That Reform racism row was due to an undercover actor . It was a political set up . Police should arrest that actor for hate speech and arrest people from channel 4 for trying to altar the course of a general election . It's election interference and a crime .

Its indefensible and you are a fool if you believe the excuses given.

Police are supposed to be investigating so we'll see what happens . However he said what he said so should be kicked out of the Reform Party and charged with hate speech .

They're a party for old bigots and not serious at all. Simple answers for simple people who dont understand reality.

It’s a fact the bloke is an actor, what’s not confirmed is whether he was paid by C4 and acting when he went all racist

It's currently not known by anybody if he was paid but it' was very convenient for channel 4 to have an undercover camera present . The establishment must be bricking it .

Mr Parker himself says his volunteering for Reform was separate from his acting job - and claims he was "goaded" into making the comments.

I have no idea whether actor Andrew Parker was paid by the media company that did the undercover filming (it wasn't C4 directly), I doubt it but I don't think it's totally out of the question.

According to his online bio he specialises in "secret filming" and "rough voice".

People can make up their own minds. I'd imagine his career as an actor is over, or perhaps just starting...

If you watched the whole original piece it wasn't just Parker. There was also a couple of Farage's aids spouting homophonic and racist stuff outside the Wetherspoons in Clacton. Apparently Farage excused it when he went on Loose Woman, saying they were drunk after watching England

Agent: I’ve got a job for you Andrew, leading role as well and bound to get you lots of press attention. All you have to do is pretend you’re a massive racist and then spend three days with your face plastered all over the national news with everyone saying how utterly awful your comments were.

Not exactly a bite your hand off proposal is it?

I don't even care if this one incident was staged, not that I'm saying it was. The racism within the "party" and links to BNP and other despicable right wing a-holes is there to see for anyone who wishes to engage brain. Farage has spoken at right wing rallies in the US where White Supremacy is the main theme. Reform are right-wing racist scum and anyone who supports them can do one.

If the incident WAS staged (like you, I'm not saying it was, but it might have been) there will be serious repercussions for anyone involved. It is a criminal offence to attempt to influence the outcome of an election, not to mention a deliberate and underhand attempt to discredit a legitimate political party (even if it does have its fair share of, as you put it, "despicable right wing a-holes"). That should be way above a national broadcaster, and is undemocratic. IF it was staged.

If that's something people don't care about, that's a poor reflection on them.

Wouldnt Mr Parker have said it was staged if that were the case?

Quite frankly, your political comments get more embarrassing by the week.

Hopefully, your right-wing apologist for racism schtick gets silenced once the landslide hits on July 4th.

In the scheme of "things to get upset about" the outing of the overt racism and bigotry of Reform is one I'll pass on, thanks. If I were you, I'd be more concerned about why I'm using Farage as my avatar. That's a pretty poor reflection on you, don't you think.

If these are his genuine views and he was caught out on camera, wouldn’t you use the ‘I’m an actor, it was staged’ excuse to get out of it?

Outing of racism and bigotry in any political party is always to be applauded - from The Reform Party to The Labour Party (which, along with the racist
BNP, remain the only UK political parties to have been investigated for and found guilty of racism by the Equality and Human Rights Commission).

Avatars are just a bit of a laugh - I'll change it on Friday after Nigel has won Clacton.
