Last week, Reform UK bragged it had taken over a “former Conservative Club” in Blackpool.

❗But here’s a key detail they left out:

That same venue has spent the last decade hosting neo-Nazi gigs.

HnH quoted. Please read + share:

"In the emotive battle against the ‘disease of wokeness’, Trump's an inspiration to far-right wannabies who crave the same despotic power. If Reform wins the next GE, the cruel madness of Trumpworld could take root here."

The Talbot hasn’t been a Conservative Club since 2012. But it has kept busy hosting neo-nazi gigs, fascist conferences, and speakers jailed for inciting racial hatred.

Ha brilliant. Why I’m I not surprised

In 2018, it tried to host a conference with Jez Turner, who was later jailed for calling on “soldiers” to “free England from Jewish control”. Others on the bill were later convicted for similar crimes.

The venue also hosts Real Rebellion, a neo-Nazi gig organised by Chad Barrow (rear). One act slated for 2024 included Battlefront whose songs include “Aryan Soldiers” and “String ‘em Up”.

They don't strike me as being the master race if you ask me, you would expect them to have more teeth for a start.

The owner’s defence?

💬 “If somebody wants to book my room and I’m going to make money off it, I’m going to do it.”

So no, this isn’t a Tory club switching sides. It’s a far-right venue backing a far-right party. 🤷

Looks like I’m gonna have to tap the sign again on this one:

If you have a bar, and it’s frequented by Nazis, it’s a Nazi bar.

It’s like the saying goes: if you knowingly let just one Nazi drink in your bar, you run a Nazi bar.

Why does this not surprise me. The rw media tickling Fuhrages tummy should know about this but I have a feeling they're not remotely bothered.

We told that this was the only alternative to Corbyn. We you and told you and told you. You sneered and said you couldn’t support a clean break with forty years of neoliberalism if it meant upsetting screaming genocide-nonces, even as their army sniped journalists with impunity. Barbarism it is.

And then, when it gets *really* bad, you will come crawling to us, and you will beg us to guard your offices against the fascist wave to which you are a midwife. And we will. And in return, when it is over, and Israel begins ethnically cleansing living room in Syria, you will do it all again.
