We are calling on all Worthing Borough councillors to publicly demand the resignation of Tim Wills as Conservative councillor for Marine Ward, following revelations that he is an active member of fascist organisation Patriotic Alternative. Worthing residents are proud of our diverse community and stand in solidarity with all ethnic minority groups that will have been distressed and fearful as a result of Tim Wills' unacceptable and hateful words.

On Wednesday 8th October 2021, Wills was revealed by Hope Not Hate to be an active member of Patriotic Alternative, a racial nationalist and fascist organisation that seeks the removal of ethnic minorities from the UK. On the instant messaging service Telegram, Wills wrote:

“No more listening to the lies they spread, it’s the day of reckoning for the blood we share!”

“My view is Covid is a loss maker for us, we just need to centre on white genocide […] because many of our white race are convinced about vaccines, but not about our replacement, and need to be informed about this?”

Of his position as a Conservative Councillor, he wrote:

“Trying to infiltrate and influence those in power is our initial best way forward as we have no chance of political power any time soon, sadly. My view is Tories are best of a rotten lot as still have a right wing minority who are on side.”

Wills also urged fellow members to “Remember the 14 words”, a reference to the 14-word white supremacist slogan “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”, a call to arms formulated by white supremacist terrorist David Lane, who was sentenced to 190 years in prison for his role in the murder of a Jewish journalist.

If our elected councillors truly claim to represent us all, they must stand alongside us, demand councillor Wills' resignation, and make it clear that his racist views have absolutely no place in our town.
