works. New racists appear as people get older. Used to be egged on my the Daily Fail and their "Everything is terrible" narrative. Now it's social media

You think a clip of a man making a performative effort to deny racism proves that he's not a racist? Interesting.

I'm not fully on board with your theory that people get more racist as they get older. Maybe they were always racist but restrained in their younger days because of the societal impact on their employment etc.

I'm also concerned that we appear to have a society with a process in place, via media etc, to make a plentiful supply of new racists.

[Beradogs]

I’m voting for them.

[Max B Gold]

I’m voting for them.

Yawn

You think asking the Chair of the Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority to name one, just one, example of "white advantage" in her organisation and failing to come up with one (having agreed with a report that says her force is institutionally racist) is a performative action by Anderson to deny his far right racism? Interesting.

He was offering her the opportunity to highlight the institutional racism in her force and she failed miserably. Anyway, she's going to get back to him after she's actually read the report she agrees with, so all will be cleared up soon.

Looks like Lee is with more like minded people these days. I suspect they agree too with Lee that London has been captured by Islamists

[Proposition Joe]

faldO seems to be conflating two different things but I'm going to be generous and assume that both he and Lee Anderson very much know that.

It's part of the propaganda shtick to try and appear moderate and reasonable but behind the scenes in private they talk like the fascists they are.

[faldO]

[Max B Gold]

There's an awful lot of fascists to not like. Isn't Nigel Farage ex National Front?

[Currywurst and Chips]

No

Ah, the memes are coming out. Best way to know I've won, cheers.

You get he’s trying to deny the institutional racism, right?

It's the Firewoman who denied it...it's literally what she said.

You've "won"?

[Proposition Joe]

Yes. You have admitted you're being silly as you have nothing left to say apart from post silly, meaningless pictures. I thank you for your honesty.

Fair enough...if it's that important to you and makes you happy...

[Max B Gold]

Not another one!!

No it’s not. She has apparently agreed with the findings of the report and that institutional racism exists.

He asked her what advantage a white person has in the brigade. Her stumbled response was that she hoped none.

[Hoover Attack]

But regardless, what has this got to do with how racist - or not - Lee Anderson is? I don’t get it.

[Dunners]

Just four points between the Tories and Reform UK in this latest poll. I very much doubt that people would vote this way at an actual GE, but I don't think I can recall even UKIP getting this close.
