This is a real post from a Reform MP, threatening to shut down the BBC because a political humour show made fun of Farage. (As if it's never made fun of other parties' MPs). This man is a disturbing authoritarian who should never hold power.

Reposted from Patrick - often has a lot to say.. just can’t help it🤷🏼‍♂️

Well I’ve never seen anyone threaten Have I Got News aggressively before like think I on X.. very sinister 👇🏼😳

So in a Reform controlled Britain with Oberführer #30pLee in Govt current affairs humour would presumably be verboten.. along with free thinking 🥴

And yet they dare to complain that we're losing free speech 😀

Snowflakes huh?

Nigel Farage's Reform School for Wannabe Trumpers. A private school for wealthy racists.

Authoritarians always go after state media . Only GBnews and Talk Tv allowed .
So much for ‘ free speech ‘ 🤡

As a young Irish woman I can't tell you how much I despised Thatcher but when I think of all the skits done by Spitting Image it seems like there was some sort of decency in retrospect

Except #HIGNFY is done by an independent production company Hat Trick Productions.

I don't think he understands or cares about the details.

Anyone who is possibly thinking of voting for reform party at the next GE in 4.5 years time... Just sit back and watch watch what trump does in that time period.. if you think the USA has gone batshit crazy. Then rethink your voting choices

Leeanderthals head will explode when he finally realises that Egypt is full of foreigners.

34 years that show has been going. Ruthlessly ribbing anyone and everyone in the news.

But Lee, that champion of free speech, is the very first to openly and aggressively threaten the show for hurty words against him.

I dearly hope those afflicted by a support for Reform are taking note.

It’s all very trumpian. Eyeing the alleged musk donation?

From a man who can’t even impose discipline on his own party.
Who has a history of threatening litigation and backing off.
And yes, I have the receipts.
He’s not a figure to take seriously.

Reform is a fascist party, right? If it had power, banning political humour would be the smallest problem.

stephena77.bsky.social•85 days ago

They needn't worry. If they can't vet their own candidates, Reform have no chance of "sorting" the borders conundrum.

anabl18.bsky.social•85 days ago

Since when it’s acceptable for an MP to make such threats ? Don’t MPs have to abide by a code of conduct? I find his behaviour rather offensive. He is accountable to us, members of the public, isn’t he?

gabi17.bsky.social•84 days ago

yeah but is he really? is any of them (besides on paper)?

dcfcmiguel13.bsky.social•85 days ago

But if t'were the the other way around, it would be

BUT MY FREE SPEECH!

Those that scream 'snowflakes!' are often the most sensitive to being made fun of...

neiluk.bsky.social•84 days ago

The BBC are probably safe then, since he doesn't have a clue how to sort out immigration.

Thou shalt not "take the name of your 'saviour'🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
in vain"

Strange how religion morphs so easily into the philosophy of right wing extremism.

A cynical person could believe .......

execrable.bsky.social•85 days ago

Who is this "us" he speaks of? I really dislike this cunt as much as I hate the cunt Farage.

mithras.bsky.social•85 days ago

Him and his 4 other MPs. Less than 1% of parliament.

execrable.bsky.social•85 days ago

Means they have to work overtime at being appealing bastards to the country's knuckle-draggers. They mustn't get much sleep between them, poor dears.

burcelton.bsky.social•82 days ago

I'm sorry but who is Nigel forage? The only MPs I recognise, are the ones that 'turn up to work', take part and vote.
Sorry but is he a cleaner in the Houses of Parliament...I'm confused???

willd99.bsky.social•85 days ago

Although his ineptness as Party Whip was shown when he couldn’t even whip the 3 MPs in the Commons to vote for PR. If that day ever came it wouldn’t be at the hands of that cretin.
