Reform Central is a platform where Reform UK members and supporters can read and comment on issues of interest. We do not regard ourselves as “far-right” or indeed “hard right.” In that spirit we abhor racist, misogynistic, homophobic views as well as class predjudice and attempts to impose identity politics on our nation.
We believe that the cultural norms and values developed in the UK have stood this nation in good stead and are worth preserving. We wish to play our part in that. As Reformers we are not xenophobic, but on the contrary recognise that the UK has an important part to play in the world. Not least in the wider Anglosphere with whom we share so many cultural links. This will be reflected in our coverage of news and issues. Indeed, we note the common challenges other Anglosphere states face in terms of illegal immigration and “woke” DIE activism.
Although we are independent of the Reform Party, we intend to give the leadership our full support. Reform UK can break the uniparty (two-party system) but only by remaining disciplined and united.
We welcome articles on a wide range of political, social and economic subjects outside of just Reform UK news. Please send articles to editor@reformcentral.com
