Today Kruger from #Reform on tonight's Political Slot accused the current Lab g'ment of the prosecution of ex-servicmen.

That is not true

The new legislation enacted in Jan actually allows people like Gerry Adams to stand trial for his alledged atrocities

This Thursday #KCC are going to debate #immigration saying the country is being "invaded"

I shan't be there myself, but I understand the meeting may get interrupted

I'll try and report what happens to this #racist #Reform council's nasty measure

Warwickshire County Council leader, #Reform's George Finch, is facing a vote of no confidence after too many 'mistakes'

The latest being a dispute with the police over their handling of a case involving the rape of a 12-year-old girl.

But prior to this week:

George had crushed morale throughout the council offices by suggesting he had to impose a 'boots on neck' approach to get things done 🙄
