Do some reform voters not realise what the definition of racism is?

Is anybody else listening to LBC right now? On a particular show? I have just heard a lady say I’m going to vote reform I am not racist but on a recent visit to my friend in hospital in London there was too many brown faces about I didn’t see any white people that’s why I am voting reform but I am not racist.
Seriously, are these people absolutely deluded because I’d have more respect for them if they actually openly admitted they were racist

"Or transphobia- though if I were to hold my hand up to any of them, that’s the one I’m closest to."

But well done in acknowledging your transphobia.

First we need to know the definition of phobia. Because not everyone who disagree with LGBT,Muslims, Migrants etc are homophobic or islamophobic

This person's evaluation of why they are voting reform does sound racist. That doesn't mean all people voting REFORM are racist. We just want our borders controlled, british people considered FIRST & tax payers money not being wasted on hotels for illegal migrants!! VOTE REFORM!

Reform voters are generally thick as pig shit, OP, so that explains this woman’s thinking.

Because we want our country secured and our people looked after first! OK!

The reason to have Islamophobia is usually racism

100% no!

Question do you really because the reform itself believes in small state? Just like the conservatives do? Therefore they don’t want to look after people in the UK they would prefer people not to be on benefits that being people that are sick or disabled look at what’s going on in America right now And they will make it very hard for people that are poor so I don’t buy this bollocks that people want to look after our own because they’re very same people that vote for these type of people also don’t like people that are homeless et cetera

And yet reform as a party doesn’t want to look after people like me that’s disabled they want people to have a small state. They want it so that the taxpayers like themselves want not to pay much tax and you know the tax pays for stuff just like how Maga in America have been duped into voting for Donald Trump because the poor people are gonna find out when he actually penalises Obama care And realise that these people won’t get the help that they need. It’s the same thing as what Farage is, he is basically a conservative in disguise. He doesn’t give a shit about the people in Britain.

Many people on benefits are scamming the system and can quite easily get a job!!

Exactly what I thought and yet you say you want to look after British people like fuck and hear where we are is the problem here it’s bullshit. You guys don’t want to look after foreign people and you don’t want to look after British people let’s be truthful it’s just a party for people who hate And angry. That’s it.

That's rubbish... if you GENUINELY deserve benefits for one reason or the other...granted. There are millions of people that CHOOSE not to work because benefits pay so well

Yes you right. Having all illegal immigrants taken off the country is not racist. They are going free without even documents. Hight risk of terrorism attack and they saying is racism because people nor want illegal migrants. In some countries when you try cross illegally they shoot you on spot in the head and in UK people called racist someone who want safety in country

They seem to believe anything Farage says even though he isn't trustworthy. Their manifesto was nonsense yet people seem to believe anything he says.

What's he going to do about the small boats?

You may think that but the direction of travel that Nigel Farage is on is that he does not agree with the large state he wants to get rid of so much stuff in the government because he believes it’s better that way but you see all that little bit of government actually helps sort out everything else if you see what’s going on in America right now they are getting rid of department of education that is going to have a major impact

Do you pay tax? Is your hard earnings paying for illegal immigrants to be housed on hotels???

Claiming asylum is not illegal because they need to be processed then if they are found they have no right then they get removed. It’s bullshit rhetoric that people are believing that it’s illegal. It’s not illegal.

Well I will tell you after 14 years of conservatives that cut the border force which means we take a long time to process people they don’t want to be in hotels they want to actually work but under our rules they cannot work until they are processed so it’s a two edge sword.

Yeah strangely enough Nigel Farage would sit with the business people that would like to keep a lot of money and not pay people correctly and then pretend he’s on the side of the working classes. That is what pisses me off is that fellow working class? People are falling for that privileged arsehole bullshit.

I pay tax.

Are you objecting to migrants who are applying for asylum being housed and given a subsistence income? What do you want to happen? Put them out to live on the streets?

So you think they want to live on £40 away because that’s all they get you think that you think they’re actually that lazy that they don’t want to work because they do want to work in fact we have a crisis here of the fact that we’re not making enough babies and we need more houses built it’s quite simple. We could be training these people up and using them to our advantage but unfortunately people don’t seem to work this way in their brains in the government

Is this you scapegoating all migrants as dangerous criminals?

Violent crime in the UK is less per 100 000 head of population now than it was when we had much lower rates of immigration in the 1990's.
