Reform UK summer party planned for Lancaster Brewery is cancelled by venue
A summer party for Reform UK politicians booked for Lancaster Brewery has been cancelled by the venue.
The party – led by Nigel Farage – had made a booking which brewery boss Phil Simpson said had not been “identified as political” – something which goes aganist company policy.
The Stand Up To Racism Lancaster and Morecambe group posted on Facebook that it contacted the brewery, based at Lancaster Leisure Park in Wyresdale Road, on Thursday evening after hearing that Reform UK had planned to hold a summer party at the venue.
And today, Friday, they announced that it had been cancelled.
The group posted: “Result! We found out yesterday afternoon that Reform UK announced its summer bash with VIP guest (wonder who that could be?) at Lancaster Brewery.
“Two SUTR members who live next to the brewery emailed at 10.30pm last night. Someone messaged workers at the brewery who in turn messaged the bookings manager and by 9am this morning the booking was cancelled.
“Seems Reform UK, who say they are for honesty and accountability, did not say who they were when they booked. The bookings manager thanked everyone for the heads up.”
Weird how far-right mobs like this have to pretend they’re not who they are in order to get bookings in places like this, isn’t it (I mean, I’ve contacted a venue myself in the past to advise them they’d booked someone very dubious; I forget who exactly but I think it was some Muslim-hater gang a la the Q Society). If they had as much support from “real” people as they claim they do, you’d think they could just be open about who they are and what they’re doing. Wonder what Rod Stewart makes of this?
