Spot on. Fagash is a liar, a conman, a racist, a misogynist and all things bent and nasty. I'm looking forward to the local deform candidate calling, I won't swear at her, I promise, but she'll be going up my path with an earache and a suggestion that she goes and visits a psychiatrist.

Great article, Bear! Islamophobia is indeed on the rise, and it’s not just Reform, but some Conservative MPs are doing the same… the fuss they created about Trafalgar Square prayer during Ramadan 🤦🏻‍♂️ but thank you for reminding people who Reform really are :) As a Muslim myself, I genuinely worry about what might happen if Reform ever gains power.

Quite simply describing a disgusting Company, rather than a political party.

Their whole approach appears 'shamaturist', at best, or disgusting tbh.

Why are they so offensive if not by design to stoke the fires of people being hoodwinked into fascism?

Another good read, I just hope the main stream media could highlight this, rather than toady up to the frog meister and his racist, homophobic and Islamaphobic rhetoric. It’s very sad that the establishment seem to back down to him when he threatens and bullies his way through them. I would suspect that a very large proportion of Reform supporters have a lower IQ than those of sub Saharan Africa, especially considering they have had a better education opportunity and for those of my age (67) a full life, whereas their opportunities have been far less in many rural communities.

Morning Bear.

Excellent analysis.

To summarise, if I may, in a rather coarse way.

Reform and Farage are a massive dung heap and the membership are armadas of flys swarming over it. Because they are drawn to it by what it is and they love it.

One quick fact-check: Is the membership of Reform actually still growing rapidly?

https://www.reformtracker.uk/ shows a total of 230,242 as of 19 June 2025 at 14:31 (Source: reformparty.uk). This seems to have stopped updating itself.

Reform’s publicly displayed counter showed 268,631 “paid-up” members in reporting by The Independent on 12 December. An archived capture of the same page showed 268,294 on 5 December. (https://www.ukfactcheck.com/article/132/farage-says-reform-uk-tops-268000-paid-up-members-as-labour-total-is-reported-below-250000)

Reform UK - 271,156 - Apr 2026 (https://www.pollcheck.co.uk/party-memberships)

That looks to me as though they've started to hit the inevitable ceiling, where the easy wins have been had & growth slows dramatically - and that's on their own data. I wonder how many people have in fact cancelled the direct debits but not been removed from the stats?

Unfortunately, there are also racist elements in all the main parties including the government. I will never understand why. This morning, I went shopping and noticed that another b.... St George flag has appeared overnight further out of reach than the last removed one. Utterly unforgivable.

Alone, afraid, the kid your mother made

Sitting in your room drooling like a loser with all this doom

You think, and then you start to drink

Then you get so paranoid with all the drugs they fill you with

Then boom - does it make you feel like a man?

Boom - it's not the size, we understand

Boom - you think you're gonna get with me

You're never gonna get with me

You're never gonna dance with me
