“Shooting Migrants As They Reach Beaches”. Racist and homophobic comments from a UK Reform Party member

On July 4, British voters will vote to choose the next composition of the House of Commons.

With election campaigns on the streets, an undercover journalist from Channel 4 News carried out an undercover investigation as part of a campaign by Reform UK, the British party founded by Nigel Farage in 2018.

The records, in Clacton, Essex, have now revealed the racist, Islamophobic and homophobic comments of Andrew Parker, one of the figures associated with the Reform Party campaign.

Insult after insult

During days spent on the street, Andrew Parker advises an undercover reporter on what to say at the door.

“The immigration issue, use the word ‘illegal’. Emphasize ‘illegal,’ especially if you’re caught up in a bunch of ugly people.”

As for what to do with mosques, Parker said they were places where “sick religion” was practiced: “I’ll tell you one thing, if you don’t know Islam, it’s a very disgusting form of worship”. He also suggests that Muslims should be expelled from mosques and these places should be turned into “weatherspoons”. (bar chain).

In the same vein, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is described as a “f***ing c***”. “I’ve always been a conservative voter,” Parker declares, “but what pisses me off is the shit we have. (Chunak) is useless.

“Target shooting procedures” to resolve migration: “F***, shoot them”

New comments titled “How to Control Migration” make Parker’s point clear.

If Reform UK is part of a future government, “Our police officers should become paramilitary”, Authorities “to keep tight control”.

Within authoritarian logic, Parker suggests military recruits should carry out “target practice” by shooting at small boats bringing illegal immigrants to the UK.

“Get the youth out there, yes, on the f***ing beach with weapons, practice shooting. F***, shoot. That’s what the Greeks did…did you know that? The Greeks fired a lot.

“We still have one of those scoundrels running our country”Mentions Sunak.

In another phase of the street campaign, Parker talks to a paramedic.

“Do us a favor. You are a medical assistant. If one of those bastards gets into your ambulance, don’t put the bastard on oxygen. Use something else,” he insists.

The rainbow flag of the “Pride” movement

The street action included George Jones, UKIP and Brexit Party veteran who now organizes events for Farage’s campaign, Rob Bates, senior Reform UK campaigner and regional Reform UK campaigner for London and Tottenham candidate Roger Gravett. .

When a police car drove up to the campaign site carrying a colorful “Pride” flag, Jones didn’t back down: “See that ugly mangled flag on the hood of the car? What is the old bill doing to encourage this nonsense? They should arrest the idiots and not publicize this.

Later, outlining the vision for a future Conservative government, Gravett is heard saying: “When we form government in 2029, we can certainly change a lot of things.”

Excuse me

Days later, when confronted by Channel 4, Parker apologized to the party for making such a stupid comment.

“Neither Nigel Farage nor the Reform Party know my personal views on immigration personally,” he said.

He added: “I have never discussed immigration with Nigel Farage or the Reform Party and the views expressed during these recordings are my personal views on these matters.”

“I would like to deeply apologize to Nigel Farage and the Reform Party if my personal views have caused harm and discredit to them, as that was not my intention.”Parker concluded.

Farage’s reaction

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has already responded, saying the party is not “perfect”.

Reduced Parker’s Comments: “We had one or two candidates who said things they shouldn’t have said.”. In most cases, they only offer personal opinions.
