Leslie Lilley, the Reform candidate in Southend East and Rochford - expected to get 20% of the vote - said he would “slaughter” migrants arriving on small boats and “have their family taken out”.
Again & over & over. Anyone that hates humanity this much should have no right to lead or represent their fellow beings. This is hate speech & a potential hate crime. How Hitler of this guy to say. Sad!
The Times reported a couple of weeks ago that 10% of Reform candidates have some association (social media following etc) with Gary Raikes and others of the fascist New British Union.
It's a disgustingly low standard for someone seeking high public office. But niggel Fartrage will be okay with it which ought to be a clear signal to the vast majority of his unfitness to 'lead'.
This is our Reform candidate where I live. He was awful at hustings last night. Reform have chosen the absolute dregs to stand for election. God help us.
particularly disappointing, as Bicester & Woodstock is Rupert Harrison's first attempt to win a seat for the Tories. was genuinely hoping the Reform candidate would spoil his party and let the LD candidate in.
The LibDem was the most impressive last night, so fingers crossed. The Tory was doing his best to disassociate himself from his party, but it was noted that they was one of the architects of austerity under the Cameron/Osborn government
Reminder that a large chunk of the Tory party would like to merge with Reform and think Farage would make a good leader. National front —> BNP —> UKIP —> Reform, it is always the same: grifters exploiting stupidity and social exclusion to drive grievance and evil.
Farage: "he was quoted out.of context, and this sort out outrage archaeology does nothing for the political debate in our country".
Reporter: "Will you suspend him?"
Farage: "Certainly not"
