Reform: Stop hiding from press scrutiny!

For the US, Canada is the geopolitical equivalent of Ned Flanders. Sanguine, neighbourly, generous, basically impossible to annoy.

The problem is less how much media covers reform, more that it covers them on THEIR terms.

It’s about Muslims & boats & boats & boats.

Never ever are they challenged on their desire to scrap the NHS or their economic policy (or lack thereof).

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds
