Formal complaint to Returning Officer as Reform is accused of lying about Nation of Sanctuary

Despicable, deplorable and so typical of the far right. I blame the American Republican Party's pernicious influence here, every bit as much as our home-grown mean spirited racists. It's the S word. [Sanctuary] that riles them. Apparently it upsets them so much that their brains stop working and they can no longer tell the difference between refugees and economic migrants. No matter how disgusted you might be with the 'traditional' political parties... there is no way in hell these populist low-lifes should be 'given a chance'

Let's say 15% is on asylum seekers. 15% of £55mil is £8.3mil. The expenses were incurred over 6 years so annualised it averages just over £1.4mil per year. Shared between roughly 1.9mil working aged people in Wales gives around 72p a year per person or just over 6p per person per month. If Llyr needs help finding 6p in his monthly budget, I'd be more than happy to go through his expenses with him

This is a distraction to the major issues that plague Wales under Labour Govts not being discussed which suits Labour and blind Reform rhetoric. Major issues in the Caerphilly County with lost and future losses of services to many sectors of the community in Caerphilly can be reciprocated in other Welsh parts. Let Labour and Reform fight out their squabbles, the latest over a press picture of FM and their candidate. Plaid need to rise above this noise and get out the message of better opportunities for all of Wales people regardless of your background.

Ukrainians in Wales are genuine refugees from a European war, not economic migrants or asylum shoppers. Immigration is not an issue in Wales, and Plaid Cymru are not proposing to flood the country with boat people. Reform UK might have a little more credibility if they looked more closely at Wales' real problems. Go ahead and vote for them if you want a privatised healthcare system, funding for the Welsh language put on the back burner, and a Welsh Government with no intention of acting in Wales' interest.

Don't like foreigner's do they. Of any colour. Of any faith. But farage is happy to employ people who like russian money. The country that is trying to kill its way through Ukraine. Really, they must know this but still do it. Worse to come from this bunch.

During the miners strike of 1974 there was no helping hand from the hedge fund managers, the stock exchange traders or commodity dealers, those types that are now the leading lights of Reform. The Donbass miners of the Ukrainian sent food parcles to those that needed it in places like Caerphilly. There is a debt to be paid. They need our help now and we can't walk by on the otherside of the road and ignore them.

If this is what to expected from Reform UK before they enter the Senedd imagine what they'll do after? Wasn't suffering seven useless UKip/Brexit AMs a warning back in 2016? If they were competent why were Ukip & Brexit Party kicked out of the Senedd last election. They were paid thousands a year for doing absolute nothing? Also , remember that convicted Russian stooge Nathan Gill was leading the Senedd group at the time. Reform UK ,Ukip & Brexit Party are all one and the same. Do voters understand this? Reform are loose cannons. Those fruit loop racists and fascists you'd normally ridicule due to their outlandish ideology. The likes of bigot Llyr Powell think repeating falsehoods like his cult leader Nigel Farage did when he said migrants were eating swans & carp in rivers aping Donald Trump's migrants eating cats & dogs. What about another Farage lie when as Brexit Party leader claimed in a poster how thousands of Turks joing the EU would flood into Britain when the were poor Syrians fleeing murderous Assad & ISIS monsters. An absolute falsehood. Besides , Turkey wouldn't qualify for EU membership due to its human rights abuses. Fact! But I'm glad recently that the Welsh Labour Government. with all their failings , are doing something right by passing a Welsh law to recall Senedd members allowing constituents to remove rogue MSs. You can be guaranteed Reform will have many members sacked with their history. Just look at the amount councillors in England sacked. Watch this space. It's going to be an eye opener.

It sounds very much to me that some members of Reform (aka former Tories such as Laura Anne Jones) have changed their tune on this (and their accent) https://youtu.be/o13fjngBz8o?si=Slnlj4skgpsx4xyn

Whenever Trump opens his mouth all we get from him are lies, nonsense or a mixture of both. His pal Farage is continuously aping him and, obviously, so too is Reform's Caerffili by-election candidate. In my view, his lie about asylum seekers certainly warrants a vigorous legal challenge.

No wonder democracy is dying. Nonsense spoken as truth infecting our every day consumption of media, lies being acceptable in political discourse, and to what end? Nothing these charlatans are peddling will improve the lives of the people they con into voting for them.

The people of Caerphilly have always had a rep up the valleys of being the nicest and most decent people, what on earth has happened to that place? Utterly shameful that this guy has a single supporter.
