Good. There is no place for these money laundering closet racists in our society.

I don't really think you can call them closet racists when it's this blatant. They're just ... racists.

Interesting that the Restore + Reform vote was less than the Labour vote too

Reform will only bring problems to British people.

Labour beat Reform in the Bury Moorside local election last night too!

Maybe the tide is finally turning and people are clueing up to how dodgy Reform are.

Hey, that's an unfairly reductive characterization! Reform isn't just about pure cold rage!

It's also about fear, drunken buffoonery, and exploiting the ignorance of reactionary idiots to further enrich ultra-rich people with no ideology of their own!
