Reform UK expels Northumberland councillor for alleged PM threats

WWW.BBC.CO.UK

---

John Allen now sits as an unaligned councillor in Northumberland after allegedly making the threats.

Threats to kill a sitting Prime Minister.

He should get at least the 5 years that the asylum seeker with the AK tattoo'd on his face, got for threatening Farage.

They’ve updated the article since this morning as there was no mention of the council overturning it originally - I guess they’ve been forced to today due to the bad publicity!

Public opinion percolated through to them eventually.

What a fookin idiotic thing to do trying to fine her for that in the first place. Although, was it coffee in that cup, and was it just the one girl?

When Amsterdam was occupied the Jews suffered terribly, banned from public places, many rounded up and sent to the camps to be murdered.

Now what? Now some of todays Jews, namely hardline Israelis have dealt some out themselves. 

 

Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip, UN Commission finds

16 September 2025

I also used to assume the UN were impartial.  Sadly they are not.  I’m afraid their links to Hamas mean their opinion is irrelevant.

 

And just to remind you, what exactly did Hamas expect Israel would do when over a thousand of their citizens were brutally slaughtered two years ago by an organisation who have the publicly stated aim of killing all Jews?

 

What did Britain do to Germany in response to the Blitz?  Do you know how many civilians were deliberately slaughtered by the British in an attempt to gain the upper hand?

So in your summing up you have not one bit of empathy for all the Palestinians murdered by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. Of course the UN says the settlements are illegal, but what with the UN being in with Hamas and all they would say that wouldn't they.

Talking to you and trying to reason with you about this - I feel like you're on the side of oppressors, completely brainwashed. Like our government who banned Palestine Action. Of course Palestine Action and similar groups want to hit out at anything they think has helped arm Israel. Israel is to my mind a vicious apartheid state.

I'm like so what about the murders commited by Hamas, honestly. The reason is because for decades all Palestinians have been treated terribly by Israel. Israel steals their land - it's a fact. If the news reports of de facto annexation are made up, then maybe they made up the whole war.

Here is a handy little graphic for you:

 

How many each side have killed over the years preceeding 2023. Israel have now killed over 10x the number that were killed, I am not sure if that is a justifiable level of response.
