  Paul Webb, Reform UK’s communities portfolio holder who oversees libraries, said the move came after a “concerned member of the public” contacted him.

  Good money says the concerned member of the public was Paul himself.

    There’s a reason they call it TERF island

  Just in case it wasn’t obvious, the head of Kent Council is a Reform member.

  Turns out they lied, one book targeted at adults got moved from the welcome area to further back in the library. Truly an impressively incompetent bunch these Reform councilors.

    If there’s one thing Trump has taught us, it’s that you don’t need to be competent or have even an ounce of intelligence to bring about the nightmare fascist takeover of your country.

    Britain stood firm against the far right in the war.

    Will we stand against Reform now?

      I honestly have my doubts, politicians have been dumbing down the education system for years, it’s now biting them in the butt. Nobody thought that the internet would become a far better educator than the State.

      Shame the curriculum is absolutely tosh

  “My fellow Reform members and I believe that our young people should be protected from exposure to potentially harmful ideologies”

  The whole f*ing Reform platform is a toxic and actively harmful ideology. Projection as usual from the far right.

  Is there anything we can do about this bullshit?

    I’d be tempted to just move the book back where it originally was myself if I happened to live nearby.
