To share this fantastic documentary exposing Reform for the crooks and traitors that they really are. Thank you for sharing @ihateboris

I'd recommend watching it to the end.

Reality is that Reform are a shambles. Their funding is problematic, administration chaotic, most of their policies are unworkable and their PR seems to be a disaster. The “top team” don’t seem to be capable of sticking to a party line on anything. None of this is surprising given that Reform is a fairly new political entity, but it shows that they’re not ready for government. Even worse, the boat crossings are reducing and the tories are rebuilding. It’s very hard to see Reform forming a government and, even if they did, they’ll not have the size of majority they’d need to enact what they’re proposing.

Were you there? Because if you weren't you don't know that she didn't assault anyone.

A room full of Reform supporters and not one single person managed to catch video footage of this woman's assault on defenseless pensioners?

Farage watching on from the stage, laughing while a protesters violently assaulted his innocent supporters?

No condemnation of this violent assault by Reform leaders? No videos on social media?

Nah, I'm not buying it.

Why?
Why would they preempt a legal enquiry?

What legal enquiry?

The press attending also didn't mention anything about protesters being violent.

They did repeat the counter terrorism advice lie.

Just go away and stop pestering me. I'm not answerable to you and don't have to respond to your bullying.
The only people I am answerable to is the Police.

Asking a perfectly reasonable question is not pestering you or bullying you. I'm merely asking you to clarify your point.

I understand that it might feel like pestering you if I'm asking questions that you aren't capable of answering. And that's OK, you don't have to answer anything if the questions are stressful for you.

But you don't get to tell me to go away. This is a public forum and I am not breaking any of the talk guidelines. I am entitled to ask whatever questions I like. You are entitled to ignore the questions that you don't want to answer. That's how this works.

If you find that this thread is getting a bit overwhelming, then you can step away. If you feel that I've broken talk guidelines, then you can report my posts. But I don't think MNHQ will delete my post for asking a perfectly valid question within the context of a debate.

Unfortunately for you, you don't get to tell me to go away.

A figment of her imagination. A bit like Nigel Farage's legal advice.

I don't have to prove anything.

If there was any proof, Reform would have published it all over their SM

Were you?

I have seen the footage. None of the protesters were violent.

But if you were there and seen anything different then do tell.

And if you saw this particular incident, you might want to talk to Midlands Police.

If I had anything to tell, I certainly wouldn't air it on a forum.

Oh, are the police investigating you as well?

Oh wouldn't you like to know ?!

Florenceeiderduck · 05/09/2026 13:27

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 05/09/2026 13:23

Video footage or it didn't happen.

Are you working with the police now?

You're right. Free speech does absolutely have boundaries. It is good to see a Reform supporter (which you clearly are, despite the protestations) acknowledging this.

People are not, for example, permitted to incite violence. For obvious reasons.

Peaceful political protest is, however, allowed. Again, for obvious reasons.

Please could you clarify exactly which law you think the female protestor may have broken when heckling Farage? From my perspective, it looks like she was simply exercising her democratic right to free speech. You seem to be suggesting that she didn't have the right to protest in that way, so I am wondering if you could please clarify the legal reasoning behind this judgement?

Either way, will you condemn the older people who assaulted her?

She’s just making stuff up!

it’s quite funny to read but it’s just a dedicated attempt to deflect from the dodgy finances.

It does rather specifically mean you can criticise politicians wherever and whenever you like without being silenced…

No it doesn't. If people want to listen to something in a cinema/show/conference/lecture whatever, it is good manners to keep quiet.
But then I've never known Lefties be famous for good manners so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

Free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you like, whenever you like and to whoever you like.

And my political affiliations are not your concern.

@MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack But as a group, I would absolutely find a bunch of Reform supporters far more frightening than a bunch of asylum seekers.

So how would you know they were Reform supporters if you met them in the street ?

How would you know someone was an asylum seeker if you met them in the street?

Florenceeiderduck · 05/09/2026 13:13

Then she's at the wrong conference. Must've missed her stop on the train. It just shows she's a bit thick like most Lovvey Lefties.

Are you saying explicitly that Redorm aren't part of the democratic tradition? That they don’t want to uphold those democratic pillars like the freedom to criticise politicians?
