Did anyone see the Chanel 4 news about reform last night?
No surprise in their undercover investigation.

Now they are all at it
(34 Posts)It isn't just the Conservatives! A senior Labour MP has been betting against his chances of keeping his seat and an activist has been suspended for running a 'honeytrap' operation aimed at Conservative members
The police said that a man was arrested on suspicion of harassment and committing offences under the Online Safety Act.
Not much to choose between them is there?
Reform UK canvasser calls for ‘target practice’ on people arriving by boat
The undercover investigator went on the campaign trail with a Reform UK canvasser, Andrew Parker, who says he knows Nigel Farage.
In a car en route to canvassing potential voters, Mr Parker gives the undercover investigator advice on what to say on the doorstep.
“The immigration thing, use the word ‘illegal’. Emphasise ‘illegal’ especially if you open the door and there’s a bunch of p****.”
Giving his view on Muslims and what the party would do with mosques, Mr Parker says to the undercover investigator:
“Sick mate. Sick m*****f******”, adding: “It’s a cult. I tell you what, if you don’t know about Islam, it is the most disgusting cult out”. “We’re f**** kicking all the Muslims out of the mosques and turning them into Wetherspoons.“
In the same conversation, Mr Parker describes Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as a “f**** p***”.
“I’ve always been a Tory voter,” he says, “but what annoys me is that f**** p* we’ve got in. What good is he? You tell me, you know. He’s just wet. F**** useless”.
Talking to a prospective voter on the doorstep, Mr Parker is also heard expressing his views on how to stop the boats, suggesting army recruits should carry out “target practice”.
“You’ve got Deal, haven’t you. The place near Dover. Army recruitment. Get the young recruits there, yeah, with guns on the f**** beach, target practice. F**** just shoot them. That is what the Greeks done… You know about that. The Greeks shot a load… Ringfence Bradfordstan. Round the f**** up. Do that f**** lot as well. And you’ve got these bastards running our country. You must be f**** joking mate.”
He later tells a man who says he’s a paramedic to deny oxygen to a patient in an ambulance if they are “any of that f**** lot”.
“And do us a favour. You’re a paramedic. Any of that f**** lot get in your ambulance, just don’t put oxygen on the bastard. Use something else. You know where I’m coming from”, he says.
Reform UK campaign figure outlines vision
The programme’s report returns to the scene at a Clacton pub where senior campaign figures meet. Mr Jones tells the undercover investigator why Reform UK chose Clacton, saying:
“Have a look around. Proper England. You know what I mean? Proper English. Not like in London when you’re a foreigner in your own country, and if you say ‘hello’ to someone they look like they’re about to f**** knife you in the face”.
Later, joined by Mr Gravett and Mr Bates, Mr Jones makes homophobic comments, as a police car passes by displaying a Pride flag.
“You see that f**** degenerate flag on the front bonnet? What are the old bill doing promoting that crap? They should be out catching nonces not promoting the f******.”
Later, outlining their vision for a future Reform government, Mr Gravett is heard saying: “When we form the government in 2029 then surely we can change lots of things”.
In response, Mr Jones is heard saying “our police officers will be paramilitaries, they won’t be police” and that Reform UK should “bring back the noose”.
Today’s reporting from Channel 4 News comes amidst new MRP polling from Electoral Calculus, which predicts Reform UK could win as many as 18 seats in next week’s election.
Is that what they call 'telling it like it is'?
Goodness, it's disgusting...

And still some on GN describe this party as shiny and new. Disgusting
He's an actor presumably placed as a plant to discredit The Reform Party. An investigation is underway. The mainstream parties are certainly getting worried.

I don't expect them too. Reform are a shiny new party, hopefully will get a few seats. Little acorns grow into big oak trees. It's a start to break the two party stronghold.
“A shiny new party” I think not! They “evolved” from the Brexit Party, which in turn contained many previous UKIP.
They are neither “shiny” nor “new”. At best they are tarnished recycled!

Labour damage caused was more personal, though it affected millions besides me both then and now.
I haven’t denied any damage done by the Conservatives, but remember, the reason we have a Conservative government is because voters didn’t like what Labour did.
The reason we kept a Conservative government is because voters didn’t trust Labour.
The reason we’ll get a Labour government this time is because people now trust Conservatives less than Labour.

Then they must have had several actors because someone at the party headquarters was saying similar things.
