在英国埃塞克斯郡韦瑟斯菲尔德举行的一次教区委员会会议上，78岁的志愿者梅尔·戈德利（Mair Godley）指责英国改革党（Reform UK）议员卡尔·约翰逊（Carl Johnson）因她协助庇护寻求者学习英语而对其进行侮辱。事件发生于10月14日，约翰逊在会议期间声称教导庇护寻求者英语等同于“协助入侵”，并将戈德利比作二战期间的纳粹合作者1。此外，约翰逊还发表了关于不希望其女儿遭到庇护寻求者强奸和谋杀的言论1。
该争议发生的背景是韦瑟斯菲尔德的一处前军事基地目前被用作内政部的庇护寻求者安置中心，收容了数百名申请人1。鉴于约翰逊的言论严重扰乱会议秩序，主持人要求他离开会场以恢复现场秩序1。对此，戈德利的丈夫尼克·戈德利（Nick Godley）已正式向埃塞克斯郡议会提出投诉1。
截至报道时，埃塞克斯郡议会发言人表示，在完成调查并认定是否存在违规行为之前，不予发表评论1。英国改革党及涉事议员卡尔·约翰逊本人均未回应媒体的置评请求1。
Mair Godley, a 78-year-old volunteer, stated that Carl Johnson, a Reform UK politician, likened her to a Nazi collaborator during a parish council meeting on October 14 1. Johnson accused Godley of "assisting an invasion" by teaching English to asylum seekers and expressed fear that his daughter could be raped and murdered by them 1. The incident occurred in Wethersfield, Essex, where a former military base currently houses hundreds of asylum seekers under Home Office arrangements 1.
The meeting chair requested that Johnson leave the session to restore order following his remarks 1. Nick Godley has since filed a formal complaint with the Essex County Council regarding the incident 1. A spokesperson for the county council stated they would not comment until the investigation is complete and any violations are determined 1. Neither Reform UK nor Johnson responded to requests for comment 1.
