@tristancorkpost.bsky.social has written at length about Arron Banks racism. The things he is calling for (mass deportations, cultural genocide) are literally classed as crimes against humanity under the Geneva Convention. I'd ask if you'd allow a nazi candidate to speak, but you've already answered
Arron Banks calls for Muslim immigration ban and 'levelling' of mosques

After three years of a car-free Capel Street, central area councillors have expressed a broad consensus that it has been a massive success with only some limited issues. A written report presented to councillors outlines that work on Phase 2 of the interim measures on Capel Street commenced in September 2024 and is due to be completed in Q2 2025. The council said that these works include additional build-outs, resin-bound surfacing, seating and planting in the ground as well as in planters.
