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.

West Midlands Police said that they have seen the footage but they haven't received a complaint. They have appealed to the woman to come forward so that they can investigate.

They also confirmed that there was no involvement from counter terrorism police, or indeed from any police, in the decision to delay Nigel Farage's speech yesterday. So that was also a lie.

That footage is shocking. What isn't shocking is that they lied, yet again, about receiving advice from counter terrorism!

This is an interesting post.

The poster seems eager to support Reform UK, who love to bang on about free speech, and yet she apparently lacks any understanding of what free speech actually is.

It is concerning that our democracy is dependent on people with very limited understanding of basic concepts.

I'm flattered to learn that Mrs Bennet believes that free speech is dependent on me, I never knew I wielded so much power !
Thanks Mrs Bennett, BTW are your 5 daughters married off yet?
I note you have been described by Miss Austen as as a woman of "mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper".....What more can I say ?

There’s a separate thread where you can post on about what’s happening in Dover.

But the fact is, once again you don’t seem to be all that familiar with the customs and laws of our country.

Yes, the UK has a proud history of protecting the freedom to protest (for example the right to heckle a politician at a party conference). But when it comes to large scale public protest, our law are very clear - protestors need to pre-notify the police, and follow agreed routes, and are not allowed to block critical infrastructure.

So, while those who organised the pro-Palestine matches clearly understood and followed the laws of this country, the masked thugs blocking the country’s busiest ferry port clearly do not.

Edited

Strange that the people who like to bang on about double standards and "two-tier" justice are so outraged by a perfectly legal and peaceful political protest by a young woman at a Reform conference while apparently being supportive of a large scale protest by masked men which has failed to comply with basic legal requirements.

It’s astonishingly cynical what they’re doing and tragic that so many people fall for it.

I’m glad all the freedom to protest advocates support the protesters at Dover today.

So you're glad that people are stuck in terrible traffic queues with no toilet facilities and that many women have reported feeling scared and trapped?

The thugs, dressed up in black uniform and masked, are intimidating and causing chaos. Plus they are stopping the wrong boats.

Erm, I don't believe that free speech is dependant on you at all. What I said is that it is concerning that our democracy is dependant on voters who clearly have very little understanding of basic concepts such as free speech.

I wish there could be more scrutiny about the blatant lies about counter terrorist police etc. The trouble is, Reform is mired in so much shit that the journalists don't even know where to start. They can't possibly question them about everything.

I'm not sure how they can stop any boats, seeing as they are on dry land ?!

We will see more of this because people are not being listened to by the Government and are taking matters into their own hands.

She has done an interview with LBC

She is a paid up Reform member and this was the second time she heckled Farage, they didn't take away her membership after the first time but they did ask her to become a councillor.

They should have been arrested immediately.
But that’s freedom to protest.

So you support vigilantes? People who act outside the jurisdiction of the law.

So are we saying that the coin operated frog was actually haranguing one of his own supporters?! That’s pretty embarrassing. Reform really is a circus.

My quote was attributed to the obsequious and odious Mr Collins. Pride and Prejudice.

Just a perfect description of a Reform supporter.

Eta. You are certainly describing the baying mob when the reform member (screamer) who was violently removed from the conference.

I know, I've read it.
OK that's your opinion.

Even Jenrick has just come out and condemned the Dover protests. I think it’s too toxic even for Reform.

Read back what you just quoted. I said it was concerning that our democracy is dependant on people (plural) who do not have an understanding of basic concepts such as free speech.

I said nothing about free speech being dependant on you.

I would like to add that it is also concerning that our democracy depends on people who lack basic reading comprehension skills.
