Bluesky users criticize both McIvor and LBC's decision to platform him
2 Sep 24 10:05 AM · 3d ago · 123 comments · 1 source · development 2 of 2
Comments flood in attacking McIvor's statement as nonsensical and criticizing LBC for giving airtime to what multiple commenters characterize as absurd or bigoted rhetoric. The core complaint centers on editorial judgment rather than substantive disagreement.
“I'm sorry but these people shouldn't be asked on to give their views. I think we are perfectly able to hear from a range of opinions without sinking to this level.”

I’m sorry but these people shouldn’t be asked on to give their views. I think we are perfectly able to hear from a range of opinions without sinking to this level. Just absurd nonsense. Helps no one. Either makes people angry or less informed
-
Do not give these idiotic wankers airtime. Anyone with half a brain may well mock them and find it amusing. The rest of the knobheads think he's making a great point. This is why we are at this stage as a country.
-
Councillors from other parties never get as much airtime as this lot do.
-
Why has LBC given air time to a racist bigot this utter diatribe could have easily been said in 1930 s Germany at Nuremberg during a rally. Just change the words to German people are claiming asylum in Bavaria. QED.
-
To quote Ellie from the Last of us, these people are fucking nuts.
-
People also move out from the centre of London due to the costs. Not because they're "claiming asylum". Tsk.
-
Stop platforming these fucking dickheads. They've got 8 fucking MPs. 8...
-
Isn’t this the guy that send unsolicited dick pics to his female colleagues? It ain’t immigrants our women need protecting from!
-
Bravo to the local Labour councillor who emailed the little twerp telling him to “fuck off you tedious little shit”.
-
If people travelling from France in dingy can't claim asylum because there's "no war in France" then people moving to the Hone Countries can't claim asylum for exactly the same reason, just turn their own logic in on them.

Fleeing England to live in England 🤷♂️

Why Reform again, LBC? Reform UK already have their own radio station.
-
He's trying so hard to make his non-point that it's painful
-
As well as being a fascist lieing ignorant thick prick . He must be the most stupidest person in Britain. You can't claim asylum in your own country.
-
Probably stop asking whiny, idiotic, racist snowflakes on to national media shows. They are an embarrassment to the country.

Ex-Tory candidate accused of sending unsolicited image of his ‘private parts’ This article is more than 1 year old Jaymey McIvor, Reform UK’s first Essex councillor, was suspended from Conservatives last year amid claims
-
These people are complete imbeciles aren't they? They are now saying people moving from one place to another in the UK are claiming asylum!! It is pathetic and they need to grow up. But luckily the British people are catching onto their BS because Reform are not 3rd in most polls!!
-
racists have been moving out of east London for years - Clacton is full of them. Suits me, I don't want to live among racists.
-
You really should stop giving these idiots airtime.
-
Did anyone ask him about whether people are uncomfortable around, say, a pervert who was kicked out of another party for sending someone an unsolicited picture of their dick?
-
I'm torn here, I'm thinking people like that shouldn't be given air time, on the other hand I'm thinking he's that ridiculous it will make people aware of how bad Reform are.
-
unfortunately we're a country that celebrates stupidity & being "a bit thick..." He'll be hailed as a hero 🙄
-
23% of British people want to vote for these corrupt, racist dumb fucks? What is wrong with this country?
-
Because of if immigrants in Wessex, I was forced to move to Mercia.
