Reform UK votes for cabinet-led review of flags that can be flown at County Hall

A row has broken out over Reform UK’s plans to limit the type of flags flown over Lancashire County Council’s headquarters.

The authority’s ruling group voted to launch a cabinet-led review of the symbols that can be raised at County Hall in Preston.

However, the party has already nailed its preferences to the mast, claiming that the proposed changes are designed to unify all Lancastrians under the banners of Lancashire and the UK – regardless of other aspects of their identity.

But opposition groups noted that the Pride flag, representing the LGBT community, would be the principal casualty of the rethink – and accused Reform of engaging in a culture war.

Nigel Farage’s DOGE firebrands are already at war

Reform UK is mounting an Elon Musk-inspired bid to slash state “waste.” The fireworks have already begun.

MAIDSTONE, England — Half an hour into a Kent County Council meeting, council leader Linden Kemkaran has already taken aim at trans women in a “wig and a skirt” and migrants “invading” Britain.

This is the Garden of England — home to farmers, commuters, vineyards, seaside poverty, rich London escapees, and the beaches where tens of thousands of migrants have landed in inflatable dinghies — and it now belongs to Reform UK.

Reform councillor’s boast about removing ‘trans-ideological’ books from children’s library sections was a lie

Paul Webb said he ensured books and material were pulled from children’s section of Kent libraries, but it emerges they were never there

A boast by a Reform UK councillor that he ensured the removal of “trans-ideological material and books” from the children’s section of his county’s libraries has fallen flat after it emerged that no such material ever existed there.

Backlash as Reform claims trans books removed from children’s library section

A council leader has been criticised after claiming the authority had removed transgender-related books from the children’s sections of its libraries.

In a post on social media, Kent County Council’s Reform UK leader Linden Kemkaran said the books were to be removed with immediate effect in a “victory for common sense in Kent”.

However, the council said a single transgender-related book aimed at adults was relocated from a display at the entrance of a library to a section unlikely to be visited by children.

Labour MP for Chatham and Aylesford Tristian Osbourne has called the alleged removal of the books “unedifying gender baiting of the LGBT community”.

Reform UK-Led Kent Council Removes Trans-Themed Books from Children’s Library Sections

Kent County Council, led by the Reform UK party, has announced the removal of all books featuring transgender themes from the children’s sections of its libraries—a move that has sparked significant backlash and concern.

The council’s leader, Linden Kemkaran, revealed the decision via X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, 2 July. “Another victory for #commonsenseinKent,” she wrote. “My brilliant cabinet member Cllr Paul Webb has just got this trans material REMOVED from the children’s sections of all Kent’s libraries. Telling children they’re in the ‘wrong body’ is wrong and simply unacceptable.”

The announcement did not include details on which specific titles or materials were removed, nor how many books are affected. Kent County Council oversees 99 community libraries and operates five mobile library vans.

Antony Hook, the Liberal Democrat opposition leader in the council, criticised the announcement as both “vague” and “bizarre”, particularly as it was made on social media rather than through formal council channels. Hook has formally written to the head of Kent Library Services seeking clarification on what materials are being removed.

Reform council brings in ‘British values’ flag rules

Leicestershire County Council’s new Reform leadership has scrapped the authority’s flag flying policy in its first cabinet meeting.

The move, approved at a meeting on Thursday, means a previously agreed schedule of flags to be displayed outside County Hall in Glenfield has been discontinued.

The list included flags to mark events celebrating LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Gypsy Roma and Traveller History Month and Windrush Day.

New Reform council leader Dan Harrison said the changes to flag flying protocols were “to celebrate British values that unite us all”.

Some staff groups at the council, where Reform formed a minority administration following May’s local elections, raised concerns about the move.

Harrison described the eight-minute cabinet meeting, which had only the flag flying policy on the agenda, as “historic”.

Leicestershire social workers object to Reform policy they fear ‘promotes exclusion and marginalisation’

Removing these flags promotes exclusion and marginalisation – it implies people represented by those flags are not welcome

More than 100 Leicestershire social workers have spoken out against a new Reform UK policy they fear “promotes exclusion and marginalisation”. Their comments follow a decision by Reform to change which flags can fly at the Leicestershire County Council headquarters, in Glenfield.

The new policy means that community flags, such as the Pride flag and the disabled people’s flag, will not automatically be raised in the inner quadrangle at County Hall to celebrate events and celebration days. Instead, a decision will be taken by the chief executive “following consultation with the leader of the council”, the party’s Dan Harrison, over whether they can fly or not, leading some to fear they will not be flown going forward.

Some 102 social workers at the council have now written to councillors and the new Reform cabinet to “loudly” and “overwhelmingly” oppose the change in policy. They said they felt that flying community flags was a “vitally important” symbol from the council that it was “supportive of marginalised groups”.

Reform’s phony war on ‘woke’

Three times Reform UK pledged to scrap schemes that don’t exist

Reform UK wants to scrap anything with even a hint of ‘woke’ about it. Now that they run 10 councils, they have their opportunity.

There’s just one problem: they keep targeting schemes that just don’t exist – at least not outside the imagination of the right wing press.

‘Posturing’: Farage’s Reform-quake so far limited to small acts of ‘war on woke’

Reform promised much to voters and now runs £8bn worth of public services. After three weeks, what has party accomplished?

When Nigel Farage held a victory lap of England after his mammoth local elections win on 1 May, he was characteristically bullish about Reform UK’s plan to shake up town halls.

[…]

Yet three weeks into power in nine of England’s cash-starved local authorities – where Reform UK now runs £8bn worth of public services – Farage’s “Reform-quake” has been limited to smaller but symbolic acts of the “war on woke”.

In Kent and Durham, councils with a combined £1bn of debt, one of Reform’s first acts was to take down the Ukrainian flag – hoisted to show solidarity with the war-besieged nation – and vowed not to fly rainbow-coloured flags in support of LGBTQ+ residents.

Over the past eight or so years, I've been asked on numerous occasions how I could be so certain that Trumpworld and the right wing authoritarian tech billionaires that are funding the movement were literally fascists. The simple answer to that question is because I know where the ideas that motivate them and animate their movement come from. As openly fascistic as the Trump regime's exercise of power has been so far, if you peel back a single layer to look at the people providing the ideological framework for those activities, you almost always find literal nazis.

Take for example the Trump regime's frequently self-identified "war on woke." On its face, the collection of policies and activities used to wage the "war on woke" so far have been fundamentally Christian Nationalist, white supremacist, patriarchal, and eliminationist in nature. If however you peel back the top surface of this "war" you find three major ideological propagandists driving the entire agenda: specifically Peter Boghossian, Christopher Rufo, and Richard Hanania; whose frankly odious ideas have had a huge influence on the Republican Party, and the Trump administration. These three have waged a war on higher education, diversity, and the very concept of racial or gender equality, that is expressly endorsed by most of the same far right billionaires who paid to make Trump president; including Marc Andressen, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, and Vivek Ramaswamy. So what happens if you peel back another layer of this fascist onion to find out who is funding and promoting guys like Hanania, Rufo, and Boghossian? You find a rich cracker tech bro, and a eugenicist running a recently rebranded foundation that supports white supremacists, promotes scientific racism, and was literally founded by Nazis. No, really:

Trump’s War on ‘Woke’ and DEI: Incubated by a Nazi Eugenics Foundation

"The ‘war on woke’ did not suddenly appear. It is an idea deeply rooted in a form of scientific racism that has been laundered into the mainstream over decades by the Pioneer Fund and right-wing activists connected with this group.

This nexus of ties to Pioneer Fund entities and ideology throws new light on how the Trump administration’s attacks on DEI are the fruit of a broader white supremacist endeavour inspired by Nazi-aligned ideology.

It also suggests that the increasing normalisation of the Nazi salute by Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and others is not an accident either – but a signal; one we would do well not to ignore."

Unfortunately this article is a long read, and it's easy to get bogged down in the idea that the problem here is the "ancient" history of the Human Diversity Foundation/Pioneer Diveristy fund, but if you keep reading the author is very clear that the politics and priorities of the foundation, haven't changed much in the modern era.

"But last year, Hope Not Hate revealed that a network of white supremacist activists was secretly rehabilitating the Pioneer Fund under the new Human Diversity Foundation brand identity.

The aim has been to normalise the Pioneer Fund’s Nazi-aligned scientific racism in the mainstream through the notion of open debate and ‘free’ inquiry. Scientific racism has been rebranded as the story of ‘human biodiversity’.

The key funder supporting this initiative was revealed to be American technology entrepreneur Andrew Conru, who donated $1.3 million to the HDF. Around the same time, Conru was also funding the most influential conservative voices attacking DEI and ‘critical race theory’ – Christopher Rufo, Peter Boghossian, and Richard Hanania.

HDF’s magazine, Aporia, was founded by British far-right activist Matthew Frost. Conru’s donation provided him with a 15% stake in the group. It has defended Richard Lynn’s pseudoscientific racism, published an interview with Nazi sympathiser Jared Taylor, and in 2024 claimed that racial stereotypes are “reasonably accurate”.

Hope Not Hate’s undercover reporting recorded far-right activists associated with the HDF calling for “remigration” – the ‘mass removal of ethnic minorities’.

Kirkegaard is the long-time editor of the Pioneer Fund-backed eugenics journal Mankind Quarterly, a founding board member of which was Nazi eugenicist Otmar von Verscheur – who taught and mentored Josef Mengele, the notorious Nazi SS officer known as the ‘Angel of Death’ for performing medical experiments at Auschwitz.

In 2023, both Kirkegaard and Frost attended a notorious neo-Nazi gathering known as the “Scandza Forum” in Estonia, hosted by Scandinavian neo-Nazi Fróði Midjord. The conference was that year renamed ‘Guide to Kulchur’ after a book by Nazi sympathiser and Holocaust supporter Ezra Pound.

Kirkegaard inherited the assets of the Pioneer Fund from its former long-time president Richard Lynn before he died in July 2023."

As #Canadians vote for our new Prime Minister, lest we forget how #PierrePoilievre used #RemembranceDay to denigrate activists and organizers he deemed “too woke” via his populist X account.

"What an absolute disgrace that so many woke activists & authorities used Remembrance Day to push their divisive and radical causes, denigrating our history and the brave military members who sacrificed for it," Poilievre said in a social media post Tuesday.

Divide and conquer is not a strategy that will unite #Canada against our true shared threat, fascist America and it’s war on truth.

Trump’s Anti-‘Woke’ Task Force Is Combining Sloppy Search Terms With Nearly Nonexistent Vetting

2025-02-23

Pierre Poilievre already limits journalists to one question with no follow up so as to control rhe narrative and record clickbait for his fascist “X” followers.

His vitriol for left wing “radical woke” media now has him banning all press but his loyalist partisan groups.

Make no mistake, this is straight out of Trump’s playbook. Pierre will defund the #CBC while boosting right wing #RebelNews and other partisan media as our only “acceptable” Canadian news sources.

#PierrePoilievre has fully embraced the populist division of Canadians as his key winning strategy.

Those of us who continue to question his motives or intentions are soon to be ignored and banished from his palace if he is given power.

Under Poilievre’s Canada, those deemed “woke” will be targeted and discriminated against as part of Conservative policy, with no questions allowed.

This is not my Canada. This is not my Prime Minister.

Conservatives have now begun their much anticipated anti Carney attack ad campaign. Their new spicy slogan? Just like Justin. How original of them. Such creative alliteration from well paid propagandists.

Liberals and NDP should fire this same strategy back on petty Pierre Poilievre and his collaborator Conservatives.

American teachers need to resist obeying these fascist censorship orders en masse, teach every child this list of words extensively and explain why every word matters.

Make these maga authoritarians show their true vitriol by forcing them to go after those who defy them.

Show other Americans the result of disobeying Trump’s authoritarian dictatorship. Let Trump’s maga militia be the first to spill blood on the American flag over the right to free speech. After that, let the true rebellion begin.

Americans can still stop this coup by disobeying in advance. Project 2025 needs mass submission to proceed without bloodshed.

Stand up together against Trump’s dictatorship and Musk’s robber baron coup. Make them use their foot soldiers so there can be no more whitewashing of fascism in mainstream media.

Maga Neo Nazis are here, and they want to burn out “wokeism” one word at a time.

Fight them back while America still remembers what the Constitution means to the Nation it protects.

The world is watching America. Canada stands with you in resisting Trump. Let us fight together against this populist rise of fascism.

The tech billionaire war on "woke" is really a war on workers

salon.com/2025/01/17/the-tech-

pretending it's about masculinity is a good way to distract from the mundane fact that, like a stereotypical capitalist parasite, Zuckerberg has adopted a hostile posture towards his own workers. Perhaps, like so many of the hyper-rich before him, he doesn't like being reminded that, without his staff, he would be nothing…
