Dear Editor
There is nothing sadder than seeing good people tear each other apart.
I am Australian therefore not at all invested in the Reform Party or Nigel Farage. I was thrilled to read some of his ideas and to see the response of the people of Britain to them. The world is a sad place and to see that someone in my father’s country of birth seemed to be doing something to make it better was simply wonderful.
But this seemingly wonderful person was strangely dismissive of the plight of Tommy Robinson. Give Nigel a chance, I thought, and I have. What I am seeing is probably the most heinous attack on an individual in the Western world and the person at the head (at the moment) of the Reform Party, pledging to make Britain Great again, is ignoring it and excusing his stance – because Tommy Robinson is what?
I am only an Australian and not very proud of it at the moment, but were I in Britain now I would not join Reform and I would keep looking for the sort of leadership Britain and Australia urgently need.
