I just saw this Guardian article from a couple of days ago flagged up on a Facebook page, and it instantly sent me into my usual spasms of rage. The Beeb has apparently been forced to apologise for calling thee Reform Party ‘far right’. WTF? That is utterly, utterly absurd, and I find the fact that Reform made such a demand sickening. The BBC, possibly one of the greatest, most trustworthy broadcasters on Earth, has nothing to apologise for. The group of reactionary, judgemental xenophobes known as Reform don’t want to be grouped together with the type of knuckle-dragging scumbag which comes to mind when you call someone far right, but if something looks like shit, smells like shit, and squishes like shit, it’s a shit! Reform can try to deny it all they like, but they are the kind of reactionary, intolerant, arrogant bigots which any enlightened twenty-first century society needs to outgrow, and the BBC had every right to call them what they are.
