Reform UK’s Councillor Mackenzie Ritson on Rossendale Borough Council has had a bit of a Facebook meltdown, claiming ‘the establishment are trying to silence me’.

The truth? He got an email from the council reminding him of the Council code of conduct saying:

You can’t make shit up in the chamber.

It is 100 days since Reform took control of ten councils. In that time they have taken down one flag, refused diversity training, put a 19 year old in charge of a £2bn council and created a 'DOLGE' group that made false claims and achieved fuck all.

EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NEWSPAPERS

POWDER KEG UK ABOUT TO BLOW UP AS BRITAIN STANDS ON THE BRINK OF THE WHOLE NATION DESCENDING INTO CIVIL WAR

by Our Apocalypse Staff
HELENA HANDCART

THE entire country has turned into a tinderbox, one spark and the whole thing could turn into a raging inferno of hatred and violence. All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode.
It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services,
not to
mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed).
Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that... (cont. for entire summer).

No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.

And the media never mention that the Tory government closed down safe routes for asylum seekers and did zilch to process the applications of thousands of refugees. This problem is further exacerbated by Brexit which ended UK access to the Dublin agreement

Support for hardline anti-immigration policies linked to ignorance about migration figures, poll suggests – as it happened Almost half of voters either strongly or somewhat support ‘admitting no more new migrants and requiring large numbers who came in recent years to leave’, says YouGov

To avoid fascism, UK must stop the r/wing rot and support independent, truthful media.

A great example of how perception is reality. Unless you live in Gotham City, it’s actually hard for the average person to tell how much the overall crime rate is changing.

So it then depends on how much they hear about it in the media they consume, including social media.

NHS doesn't need more money - it will be wasted on bureaucracy, says Reform UK Reform deputy leader Richard Tice also wants the health service to buy 'millions more' operations, scans and consultations from private healthcare

What a load of absolute nonsense from Reform.

The crimes behind Reform How I uncovered a network of new crimes involving Nigel Farage's most loyal financier. It could severely damage Farage.

Read this. Repost it. Ram it down every throat that ever bought Farage’s bullshit. Send it to your mates, your nan, your MP - this could blow the whole rotten Reform racket to hell. Farage isn’t a leader - he’s a conman in a blazer, and his empire’s about to crumble.

Public asked to identify 40 faces pictured at last year’s UK summer riots Police hope new webpage will help them track down people suspected of violent disorder across England

Good. There should be no place for mindless violence.

I put it to Sarah Pochin she behaved as if she wanted a repeat of last summer’s riots.

The Reform MP was silent in response.

No one should be encouraging this shameful violence, especially MPs.

One Woman, Two Protests, Zero Postcodes in Common: Tommy Robinson associate claims to be ‘concerned local resident’ Yesterday, former academic turned Reform UK cheerleader, Matt Goodwin tweeted a clip from the recent anti-migrant protest at the Barbican in London.  “Why are you...

“This is my local community. I’m worried about my children.”

That’s what a woman told GB News at the anti-migrant protest at the Barbican in London.

Problem is, she said the same thing at a protest in Epping days earlier. 🤦 ❌
