Reform UK sfidato sulle acrobazie di ponte messe in scena dai fascisti

Reform UK has come under strong criticism after failing to condemn two notorious fascists who have been organising pro-Reform stunts at road bridges in south Wales.
The anti-fascist blog Far Right Watch Wales has published the latest in a series of blogs exposing deeply concerning links between the two men and Reform, which is currently leading Britain-wide opinion polls.
Neo Nazi groups
The latest blog post states: “Earlier this year we wrote that evidence had emerged that individuals involved with fascist and neo nazi groups – Roger Phillips and Joe Marsh – had campaigned for Reform in Wales during last year’s UK general election.
“Phillips was at one time an organiser for the fascist BNP in Wales (and a close ally of leader Nick Griffin) while Marsh – who has convictions for extreme violence – is Wales’ organiser of the neo nazi, holocaust denying group Patriotic Alternative and was also the leading figure in the ‘Welsh division’ of Tommy Robinson’s English Defence League. Phillips and Marsh also featured prominently in an undercover BBC Wales report on far right activities in Wales last year.
“We then reported in early July that these dangerous extremists were once again up to their previous tricks and carried out ‘banners on bridges’ stunts on bridges in Llanelli and Swansea to promote Reform. Also important to point out at this juncture their use of Y Ddraig Goch during these larks is part of a sinister and cynical tactic British fascists have started employing in Wales in recent times – namely appropriating Welsh cultural and historical symbols for their own twisted hateful ends.
Why arent these fascist groups proscribed as terrorist organisations yet? Seem like 2 tier standards to me.
If you’re bored of being called racist every time you post something in support of reform, this is who you choose to stand with, and this is why you get called that. It’s not racist to have concerns over the amount of immigration. It can only be racism wanting people like this, and the party they support, and that supports them, in power, as they offer nothing else. No sound economic policies. No sound defence or health or social care policies. No sound education policies. And definitely no immigration policies. All they have is this.
It always amazes me that so frequently flag shaggers end up in groups supporting the people we fought in WW2.
The soldiers they ‘respect’ on Remembrance Day were killed by the people their politically align with, it must take some real mental gymnastics to get there, or just not that bright to start with
Something that America is struggling to come to terms with right now, and something the UK is going to be in denial about until it’s already too late, is this:
A *lot* more people around you enjoy fascism than you’re comfortable with. It’s not just those creepy loud shouty people online. A LOT of people around you, your friends, family, colleagues etc… are all perfectly on board with fascism and would be happy to see it implemented.
I’m just fed up hearing about Reform. There are other parties around who just don’t get the publicity. Media outlets dictate what stories and narratives they want us to follow. Currently, they want Reform. They could highlight other parties, but they chose Reform. Any publicity is good publicity, and Reform get way too much of it.
Basically, we’re being mindlessly pushed into a narrative many do not want, but others will happily jump on.
