The Reform Thread

Because despite the fact that he's now been released without charge, the victim was a high-profile member of a divisive political party, and there exists a large subsection of society in this country who will automatically assume he must be a radicalised immigrant, and use that false assumption to have a rant about Islam / immigration in general.

There have been numerous examples of that on this very forum over the years.

Yeah but not even in the frame anymore.  For consistency then we should always be referring to skin colour of any suspect.

If there's a manhunt and a public description is issued, any identifiable feature should be mentioned - gender, age, height, build, colour, hair, etc. Seems an obvious thing to do. No point tip toeing around it to avoid offence.

I wonder if the police were premature yesterday in declaring they didn't think there was any political motivation in the attack? How would they have been able to come to that conclusion so soon anyway?

I suspect because of how the property was accessed eg if there was evidence of a break-in or one attempted. Also, she hadn’t really been truly frontline for many years. Controversial views yes, but having had the pleasure of meeting her she came across as someone would have the discussion, listen, and not take offence if someone else’s views were different to hers. I liked her. Very different to others in that party. 

Therefore, added to the very remote geographic location, it’s a stretch for it to be a disaffected asylum seeker or LGBT+ extremist. Not impossible of course and that will have to be factored into the investigation. But there’s not the convenience of a MP surgery that we saw with Cox and Amess. 

The fact she resolutely lived alone albeit with gardeners and cleaners - because you couldn’t manage a property like that on your own in your late 70s - sadly I’ve a feeling encouraged lowlifes to see her as a target. But I may be wrong.

Not sure what would be more funny, Farage losing his by- election or Binface winning and having to take a seat in parliament.

I’d be delighted with both although not sure the Binface could be worn all of the time in Parliament. It’d be brilliant if Burnham got a question when the Binface was worn though!

Just picturing MPs crossing the floor in the commons to join the Binface party.

No doubt Honest Bob Jenrick will already be brushing up his knowledge of bins and drafting his defection letter in readiness.

How could he possibly refuse?

Honestly, it’s just pathetic the number of grown men who say they’re going to actually go out and vote for this unfunny, attention seeking novelty act, who just wants to make parliament all about him, despite having no meaningful and well considered policies whatsoever. It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on against Binface.

Reform's candidate vetting procedures really work.

I don’t disagree with what Yusuf proposes here but I do disagree strongly that his own language hasn’t directly fuelled attacks and threats against Conservative and Labour politicians because we know that it has from SM. Throw the book at the person who posted about Farage being shot https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clyey3re402o

He needs to get in his own house in order before throwing stones at others. Manage his own language and behaviour. And Reform’s xenophobic language about other races, nationalities and backgrounds is also fuelling it. SM does the rest in terms of radicalising and recruiting across the spectrum. 

This should have been a seminal moment but we said that about Cox and Amess. Instead it’s become yet another culture war.
