Reform, and the death of the Tory Party

[Pross]

The BBC maintaining 'political neutrality' by not picking up or investigating any of these issues when ITV and C4 are doing so. Mason will no doubt provide some balance to the reporting of the issues uncovered.

When is the broadcast date of the whole hour long documantary?
I hope the public reaction is highly detrimental to Reform.

I find it quite funny/pitiful now with these senior Reform MPs and officials making statements about how robust Reform's vetting processes are when we are seeing it blatantly isn't.

Maybe they face a harder challenge than other parties but that is just because their policies align and appeal to those who hold these views.

It's just Trumpian blatant lying to our faces... remembering the interview where some Trump goon denied he'd said something *in the same interview* two minutes earlier, all on tape. Part of the reason is to desensitise everyone to the blatant lying. Once you don't care whether something is actually true or false, you are unable to differentiate between right and wrong.

I am proud of ITV and it's coverage of Reform as well as the tone and manner of the Ukraine news. The BBC in it's apparent neutrality is well, actually questionable.
...and we pay a license fee?!

Any implications of the potential compromise to our democracy - whether through bias in political funding or detrimental political change for me, requires reporting.
Withdrawal from the UNHCR presents opportunities for fascistic action such as that in the USA for example and a fleeting comment by the BBC which has not delved into the implications, is not neutrality, it is a dereliction of duty.

Part of the license fee goes to ITN I think.

But yes the BBC has so tied itself upnin impartiality as to over represent minority and often extreme positions. But it is still pretty much the best there is.

I think it was 19:30 on 14 October but I just did a search on ITVX and didn't find it. There are a few news clips of around 11 mins on the website but not the whole programme. The follow up broadcast details are below:

It's being broadcast again on the 18th, so it might make an appearance on ITVX then.

I see the right-wing apologists fascists are claiming that a similar sting on any other party would uncover the same racism and misogyny. Cos we are all like that in private, aren't we.

Well, until 2025 when he left, the Tories were, at least.

Says a lot about the person making the claim.

It's always the ones you least expect.

Time for Jenrick to do another round of whataboutery interviews, and for Nigel to suggest they were both consenting adults and anyway its nothing to do with me.

 

[UglyWithaSidePart]

Is anyone keeping track of everything at reform? The resignations, the criminal acts, the racism? Every day there's something new, we need a blog on it.

 

[First Aspect]

We should start a forum thread about reform, and the death of the tory Party.

Or a new one called ‘oversight and the death of Reform’. It’s amazing how it’s unraveling since elements of the media decided to actually scratch the surface. They’ve been given far too much respect previously. As their supporters used to be fond of saying ‘questions must be asked’.
