Platformed to spread fear & hate

REFORM has just four MPs. They are a fringe party. That they enjoy so much mainstream coverage to generate fear and loathing towards refugees and people who look like me is a damning indictment on the people who should know better.

Because Nigel Farage's “migration plan” was a manifesto of hate. He is a big tech version of Enoch Powell. How did we get to a place where we are broadcasting the xenophobia of vicious extremists as legitimate political discourse?

This is a privileged millionaire whose stated aim is to lock up children whose crime would be a request to live in safety. Let that sink in.

He and his supporting cast want to continue characterising them, their mothers and their fathers as criminals, rapists and terrorists.

He wants to hand “sweeping” powers for detention to the Home Secretary so that “hundreds of thousands" of people can be deported. In other words, we really could see people disappeared off the street and bundled into vans as we do in the US.
