Left Foot Forward: Leading the UK's progressive debate
LBC’s James O’Brien has exposed the hypocrisy of Reform UK accusing Zack Polanski of inciting murder by sharing a social media post despite the party championing Lucy Connolly.
The words “We’re only making plans for Nigel” are the same as the lyrics of a 1979 song by band XTC.
But Reform has now reported Polanski to the police for sharing the image, and Nigel Farage has said he should be arrested, while Zia Yusuf has accused him of inciting murder.
O’Brien pointed out that Reform has expressed outrage at Polanski accidentally sharing an image which he then deleted and accused him of inciting murder.
Meanwhile, they have treated Connolly, who was jailed for inciting racial hatred after calling for her followers to set fire to asylum hotels, as a “folk hero”.
