Floodgates to censorship are already open and has zero to do with Reform.

It won’t be long before we have a good book burning.

Reform really pushing us to backwards American ideology.

For so many of these far-right pricks the only time they ever enter a library is to censor books in it. Absolutely no interest in making society better for anyone, just desperate to make society worse for the people they don’t like.

They’ve never been interested in free speech – just _their_ speech.

It’s not censorship to prevent inappropriate books with sexual themes from being in children’s books. Children should not be indoctrinated in trans ideology. That’s completely unacceptable
corbynista2029 on
The fault is not entirely Reform’s. The Tories introduced a new set of legislations criminalising free speech, right to assembly, freedom of experience, and Labour has been continuing the tradition by proscribing a direct action group (I don’t support them for the record) and blatantly permitting TERFs to dictate how organisations should operate.

How can people even contemplate voting for these asshats?

Censorship seriously? With Labour and Tories in charge we are already there. Reform can’t push the rock down the hill any further on this issue.

They need to stay in their lane. I as a parent will decide what is or isn’t appropriate for my child to read. Not some bigoted small minded waste of space who belongs in the middle ages

Yes but only what they and the heritage Foundation think is bad… Not all books just anything with you know compassion, empathy, human emotions etc

The UK public is being nudged into voting for these clowns by the media, who are determined to give Reform legitimacy by their constant coverage. They’re a party with a handful of MPs, but you’d think they were the official opposition right now.

How living hell does Farage think he has any moral authority whatsoever?
He’s a cesspit for Gods sakes!

Hmm so censorship opens the floodgates for more censorship. Interesting.

Another case of „free speech but only for the stuff we agree with“. Cunts.

Since when have councils been allowed to control what we can and can’t read??
We must not tolerate trumpism in our country – not falling for the tolerance paradox

Let’s not import the pearl clutching about “banned books” from the USA. Of course some books aren’t suitable for children but they’re not banned. They’re literally on the shelves, sometimes quite prominently advertised, in any book shop.

Reform UK: we are tired of things getting cancelled because some people are woke and don’t like them
Also Reform UK: We are going to cancel some books because we don’t like them

Racist, anti abortion, censorship, what are reform U.K. actually for?
traumac4e on
Cancel culture and censorship only when it’s being levied at them, every fucking time.
I’m exhausted

> 53% of the school librarians I surveyed said they had been asked to remove books from their shelves. Even more worryingly, 56% of those librarians then felt forced to actually remove the books in question.
> An overwhelming number of the books ripped off school library shelves had LGBTQ+ themes or authors, and the bans were usually in reaction to a single parent complaint – or even school leaders acting in anticipation of causing offence among particular communities.
Can we please for the love of sanity, NOT do this please?

Reform hates Britain. They hate British people, they hate British values, they hate this country and what it stands for. They want to turn us in to some weak and pathetic imitation of the shit hole that is the USA. I pray we don’t give them the power to drag us down that road.

Reform is a walking hypocrisy
They preach about freedom of speech and expression yet will call for censorship of the „Transagenda“ claiming to be trying to „protect children“
They preach about businesses being allowed to pick and choose who they want to do transactions with when it comes to a baker refusing to make a cake for a same sex couple yet when a bank says „We do not want to do business with your party leader“ they file court motions saying that the bank must be forced to allow him to use their services
They preach about how people must stand with the police and support law and order yet will routinely insult people who have trained to become police officers because of their gender, height or race
They preach about how we must support our troops yet they regularly mock the armed forces claiming they’ve been „Taken over by the Woke“ with their evidence of this more often than not being the presence of women or Asians in the military and they call for such troops who have trained to defend our country to lose their jobs
They preach about how people should stop being offended „Triggered“ by things they see which they don’t like and should „Man up“ yet they spend the first month of being in power in some places trying to have flags they don’t like pulled down because it „offends them“

I am all for Reform having policies like this… it means they will never get elected.
