Letter sent to Nigel Farage by Patrick Sargent
Former Reform UK regional Chairman

He is surprised to find out that the limited company he joined:

• Has no democratic structure
• Is not a meritocracy
• Is a Farage vanity project
• Has no policies
• Is not a professional outfit

It is really quite simple. You can support Palestine without using the banned phrase Pal..tine Action. Why go to goal over a few words? The Unions get it.

Nadine Dorries clearly demonstrates that her new party Reform will continually spout narrow minded crap, and they are unfit to serve this country. This needs shouting loudly all over the country. The right wing media are trying their hardest to stitch us up with a Farage Govt. But they can F.Off!

Today Leeds followed our forebears who kicked Oswald Moseley and his Facists out of the city at the Battle of Holbeck Moor and stood up to racism, the far right and said loud and clear”Refugees are welcome here”. This is Leeds

Quite. For 40 years, I worked promoting equality & trying to eliminate discriminatory behaviour in the workplace & in our communities. Strove to help people understand each other's map of the world to foster understanding. Then the power-hungry Tories & slimy frog sowed their hatred. Bastards. 🤬

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Interesting @jonnelledge.bsky.social . I left Twitter & joined bsky when you still needed an invite. I wasn't seeing the people I followed & was getting stuff I didn't want. I was so pleased when the sudden mass migration to bsky happened. It's a good space now. Is X even relevant 🤔?

There are a heap of things Farage gets away with given insufficient scrutiny.

This for one.

Another is blatant racism.

A third is fossil fuel industry backers, which should be raised EVERY SINGLE TIME he says anything about the climate and climate initiatives.

Glad to see Nigel Farage has finally remembered Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales - found guilty of taking bribes from Russia.

Maybe he'll now remember how much he took from Putin's propaganda broadcaster Russia Today for all his TV appearances when he was a MEP?

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

This is what #ZackPolanski is so good at! Having the moral authority and courage to condemn atrocities across the board-without fear of being smeared as"racist, antisemitic, or"un-British😖!"

He just responds & rebuts the"rinse and repeat" #Establishment abuse and attacks-that destroyed #Corbyn!💪
