"Bloody immigrants, coming over here and contributing to Democracy and paying taxes...."

Getting a real eye view of what Brits actually want from Immigrants, and that's to work hard, shut up and do what we tell you. If we didn't want Commonwealth Citizens coming over here and engaging in our Society then perhaps we should have gone over to there's and fucked them over for 200 years.

Reform takes control of Suffolk County Council and far-right party wins former ‘Little Moscow’ Leiston.

“Reform UK is now the party in charge at Suffolk County Council after winning 41 of 70 seats. The Conservatives had run the authority for 20 years.

The Greens also made gains and will find themselves back as the main opposition.” BBC.

These councillors will be in power for two years as the county moves toward a new unitary model scheduled for 2028.

Chris Hudson, a former Tory, is reputed to be not just on the far right, but is also a pretty dozy chap, and her certainly sounded like somebody with learning difficulties on BBC Radio Suffolk.

This is his record, “Following a series of Freedom of Information requests made by the Conservatives it has been revealed that Suffolk Reform leader Christopher Hudson has only attended 10% of his parish council meetings since 2021.

Mr Hudson’s Division comprises the parishes of Belstead, Burstall, Chattisham, Copdock and Washbrook, Hintlesham, Pinewood, and Sproughton.” Ipswich Star. March 2026.

This is their campaiging: “5th of May 2026

Reform UK has been accused of “trying to drive a wedge between communities” by other parties over what they say are misleading claims in election leaflets about the amount spent on translation services. BBC.

The leaflets claim the Conservative-run Suffolk County Council spends £283,000 on translation services for “those who refuse to integrate” as an example of its finances, which it called a “mess”.

The letters, delivered to homes in several villages in the Upper Gipping division, were signed by Charles Tilbury, the party’s candidate for the area.

Reform was approached but refused to comment.

The leaflets, seen by the Local Democracy Reporting Service, landed on the doormats of homes in villages including Haughley, Stowupland and Mendlesham.

They arrived ahead of elections for every seat on the county council, and for a third of Ipswich Borough Council’s seats, on Thursday.

Identical letters were posted through doors as far apart as Norfolk and Peterborough, with minor changes reflecting the different amounts being spent by respective authorities.”

The following is desperately sad: At Thursday’s county council election, there was yet more change. Reform UK’s Rachael Tecklenberg won the Aldeburgh and Leiston seat, turning it a lighter shade of blue.”

“Leiston, a Suffolk town, historically hosted a surprising Communist presence from the 1930s, often nicknamed a “little Moscow,” with Paxton Chadwick (a Summerhill school teacher) and Bill Howard serving as communist town councillors.” Bill Howard (a railway signalman at Saxmundham) was a communist councillor in the 1980s. “

Now more than ever, we need to focus on local and statewide #elections. Controlling local and municipal offices, state legislatures, and state-level elections are the foundations for a strong #democracy and protecting civil rights.

#statelegislature #localelections #localcontrol #votingrights #civilrights

As #Labour MP Catherine West gives an ultimatum to cabinet ministers to challenge #KeirStarmer's leadership in the wake of catastrophic #localelections results, she suggests he may be better suited "to an international role". What, like international #humanrights lawyer? 🫠
