Will Reform be Banned ?

New leaked advice from the anti radicalisation quango Prevent has labelled concerns about 'mass immigration' and 'lack of integration' as a 'terrorism ideology' that should be referred to the organisation.

Does this official advice mean the increasingly popular Reform Party could be outlawed ? Could it even threaten the future of Sir Kier Starmer who claimed Britain has become 'a nation of strangers'?

Or is it sensible advice to clamp down on those who hold popular views on this subject?

Bank of England’s former chief economist has said the surge in support for Reform UK in the opinion polls suggested there had been “something of a moral rupture” between the government and many voters, which should spur Starmer to take action with a “radical reset” of its growth plans.

Asked whether Reform was the new party of the working class, Haldane said: “I do not know. But as things stand today, and doing no more than echoing what is in the polls … that is what the larger part of the working classes think – which matters rather more than what I think. What is certainly true, is Nigel Farage is as close to what the country has to a tribune for the working classes.

That is a very disturbing outlook from Prevent.

The idea that challenging government policy is seen as extremism, doesn't sit well with me.

Law enforcement exists to protect citizens, not to police their thoughts. They have stopped serving us and have started to manage us as they see fit.

We have political prisoners in jail. We have politicians aligned with the government assaulting members of the public because they disagree with them and walking free from court. And now we have tentative moves to make an opposition political party illegal?

Right-Wing Extremism – in the UK can be broadly divided into three strands;

- Cultural Nationalism is a belief that Western culture is under threat from mass migration into Europe and from a lack of integration by certain ethnic and cultural groups.

- White Nationalism is a belief that mass migration from the ‘non-white’ world, and demographic change, poses an existential threat to the ‘white race’ and ‘Western culture’.

- White Supremacism is a belief that the ‘white race’ has certain inalienable physical and mental characteristics that makes it superior to other races.

The detail that has stirred up media interest.

Nothing leaked, none of this is secret.

BBC coverage of Shawcross review of Prevent in 2023:

'The UK's scheme to prevent terrorism has "apparently failed" repeatedly to identify attackers, a highly critical review has concluded.

The report from the Home Office's hand-picked reviewer says the Prevent strategy has lost its way.

William Shawcross said the nationwide system that aims to identify would-be terrorists has funded a group whose head was sympathetic to the Taliban.'

Since then Prevent has failed to intervene against Axel Rudakubana although he was reported three times to the organisation.

Is Prevent fit for purpose if it is coming after free speech but ignoring actual terrorists ? Worrying times.

So you agree that concern about lack of integration is Culutural Nationalism, which Prevent explicitly says it is ?

If so you had better report The Richie Inquiry into the Oldham Riots and Louise Casey's later report for the Cameron Govt which found a total lack of integration in certain areas and communities.

From the Richie Report into the Oldham Riots:

"Segregation, albeit self-segregation, is an unacceptable basis for a harmonious community and it will lead to more serious problems if it is not tackled".

Clearly a case of Cultural Nationalism under Prevent's definition.

And that's overlooking the unknown cases that have been successful.

Of course there are going to be enquiries into high profile cases to see what went wrong and take steps to improve.

You can't say an organisation is not fit for purpose when the data available to the general public is skewed. As in, we only get to hear about the cases where things have gone wrong. We don't get to hear about the cases where individuals have been flagged to Prevent and they have been de-radicalised. Not nearly enough click bait in that.

There are regulations that would lead to a party being deregistered, typically involving voter fraud, illegal donations. A party cannot be declared illegal in the same way that a terrorist group can .

In Germany the AFD is the official Opposition and currently leads the polls yet the Intelligence Services have classed the party as domestic extremists and many politicians from other parties have called for an outright ban.

In the US there were many legal and political attempts to stop Trump running for President or to imprison him.

There is a clear and dangerous attempt to silence political opinions which are uncomfortable to the elites.

Diane Abbott has already suggested that Starmer’s recent musings on immigration are racist.

I think we have to accept that Starmer has been radicalised, probably from spending too much time watching Nigel Farage videos on YouTube. He seems pretty obsessed with Farage.

If we get within a year of a general election and it looks like Labour is facing total wipeout I would expect there to be attempts made to outlaw Reform. Ultimately Labour is only concerned with its own power and narrow power base, it has zero interest in the wider country.

Of course Labour has already cancelled local elections in areas where Reform was very strong so the precedent has been set.

Incidentally the postponed elections ties in with the other thread about rhetoric.

Nigel Farage says the elections have been ‘cancelled’. Votes have been ‘cancelled’ - he puts it on social media and says it to the press. He knows they haven’t been cancelled, he knows exactly what he’s doing.

Lo and behold, reform voters accusing Labour of cancelling elections.

This scenario is entirely realistic.

We have seen this happening in France, Romania and Germany.

It almost happened in the US where Democrat administrators abused their power to try to ban Trump from standing for election. The only reason why Trump is President today is because the US Constitution worked and the judiciary stood firm in performing its function.

Would the judiciary in the UK be quite so able to be impartial in the face of a Reform ban?

The problem is that the entire public administration in the UK has been infiltrated by brainwashed Leftists. I’m not even sure they know what their function is today beyond enforcing whatever DEI course they went on last week.

The one thing that the British media never offered Corbyn was a contextual, rounded picture.

We have an extremist group in power.

When it came to classifying what political views were classed as terrorist and which weren’t, they classified only the far right and not the far left. When they are on the centre of left at best.

Self serving determination.

Google Sinn Fein.

I’m aware of Sinn Fein, thanks - they were allowed to exist openly and legally ‘for the greater good’ essentially while talks with the IRA were taking place in secrecy, since Thatcher had wrongly proclaimed she wouldn’t negotiate with terrorists.

If you're aware of Sinn Fein why did you talk about a hypothetical terrorist party running for Parliament ?

Because the Sinn Fein example is quite unique, and would be different from let’s say a hamas or white-supremacy group trying to gain power.

Sinn Fein were a direct result of British policy.

Labour had a pro Hamas leader not long ago.

Did they?

Or did they have a leader who used inclusive language (which he shouldn’t have done) about a group which he publicly accepts is a terror group, and one which he has criticised?

Corbyn refused to call Hamas a terrorist organisation until Nov 23.

Not surprising really, he was leader of the party responsible for unlawful acts of harassment and discrimination, as concluded by the EHRC investigation into antisemitism within the labour party.

So we’re in agreement, what I said was correct, yes?

Your words in isolation yes, correct. However they offer no context which is rather important, once context is added a much more rounded picture is drawn.

The one thing that the British media never offered Corbyn was a contextual, rounded picture.

He was immensely flawed, but a terror-loving communist he was not, contrary to popular belief."

I think the most damming media coverage of Corbyn that I saw personally was self inflicted. It was leading up to Brexit vote and he was asked 14 times what his personal view was and 14 times he refused to answer the question.

When the Lib Dem leader of the time described Corbyn as a 1970s socialist and Johnson as an Eton educated self entitled elitist they nailed them both.

I agree they are upsetting everyone.

Some of the stuff they have discussed would make Robert Generic look left wing. And some of it is so far to the left it makes Corbyn look far right.

All joking aside, I’m not sure if they are guilty of trying to be all things to all people, or they just have a wild brained leftie idea to spend money on something and then an ever more wild brained right wing idea of where to cut other spending to pay for it.

I really can’t see Starmer leading Labour at the next election but I hope he does.

"Diane Abbott has already suggested that Starmer’s recent musings on immigration are racist.

I think we have to accept that Starmer has been radicalised, probably from spending too much time watching Nigel Farage videos on YouTube. He seems pretty obsessed with Farage.

If we get within a year of a general election and it looks like Labour is facing total wipeout I would expect there to be attempts made to outlaw Reform. Ultimately Labour is only concerned with its own power and narrow power base, it has zero interest in the wider country.

Of course Labour has already cancelled local elections in areas where Reform was very strong so the precedent has been set.

Cancelled, or postponed? You understand those words mean different things? And the reasons for the postponements?

You really shouldn’t just repeat fake-news"

Cancelled. Many borough councils will now cease to exist and residents have lost the right to vote for them forever. The new elections will be for a completely different structure of unitary authorities and do not represent a 'postponement'.

I believe you would, but you’d call them centrist.

We have discussed before how many people believe they are centrist in the political arena but other people would say they are left wing or right wing. Perception is a wonderful thing

But I’ll take the bait and you can prove me right in my opinion and wrong in yours, that’s the beauty of politics.

I think the workers rights bill is pretty far to the left

Putting VAT on private schools

Nationalisation is pretty far left

Taxing businesses out of existence

Giving union members massive pay rises, probably more of that to come as well

And one i mentioned earlier today, ruling people on the far right of politics are terrorists but people on the far left aren’t.

And some person Starmer stuff like not being and to define what a woman is or if they have a penis or not.

" I think the workers rights bill is pretty far to the left "

Workers rights are not ‘far left’, let’s be honest. This is basic left leaving stuff common in modern soc-dem societies. It’s revealing how ‘man of the people Farage voted against it though, along with ‘the party of the working class’


" Putting VAT on private schools "

VAT is a very conservative tax, due to its flat rate nature - that’s why the Tories have traditionally raised it and Labour haven’t.

A far left policy would have been the banning of private schools, not taxing them.


" Nationalisation is pretty far left. "

It really isn’t.


" Taxing businesses out of existence "

Is that official policy? Not sure what page if the manifesto that’s on, tbf.


" Giving union members massive pay rises, probably more of that to come as well "

Union members? Or all workers regardless if union membership in some key industries (public and private)? What were the options available to the govt? Not get a deal down and leave strike ongoing?


" And one i mentioned earlier today, ruling people on the far right of politics are terrorists but people on the far left aren’t. "

‘People’ or groups? A key determining factor here. And feel free to name some far left terroir groups currently active in the U.K.


" And some person Starmer stuff like not being and to define what a woman is or if they have a penis or not. "

Not certain that sits anywhere in the political spectrum. Do all on the right share the same views on LGBTQ+ like some groupthink blob? Nor do those on the left.

Democracy must be allowed in any country, if the majority want to vote a certain way then the people have spoken even if the minority disagree, that said if Reform were to someday win an election the reality is nothing would change.

Also to correct you slightly, I mentioned the Richie Report into the riots, not the event itself.

You are right, in time there will be a report on what went wrong with recommendations to improve those areas, just as they will highlight work well done. As was done in the Shawcross report.

Obviously it's not something that would be said publicly but it appears to be the direction of travel - a disproportionate focus on far right terror threats (as noted by the Shawcross Review) and a wider definition of what constitutes far right, as shown in the training document this OP refers to. It's a matter of record that Prevent decided Axel Rudakubana was not a sufficient threat to be further investigated, a catastrophic failure.

One of the recommendations of the Shawcross Review was to promote a free speech narrative, yet labelling those with concerns about immigration as Cultural Nationalist seems the complete opposite of this.

If you're professionally involved with Prevent I understand your defensiveness, but to me it's clear the Shawcross Review was correct and it is going in the wrong direction and needs an urgent overhaul or replacement.

Ok, so you've read the Shawcross report, in full, which acknowledges that people involved in Prevent are doing good work. It made recommendations for improvement - not n overhaul or replacement.

It also said that the number of people saved by Prevent couldn't be measured.

Having completed the Prevent Duty training today, recommendations from Shawcross report to improve have been implemented.

One of the recommendations of the Shawcross Review was to promote a free speech narrative, yet labelling those with concerns about immigration as Cultural Nationalist seems the complete opposite of this. Shawcross also pointed out that many recommendations of the earlier Carlile Review were not implemented so it will be interesting so see what the next independent review says.

Anyone is susceptible to being radicalised. Anyone.

Any person starting of with cultural nationalism as a viewpoint is susceptible to far right extremism.

That's what is being said.

Not that cultural nationalism is inherently bad.

It's how it manifests in an individual and how they use that.

If those opinions are widespread within Prevent and the Home Office that is very alarming. It seems both have been radicalised by far left ideology."

Oh! Leo! You are focussing on the wrong element!

You started this thread suggesting that Reform COULD be outlawed, from your post

"quango Prevent has labelled concerns about 'mass immigration' and 'lack of integration' as a 'terrorism ideology' that should be referred to the organisation."

No, it hasn't

Do the training. You may be enlightened.

It’s pretty clear what’s happened to Prevent.

They start off from a position where the statistical reality is that the main terrorist threat to Britons is from Islamist terrorists.

However, as per usual the majority of government employees dealing with referrals are Leftists.

The Leftists aren’t comfortable with the reality of the vast majority of the people they are dealing with being Muslims. It doesn’t sit well with their world view and makes them uncomfortable.

So they get easily distracted by over inflating the threat of “far right terrorism” as it more easily fits with their prejudices.

None of which of course helps the British taxpayer as the State wastes its time fighting a non existent “enemy” while ignoring the real threat.

"New leaked advice from the anti radicalisation quango Prevent has labelled concerns about 'mass immigration' and 'lack of integration' as a 'terrorism ideology' that should be referred to the organisation.

Does this official advice mean the increasingly popular Reform Party could be outlawed ? Could it even threaten the future of Sir Kier Starmer who claimed Britain has become 'a nation of strangers'?

Or is it sensible advice to clamp down on those who hold popular views on this subject?

"

You can't make a political movement illegal unless you want to basically become Putin.

I think the workers rights bill is pretty far to the left

Workers rights are not ‘far left’, let’s be honest. This is basic left leaving stuff common in modern soc-dem societies. It’s revealing how ‘man of the people Farage voted against it though, along with ‘the party of the working class’

Putting VAT on private schools

VAT is a very conservative tax, due to its flat rate nature - that’s why the Tories have traditionally raised it and Labour haven’t.

A far left policy would have been the banning of private schools, not taxing them.

Nationalisation is pretty far left.

It really isn’t.

Taxing businesses out of existence

Is that official policy? Not sure what page if the manifesto that’s on, tbf.

Giving union members massive pay rises, probably more of that to come as well

Union members? Or all workers regardless if union membership in some key industries (public and private)? What were the options available to the govt? Not get a deal down and leave strike ongoing?

And one i mentioned earlier today, ruling people on the far right of politics are terrorists but people on the far left aren’t.

‘People’ or groups? A key determining factor here. And feel free to name some far left terroir groups currently active in the U.K.

And some person Starmer stuff like not being and to define what a woman is or if they have a penis or not.

Not certain that sits anywhere in the political spectrum. Do all on the right share the same views on LGBTQ+ like some groupthink blob? Nor do those on the left. "

Like I said. A left wing person doesn’t think far left ideas are far left. Thank you for proving my point 😊

So they want to be first against the wall when people don't have the option of voting for a party that represents their views then?

The original post talks about "outlawed" seems pretty obvious to me. Glad you agree then the people you berated as now being worried about what was past in parliament shouldn't be worried at all.
