Tax credit benefit , rent paid trash no doubt. Labour will give ever more to them to breed the next, even worse feral clones to ruin the lives of the next generation. Vote Reform or regret it forever
So voting in racist, homophobic and islamophobic politicians is the way forward is it? I think not.
Lmao, channel 4 got caught planting actors to portray Reform as racist, dont fall for the psyop
Nigel has booted some of these types out of his party. They weren’t actors. They actually believe the hatred the spew out.
This is the way
Same way Labour treated the Jews
I presume you have evidence to back up your slanderous allegation that our local reform candidates are racist, homophobic and Islamophobic?
Or are you referring to the three candidates from other areas that have been dropped by reform after the reports of their comments appeared?
Or possibly you are referring to the members of other parties that have been censured for similar behaviour? (also not ours)
Or the ones being investigated by the gambling commission? (again not ours)
There’s an old saying that you can tell when a politician is being dishonest because their lips are moving.
So, please, vote for a candidate based on policies, facts and commitment to the island and its communities; not on innuendo and rumour.
White socks and sandals!
Arrest him that’s an offence on its own.
Socks and sandals , it’s not my grandad is it ?
