What on earth does a Reform person mean by saying ‘If she were my daughter bath night would be on a Thursday”. What the hell does that mean? Obviously something sinister but I have never heard this before, naive obviously!

Seems like the only defence on here for Reform is to throw mud elsewhere.

Turns out all the 'protect our women and children' stuff should be directed towards Reform candidates, MPs and councillors.

Amongst the charges against Andrew Tate are 19 counts involving indecent images of a child and extreme pornography.

Birds of a feather.

He does seem to like sex offenders doesn't he?Hmm

Reform is full of paedophiles and domestic abusers, I’m unsurprised by the comment.

Is that your take on the racist, lying misogynist scum in Reform?🤯

I'm getting a whiff of a pathetic attempt to distract from the actual facts.

Strangely the main stream media has never gone undercover in thd labour party, not even ehen Jezza was in command

#just saying # football fans reporting

What i mean by football fans is that the main stream media were showing images from 2007 in 2020 about England fans. And never reported the reaction to England fans on America this summer but were wanking themselves stupid over Scotland fans (more Scots were arrested than English ... all for being drunk and less than 10 on each side)

Then start a thread on that.

There definitely have been undercover reports on Labour (eg re Tower Hamlets corruption).

I fear contrarians won't ever be turned off a reform vote. I just hope they are outnumbered.

What about the Labour minister who said he hoped an elderly constituent would die and joked about a constituent being “mown down” by a truck. How did they get hold of those messages?

Everyone from every political party should be under very close scrutiny, with no exceptions.

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 15/10/2026 10:54

@LuckyHazelFox Instead of trying to deflect and derail, why not tell us what you think about the racism and misogyny shown by Reform representatives featured in the ITV report?

Would you agree that Nigel's previous promises about improving Reform's vetting procedures have clearly failed? Why do you think that might be?

Tryagain26 · 15/10/2026 10:54

I'm surprised that anyone is surprised that Reform politicians would have these views.
I'm just sad that i don't think it will make the slightest difference to their supporters

TooBigForMyBoots · 15/10/2026 10:56

Apparently Chris Whelan is a grandfather! I hope the parents of his grandchildren take note of what a creepy perv he is and protect their DC.

In the interests of fairness ITV should go undercover on all the major parties, otherwise it doesnt really hold water

What do you mean it doesn’t hold water? Do you think they didn’t say it?

I can see the argument that unless we know what all the other parties say we don’t know if reform are worse. But we don’t actually need to know that in order to find what they have said disgusting.

I think the bath night on a Thursday goes back to a delightfully racist 70’s comedian Bernard Manning.
Back then a lot of kids got one bath a week, on a Sunday. So saying Thursday I would assume he would want bath night to last for three days?
It was quite a famous joke at the time about a celebrity male who had a very pretty daughter.
I would rather not investigate further because I don’t fancy having to look at Bernard Manning today.
He used to roast anyone who wasn’t white in his audiences.
If there was a woman nearby his favourite remark was ‘I bet you’ve flattened some grass’ as in slept with a lot of men.
This stuff was everyday back then, it was how these men spoke and anyone who wasn’t a white male was suppose to just laugh and take no offence.

‘If she were my daughter it would still be bath night on a Thursday. I'll wash you properly.

He was saying that if he was this woman's father, he would be incestuous with her.🤢

I hope Chris Whelan doesn't have a daughter. He's disgusting. Reform UK, the party of racist abusive men and traitors!😡

Yeah so gross and vile 😑

It reminded me of Mallory's abusive dad in Natural Born Killers.🤮

I can see the argument that unless we know what all the other parties say we don’t know if reform are worse. But we don’t actually need to know that in order to find what they have said disgusting.

Whenever Reform is exposed in relation to some new scandal over racism, corruption or whatever, then its supporters always desperately try to argue that all of the parties are just as bad, perhaps under the mistaken belief that it would be ok if they all really were as bad as each other.

The principle flaw with that argument is that they are not actually all as bad as each other.

Undercover journalists will pivot broadcast their findings when they have a juicy story to tell. Unfortunately for Reform, they seem to provide rather a lot of such stories. That doesn't mean that the other parties are subjected to no scrutiny, merely that the scrutiny has not produced such newsworthy results.

OhMyGodSusan · 15/10/2026 11:06

It means hes a fucking nonce. Reform is the party of nonce's.

I think the whole thing is being broadcast on ITV on Sunday night after the news.

Theres a lot of already on YouTube if you search Racist reform itv news. I just watched two videos and threw up..

Im disgusted at how these people have these views. Blacks and muslims etc are lesser in their eyes. Yet there are wonderful people who are black and are our surgeons, doctors, dentists, carers ,friends, lovely parents to engage with on the school run, our fellow brother and sister at the mosque or the church, our neighbour who helped us during in covid lockdown. Makes me sick.

It also is incredulous how much they hate hijab, saying effing rip it off, when a school girl minding her own business going to school in a hijab should be torment to an attack from some horrific thug for simply a headscarf that our ancestors wore etc. I can remember my granny visiting a chapel in Ireland wearing a head covering. I didnt immediately jump to the conclusion shes a terrorist nut.

It was an important question. For example, a friend who votes reform is different than an elected member of the reform party.

Not really.

My brother votes reform. We are estranged, he thinks white people should only marry whites and black men should only marry black women.. . He also attended a protest for keeping English for the English.
