George Finch, the Reform UK leader of Warwickshire County Council, has been accused of bigotry and censorship after suggesting LGBTQ+ books should be removed from local libraries.
But where exactly does this end? Libraries hold books on socialism and capitalism, atheism and every religion under the sun, evolution, the monarchy, and countless other contested ideas. Thatโs the point of a library: a place where people encounter perspectives that challenge, stretch, and broaden the mind.
Finch is only 19, and it shows. He may simply not have read enough to grasp how books cultivate critical thinking, empathy, and a more informed, more tolerant society.
Who on earth keeps voting for people this determined to stay ignorant?

@melodante12548@POCX100 Would you endorse an incoming power imprisoning anyone with different views to themselves?. Like they did in 1930's Germany for instance. If not then why the post?

Just Saying:
When the North Belfast attacker was granted a 5-year visa,
Suella Braverman (Reform MP) was Home Secretary
and
Robert Jenrick (Reform MP) was immigration minister.
They are the ones that let him into the country.
He's taking the entire country for fools โ aided and abetted by our shameful media.
Now he's doing it from a hiding place and not making himself available to answer questions โ it's been six weeks.
He's supposed to be a public servant, meaning that he can be held to account, but our lax Parliamentary rules say that he never has to turn up to his job if he doesn't want.
Far from being a party to change the system, Nigel Farage and Reform UK are experts in milking it for all it's worth.
How many houses does he really have? Nine Houses Nigel?
I'm certain Laura Kuenssberg will be all over his corruption when she is shouted at by Zia Yusuf later. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

@AdamKinzinger@WhiteHouse@POTUS ๐จ BREAKING: Following concerns about Trumpโs tendency to fall asleep during meetings, his optometrist has recommended glasses that keep him looking engagedโeven when heโs not.
Over the last 36 hours, we have witnessed the very soul of Nigel Farage โ his essence.
It has been over a month since he went into hiding, since serious questions began to be raised over his undeclared ยฃ5M donation.
A month since he appeared in front of TV cameras or underwent any questioning at all.
At 8am yesterday morning, Farage released a video, from a field somewhere, calling for rage. Calling for an end to the mythical two-tier policing.
Make no mistake, those were very carefully chosen words โ he understood what he was unleashing, and his wish was granted last night in Southampton.
On Tuesday, the Home Secretary made a statement to the House regarding the murder of Henry Nowack. There was, as always, an opportunity to question Shabana Mahmood โ was Nigel Farage in attendance?
No, of course not.
Today, Farage was granted a question at PMQs โ the showpiece spectacle of the political week in which the country's news and politics fanatics tune in to watch โ was Nigel Farage in attendance?
Yes, of course he was.
He had somehow found his way into work after missing 77 separate votes in Parliament because โฆ he would, at least for three minutes, be the centre of the country's political attention.
His question was about the murder of Henry Nowack and the violence that erupted [on his command] last night, but he would not condemn it or call for calm.
Instead, he 'suggested' that this rioting might escalate.
This afternoon, he has performatively written to the BBC because someone on Newsnight dared to accuse him of inciting the violence โ playing his perpetual victim card. Again.
And there we see the soul of Nigel Farage โ a craven, desperate for attention, evil, petty and pointless man.
END RANT.
@DukeofViseu@Heccles94 Really! So in your book they can't have any say about what's done in their son's name. Perhaps they don't want a load of racist fucks lobbing wheelie bins about in their son's name. Perhaps they feel it's an insult to the memory of their son, as any decent person would.
Hi @Nigel_Farage, youโre awfully quiet about everything these days.
Quiet in the Houses of Parliament, missing the last 77 votes.
Quiet about the ยฃ5m.
Quiet about the Clacton house.
Quiet about your friend Donald Trump.
Quiet about your support for Peter Mandelson.
It will all catch up with you.
