Quote from: marty34 on June 26, 2024, 04:12:25 PMI thought, by the recent chat, that Reform would beat the Tory party into 2nd place.

I think Farage's comments last weekend about Putin and Ukraine have actually stalled Reform's progress.

These comments are not new from Farage, he followed them straight from the Trump playbook and has been on record with this type of sh*t before now.

They generally work but I am not sure he's read the room on this one. You almost wonder is he happier being runner up.

When someone tells you who they are the first time, believe them.

Farage was always a stooge for Putin, follow the money.

That other Brexiteer guy Aaron Banks is seriously dodgy.

Channel 4 did a good expose on Reform last night.  Racist and homophobic was a constant theme.

I just read that Farage was never elected as a MP.

He was parachuted in this time, after a lad was already picked and spent £6k of his own money on PR and election material etc.  He was told step aside, we'll refund you and we'll give you a key role in the campaign and set you up with a handy number basicalky after the election...if you mske no fuss.

What happened?  He made a statement saying he supported Farage etc. stepped aside but has been sidelined ever since. Standing as an independent now.

Reform are are getting rid of a guy for saying they should use the refuges coming over in the boats as target practice.. These lads seem friendly enough

Farage is a bad man and I don't think there's any other way to put it. Creates division and then thrives on the repercussions of it.

I would doubt he believes anything that comes out of his mouth.

A set-up. Channel 4 employed an actor to pose as a Reform party worker. Scandalous, really. Mainstream media completely discredited.

Think you'll find that guy was an actor but also a fantasist and channel four didn't pay him and Reform didn't vet him either.

Unless you've evidence he was paid by channel four though

Fair enough, I can't prove he was paid, but it was almost certainly orchestrated.

I would say that I could believe both sides to this, it just depends which narrative you believe

I find it very unlikely that channel 4 did this.

Anyone who might have done this needs to have a look at themselves because reform do enough to discredit themselves without needing any plants. This is the party where one of their head men said they should let illegal immigrants drown in the channel. (Ben habib).
