Grifter Farage launches Reform ‘FC’ – and people are wondering what ‘FC’ stands for

Reform UK has released its own football shirt in an attempt by dirty Farage to get working-class football fans on its side.

Seeing as there is no team attached to this shirt, my first question was, ‘What does the FC stand for?’

Luckily, X users had their own, pretty hilarious guesses.

The website states:

it reflects our commitment to independence, strength and unity.

But I’m not sure how strong they’ll really be – because obviously, they won’t be playing anyone on the left wing.

On reflection, there won’t be anyone in the centre either. So it will be eleven right-wingers, running after a flat ball on a slanted pitch.

Keep politics out of football

Taking the knee for Black Lives Matter was too much for Mr Farage. So much so, that he wanted ‘politics keeping out of football’.

I guess he needs a little help figuring out what he wants. Someone get the man a therapist.

Publicity stunt

Liz Ward pointed out that this latest publicity stunt is from the same playbook as the ‘Reform Pub’—an attempt by the far-right to stir up hatred among working-class communities.

But remember, Farage, Tice, and the like are privately educated, rich boys. They are the elite and have never struggled a day in their lives. They have no clue about the realities of football culture. This is all for show.

At least now we can identify idiots before they open their mouths.

Remember when Farage kicked off because Team GB changed the colour of the Union Jack for their kit? He said he was ‘dead against‘ brands redesigning the Union Jack.

But now, he has changed the colour of the Union Jack.

Farage and Reform: grifters, the lot of ’em

The right wing has plenty of time to get their Christmas lists in.

Really, this is just another way for Farage to make a bit of extra cash, as if his nine jobs weren’t enough.

Meanwhile, back in the real world us at the Canary could teach Farage a thing or two about supporting grassroots sport. Because we do actually sponsor a working-class football team:

Keep politics out of football, unless it’s my politics. Don’t change the Union Jack, unless it’s on my shirt. Farage’s previous attempts at ‘keeping Britain British’ are nothing more than a pathetic attempt at clickbaity headlines. Because as soon as it suits, or he stands to make a load of cash, he changes his mind and thinks we won’t remember.
