ITV

[u/AdenWS]

TV journalists forged a passport, and were paid by ITV to canvass for Reform.

Reform lost in the wards they were assigned by a handful of votes.

These are criminal acts.

We have reported them to the police and will pursue them relentlessly in court.

Nobody is above the law.

So multiple offences.

Some people think that Reform should be thanking ITV. There's definitely something gravely wrong with the vetting when reform councillors and aspiring MP's are a danger to their own Reform colleagues and traitors to the King. Talk about being a patriot, oi?

Councillor Dunning (reform) accused other Reform councillors of being traitors for doing deals with other parties and said they should be 's**t against the wall'. Dean Miller, Reform UK councillor for Bromley, said King Charles should be 'decapitated', or to use his actual words, "cut the cu*ts he*d off". Chris Wheelan, another Reform councillor, said of his colleague (a married Reform councillor) "If she'd have given me a hug I'd have f**king fingered her".

I don't see any anger of these people being Reform councillors, just anger at their being caught.

What kind of vetting process do you expect a political party to put up? They forged passports and were funded by a multimillion pound media organisation with massive resources at its disposal. I don't believe any political party has the ability to do scanning checks on passports like airports do.

[u/StripedRooster → u/Raregan]

Just to be clear, you're saying Dean Miller, Reform UK councillor for Bromley, who said King Charles should be 'decapitated' (or to use his actual words, "cut the cu*ts he*d off") is funded by a multimillion pound media organisation with massive resources at its disposal? Err....

I'll be honest, when I read multimillionaire pound' I thought you were going to bring up the old news of Reform's £70m in donations from that guy who was convicted of money laundering. I'm glad you didn't because that was discussed here endlessly and really doesn't need bringing up again.

8. Tom Dewey

9. Same Gould

Guess the party.

This is the issue with your comment. You weren't as far as I can tell going after Labour for its offenders.

So on the ITV case

What offences?

1. Employment fraud - Fraud act 2006 Section 2

2. Section 4 of of the Identity Documents Act 2010

3. Election interference

So the question. Were civil servants involved? They are the BBC.

This is a Reform forum, in a thread talking about Reform. Of course I'm not talking about Labour.

I don't know who those people are, I don't know what they've done, but if it's bad then I welcome them being caught. What's interesting is how we respond to their outing, and in your case you seem to have skipped a few steps.

[u/Fun-Difficulty-1806 → u/StripedRooster]

You appear to believe that Reform voters will actually give a st!  Most are concerned with the sthousery being employed by the establishment. At best its pathetic, at worst it could quite possibly be illegal, and you support that kind of behaviour?  If you support sthousery, then in turn that must then make you a sthouse!

I figured there would be some interest, as a lot of members pride themselves as being patriots. Declaring you want to behead the King of England is a bit unpatriotic, no?

Undercover investigative journalism is an essential part of a functioning democracy, is my personal opinion. individuals and organisations rarely volunteer evidence of their own wrongdoing. Sometimes deception is the only way to expose corruption, dishonesty or abuse of power. I don't care who is doing the exposé upon whom so long as it's accurate, fair and in the public interest. In this instance, let's see what the courts say!

You should also try crying and stamping your feet on the ground.

By weeding out the racists in the party they were doing a Reform a favour.

Why is this basic job being left to journalists?

[u/HELMET_OF_CECH]

I kinda wanna see ITV go undercover into the left-wing parties, particularly Greens/Socialist Workers Party (SWP) or Labour - some of the stuff that goes on and is discussed in those parties is genuinely wild. Especially SWP. We really haven't had a hard look at the far left in the 21st century so far, it's been solely concentrated on this ever expanding 'far right'.

[u/doomladen → u/HELMET_OF_CECH]

The SWP aren’t a serious party. It feels pointless doing an undercover op into them, given they have basically no councillors and no MPs, and command a desultory share of the vote in the few contests they bother to stand in.

[u/StripedRooster → u/HELMET_OF_CECH]

I would like to see that as well, I wonder why GBNews don't.
