The epitome of two tier justice...

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news...minals-David-Lammy.html#

A racist report by a Ghanaian who is now the Foreign Secretary, a Saudi Arabian Justice Secretary who claims she wasn't aware of the proposals, an unenelected quango which seems to be a law unto itself, a leader of the opposition who is Nigerian, who is at least making the right noises, and a shadow justice Secretary who is doing all the real leg work campaigning against these outrageous anti-white and anti-christian policies.

What a very strange country the UK has become in such a short period of time.

Never mind... let's all focus on the US government!!

Jonathan Friend (for it is he) has been remarkably quiet on the big UK political news story of the day (not reported on Guido of course)

It's been reported by trustworthy mainstream media that Jonathan's hero, the repulsive far right cartoon figure Rupert Lowe, has been reported to the police for alleged threats of physical violence against the Reform party’s chair Zia Yusuf

Chief whip and Thunderbirds puppet Lee Anderson and Yusuf said Lowe had on at least two occasions threatened violence against the latter and that the matter was “now with the police”.

The party is divided and in chaos with Reform withdrawing the whip from Lowe and the party also appointing an independent King’s Counsel to investigate complaints from two female employees who accused Lowe of bullying.

Poor Jonathan. The Reform infighting, coupled with Trump's increasingly erratic behaviour, and a US economy and stockmarket on the brink of a severe downturn, it's not been a good week at the bottom of the rabbit hole

Robert Dunce didn't notice that the shenanigans within Reform were reported twice on the Guido blog yesterday. Obviously too busy fantasising about this Jonathan fellow who he keeps mentioning...

Also, why am I obliged to report that? Can't you do that yourself and comment on it without demanding others do so, you lazy commie? I did enjoy your post though to be fair, quite amusing. Myself and other Reform supporters refer to Anderson as "30p Lee" by the way - which Thunderbirds character does he remind you of!?

MPs do leave parties or get kicked out of them. Have Labour removed the whip from the thug from Runcorn and Helsby yet? The one who beat a constituent to the ground and then got a suspended sentence in our two tier justice system? I see it works in favour of political as well as other minorities... There was the female MP who left the Labour Party early on in this awful government, appalled by the conduct of Sir Kneel. There may have been more, including from other parties, although most of those, including the Tories, are such irrelevant and forgettable entities that it hardly seems worth noticing.

As for Rupert Lowe - it appears to me that he has been purged. I don't believe the allegations made against him and it seems a remarkable coincidence that he recently mispoke about Farage and the way the party is being run. That said, it could be the other way round? I did notice that he was becoming more and more popular and outspoken, perhaps too much for Farage to deal with. Farage doesn't seem to tolerate being challenged, but perhaps it is that he is trying to walk a tight rope between not upsetting the Blob and mainstream media, whilst remaining an alternative to the dreadful Uniparty? I personally think it is a good thing for political parties to debate openly, within reason. It seems a little suspect for them all to agree about everything.

I like Lowe - he has the right ideas, is in tune with the general public, and is a clear and honest communicator. A businessman and a patriot more than a politician. Common sense intact. In other words, a breath of fresh air. I have my doubts about Farage and have said so before. Again, he might be in a tight spot playing a difficult game and will come good, but he might also just be the usual establishment stooge and envisages a life of cosy interviews on the Today programme and for Reform to be controlled opposition. In other words, Uniparty Light Blue. Having said that, he deserves a lot of credit for where Reform is in such a short space of of time, even leading in the polls.

I think we need a party and administration that is more like the new US one. One that will take firm action to fix the numerous problems facing us. It will be disappointing if Reform fails to meet that challenge as the good people of this country deserve a different option to the utter shite delivered up over the past thirty years by the two party system. Then again, there's still probably four years of this Labour dross and a lot can happen in that time. I still think Farage and Reform are better than the alternatives and will continue voting for them for now. If I lived in Lowe's constituency though, I would vote for him specifically, regardless of affiliation.

We need more people like him in Parliament, as opposed to all the Labour, Tory and other drones who seem to be little more than career politicians, playing the game for the money, goodies, freebies and connections.

Ps. Robert, note how I am able to speak objectively, openly and honestly about Reform, which I am a member of? Not what your programming expected I suppose...

As usual, I planted my tomato seeds a couple of weeks ago. I’ve had to pot them on today.

Usually, they germinate and take a while more to get going.

This has got to be your funniest post yet RB. Keep them coming it cheers everyone up
There are so many laughable suggestions
Of course none of the 5 reform MPs or should I say 4 plus 1 are in it for themselves
This is also true of lots of MPs from other parties

Anyway my tomato seeds have just germinated so off to prick them out on a day when the koi are at the top of the pond basking in the sun

Similar instincts to those expressed by myself and others.

That this country seems to be endlessly distracted by nonsense and foreign affairs whilst our own house falls to bits.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MvVhtMtiVBI

The latest thing being some narcissistic cretin who has climbed up big ben and displayed that flag which most of us do not care to see. Wasting the resources of the emergency services and causing gridlock in central London as all the usual baboons crowd in.

To be very tired of all this irrelevant nonsense and to observe that it is to the detriment of the national interest and well being of the people here, who experience ever higher taxes, failing services, and a sense of precipitous decline, seems to accord with common sense. And yet, here we are. Again.

I think his suggestion that these issues become more apparent in a multi cultural society is an interesting one.

I don’t understand why we don’t just leave these ‘narcissistic cretins' to stew and send them a bill for the service of getting them down (to be paid in advance). Same with those who glue themselves to the roads.
