And now Farage has suspended a party councillor for letting the mask slip too far:

Tom Pickup, who was elected to Lancashire county council in May […] posted: “Everyone in Reform is a lot more hardline on immigration than is typically stated publicly, to get a majority government we have to be tactical.”

[…] Pickup, who was the council’s lead member for resources and finance, admitted he was a member of the group but said his messages had been “twisted out of context”. He said he was not aware of the more extreme posts, which included one person allegedly calling for a “mass Islam genocide” and encouraging others to stockpile weapons to attack “lefties” and “migrants”.

I think this will make his followers like him more not less.

I sure said a lot of stupid rude shit when I was at school too.

I guess the difference is that I learned more about the world, matured, and stopped saying rude stuff and apologised a few people.
