In 1909 Frank Keegan was one of the rescue party that saved 26 miners at West Stanley. So even though his grandson Kevin was a Yorkshireman, there were deep bonds of affection - and genetics - that tied KK to the North East. It’s hard to express just how much much we loved him. RIP King Kev
On the issue of what stirs up hate:
* Reform hosted Lucy Conolly on their main stage at conference
* Senior members of Reform, such as Zia Yusuf, regularly describe their political opponents as "traitors"
* When Keir Starmer's house was firebombed, prominent Reform supporters circulated Russian propaganda minimising, and joking about, the attack
So when it comes to political discourse what are the rules. If jeering at Nigel Farage in the House of Commons chamber crosses a line, what is the line now.
This is textbook victimhood politics. Every question becomes a conspiracy. Every criticism becomes an attack on "the people".
Nigel Farage isn't Britain, Reform isn't democracy, and scrutiny isn't persecution.
If your political argument collapses the moment someone asks difficult questions, perhaps the problem isn't the questions.

A lot of people maybe unaware but @CountBinface raises money for Shelter through his merchandise sales on his intergalatic website.
Nigel Farage helps himself.
