Yes, there has always been a racist faction, but social mores kept it squashed. Mass media used to *disapprove*, even if it was sometimes in a wishy-washy fashion. Farage/Brexit has been box office they couldn’t resist. Sell your country out for clickbait …

You’re quite right. Now Burnham el al have finally admitted that Brexit is a fiasco and that there was more than likely foreign interference, perhaps it’s time for them to also row back on the *legitimate concerns* stuff and state that they think racism is a bad thing, and explain why?

The reality is that Reform are just a reheated version of the National Front with the same bigotry and exactly the same policies. BBC sanewashing, normalisation and promotion over many years has hidden the truth from the public. That is coming to an end.

Wonder what "personal reasons" Councillor Alan Feeney had for resigning from Reform UK in both Birmingham and Solihull on Monday? Perhaps ITV News will inform us this evening...
Recent Facebook post by Councillor Alan Feeney

Hi friends. Just a bit of an update. Following discussions, I have mutually agreed with Reform UK that, for personal reasons, I will be leaving the party.

I will continue to represent the residents of Castle Bromwich and Shard End as an independent councillor, and would like to thank all my colleagues.

As always, please feel free to contact me as you always have with any local issues.Photo of Councillor Alan Feeney smirking in a suit with hands that seem too big for his head. 

He represents Shard End on Birmingham City Council and Castle Bromwich in Solihull. He was deputy leader of Solihull Reform UK

In June 2025, Coun Feeney resigned from Solihull’s Tory group and was a member of the breakaway Solihull Independents group before joining Reform three months later.
