I too could also see the parallels between Reform and the Trump junta so thank you for your piece.

As you say it's a warning to all of us who care about democracy on what life would be like under the obnoxious Farage and his fellow oiks.

The Reform crowd in the Senedd are just as averse to questioning, amongst their other sins as the paid official opposition. Journalists covering Welsh affairs were conspicuous amongst those barred from their conference too, though since, like most of the rest of Reform's shenanigans in Wales, that went unnoticed in the rest of the UK perhaps "conspicuous" is the wrong word

Why am I not surprised at this. You could see it coming a mile off yet there are enough idiots who are prepared to put an X in he box for these FASCISTS !

It's out of the Trump playbook, but far more seriously, banning independent journalism is a massive step towards autocracy and dictatorship. I think Farage fancies himself as an autocratic ruler.

Josef Goebbels would be grinning in admiration at how they're following the Nazi example.

But do Reform's followers even care? They just believe.

WELL

The press are not on their own

I was bard from my Pendle-Colne in Lancashire Cllr meeting year age

They also refused me face to face meeting with all party Cllr

They then stopped reply to my emails covering up their personal Cllr mess

before we started to investigation them all for miss uses of our public funds

the investigation are still going on today in Pendle-Colne areas by us residents.

But you aren't a journalist Roy. You're vexatious troller. Big difference. One person's eccentric is another person's nutter.

I have never said I was a Journalist in any of my millions of post

I do in the U.K. and overseas Lets get that fact right now out of the way.

I and my team have been holding all Govt party Minister-M.P. Cllr -Mayor alike to account for about 28 years!!

And we also AID in removing the Govt party you voted for that fail the U.K. and its voters--I am not just one person our team is made up of about 60 fully retired people

that have skills we use to hold U.K. Govt to account.

DO-YOU HOLD U.K. GOVT TO ACCOUNT

or just sit at home reading my true post Y-N?

We also have a very good investigation team of skilled people

to do the foot work in all areas of the U.K.-Wales-N-Ireland-Scotland also.

We all voted for Brexit also the Govt failed to deliver to millions of Lancashire Brexit voter NOW -ANDY going to drag us back in -(I do not think so)

We will NOT RE-join Unless Tory -Labour pay the re-joining bill out of their own

party funds and do not use taxpayer money.

Finlay we are seeking to evict all illegal immigrants and terrorist boat people from the Govt training camps and barracks has we taxpayer own the property Not Govt party in power so we are the land loads Not Tory-Labour-Lib-Dem party leaders.

KEEP reading my up-dates the the eviction of immigrant!!!

I’m not sure whether this is fact or heresy . But I remember an allegation that Boris Johnson had a journalist roughed up for saying or writing something he didn’t like . Was this true ? Just asking
