Come up with decent policies and leave the racism to these nutters.
Their vileness warrants no response. Racist loonies that want to vote for them will do anyway.
Ask yourself, who are the puppet masters pulling the strings. Gone are the days when reporters wrote the truth most of the time. Self-regulation doesn't work, Ofcom is toothless, and Farage is rampant without a care in the world except self-interest.

For love of god can we just stop listening to anything they have to say. They represent nothing but inadequacy and failure. Surely our country can do better than this.
Ed Davey has had a word with BBC boss and hack Tim Davie about its Reform coverage.

We have the same problem over here in the UK with the Reform cult. Farage is a mini version of Trump. His followers swallow every word, despite the real facts staring them in the face.
