Reform Councillor Tom Pickup is in a far right WhatsApp group run by Jodie Scott which has:

Posts calling for Starmer to be shot (which Tom makes homophobic jokes about), right wing extremism, talk of stockpiling weapons to commit domestic terrorism and extreme racism.

Warning, shocking content.

So what I’m hearing from London Labour is they are crippling our fishing and shutting down our industry. In return however we should be grateful to receive nuclear reactors and a weapons factory to add to their toxic waste dumped here….err Feck off!#ScottishIndependenceNow

The #truth about #immigration.
Illegal immigration is 4% of total immigration into the UK. 60+% of those seeking asylum will be given the right to stay..
Deform , the Tories and Labour & MSM are making illegal immigration a bigger issue than it really is.
Stay informed , search for the truth.

Britain is an object lesson in how poorly arranged democracies can succumb to destructive positive feedback. The people who ensure a stagnant economy via Brexit enjoy political dividends blaming immigrants for the consequences of that very stagnation.

(US democracy is arranged at least as poorly.)

Scotland powers the Union. Literally. Oil. Gas. Wind. All flowing south to keep London’s lights on. Then they tell us we’re ‘subsidised’? That’s not unity. That’s extraction. Scotland has the energy but not the power. Independence means we’ll
have both. #IndependenceIsNormal

Well that says it all! it couldn’t be clearer.Scotland generates the energy that lets England enjoy cheaper bills, solar power, and extra funding for England’s NHS & schools, yet Scotland gets nothing! It’s a disgrace, and people need to stop ignoring the reality of how Scotland is treated😡#voteSNP
