Reform, and the death of the Tory Party

[monkers]

This week we have had Farage who appears to believe he has trademark or copyright over his first name. Farage also fails to understand the meaning of 'incitement' as a means to cause excitement of third parties to commit illegal acts. The exact difference between Polanski's 'error' and the act of Lucy Connolly.

Barry Ashley, a Hastings cafe owner, has been serving 70 free meals per day to hungry children. This since families not having the means to pay following the Reform led County Council decision to end a voucher scheme.

Andy Woolley the Reform head of East Sussex County Council is angered by fair criticism of policy that included mention of his name. He has threatened to report them to police.

Just to remind, freedom of expression was never about permission to act cruelly towards one another, but the freedom to speak truth to power.

Again we see the right wing inverting human rights in order to attack the people they are elected to defend; instead attempting to insulate themselves from the right to call out the abuses of those in authority.

He struggles to get the head on without help

On reflection, are you sure that that doesn't apply to Farage as well?

Honestly, what a snowflake.

Does he not understand that when you are the leader of something, that you take the responsibility for the decisions? I imagine that the police will be telling him to go away and do something useful with his time.

He's also clearly too stupid to realise that if the Police *did* take action, the outcome for him would be even worse.

Mr Woolley wrote: "Your continued naming of me personally has led to an increase in online abuse of me personally and has now reached a point where you could be responsible for inciting hate and potential violence against me, a political official, and members of my family. You of all people should be aware of the increased sensitivity of these sorts of posts since the sad murder of Ann Widdecombe.”

I think he is on the wrong job if he can’t take criticism.

Also, it looks like Reform are going to get a lot of mileage out of Ann Widecombe’s murder.

I do wonder if they do the "We are evil bastards" act a bit too much, sometimes. I mean, I can't imagine that every Reform councillor is as much of an arsehole as this... but what do I know?

It seems to be a requirement for Reform. Farage, Tice, Goodwin - none of them can take any criticism.

Luckily they never do anything worthy of criticism then. Oh...

Ironically.

I am offended, upset, insulted at least thirty times a day — tough! Celeste upset me, Celeste wounded me, Celeste has caused me trauma. She poured scorn on my Paso Doble. And does she realise that in fifteen years’ time I am still going to be traumatized, and I am going to form a movement, #MeTooDancers, who were insulted at the Oxford Union? Oh, come on! Nobody has the right to live their lives being protected from offence, or from insult, or from hurt feelings. It is an occupational hazard of living in society, and if you really can’t take it, become a hermit.

Ann Widdecombe.

Ironically.

Of course the other guy that has the same attitude is Donald Jessica Trump...

There's a pattern emerging here...

Yes, but the pattern is only evident to those with their minds open to truth.

I'm sorry to bang on about this folks, but in the case of Reform, they don't only seek insulation from criticism, they want immunity from accountability.

And to go a bit Gary Delaney here, ''what boils my piss'' other than ''hotel kettles'', is politicians whining, deflecting, distracting and projecting when being challenged for their corruption.

I don't think you'll get much* argument here.

*Yeah, I know.

Has anybody actually seen the offending t-shirt? A quick search only brought up this, which is far from outrageous IMO, so I wondered whether the actual shirt had an identifiable Farage image.

 

[Pross]

I would say it's obvious who it is aimed at but it's a huge stretch to argue it's an incitement to violence rather than a fairly tasteless joke. However, there is massive irony that the person complaining about it has been a staunch defender of someone who made calls for setting fire to migrant hotels to the extent of giving her a platform at events.

And he himself incited the riots after the sentencing of the murderer of Henry Nowak.
