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!

Or their daughter in the bath comment.

Indeed.

I think the "provocation" defence probably does make sense to people who secretly hold racist or misogynistic views (or whatever!) and feel that they could somehow be provoked into letting them slip out.

It makes no sense at all to those who know that they couldn't ever be provoked into saying such abhorrent things.

‘If she were my daughter it would still be bath night on a Thursday. I'll wash you properly. So he wants to emulate Jimmy Saville?

AfAfter All, Saville used to make reference to being in court on Thursday.

Thanks for posting. Horrifying but not altogether surprising. It feels as though this stuff is always just below the surface

the80sweregreat · 15/10/2026 23:16

I admit I was not surprised at all. I find it sad, but things haven’t changed at all.

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)

Did you type this with your tongue ?

Reform are the skanky, shady party.
You like shady folk?
You like skanky fucks?
You have a soft spot for nonces , carpet-baggers and traitors?

Vote Reform and all your demented dreams will come true.🙏

Exactly, you've got to have them as thoughts in the first place to be able to have them "slip out if provoked.'

One of the councillors involved is the deputy mayor of Solihull. Disturbingly he's a prison officer. He's been suspended from his job now. Hopefully he'll be sacked.

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

It means he is stupid and boorish and thinks he is funny. It is a bizzare thing to say but he is talking about a grown woman. It is the objectification which disgusts me.
Anyway I thought Labour was the nonce's party?

That Clav person comes onto threads about Farage and Johnson to derail them so you stop talking about the thing she doesn't want you talking about - best to ignore her.

Anyway back to the paedophilic comments made by Reform. Emily Maitlis absolutely hit the nail on the head with her description on the news agents.

As much as men try to distance themselves from other men (at the moment its because their passport was issued in another country and they have brown skin) its just another example of not all men but always men. That's how the "protect our women and girls" brigade talk about you when they don't think you're listening. They're talking about another Reform candidate. This woman will be in rooms full of these men. She is not safe. Making the country 99% white will not change that.

Russian interference to divide European countries is so in our faces now. To the poster who wondered why they'd be on MN, its a public discussion forum that's why. Some of them are obvious but there's a lot of analysis on this at the moment. Worth a look or listen. Rory Stewart on TRiP is particularly well versed in this area.

We know what they are like it’s just whether we want to accept that or not - clearly this is just who they are

This must have appeared in my FB because of this thread. I had to do a double take as it seemed too shocking. And as it turned out according to Google it's only 20%.

James McMurdock got a custodial sentence for domestic violence which he didn’t declare before the 2024 election. It’s worth knowing when the subject of Lou Haigh’s lost phone comes up.

DuncinToffee · 16/10/2026 12:32

And more recently, Welsh Reform leader Dan Thomas was arrested on suspicion of assault and controlling or coercive behaviour.

Teanbiscuits33 · 16/10/2026 17:07

The difference between reform supporters and everyone else is that it’s a cult. They keep saying ‘if journalists went into to labour or Tory HQ, they’d find the same!’ So if you think that’s the case, then do it. I would welcome an expose on the other parties because I don’t want paedophiles, misogynists, racists, or domestic abusers in our political system full stop! It’s very telling that instead of holding their party to account, they just immediately deflect.

Farage says publicly there’s no room for people like that in Reform, but their supporters are not asking themselves why so many low life inadequates are attracted to them because they don’t care why, they like it.

I was open to the idea that not every reform supporter was a piece of shit before, but after all that’s come out about them recently, the respectable and somewhat misguided supporters will have gone, so if you find yourself still supporting them at this point then you must either be just as bad, or as thick as pig shit and you need to take a good look at yourself.

Dottiethelurcher · 17/10/2026 08:03

Continued support of Reform after all of this will involve serious cognitive gymnastics unless you are pretty far to the extreme right in your views. It is difficult for more moderate centre right people who are frustrated with Conservative failures, they have nowhere to go. But ffs Reform are not the answer to this. If Farage says he will get rid of the racists and nonces, we should take that with a very big pinch of salt because I don’t think he even fully understands the bigger picture, even if he was sincere (which he isn’t).

Bubblewrap100 · 17/10/2026 09:52

Reform supporters won’t care about any of this, as they secretly, or not so secretly, act and think in the same way.

BIossomtoes · 17/10/2026 10:08

I’m not sure about that. Their support is already falling.

LizzieW1969 · 17/10/2026 10:37

Yes, they were down in 3rd place in the polls this week. Still 21%, though, so there is still a hardcore who hang on Nige’s every word.
