Recorded incident
Category: hate speech
Location: Blackburn
Andrew Mahon, a Reform candidate standing in Blackburn in the local elections, posted on Facebook in December 2024: “Oswald was right 100%… we need an educational correction in the U.K. Powell and Moseley were correct, multiculturism [sic] has failed, it has been an unmitigated disaster.” He has also posted in support of Enoch Powell. He was photographed shaking hands with Reform leader Nigel Farage. Hope Not Hate uncovered the December 2024 post and criticised it as shocking given Oswald Mosley’s fascist history; the reporting notes that Mosley’s British Union of Fascists was antisemitic and that Adolf Hitler was a guest of honour at Mosley’s second wedding. In reply to a user under the Facebook post Mahon wrote: “I think that there has to be a recognition that integration in the U.K. has not happened in the way successive Politicians of all persuasions believed it would. Something is going and has gone very wrong in the U.K. in terms of integration. This is “NOT” a racist argument, it is however sadly a fact, by not facing up to the failure of integration in the U.K. Politicians have and still are adding to the problems.”
Mahon praised British Union of Fascists founder Oswald Mosley
Category: offensive
Andrew Mahon, a Reform UK candidate in Blackburn, publicly praised Oswald Mosley, the founder and leader of the British Union of Fascists from 1932 to 1940. On Facebook, Mr Mahon wrote that Mosley "was right", adding that "we need an educational correction" and that "multiculturalism has failed". The endorsement of a British fascist leader, surfaced in HOPE not hate's April 2026 investigation into Reform's candidate slate, did not lead to his removal ahead of the 7 May 2026 elections. The report placed the posts alongside a wider Blackburn cluster of Reform candidates whose social media contained sympathetic references to figures on the far right.
