As predicted, whilst Nigel Farage can be rightfully credited with coming out against the tactics - if not the goal - of the ‘Patriot Platform’ ‘protestors’, some of his party members are in fact massive fans.

Nigel Farage said demonstrators in balaclavas were ‘horrible’, but others in the party defend them as ‘brave, passionate patriots’

This sort of thing has been an issue for a long time. Reform as a party have tried to distance themselves from the right-wing-nut criminally convicted chief grifter Tommy Robinson, but not all of their members agree with that decision.

This will always be a problem when you explicitly built your party/company to be attractive to people with the very worst of viewpoints.
