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.

I think somehow we need to show these people that Reform probably don't actually care about foreigners. They're just a scapegoat. They need to realise the reason why their lives are shit, are because of people like these donating to Reform. The very wealthy who hoover up the wealth and property etc. We need to somehow get through to Reform voters that they're being played to enrich the already wealthy elite around the globe. Same with Trump. It was never about helping their voters. How we make them see that they're pawns I don't know, but we need to try...

We can't. Hard core Reform supporters typically hate 'the left' with a passion. They think that left wing parties and their supporters are in cohoots to let in loads more immigrants, trash the economy (whatever they believe that means) and introduce all sorts of middle class wokery that wastes money they could be getting. They believe they are the victims of snobbery, looked down on as stupid, and see any attempts to 'show them' anything as examples of this.
Those who have soft support for Reform may be disauaded by what they've seen. But the die hards will dig in or turn to Restore.

Thank you for sharing, OP. I hope that there is now a full police investigation.

I don't suppose Reform voters will care though.

Sadly, you're probably right with regard to the hard core supporters.

Yay. You're here to defend and distract. Quick point at other parties. Some whataboutery, false equivalence, that'll help my team.

They never actually defend their side, because they're indefensible, it's always just whataboutery! Or they claim it's a stitch up by the big bad establishment.

Or they'll fill the thread with links that are only tangentially relevant and claim the parties are all the same.

It's tedious

Reform are terrible but sadly I think their “supporters” won’t care because “foreigners”. 🤦‍♀️

According to the investigation, their supporters ARE foreigners...

YouTube video at 10:29 mins:
C4 narrator: Orr claims the party is cash-strapped.
James Orr: We just don't have British resident donors, British entities that would support us. That's the grim reality.

Beepen · 04/09/2026 00:20

Yanbu. It's deeply horrifying (and yet unsurprising)

Beepen · 04/09/2026 00:22

And it really alarms me that reform paid (via a third party) for a polling company to create the poll results they wanted in order to put pressure on the government

That polling company is seriously corrupt too

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 04/09/2026 00:23

Watched it and really hope it does the trick

When it comes to Reform, the left is anyone they're told to hate on that particular day.🤷‍♀️

Middle class
Working class
Metropolitan elite
Disabled people
Global elite
Black people
Muslims
Jews
Immigrants
Women

It's all a load of shite profiting at least one🤔 Limited Company, at the expense of the UK.

Fucking Traitors!😡😡😡

Genuinely amused that you're trying to pretend Reform voters (or indeed many voters) have a detailed knowledge of the financial arrangements of every party, and have applied an assessment and decided that of them all Reform show the greatest integrity. I mean, that really is funny.
You know well that every time Reform is exposed as corrupt, racist, anti semetic, idle and incompetent, there's tumble weed for a while (like this thread) while their supporters await the latest lie or weak comparator with another party to spread.

Yes, most voters don't know the intricacies of party political funding. Reform voters are one of the least, if not the least educated, voter base in the UK - I'm not exaggerating. They're hardly going to be on top of these issues.

Two senior officials resigned, Farage staying, despite being in the meetings. It's almost like they know it's a personality cult and would fail without him

The party has launched an investigation after undercover filming by the broadcaster.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Reform is not a genuine political party. It's a money-making exercise for Farage and his cronies, dressed up as a political party.

There will never be a PM Nigel Farage. He doesn't want the job. He'd be too restricted and under too much scrutiny. If the moment ever comes where it looks like Reform are in with a real chance of winning an imminent general election, you just watch him step down "to pursue other interests" or "to avoid distractions from our worthy cause".

He's been engaged in the same grifting and con-artist tricks for 30 years.

Farage will never be in that position. Even at their peak when they hoovered protest votes, there was never enough people who wanted him in the role. Even paying for fake opinion polls didn't show them having a realistic chance of forming a majority government.
Its all been a lot of noise, smoke and mirrors to push mainstream politics further right at the direction of their pay masters, under threat of a Reform government, which was never a realistic prospect.

Quick distract from Reform doing illegal things. Point at other parties. Mention illegal immigrants and rapists.

As a card carrying leftie, I'll gladly condemn a rapist of any creed or colour. What I take exception to is tarring every male asylum seeker of a certain skin colour a rapist by default! Is every priest or wealthy white businessman a paedophile? No, so why when there is plenty of evidence of men in both groups being complicit in those crimes do we not tar every one of them with the same brush.

Please, as per usual, defend your case @LuckyHazelFox tell us why Farage and his cronies aren't corrupt?

I agree that up until this point their support has been noisy but shallow and not entrenched enough to actually force them first past the post in a general election. But politics is a strange beast - never say never!

I condemn all rapists, whether they happen to be asylum seekers or not. There is nothing remotely racist about condemning someone for a crime that they have committed, regardless of their ethnicity, nationality or immigration status. And I don't know any "lefties" that would disagree with this.

What many of us do disagree with are the racist attempts to conflate "asylum seekers" with "rapists" as if they are one and the same thing.

I hope that clears up any misunderstanding for you. Now, shall we put the whataboutery to bed and get back to the actual subject of this thread, which is the exposure of what appears to be criminal behaviour by Nigel Farage and Reform UK?

TemperanceWest · 04/09/2026 08:39

Oh, the attempts at distraction are pathetic.

It is all unravelling nicely. Reform's core supporters won't be put off, but those less fanatical might drift away and those who were thinking they might vote Reform might think again.

Farage will never be PM.
