1. Headlines in this election are becoming pure The Day Today.

2. Can’t wait to hear from people on here how this is politically irrelevant, or that he paid his fine so we should now all move on and vote for him, or how he probably had a good reason for kicking a dog.

   Let me get this out of the way: a court found him guilty. Using violence to stop an animal from harming a human, as he claims, would *absolutely* have been a legitimate defence. But the court heard his argument and decided there was no room for reasonable doubt of the fact that he was abusing animals. The fact that he still clings to a defence that couldn’t be supported in a court of law suggests he hasn’t done any introspection or changed in the slightest.

   This guy is scum and Reform should have absolutely been aware of his criminal record when they selected him.

3. This is so predictable. Farage really should have seen this coming but the lure of publicity was obviously too much for him.

   Once the Reform “manifesto” has been torn apart, once dozens of Reform candidates have had to resign because they turn out to be scum, he is going to which he just pissed off to America to suck up to Trump.

4. The dog was obviously a paid actor in another smear by the left wing wokie cabal.

5. It is like they have gone out and deliberately sought out the worst possible candidates.

   But then I suppose they only have a pool of Reform Party members available, so there isn’t a great choice.

6. Dog kicking? Makes a change from the usual dog whistling that these Reform scumbags and their ilk seem to like doing.

7. The only saving grace of the far right is that they are generally (at least publicly) animal lovers. Racist pets was the best every twitter page. Wonder how they will spin this one in their addled little brains

8. >The incident took place on July 24, 2022 in Lanngdon Lane in the west Dorset village.

   That makes it two years ago, which according to Reform is officially “offence archaeology”

9. You know I’m starting to think that these guys are real jerks!

10. This man is currently projected by at least one poll to become the MP (my constituency). Christ

11. Did anyone else hear ‘you kicked my dog’ in a thick indan accent after reading this headline?

12. Kicking dogs.

    Deform UK’s take on “British values” leave a lot to be desired.

    I find them to be incompatible with our society. They should take their foreign funding and piss off.

13. Amazing there going after reform but not all the other party’s…. Like they are scared or somthing……

14. Well I don’t like the bloke, but I do think actually kicking Farage is a step too far.

15. I swear they are just copying the American political handbook. They had a politician that shot a dog, we need one too.

16. it’s okay guys, the dog comes from a family of immigrants

17. So they quite literally kick puppies? Satire is real

18. From his photo, he’s erm, he’s made an interesting choice of party, that’s for sure.

19. Wait til you see what Labour MP Keith Vaz did with rent boys and cocaine

20. Wonderful Labour MP Claudia Webbe was found guilty of threatening an acid attack .. the kinder gentler politics .

21. So i could send this to my family to be like “this is what you are potentially considering” i also am aware how sly that is

22. I think Hitler could run for Reform and there would still be someone more reprehensible than him also running.
