Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson, Robert Jenrick, made a controversial comment during an interview with Sky News about female protesters assaulted at the Reform conference in Birmingham on Friday. Jenrick reportedly said the protesters “deserved it” for interrupting Farage’s speech and suggested they should “get a life.” The statement came as the incident sparked widespread debate, with critics calling it inappropriate and insensitive. Jenrick’s remarks were met with criticism from both supporters and opponents of the Reform UK party. A triple assault that @WMPolice may want to look into from last night’s Reform conference in Birmingham. This young lady was viciously grabbed round the neck, whacked with a walking stick and thrown to the ground! So much for “protect our women and children” eh? Clearly, literal assault is OK if you disagree with their politics. Imagine if one of the protesters had hit back at the old man with the crutch? Jendrick wouldn’t be brushing that off – he’d be having a meltdown about ‘far left violence’. If I remember correctly, the girl who lobbed a milkshake at Farage a few years back got a suspended sentence, so at the very least we can probably expect this old git to get the same. It’s only fair, right? Speaking of the old git, he’s since been identified online. Reckon he’ll be getting a knock from West Midlands Police any moment now.
