Racist Candidates in London's Local Elections

0:00On April 16th, Green Party and Reform UK candidates in London's local elections are facing heat for dropping racist bombs on social media. Reforms Howard Dynie and Ikanham in South Hairfield posted Islamophobic rants, including calls for violence against Muslims. On the green side, Aziz Hakimi and Camden shared anti-Semitic conspiracies blaming Zionists for 9-11 and recent attacks while Mark Adderly in, according compared Israel to Nazis. Local parties say they're digging into these posts right now. The green stress that Hakimi's views don't match their values at all. Reform hasn't pulled support yet, but critics are piling on fast. Local leaders are fired up. Camden counsels labor boss called Hakimi's stuff up horn and demanded the Greens ditch him immediately. Hillington's conservative leader slam Dynie, saying any real party would suspend him and Yank endorsement before voters decide, even with all this noise, it's too late to scrub names from ballots since nominations closed.
