“This definitely isn’t the first candidate or someone who is involved in Reform UK’s canvasing who has been found out to be saying things that the majority of the public would find deeply offensive.”

The recorded footage of a Reform canvasser using racist language will create difficulties for Farage when approaching similar behaviour from other members of his party, says Times Radio’s political commentator Alicia Fitzgerald.

    Rumour has it that this Reform campaigner isn’t actually a reform campaigner. However Mr Parker has closer associations with Channel 4.
  • If only the MSM knew how many of the public agree with him…
  • @caribstu
    PAID ACTOR pretending to be Reform canvasser opens ‘can of worms’ for channel 4 / Alicia Fitzgerald. There, I've corrected it for you.
  • A ‘well spoken’ actor, who allegedly worked with C4 in the past but put on a ‘rough voice’ to speak to little old ladies, door to door, using foul language,????? Very strange!
  • Just when radio 4’s listeners are in free fall, Times radio thinks it’s a good idea to be even more like radio 4.
  • Labour candidate in Clacton says "white mans tears is my favourite drink" and Adam Boulton @5.12 accuses Farage of racism for bringing it to the publics attention, without any challenge or correction from the presenter. Shockingly bad journalism from Times Radio.
  • @Richard-lt2zi
    He wasn’t a canvasser he’s an actor for Channel 4
  • The MSM think the public is thick and racist, the thing is we can see what you are doing. We don't like being told who to vote for.
  • @S1Rossco
    The media are starting to get real desperate now. Vote Reform 🇬🇧 It's now looking like yesterdays C4 "undercover" film involved a paid actor 🤬
  • @berserker6950
    The flak is getting worse, must be getting closer to the target.
  • We won't make a big deal out Tories betting scandal,or the racist Labour candidate in Clacton,but we've been told to go after Reform,and we obey our establishment masters.
  • So Channel 4 just happened to be covertly filming them. Have they covertly filmed any of the Labour activists offering to collect the postal vote forms and fill them in for non English speakers, or the ones in some of the Muslim enclaves .
  • @Cyber_Jar23
    Oh no, they said bad things. That's like this one time hundreds of Labour and Conservative MP's voted to invade Iraq for no reason, destroying a religion, creating terrorists, windows, orpahs, cripples, and refugees. But, those MP's who voted for that didn't use bad words so they are good people
  • I think this is actually going to work in Reform's favour and backfire on the media.
  • Flack when you're over target. The propaganda machine in overdrive
  • @Smellynelly67
    I'll be voting Reform,regardless of who the biased bbc want me to vote for
