It's genuinely disturbing to see what used to be the rhetoric of the far right being now normalised.

Tropes once reserved for the NF and BNP parroted by first UKIP, then 'Brexit Party' and now 'Reform' supporters.

The common denominator obvious to all.

Worse still, it's all too often given licence by the Tories and Mail-esque media. Their weaponisation of immigration, asylum and LGBTQ issues. Not just intellectual tyrannosaurs like Anderson and Gullis, but front line politicians such as the Braverman rebuked by a Holocaust survivor for her nineteen thirties style invective.

And, of course, the Badenoch ironically titled 'Minister for Equality'.

Then the evidence of these very pages reveals a full panoply of prejudice being casually excused as "opinions".

Or playground standard attempts to misuse the term 'bigot'.

Well the law of the land states otherwise. It's not freedom of speech or in any way courageous to use racially or sexually disparaging terms - as so often claimed by those bleating 'We're being cancelled' victimhood - it's illegal. The 'P' word. The 'N' word. Equating being gay with sex crimes.

All peddled in public by characters following Farage's latest vanity vehicle.

Who obviously think it's attractive to those prepared to vote that way.

Thankfully feedback suggest Mr 'Eighth Time Lucky' is falling in the polls as a result of his pro Putin comments. We can only hope the moral majority in Clacton tell him to "shut up" and ensure his Parliamentary ambitions "don't exist anymore" on July fourth...

It?s not very often I join forces to condemn but the language used today against Sunak was vile and should be pursued by the law.Hurtful to the PM and wider public. No place for it.

Bigot, the word only the left can use.

Strange comment.

You?ve spent 4 years hating everything and everybody on here (except Boris Jonson and Farage and Trump).

Someone?s radicalised you

Full on establishment attack on Reform going on

Certainly been a bad cpl of days after the falllout over Farages comments re Ukraine, where he was only stating his opinion, and from a platform of experience, an opinion I disagree with btw, but I accept his entitlement to it rather than get on my high horse and condemn anyone that dares disagree with my view..just to clarify for future reference I disagree with Farages comments over the Ukraine war..hope that?s clear.
Likewise the so called supporters who turned up and were filmed spouting blatantly racist comments, I hope they face the consequences of their actions. Farage has immediately told them they arnt wanted supporting his party. Decisive action.
Bigots on all sides.

Reform - run by wealthy ex public school boys and ex bankers - trying to win votes of the most underclass and stupid of our society, pandering to their ignorance and hatred of difference ( colour, creed, sexuality( - when the difference that matters is the wealth of the Reform leaders to its voters.

Remember the enemy doesn?t come by boat it comes by limousine

Is there any reason why you coupled underclass and stupid together?

Are you suggesting someone of lower class is stupid?

Valley Blues, on 28 June 2024 - 09:45 PM, said:

It?s a common trend on this part of forum. Anyone who doesn?t vote Labour, dares vote Tory or even worse, and those want banishing to hell, vote Reform.
All of them are supporting liars, cheats, racists, they?re the lowest of the low, they?re disgusting, and the diatribe posts barely disguise the contempt of the poster. Like I said there?s no bigger bigots than left wing bigots.
Thankfully I don?t feel the need to conform to those who spout from the high horse. Ill just exercise my democratic right to vote for who I like, or not as the case may be and smile inwardly at their bewilderment that someone can disagree with them.

What about the ring wing ones who call people pak*s?

 Valley Blues, on 28 June 2024 - 09:45 PM, said:

No - I consider myself totally working class = underclass in their eyes

Disgusting racists. I?d never say otherwise. So don?t try the shaming angle, and how’s this for a quote….you’re better than that…..leave that to the expert!

Maybe racists, Islamaphobes, Anti-Semites, homophones etc etc?

 Mr Mercury, on 28 June 2024 - 10:06 PM, said:

But there?s no bigot like a left wing bigot?

Goku, on 28 June 2024 - 10:11 PM, said:

No I don?t think there is, what?s your point?

Goku, on 28 June 2024 - 10:11 PM, said:

Sorry l.but it?s no bigger bigot than a left wing bigot.

 Mr Mercury, on 28 June 2024 - 10:13 PM, said:

Well put it this way. There aren?t many left wingers who would call my missus a paki. I know for a fact a lot of right wingers would, as evidenced today.

Well you had Labour Party members at the local elections calling Israelites antisemitic names, these were Labour Party members not people who turned up to volenteer without vetting.
