AIBU to stop therapy after learning my therapist’s husband is Reform?

How disgusting to use the murder of Henry Nowak to score points. So concerned about him you can’t even be bothered to spell his name correctly. The police handcuffing him was wrong, and should be properly investigated. It has nothing to do with racism or the left.

The country is already divided by the left. Farage is just addressing that on behalf of many of the electorate who see the damage the left have done. Henry Novak being a victim of that damage. So wonderful to see thread after thread calling for police brutality to end. No chance, he was white. That's before we even get to the reason why he was handcuffed and his punishment given precedence over the murderer who lied about being called a racist. Well done lefties for making that lie so easy now to shout and be automatically believed. Moral superiority is costing lives.

So much aggro in the replies here - I am guessing a lot from Reform voters, or people who think that racism is not a deal-breaker in any kind of relationship. I suspect you'd get very different replies if it was about a different political party or about political views which they object to.

Completely with you, OP - you need a minimum of common ground in therapy, and with both you and your therapist being from the EU, this is deeply personal.

Much as I'm not a fan of the bunch of Tory so called leaders we've had in the last decade, they aren't a party that is a Grift for a workshy anti-Semite and racist, with a uni policy idea of anti immigration. As if that would solve anything in this country.

Farage is a con man. His "party" is just his private business. He divides the country because it's so easy to get people to hate other people. Especially when they have nothing. What a toxic individual. I despise the normalisation of this. It has brought untold damage to the country.

How is it surprising? I said I was a single issue voter two parties both have shown exactly where they stand on this single issue and labour have come out wanting unless you can show that they aren’t wanting…?

Fair enough, if you’re comfortable with that. It’s surprising, given you’ve described yourself as a single issue voter, that you want to be challenged. But it takes all sorts 🤷‍♀️

As long as I wasn’t going for therapy about toilets - yes. In fact I think that being exposed to different opinions and being challenged in my views is esential

I don’t want an echo chamber least of all in therapy.

Would you not associate with a Tory because Tory party members have said racist things? And they have

I really wouldn't want to be treated by any professional who is that comfortable with racism. I really struggle with the normalisation of Reform and the racist grifters that run it.

Time to find another therapist.

Would you work with a therapist who didn’t believe in single sex spaces in schools?

That poster does what the left does best. She's patronising people of colour by saying Reform treat them as tokens. They are so busy trying to be morally superior to everyone else, they show their own bigotry quite often. Then again, if she's the poster who was equally as patronising about an incident on a bus, we shouldn't be surprised.

Probably sums it up better than I could. In fact I think I stand by every word of it.

Definitely not. Find someone who doesn't condone such inhumane treatment of others.

A failure of post-Brexit policy.

Again have EU nations who accepted refugees on mass benefited? Compare them to have staunchly opposed this.

That vile poster made me vote Remain, I was undecided before it appeared. I doubt I am unique in that response to it!

What's bad about the poster? Have the EU states who were very welcoming benefited?

Do the locals feel safer?

Much of their answer refers to victims of crime - otherwise they are directing you elsewhere;

We do not hold breakdowns of crime by asylum seeker or migrant status.
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are primarily responsible for data on offenders, prosecutions and convictions, and may be able to help you further with your enquiry...

What would be the reason for Tory and Labour governments not to publish this data if it is centrally collected? Why would consecutive governments want to "support a narrative"?

Refusing to associate oneself with one who supports a different political party is fascist
Keep em coming! Quite the comic aren't you?

That poster did huge harm. Ironically ( or was it) Bexit opened the doors to more immigration of the sort that is despised.

How so?

The person who referenced Lihou was you. He is not a victim, and no-one claimed he is

You certainly implied that Lihou was a victim up thread.

You stated that you had doubts if some ethnic minority people made allegations, but some defended him

No, I didn't - you have misrepresented my post.

None of your doubts seem particularly striking to me - despite your obvious investment in investigating the victims

I mostly googled the 'witnesses'.

One thing I did notice was a concerted effort by many to exaggerate Farage's age in their accounts - often by several years. A few others repeated hearsay.

We’re miles off topic now and I’m reminded of that saying about wrestling with pigs. Have a lovely evening.

I don't know why you came back - you had already announced you were not engaging with me further.

Oh, I like to monitor what's going on, yes. But I do it on my own terms and don't waste energy pretending that I think the racists might genuinely have a valid argument. Because I already know that they don't.

Why would ONS lie? Come on now, answer me that.

Eta: if there was some sort of conspiracy to cover up crime data by ethnicity etc. why would they not also deny collecting data on ethnicity and country of birth?
