#Reform candidate linked with offensive social media posts
#Reform’s candidate for #Orkney and #Shetland allegedly suggested former first minister Nicola Sturgeon should be shot and used a homophobic slur to describe people who took Covid vaccines, it has been reported.
Robert Smith is also accused, _in a reference to the Royal family, of saying he would “prefer Fred and Rose [West] to any of these cs”_*.
The former #Brexit Party candidate likened the rainbow symbol used in support of the NHS during the pandemic to “the new swastika”.
Mr Smith’s social media posts were revealed last night by The Daily Mail and The Times.
Several posts can still be seen on his Twitter profile, @Robertbigbags, where he describes himself, among other things, as a fisherman, award-winning scallop supplier and “git”.
