I am embarrassed and ashamed of the club.
I am not going to be part of a club which openly endorses a promoter of hate and bigotry.
Done.

You are very angry for a newbie!
How’s Reuser today ? |
Has my anger reached the level of wanting to machine gun asylum seekers or is that a level of anger reserved for yourself? | | | |

Yes they are terrible and horrible people. Why is this difficult for you to grasp?
Reform don't hide their terrible and horrible policies and attitudes. They very clearly run on a platform of hate, bigotry, xenophobia and racism. If somebody sees that and decides yes! That's a bit of me, I want to vote for the horrible and terrible racists then yes, that makes them terrible and horrible people.
Just because there's a lot of terrible and horrible people that will vote for them it does not make them any less of a terrible person with disgusting views.
This is all very simple so I'm not sure why it has caused you such confusion but as stated previously, not everyone can be blessed with intelligence. |
I often find those who claim to be more intelligence than others are as thick as mince.
As it is all so simple, perhaps you will answer the simple (closed) question yes or no? As 4.2 million people, according to you so blessed with intelligence, are ‘terrible and horrible people’ would you take away their right to vote?
Yes or no. |  | | |

Actually you can. Fans are invested in our club longer than any player or manager or chairman. They come and go. We stay for life. It’s our club, always was, always will be. |
More proud of the club in recent years than at most points in my life. This is a bump in the road but doesn't change that.
The Easter Monday home game will be sold out I predict, as will all our away games for the rest of the season. |  |

Not for the first time recently, you appear to be indulging in a bit of goalpost shifting to try and get some kind of gotcha moment.
Personally I agree with the poster that anybody who listens to that disgusting hate-preacher and still thinks that his racist, homophobic, misogynistic, bile is something that they would vote for, pretty much is a terrible person. I include my parents-in-law with that, and indeed, all your reform loving mates.
But no - being such a person is their right and they should of course have the right to vote. Id never argue otherwise, and I fail to see where the poster (sorry forgotten their name) has done either. |  | | |

Ok. Where I am going on this is that I believe it is wrong to classify every person that supports or vote for Reform as a ‘terrible person’. I know too many people that did vote for them who are most certainly not terrible.
One golfing acquaintance is pretty bad. He works on Farage’s team and whilst pleasant enough is somebody I steer clear of where possible. He’s rabid on it and ticks all the stereotype boxes. Shared a buggy on a golf course in Portugal last year and he kept trying to drag me into a discussion about all matters reform. God, it was a long morning. Sill, I got a nice level of ridicule from my chums who were relieved it wasn’t them.
People cast their vote for all sorts of reasons. From ignorance to fear. For personal reasons to genuine beliefs. Frustration with the inadequates that have infested the HoC for decades. My guess is mostly fear.
I was chatting to an American in Colorado just before Covid. He was a very wealthy man (you know, Rolex watch, expensive ski gear etc). He asked about Johnson so gave my less than complimentary response then asked what about Trump? He responded I know what he is, but the Democrats will take and waste all my money so I’ll be voting Trump.
In other words his voting preference didn’t necessarily make him a terrible man (might have been a gangster for all I knew, mind). I suspect that many who vote for Farage will do so for similar baseless reasons.
They’ll also flee to him because the current incumbents are perceived hopeless, but regardless how many will look beyond Farage’s simple messaging? Not many is my guess, any more than people did with Brexit. Simple (lies) messaging far too many swallowed.
I do not believe in muzzling people including him, unless they break the law. Their arguments are usually so shallow that give them their allotted air time and their ghastliness is easily exposed and actually ridiculed. Their ‘policies certainly won’t stand up to any scrutiny.
So while I certainly agree with your last paragraph I am not keen to classify millions of people I don’t know as ‘terrible’.
It’s just a view.

Every politician lies to get into power.
Look how Starmer and Rayner backed the waspi women saying they would make sure they get what is owed to them. | | | |

The irony here is thick! |
I put this guy on ignore because he looks for an argument wherever he can. His response to most things is that the poster is thick and he is Mr intellectual. Says a lot about the blokes insecurities doesn’t it ? |  | | |

How very true.
You know, I’d love to have been a politician, represent and do some good. I reckon I’d have lasted about two minutes before being hurled out. | | | |

I personally would not vote for or support/defend Farage in any way.
However, if you saw him at a Shell service station would you boycott Shell?
The club received a booking for a stadium tour, in whose name we no not, which they accepted. Once on site they decided that, given the amount of social media present, it would allow it to continue. It was an income for the club.
I don't care who visits the club, Farage, Corbyn, Starmer, it all brings in money. as the old adage goes, there is no such thing as bad publicity. | | | |

Cheers, appreciate your pov and the not at all too long response.
I'd get that if they were voting for a party that is legitimate and with whom I just largely disagree, such as the terrible Tory governments of recent times. But this isn't just any party - this fetid party solely represents the worst of society, sewing division and fear. As you said, their policies don't stand up to the slightest scrutiny, and their leader is repeatedly shown to be a racist scumbag. And yet people still vote that way.
I don't care how amenable they might be over a pint, or a chat about water butts on a village green: if it looks like a racist and walks like a racist, it's a racist. And screw every single one of the bastards. | | | |

Erm, have you seen the coverage of this? This is very much the definition of bad publicity and there really is such a thing. |  |
