Reform UK’s candidate for Mayor in Doncaster this May has been accused of making “openly racist comments” following the train stabbings over the weekend.

In posts on Sunday, responding to Saturday’s mass stabbing attack on the Doncaster to London King’s Cross train, Reform councillor Alexander Jones explicitly attributed the crime to “individuals” who were “not English” and instead “Black and of Caribbean descent” – despite the alleged killer being British.

      *par for the course

      But yeah, you’re right. Hopefully now they’re moving out of dog-whistle territory, any decent people who’ve been tricked will see them for what they really are.

      They pay black people to hand out leaflets outside train stations though. I ran into a UKIP one in like 2014ish in london. Same party, same bollocks, same idiots.
