Reform UK anti-immigrant party deemed a threat

In one of Britain's most multicultural cities and penned in by a fence and security, an anti-racism protest outside the venue of the annual conference of Reform UK, a right-wing, anti-immigrant, Islamophobic political party, the protesters here maintain is a threat.

They're not like any other political party.

They are racist to the core, and they're about dividing working class people and blaming refugees, blaming migrants, blaming Muslims for the problems in our society.

And I think it's really important that we come out.

  Thousands mobilize to protest against anti-immigrant Reform UK party

  Britain’s political parties are holding their annual conferences, where they raise funds, promote policy, or outline political agendas to their membership and the public.

Problems that reform members say their nascent party is the answer to, even as they emerge from the venue and hurl abuse at the protesters.

Reform UK are the only people [sic] standing up for facts.

Actually, what's happening is we're having thousands of people coming in across our borders, now, everybody's scared of standing up and saying, who's come across the borders? How many people come across the borders?

But the only person actually says it will be Reform UK.

So then they're instantly targeted as racist and this and this and this.

  Zionist funding of UK far right riots revealed

  The UK riots appear to have stopped, however, questions are being asked about their root cause, which has been ascribed to far-right politicians.

Only a few months ago, the party led by Chief Brexiteer Nigel Farage who ran on the promise of tackling immigration and other promises, had no seats in the British Parliament. Now it has five; an electoral success signaling the failures of the mainstream parties.

Instead of looking at the real causes of poverty, i.e. the attacks on the benefit system, the attacks on housing system, there's no housing.

People are suffering. The cost of living crisis has been exacerbated, and the Labor Party, they're looking like they're going to they're trying to be more efficient than the conservatives.

They're not providing any alternative viewpoints.

So I think the fact is, they (Reform UK) have been able to tap into that anger that people feel, but they're using it to divide and they're scapegoating people of colour, predominantly Muslims, but other people of colour too.

  Far-right riots raise specter of civil war in UK

  Britain is facing a national crisis in the face of the worst rioting in 13 years. The violence was sparked by the fatal stabbing of three young girls in Southport last week and stoked by misinformation on social media.

As he kicked off the party conference, Farage, who wants to pull the UK out of the European Human Rights Court, told acolytes that his party would win the 2029 general election.

Reform UK's Euro-skepticism, along with a hodgepodge of other populist anti-immigrant pledges, has had an impact on the voters here.

They won the third largest vote share in the recent general election, leading many to ask whether that signals a far-Right future for the UK.

  As the Conservative Party in Britain loses the power it has held since 2010, it leaves behind a legacy of poverty, division and in particular hatred for Muslims.
