 Reform Scotland
Topic Originator: Dave_1885  
Date:   Sat 21 Mar 05:43

Reform launched their candidates for the Scottish elections on Thursday.

As usual Mr Soundbite made a tw@t of himself on stage - telling a heckler to “Go and get a hair cut. Probably don’t have a job either. Go get a job”…….whilst speaking to a room full of people at the conference rather than at a job…….

And then came the suspension of a candidate for financial misconduct…along with numerous other vetting issues with candidates….heres some below….

Lord Offord said it was "done in a former life before she was a member of Reform.
"We have to not take offence at every moment in time." "We are not stopping people from standing for Reform just because they might have said something fruity in the past". - when speaking about Senga Beresford for Dumfries.

The Courier reported that Stirling candidate Rachael Wright, from Auchterarder, spread rumours about asylum seekers moving into a former school in Perthshire.
It also said Fife North East Linda Holt called former First Minister Humza Yousaf a "grandstanding Islamist moron" and said "he`s not British".
Offord said: "We have brought in 80% of candidates who are not politicians, they are real people with real lives who said real things in a past life.
"This was said before she was a candidate and she wasn`t even a member of the party at this time.
"We have all made comments in the past but the problem with this modern world is everything is written down and remembered.
"We need to be more realistic about the fact real people say real things. Now she is a candidate she will be held to higher standards."

And this is all before looking at their manifesto…

Are they calling themselves reform Scotland?

I’m surprised given their pro British, pro union beliefs they would go down that road at all, let alone allow themselves to be accused of being nothing more than a Labour style branch office

Looks like our local candidate for Reform is that Otto Inglis that sends in utter moronic nonsense to the letters page of The Dunfermline Press every week. I`ve been reading his contributions for years, the guy obviously has a screw loose.

The folk that vote for Reform will be the hardest hit, when they are forced off the dole, made to pay for their doctor`s visits and prescriptions. Turkey`s voting for Christmas

I genuinely think this is down to Rupert Lowe’s Restore party. 5 weeks old and over 130,000 members. They had to of come from somewhere, I suspect a lot have come from Reform.

Reform UK`s latest policy announcement is that detention centres for illegal immigrants will be located in constituencies which have voted for Green council leaders or MPs! As immigration is a reserved issue presumably they will apply it in Scotland too and it may apply to constituencies with Green MSPs at Holyrood.

This is a new concept in UK politics - to openly threaten to `punish` those voters who don`t support them. Of course anyone who votes for Reform in these constituencies will suffer `punishment` too! Farage & co really are obnoxious.

Apologies. I thought it was immigration process centres but no it`s actually holding facilities for those who will awaiting deportation. Suppose there will always nimbyism at the end of the day but any location for these centres should be decided on merit and not because of the political leanings of the voters in that location.

I`ve said since the start there should be proper processing centres rather than using hotels and letting people roam around when they`re not documented. Maybe seems severe but that`s just my view. If they built a big centre in Dunfermline I couldn`t care less, though it would feel a bit silly given most people seeking asylum or arriving on boats do so in the south of England.

However, I`d never vote Reform. Not just because this cow is yet another made up load of nonsense, but because they are absolute clowns. They can`t back up any of their proposals with proper policy. They can`t explain how they would achieve any of their pledges either.

Reform will be the main opposition party in Scotland and it will be interesting to witness what transpires in Holyrood with the other unionist parties.
Will they join with them or let the SNP rule the roost as far as policies and votes go.
The rest of the UK will be watching closely I imagine.

I suspect a lot of the Reform vote is a "none of the above" option. Others will vote with their feet. Or rather, not use their feet, but stay at home.

One interesting dynamic will be that Nigel Farage has no interest in Scotland (I`m not sure he has that much interest in England either to be fair) but likes to get his own way. Reform is not a member run party in the traditional sense - Farage and his buddies control it.

Sooner or later Offord and Farage will disagree. It will be interesting to see what happens then. Look what happened to Rupert Lowe.

Another interesting consequence will be what happens if there is no overall control. Pragmatism suggests that people hold their nose and form alliances (in private, if not in public).

I really wouldn`t count on fall outs in Reform. We`ve got a prime minister backing a real live dodgy associate. And a Scottish Government asking for another term. A 20th year to get it right. Nah. Forgive me. I dont trust them. They dont serve me. Never will.

They`ll add up the percentages of votes for independence and unionist parties and say the latter has the majority so there`s no need to have a formal referendum. And of course `now is not the time`, `once in a generation` etc.

Interesting to see the headlines in the unionist media. The Express managed to find some Tory comfort by declaring `THE BLUE WALL* HOLDS TO DENY SWINNEY VICTORY`!

The SNP got more than triple as many seats as their nearest rival(s), with a vote share that would`ve seen them win a landslide at Westminster, yet it is being presented as some sort of failure.

I bet the other parties wish they could fail like that, but they only seem capable of the more traditional sort of failure.

There’s obviously a majority who vote SNP in Scotland however there is the rise of reform. I honestly can’t see an independence referendum going the way of independence. The economic/financial questions are bigger now than they were during indiref. SNP looks a helluva lot less competent and a helluva lot more corrupt than back then too.

Nigel Farage’s interview for the evening political programme Britain Decides was originally focused on migration and the economic pressures facing the UK. On air, the politician confidently stood his ground, claiming the country had “lost control of its borders” and that “tough measures” were the only way forward.

The exchange was tense yet predictable: the presenter pressed Farage on figures, consequences, and criticism from opponents, while Farage responded in his trademark style—combative and uncompromising.

However, according to those on set, the most talked-about moment occurred after the interview had officially concluded. As the host thanked the guest and the cameras formally faded to black, the equipment was allegedly still recording.

At that moment, a relaxed Farage reportedly chuckled and remarked: “The main thing is to say it with enough conviction; then nobody digs any deeper.”

An even more odious excuse for a human being than BJ and that`s saying something.

As for the snp being `a helluva lot more corrupt` any wrongdoing by the snp pales into insignificance when compared to the £5m given, and then undeclared, to Farage by some cryptocurrency billionaire.

Farage is probably as corrupt as the SNP but does that make the SNP better?

No is my opinion.

And it still doesn’t detract from my point that the SNP being corrupted makes an independence referendum more difficult for the yes campaign to succeed.

What do these accusations of the SNP being `corrupt` relate to? Are they the allegations against Peter Murrell (who isn`t a politician) which have still to be tried in court? Media reports have suggested the party itself is skint after all the bad piublicity stemming from these allegations.

I unfderstand the £5m donated to Nigel Farage was to cover his personal protection for life and had nothing to do with politics. It seems a very odd basis on which to gift money to someone and you have to wonder how it was calculated.

I’d suggest the main ones are to do with Operation Branchform and the Alex Salmond affair but it’s not like there aren’t list of other things that would make someone think a political party is corrupt. From the “stamp fairy is very useful when it comes to campaigns” to ferries having windows painted on them for press conferences.

Not to mention all the SA cover ups.

He also used to say he had no permanent residence and was dependent on friends to provide him with accommodation. Now he seems to be a millionaire with at least two homes and is more likely to be out on speaking engagements, promoting cryptocurrency or hosting programmes on GB News rather than attending to business in the House of Commons. Uniquely, his political party is a private company he controls.

I believe it is associated with a website called silent-voyage.com or similar.

Dirty as in being made to pay legal fees by a court because you didn’t follow the guidelines? Your very own guidelines that you created? Or corrupt because you delete messages that aren’t meant to be deleted and only remember about them after other copies are found?

That’s just some of the stuff that’s known about. There’s loads of it. How much isn’t known about them?

There’s no defending the SNP’s culture anymore. They’ve not even tried to answer the one monetary question that would make independence much more viable 🤷🏻‍♂️ they’d rather avoid the question than come up with the solution.

They get criticised for spending all their time talking about independence then they get criticised for not answering questions about it! Nobody knows the democratic process to achieve a referendum so what`s the point of discussing the nuts and bolts of it? We have politicians happy to protect the sovereignty of Palestine or Ukraine or Greenland but they turn a deaf ear when asked the democratic route for Scotland to leave the union if its people want it.

How much money have Westminster governments wasted on legal fees fighting cases they knew they`d lose but pursued just to delay decisions?

On the question of deleted messages the Westminster government was doing that too, Alister Jack, the Scottish Secretary in particular, but nobody seemed to bat an eyelid.

I never said anything about the democratic process of achieving a referendum. I said they need to have a clear answer for the monetary system. That’s the biggest reason we lost the first referendum. If Scottish businesses and companies that operated in Scotland thought they would be better off in an independent country, we’d have an independence referendum.

`I never said anything about the democratic process of achieving a referendum.`

Neither do any of the unionist parties!

So it`s businesses that decide rather than the people? If business confidence is so crucial in these decisions why did the UK leave the EU? I don`t remember much detailed economic argument in favour of leaving other than something scrawled on the side of a bus.

Do you not think that money has huge influence? Do you not think that a feasible plan for the economy would have tipped the referendum in our favour?

If someone like Sir Tom Hunter comes out and says we’d be better off as a nation if we were independent rather than saying we’re overtaxed and before independence could work financially we’d need a competent government. Something like that would be a massive step towards independence.

Yeah, money has infliuence. some would say too much. I`m not sure people trust businessmen any more than they trust politicians.
