Electoral violence
Elections bring out the best and the worst in people. In the past few days I have been the subject of unwanted attention from people who don't like or agree with my campaign to build a better Britain in a better Europe for a better World. My car has been scraped with a key along two panels, probably at a cost of £400 and someone took a knife to my bicycle tyre. I have reported both to the police to no avail thus far. Here is the car damage:
And the slashed bicycle tyre. My bicycle shop confirm this is the work of a knife due to the clean cut, the length of the cut and the fact that it has severed all the woven fabric cleanly.
And it continues online. I have made a number of videos over the course of the campaign and have been subjected to various pile ons by Reform UK voters. Many of them have no followers or contents on their You Tube Accounts and I'm led to think that some are bots, nonetheless, they are relentless. On the upside, they have greatly boosted my stats !! :-). Every cloud .... See the comments on these videos for some levity:

For balance, this heartwarming post from a local resident's facebook group gives hope. Most people are decent and we cannot be led by a few ar...holes.

6moRecognise there are much more serious comments to make but "Ken Barlow" is probably one of the most successful soap stars of all time. Please be careful though. While many are just so frustrated they don't realise the people behind Reform UK don't care about them... many are quite fanatical and the right is stirring them up.

6moSorry to see what has happened Peter and sadly so many just lash out and do not wish to hear anything other than the Populist garbage being fed to them 😊
