Reform activists depict female cabinet ministers as cows in abattoir.

Who on earth thought that was a good idea! Puerile, absolutely pathetic and the height of bad taste, or rather no taste at all. I believe Hertsmere used to be Tory country. Now it’s idiots.

Farage is much more dangerous than cows, at he end of the day cows are just £1000 worth of beef, that’s where a dangerous cow ends up.

Talking about females being cows. Foul. That is what I mean by unpleasant. Not a topic I would want to talk about, it is nauseating.Don’t give them any more publicity,they don’t deserve it.

Cows produce milk and calves.

Steer or heifers are intended for beef.

It's not the cow so much, as cows are much maligned.

It's the abattoir reference which needs to be investigated.

As Elegran put it on the last page,

If we don't object, then we are complicit in the coarsening of the political scene in this country, and the descent into the threat of physical violence as an accepted way of influencing national policy. That is throwing away hundreds of years of progress into more or less civilised rule of law".

It's also the particular nasty misogyny picking on women politicians. its like turning the clock back, when it was common to call women "fat cows" as normal discourse, and taken a long time for women to challenge this sort of insult.

Some may find this funny. Shame on them. I think it's hate crime that should be dealt with by Farage firstly and Keir Starmer should stand up for the women in his party.
Just proves what I've always thought of Reform as a bunch of bullies.

Farage said "“If there is the odd lapse in taste, then I regret it, but it’s kind of called politics.”

I don't know how long the tents were up, but I think the police should have been called in to at least take it all down. They were put up before the elections, of course, its a shame the national press didn't catch onto it then.

Believe me if a cow injures someone, its beef burgers soon, keeping an aggressive cow is a very bad idea.

It’s the same abuse as calling a man a Fat Pig or a Dirty Dog, by commonly heard obscenities today a fairly mild insult.

Mansplaining? Or just being provocative? This relates to cloaked threats of violence specifically addressed to women.

If the people who put up the display had wanted to critique the government it would have had both male and female leading figures, wouldnt it.

I know the sign was meaning their days were numbered politically but it was a crass and horrible thing to do.Won’t make friends or influence people, just the opposite so the joke is on them.

I would like to think so Oreo.

Sadly, I believe there are those in society who will find it funny / banter / deserved🤬 And those of us calling it out for the disgrace that it is … well, we’re tofu eating, lefty wokerati (I’m fine with that, apart from the tofu🤣).

It would indeed with fat pigs and dirty dogs labelled with the names of male politicians and the pigs on the way to the abattoir with the cows and the dogs off to the vets. But that was not the choice that Reform made.

Presumably this display has now been removed?

Farage cronies showing their true colours. Disgraceful.

It is only a few more easy steps from "banter" about extreme violence to all campaigning and voting being at open hustings where candidates of the opposing party arm showered with rotten fruit and eggs, and to voting being a public spectacle where your neighbours choice can be noted and if you disagee with it you can follow them home and administer suitable punishment.

Are showered, not arm showered.

And this is the party that Dominic Cummings [remember him?] is saying will be the government of this country in a few years time. Heaven help us....

Or misandry on your part

We will have plenty of opportunities to call them out, and keep them out.

And how is Wyllow's post misandry?

I doubt they think as deeply as some on here think they do. Just a stupid and puerile attempt at ‘humour’ without giving much thought to the response of others.
