Yeah.

‘Party for sale’? Reform’s £72m donation causes backlash
K
7:22Kiran StaceyHOST
Uh, but that was interestingly the birthplace of Restore Britain, Rupert Lowe's hard right splinter party from Reform.
K
7:30Kiran StaceyHOST
And apparently, according to, uh, one researcher at Hope Not Hate who have been looking into this quite a wh- for quite a while, Ben Delo takes a, um, almost a gambler's approach to, um, uh, who he donates to.
K
7:44Kiran StaceyHOST
So he donates to a lot of different places, parties, individuals, and then decides after a while which one he thinks has the best chance of winning.
K
7:51Kiran StaceyHOST
So this is, in a way, a big plus for Nigel Farage, but maybe it also tells us that his links into that slightly harder right movement, that movement around Rupert Lowe, are still there and in fact growing.

And Hope Not Hate, who obviously, you know, campaign very, very strongly against the far right and the organized right and infiltrate far-right groups that Tommy has been associated with, like the English Defense League, they are now saying that HMRC need to get involved in this and do a full investigation to see-

How Reform Manufactured The Immigration Crisis
J
1:09JackGUEST
They are, and the party is, I think, a far-right party.
J
1:13JackGUEST
I mean, Hope Not Hate, the UK's leading anti-fascist organisation, describes them as far-right, and they continue to attract people who have views that are aligned with far-right policies.
S
1:25speaker_2HOST
Do you think that allowing these people to be in either parliament or in local governments and allowing them to kind of reveal themselves as having almost weaponized incompetence is actually a benefit so in the future people realize that these people actually don't really know what they're doing and therefore they can vote for someone else or do you think it's actually even just bad than being there in the first place?
J
1:44JackGUEST
No, I often hear people say to me, do you know what the best thing for us to do is? Let reform win a term in government.

And breaking right now, Tommy Robinson is standing by live to hit back after a despicable Channel 4 hit piece with the corrupted Hope Not Hate organization designed to shut down Unite the Kingdom and get him jailed over false claims of financial impropriety.
M
1:24Matt SheaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Tommy Robinson says he's going bankrupt, has no assets, and he can't bank in the UK.

Problem is, Tommy Robinson is better at this game than they are, and his own documentary, The Dispatches Deception, blew their hit piece out the water.
D
7:23Dan WoottonHOST
Now, I watched both documentaries in full.
D
7:25Dan WoottonHOST
Channel 4 worked on theirs with the scum anti-British organization, Hope Not Hate, for three years, but there was still no smoking gun.

Tommy had just three days to prove them wrong.
‘Radicalised, organised, and thick as s**t’: Nish has had it with far-right protests. Plus - why Cory Doctorow is waiting for the AI bubble to burst.

Absolutely.

So Hope Not Hate was the first to identify that the Dover disturbance was organized by a far-right group.
C
21:48Coco KhanHOST
Th- that this is the, the Patriot Platform.
C
21:51Coco KhanHOST
It's been founded by Tommy Robinson's right-hand man and former bodyguard, Daniel Thomas, better known as Danny Tommo.
C
22:49Coco KhanHOST
Anyway, nonetheless, they're an anti-immigration group.
C
22:52Coco KhanHOST
They've been billed as, this is how they bill themselves rather, is the resistance standing against the downfall of the United Kingdom.
C
22:59Coco KhanHOST
However, Hope Not Hate has described it as a far-right vigilante unit.

Uh, it's kind of, you know, they just...
K
23:06Kevin MaguireHOST
There's a racist element, and I think the rise of these, uh... th- this latest, uh, Patriot, uh, platform with this, uh, Tom, uh, Thomas guy who got two years for attempted kidnap with a knife and is facing some incredibly serious allegations from the community anti-extremist group Hope Not Hate, I, I think it's, uh, it's kind of really worrying.
K
23:29Kevin MaguireHOST
The police were slow, but I think it just deserves not a condemnation.
K
23:33Kevin MaguireHOST
But we saw in reform, and of course they've got money problems, financial problems, police investigation, you know.
