First of all RIP to the victim it?s terrible.
I?m not sure how we?ve got here but when I was growing up racist was combat 13 or national front.
Now if you give any views that are remotely critical of anyone with colour then you are racist.
People on here get accused of being racist but when asked who or how no evidence comes forward.
The question that I think a lot of people have is why was there national outrage with the career criminal but with this one not know where near the same outrage.
No minutes silence in parliament no kneeling from the prime minister or the police. The answer is simple unless of course you are willing to defend the hypocrisy which some gladly are.
I pray for his family at this horrible time.

There's a recent thread on here about supermarket food banks. One poster comments on an "ethnic lady". He does add that she was smartly dressed, but doesn't say anything about her age/weight/shape/height/colour of hair (do I need to go on?).
Another contributor mentions "Roma types". Again, no further description, but does add another racist trope about benefits.
These are not significant in themselves, and I agree that they might not be sufficient evidence of racist views, but do they indicate an intention to appeal to racial stereotypes?

We are in a world of fear of saying anything because of being tagged and imo it?s not helping.

Presumably you are one of the "most people"? Yet you never respond to any of the many criticisms of Farage's views or policies.Originally posted by MillerBill View PostI just wonder how far left some on here are, if they class Reform UK as far right,This party represents the views of most people and on poll ratings will be the next government.Hopefully the country can be repaired.They are preparing in the right way and have the brains to succeed, whereas labour had fourteen years to prepare for govt but this clueless shower are terrible and we are all suffering.
Perhaps you think he's "one of us", just as Johnson was supposed to be. Or Trump.
How did you arrive at the view that they have "the brains to succeed"? Are these the ones they imported from the Tories?
