Reform Reports Channel 4 to Police for “Electoral Interference” Over “Planted” Racist Activist – the Activist Says He is “Glad” and “The Truth Will Come Out in the Papers”

by Will Jones
29 June 2024 4:29 PM

Reform U.K. has reported Channel 4 to the police and Electoral Commission for “electoral interference” over the secret filming of a racist activist who the party says was a plant. The Telegraph has more.

Andrew Parker, a part-time actor who lists “secret filming” among his skills, was shown in a Channel 4 News bulletin using a racial slur against Rishi Sunak.

Nigel Farage has said he wanted nothing to do with Reform candidates who have been exposed as racists – but claimed the incident involving Mr. Parker was staged, prompting Channel 4 to stand by its reporting.

Adam Richardson, the Reform Secretary and a barrister, said he had also made a formal complaint to Essex Police on behalf of Mr. Farage.

In his letter to the Electoral Commission, Mr. Richardson said it was “entirely evident that Mr. Parker was a plant within the Channel 4 News piece”.

“It is wholly unbelievable that by complete coincidence Channel 4 was performing an undercover investigation and by chance was paired up to go canvassing with a man who was pretending to be someone else, using a false voice and saying almost exclusively racist and bigoted remarks.

“The Channel 4 broadcast has clearly been made to harm Reform U.K. during an election period, and this cannot be described as anything short of election interference.

“It is entirely untrue that Mr. Parker had any connection with Mr. Farage as he details in the documentary, and has obviously attempted to use this fictional association to smear him in the national media and damage his campaign.”

Parker himself has now said that the truth will come out “in the papers”.

“It’ll all come out in the papers, what’ll come out is the truth,” he told the PA news agency. 

According to the Telegraph, he declined to say whether he had been paid by Channel 4 to appear in the footage, but added that he was “glad” that Reform had reported the broadcaster to the Electoral Commission.

Does this mean he has sold his story to a newspaper? Let’s hope so.

Stop Press: Farage has said he is boycotting the BBC – declining an invitation to appear on Laura Kuenssberg – over last night’s Question Time, where the supposedly balanced audience asked only hostile questions and failed to applaud him once. He called it “the most extreme example” of bias he had seen in 25 years of appearing on BBC programmes.

🚨 POLITICAL INTERFERENCE ALERT 🚨

It comes as no surprise that that the #BBCQT audience last night was rigged.

These were not ordinary members of the public.

Irrelevant to me I would never contact them if i got burgled, assaulted etc. Never be a police witness because the likelihood is that they will start suspecting you. Steer clear and if you do ever meet them make it clear that you aren’t a schmuck willing to tolerate any crap.

“Never be a police witness because the likelihood is that they will start suspecting you.”

It is worse. Reporting crime is extremely risky. Being a victim of crime even more so.

If you report being a victim of crime they will believe the criminals who are well versed in convincing lies and accuse you instead.

A trusted source told me of an occasion when present where two police officers attended premises to arrest a criminal who rents out a 9mm pistol to other criminals.

After a private discussion between the police officers and the criminal, the police officers left with no arrest or search of the premises.

How much did that cost?

No more police. No more ambulances. You have a crisis you solve it at home. Some guy enters your house you will have to say to him – ‘this is your house now’. No one is coming to save you there is no British state. You are either strong or you are weak.

They have already taken you over it is just a matter of accepting it. The Islamic defeat of England took about fifteen seconds.

Everything about England these days is Islam at its most strident. Lets be honest we have become an Islamic culture. I would say that this is unlikely to change for several hundred years even though Islamic culture is a regression. We can’t stop it. Either get circumcised or someone will do it for you.

Decimating the police forces is part of the
Marxist Frankfurt School 11-Point Plan to Destroy the West.
See Point 8:

1.  Create Racism Offences for Whites Only
2.  Induce Trauma through Injustice
3.  Teach Sex and Sodomy to Children
4.  Undermine Parents’ and Teachers’ Authority
5.  Force Mass Immigration to Destroy Ethnic Identity
6.  Create Confusion by Continual Change
7.  Empty the Churches
8.  Encourage Crime to Destabilize Society
9.  Create Dependency on the State by Welfare Benefits
10. Promote Drugs, Pornography and Alcoholism
11. Encourage the Breakdown of the Family

Maybe they won’t be able to go around arresting young kids anymore, then. No idea what’s occurred here but even if the lad is of the scally ASBO shoplifting type this does seem a tad excessive. Have they actually cuffed him?

Or perhaps they’ll just use more Community Support Officer clowns who can’t make arrests but can detain you by grabbing your arm while they ring for back-up, just because they don’t like the look of you and aren’t fans of free speech;

”This man was told he was being detained by a community support officer for using a megaphone, luckily he knows that isnt a crime & makes him look like an idiot.”

Ten years ago I would’ve been happy to go to a pub with mixed company and I would’ve worn western clothes. These days I wear a white pyjama-like outfit because of comfort. You are describing a battle that was lost twenty years ago. Those slovenly lugubrious characters in Muslim drag – whether you accept it or not they have beaten you.And that is in every country in Europe. You took your eye off the ball.

Presumably all the police officers and staff will be affected by the increases in employer’s taxation as well as the pay increases and the effects of promotion over time. Perhaps some consideration could have been given to this by the Chancellor? No, oh OK then. Not a good idea really for such clever people to be unable to do joined up thinking.

Well Starmer has just pledged 11 million quid for Syria, so I’m wondering how many police officers that could’ve been spent on to sit and pore over white people’s social media posts before they come and kick the doors in to arrest them. Being serious though, that could’ve gone towards the pensioners who are in for a freezing winter now rather than fund a Jihadi Xmas party 😮

”The UK will commit £11m in additional humanitarian aid, as the world waits to see how the country will move on from decades of dictatorship.
It’s being directed towards “the needs of the most vulnerable”, with 370,000 people estimated to have been displaced by recent events.”

Well we’ve seen what they consider ‘priorities’, haven’t we? And none of it benefits the citizens. Uniparty have been haemorrhaging money all over the place. Another example;

”Last year the government lost between £55 – £81 billion pounds to fraud and error.

More than what it spends annually on defence.

Perhaps when Elon Musk has finished setting up DOGE in the US, he can help build something similar in Britain.”

https://x.com/TraytonBaker/status/1866185339548668101

”Almost as astonishing as the sums involved is the lack of interest from politicians and officials. Half a trillion pounds of public spending isn’t subject to any form of fraud measurement.”

Might be just me but I am not concerned about there being less Syrians as it makes more space for us to send all those here back where they belong. Missed a chance to round them up while they were out on the streets.

What difference will cuts to the police make?
They don’t really solve any real crimes anyway. Burglary, shoplifting, theft – stuff like that.
Their activities, as far as I can tell, consist of:

  • knocking on people’s door to check their thinking,
  • investigating “non-crime hate incidents”,
  • protecting woke demonstrations (extinction rebellion, etc)
  • protecting anti-Semitic mob,
  • prancing around like robo-crops, driving rainbow coloured cars and looking simultaneously menacing and stupid.

To the extent this a real problem (non crime hate incidents etc) it is one which can be solved by diverting about one day’s worth of net zero subsidies to the police.

Most other issues where there are genuine funding problems as opposed to made up invented shit can be solved in the same way.

Will they be?

To ask the question is to answer it.

Did you see the Government’s response to the general election petition? To quote one section:

“The Government’s first Budget freed up tens of billions of pounds to invest in Britain’s future while locking in stability, preventing devastating austerity in our public services and protecting working people’s payslips.”

I fail to see how saddling our police forces with above-inflation pay rises for existing officers, and promising to recruit more, without providing the additional financial resources they need, thus forcing staff cuts, is very different from “devastating austerity”.

I guess the DEI staff will be exempt from any cuts as will the LGBTQ+ liaison teams.

Essex will retain staff trained to interview journalists on their doorsteps about tweets they made and deleted.

Cuts will be made, we can supose, to any officers capable of looking for thieves.

Police are paid for by County and Unitary Authorities. The costs only go up because the wages go up faster than efficiency and pension costs go up because they have not been properly funded. To cover that the local authorities raise taxes from property owners and occupiers. So how come there is a shortfall.

Essex police budget is about £360 million a year. Eight authorities are listed but the total involved is said to be ten. That means the total spend will be about £3 billion. A £300 million shortfall suggests costs thave risen ten per cent above the rate of increase planned and financed through council tax, etc.

It all looks a bit dodgy to me.

So another excuse to put council tax up, another excuse as to why crime is rife, and here’s a thought, make these left wing loonys pay to “police” their own “,protests”, that should save a few million, or perhaps we should just get rid of them altogether, after all not exactly working for the average brit, are they

Perhaps that’ll mean a bit less “Hate Speech” Intimidation from Plod then.

The Telegraph revealed last week that the Metropolitan Police force is braced for reductions of up to 2,300 officers out of a force of 34,000

I don’t think we’ll notice the difference. The police gave up policing a long time ago.

To some extent I agree with most of the comments on this thread – I didn’t call police when I was assaulted by an Islamist woman wearing a face covering for example as I feared they would arrest me and not her – but on other occasions when I was assaulted by a neighbour and when a neighbour called police on my behalf, police attended very quickly and went out of their way to be helpful and made it clear that if I needed them to come back that they would respond immediately with blue lights. So I think it depends on which demographic is involved in any altercation. I’m a 75 y o white woman so perhaps they tend to respond to my age group and gender and perhaps I’m also more likely to be believed than white males of any age. I’ve also had good responses generally if I’ve ever had to call an ambulance and impressed that the last thing they want to do is take you to hospital so they take a great deal of care and spend time checking you out. And I’d add that I’m in West London so it’s MET police responding
