In a disturbing new clip, a Reform Party activist has said that the growth of the UK’s Jewish population could potentially “replace British culture”:
This is Reform UK activist Jack Anderton. He advises Nigel Farage and even ran his TikTok account.
He would be ‘worried if the number of Jews in the UK grew’.
He also previously said Britain would be better off had it stayed neutral in the second world war instead of fighting… pic.twitter.com/EwGb1ElYS1

As we’ll get into, this interaction has exposed multiple double-standards in how the British media and political establishment treats racism.
Reform and racism
In the clip above, Farage adviser Anderton begins by complaining that the Muslim population of Britain is growing. He explained why he’s currently worried about Muslims but not Jews by noting:
there are a quarter of a million Jews in this country. There are more than four million Muslims, and that’s only growing. So I think they’re not quite equal comparisons.
Worrying there are ‘too many Muslims‘ is the sort of thing British politicians and journalists can usually engage in without criticism. In fact, many have made a career out of it. In this instance, however, Anderton did receive pushback, with another guest asking:
that is true, but that’s a quantitative, not a qualitative difference, right? How many Jews would there have to be here before you felt uncomfortable? Half a million? So it could be a limitless number of Jews, but a limited number of Muslims?
The other guest was right to suspect he’d expose an hypocrisy, but it turned out Anderton is an equal opportunity racist. When pressed if he’d “be worried if the Jewish population was growing”, Anderton said “yes”, before adding:
If it was replacing British culture, absolutely.
In other words, Muslims, Jews, and other minorities should be considered second class citizens with no right to shape broader culture.
This is obviously just racism.
And if you’re wondering why Farage would take advice from a guy like this, that’s not a hard question to answer:
“UK’s Farage says US Jews have disproportionate influence over politics”

Also, it shouldn’t be surprising that an Islamophobe could also be an antisemite.
The British media has done it’s best to convince us that one prejudice is acceptable while the other intolerable, but we refuse to accept this hierarchy of racism.
Establishment games
The full post from Reform Party UK Exposed at the top reads:
This is Reform UK activist Jack Anderton. He advises Nigel Farage and even ran his TikTok account.
He would be ‘worried if the number of Jews in the UK grew’.
He also previously said Britain would be better off had it stayed neutral in the second world war instead of fighting Nazi Germany.
He also thinks the UK could “regain” former colonies such as Australia, Canada and South Africa.
He also once said UK should copy the human rights abusing policy of mass incarceration carried out by El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele.
For the most part, you wouldn’t expect UK politicians and journalists to care about the above. The exception is worrying what will happen if the Jewish population grows. The reason you’d expect the establishment to stand up and pay attention to this is because it has suddenly become very worried about antisemitism again:
The vast majority of ‘antisemitic’ comments are comments about Israel.
This is exactly the same playbook as the ‘Labour antisemitism crisis’ bollox used by our media and the Starmer/McSweeney/Mandelson faction to take down Corbyn and the left.#ItWasAScam https://t.co/xlGKWZYpSx— simon maginn (@simonmaginn) May 6, 2026
The problem is that the accusations of antisemitism are only being directed at the Green Party. They’re also being directed in the most cynical fashion possible, and by people with a track record of concocting antisemitism claims to smear left-wing activists (left-wing activists who were Jewish themselves in some instances):
Steve Reed, who is not Jewish, here implying that Zack Polanski, who is Jewish, is racist against Jewish people because he criticises the influence Zionists very obviously and unarguably hold over the UK government.

As we’ve reported, the establishment is bending over backwards to smear the Greens while ignoring blatant antisemitism from Reform:
Where is the media on Reforms antisemitism problem? pic.twitter.com/qftBmxWVpH

This was from just three days ago:
Mainstream media have spent days calling @ZackPolanski an antisemite; why are they silent on Reform’s failure to suspend an actual antisemite?

The media is also being blatantly antisemitic itself in how it keeps choosing to depict Zack Polanski:
All of these newspapers throw accusations of antisemitism at others on a weekly basis, despite pumping out stuff like this themselves.
Solidary with @ZackPolanski. It’s obviously why the media barons and their errands boys are out to get him

Double standards
There are two gross double standards at play here.
The first is that the British establishment is more than happy to accomodate Islamophobia, but it draws the line at antisemitism (although said ‘antisemitism’ is often just opposition to Israel’s genocide).
The second double standard is that the establishment is actually willing to accomodate antisemitism too when it comes from those who support Israel.
There are obvious reasons why the British establishment has sought to defend Israel at the expense of its own citizens:
- The UK profits from Israel’s actions through arms deals and partnerships.
- Israel is a key ally of America, and the UK is America’s foremost lapdog.
- The Israel lobby has proven to be very effective at influencing British politicians – particularly through the ‘Labour Friends of Israel‘ and ‘Conservative Friends of Israel‘ groups.
- Once enough people within the establishment hold an opinion, mirroring that opinion becomes the price of entry.
If a Green Party activist had said they were worried about what would happen if the Jewish population grows, it would be on the front of every newspaper. The fact that this story isn’t tells you a lot about how this all works.
