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

Their candidates are hilariously bad. I don`t know where he`s from but one is definitely a Rangers fan. He was interviewed and said something classic like "Wuh jist wahnt hings hoo they used tae be. Like the good old days!"

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

Fairly sure he was Scottish Family Party previously, which confirms he`s a fruit loop.

Turns out the Reform super supporter that was on stage dancing about in a Reform football top cant work and is on disability benefits…..was quizzed on Reform removing them and started stumbling and bumbling in his response.

Who said Im part of the “be kind mob”? 😂 Im part of the call out hypocrisy mob……his belief in a party that will remove his only income is slightly unhinged to say the least.

What do you think Reform would do that would make Scotland better, or life better for you, 87par?
ETA - The candidate for Dunfermline has hidden his x/twitter posts. Anyone know why? 🤔

Reform UK`s popularity seems to be on the decline. Maybe folk are beginning to realise Nigel Farage is a grifter who has made a personal fortune out of political opportunism.

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.

Or it could be down to their candidates being utter head cases.

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.

Why would it be a punishment to have an immigration centre in your constituency?
And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

Reduced green space, increased traffic, increased risk of folk escaping might be three decent reasons.
Would you not mind if they plonked one next to TOWK Towers?

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.
