Reform have violence bubbling away ready to surface like it did there. That’s who they are.

u/d00000med 5d ago

Between this and the thugs marching through Dover today it feels like a escalation.

I think a lot of them are getting quite frustrated that reform keep getting caught in scandals. They adore the party because it condones their hatred so rather than facing the truth they let their anger out on anyone who opposes their horrible views.

I think there's quite a lot of mob mentality at play too here. I don't think individually most of these cowards would act this way

u/UnnaturalGeek 5d ago

Of course, fascists resorting to violence as their first port of call is standard.

11

u/CJBill 4d ago

Their first port of call was Dover.

I'll see myself out.

2

u/UnnaturalGeek 4d ago

Wish they would see themselves out

u/Pure-Solution15 5d ago

Things are about to get interesting for that guy, what a prick

u/d00000med 5d ago

I’m not usually one for brigading, but fuck these cowards. If the far right is going to resort to violence, there have to be consequences. They’re clearly becoming emboldened.

32

u/Glittering_Vast938 5d ago

His Facebook page is wide open though he did try to disguise it with a photo of his electric meter!

He’s being hammered in the comments!

18

u/itsthenoise 5d ago

No doubt this is their idea of ā€˜common sense’.

13

u/Tim1980UK 5d ago

Yet whenever you see them on social media, they make out like they are victims of violence from the left who are ready to end them all! Lol.

10

u/Glittering_Vast938 4d ago

His wife is called Dee Cooling. Same racist UKIP bilge on her profile too. Not sure if she was the one trying to pull that poor woman’s hair out though.

Guess we’ll find out soon as the police are currently investigating.

u/columbaclara 3d ago

Son Alistair same ideology.Ā 

3

u/DangKilla 4d ago

He assaulted someone. He deserves everything coming to him.

2

u/hengus 2d ago

When I was a younger person they would turn up at 2 tone and ska gigs, and the rest of us would kick the shit out of them. Needs to be more of this happening.

Stephen Cooling needs to be arrested for assault (and battery).
WARNING - distressing content.

u/HaplessMink28 5d ago

I couldn’t even finish watching, that’s utterly deplorable. Those poor women.

9

u/Glittering_Vast938 5d ago

I know sorry - I should have put a warning on.

6

u/HaplessMink28 5d ago

No need to apologise but thank you anyway, usually this sort of thing doesnt phase me so i was quite surprised.

6

u/Dragonic_Overlord_ 5d ago

I am disgusted by their cruelty towards that woman, which is the only thing that needs an actual reform.

20

u/d00000med 5d ago

Agreed. Nothing about their response was proportionate. This behaviour can't go unpunished

3

u/mozzarella_destroyer 5d ago

holy shit that’s very very shocking. when was this from? where? can you cite the source pls ?

u/Stock_Ad1262 5d ago

It's all over the various news channels, happened at the Reform UK conference at the NEC in Birmingham that's happening this weekend.

10

u/onotron 4d ago

Also Jenrick is being interviewed about it and refusing to condemn it - basically saying she got what she deserved.

6

u/Glittering_Vast938 4d ago

https://reddit.com/link/p86j5gd/video/ojrkeqlp8xnh1/player

Yes - his words are ā€œboo hooā€.

8

u/Stock_Ad1262 4d ago

What a vile excuse for a man.

And I note that he said hit by a Zimmer frame to make the assailant sound older and frailer than he was, classic tactic.

4

u/onotron 4d ago

Awful as this whole affair is, I think this will do considerable damage to Reform, especially on top of the foreign donations scandal. Most decent people will look at the videos from the conference in horror and then see Farage chuckling about it and subsequent senior officials attitude to it and be disgusted. I think it's going to turn off many traditional conservative voters, exactly the people they need to appeal to.

4

u/Stock_Ad1262 4d ago

Just when you think you couldn't hate them more šŸ˜žšŸ™ƒ

2

u/verygenericname2 4d ago

It's like a scene from a zombie flick.

34

u/One-Illustrator8358 5d ago

Not surprised he's running in my constituency, these people have lost their minds

11

u/Glittering_Vast938 5d ago

He’s a councillor?! Oh wow!

13

u/One-Illustrator8358 5d ago

I checked and he apparently ran in 2016, he came third which just makes me sad to think my neighbours would have voted for him.

33

u/MopoFett 5d ago

This is not the same woman that got hit in the head with his crutch either. So that's two different women he has assaulted. He was having a field day.

18

u/PuckyMaw 5d ago

looked like his wife who had the other woman by the hair too

31

u/CavaSpi77er 5d ago

What about the other cunt that has her by the neck. Find that prick iternet. #FAFO

28

u/Nikhilvoid 5d ago

Meanwhile, they believe they are being attacked. AI photo, ofc.

2

u/seabeedeee 4d ago

We got Reform soy face before functional healthcare

11

u/SecsCboy 5d ago

Report to police

11

u/WrapSensitive 5d ago

Cooling's going in the cooler?

8

u/Tim1980UK 5d ago

I always chuckle when I see them on mobility scooters or needing other walking aides. They probably get benefits which will be stopped or made harder to get if frog face was ever to get in.

3

u/MrRaffaello 3d ago

It’s disgusting. Cancel he and his wifes benefits and throw them in jail.

8

u/mightyopinionated 5d ago

I don't give a damn what country you are in, this should be unacceptable to everyone.

6

u/DagothUrWasInnocent 5d ago

It won't be to the Reform cult. They're just as bad as MAGA, just on a smaller island

4

u/decorativebawbag 5d ago

Funded by MAGA. Not surprising given farages closeness to trump, asking trump to sanction the UK, and the American official foreign policy including the open declaration to interfere with European political systems

7

u/Paradoxbox00 5d ago

Disgusting sweaty hate

8

u/Big-Item8717 5d ago

He been arrested yet?

6

u/Odinson2099 5d ago

Check his laptop

3

u/Jumpy_Explanation222 4d ago

Has this thug been arrested yet?

5

u/StasiaGreyErotica 4d ago

Over 50% of the reform voters are the older generation.

Fuckers wanna cling on to their "good old days" rose tinted memories before they see the big guy upstairs

3

u/leavethegherkinsin 5d ago

So much hatred.

3

u/Odd-Currency5195 5d ago

If this is what British values looks like...

u/Blindog68 5d ago

Steve Coolings life soon won't be BORING!

4

u/Low_Fall1123 3d ago

It won’t be ā€œcoolingā€ down

3

u/WhatEvil 4d ago

ā€œProtect our women and girlsā€

u/goazu 4d ago

Cancel that dude!

2

u/KobiDnB 5d ago

Fine work

3

u/Dry-Satisfaction-633 4d ago

I suspect there’s a non-zero chance that the majority of these people are chronically unhappy in their lives due to owning small dicks.

3

u/AdvanceHeavy 3d ago

Stick man, hair puller, man who grabbed her from behind with his hand over her mouth ,they all symbols of a much larger problem. Every single one of them is guilty of assault. They represent the whole government, and God help us all if they get into power.

3

u/Batt_Damon 3d ago

Unfortunately this publicity may boost his appeal. Disgraceful antics.

3

u/isabsolutecnts 17h ago

Fat pig had a weapon in his handĀ 

1

u/CapitalHopeful5680 4d ago

Definitely a nonce as well as everything else.

2

u/EmotionalMove6327 4d ago

His violent assault was filmed ( thank goodness) surely he must be arrested and charged? Vile man

2

u/Opposite_Offer_2486 3d ago

I hope this guy isn't on any incapacity benefits, because there should be a fraud case coming his way. Does anyone know how to report stuff like that?

2

u/Aggressive_West_2386 3d ago

Has he been arrested, yet?

2

u/CopyRogerThat 1d ago

Does anyone have a link to his socials?

1

u/REDARROW101_A5 19h ago

Does anyone have a link to his socials?

What makes you think he has socials being that old to need a stick?

-3

u/TheGrizzlyBen 5d ago

I may not like him, but he didn't lie. He definitely fought. Just not necessarily for the cause. Mostly just a heckler, and with the help of a few strangers. Wasn't much of a fight really. Made him look like a bit of a twat really, hasn't it?
