Reform are not going to save anyone and I guarantee you most will be worse under their rule. It's curious how the regions in the UK with the lowest educational attainment also have the highest support for Reform.
No politics, mate.

The poster you quoted though must be living on another planet. We have just had 28 years of a a revolving door of neo Liberalism by the same two parties pushing the same policies. Literally anything is better than the same circus carry on.No politics, mate.
"from the river to the sea" is NOT a call to military action to defeat Israeli armed forces. It is a genocide of an entire people based on their religion.Death to Jews is horribly anti-Semitic hate speech. Death to IDF? I cannot say I agree with you.
The IDF however are bombing and shooting civilians on a daily basis. Last I checked the death toll was 60,000 - and it's rising.
Just another day in the office for the IDF

Israeli strike on Gaza seafront cafe kills at least 20 Palestinians, witnesses and rescuers say
The outdoor cafe was frequently used by journalists, activists and local residents.www.bbc.co.uk
Personally, I'm 100% for this. Time for the UK to learn why not one single Arab country accepts Palestinian refugees. In fact when the Israel-Hamas war broke out, Egypt actually responded by building an even bigger wall between the Gaza Strip and Egypt because they didn't want any Palestinian to reach their country period
That's because they haven't been indoctrinated at some nation hating, marxist shitpit uni. They live in the real world and can see what globalism is doing to their society and community.Reform are not going to save anyone and I guarantee you most will be worse under their rule.

Education attainment is no indication of intelligence, especially these days..
If you believe Reform is going transform the UK into a utopia just like the lie you were sold by the conservatives regarding Brexit then you are genuinely deluded. Their economic policies are also straight out of Liz Truss playbook and we all know how well that went. If you want the UK to be crippled with further austerity then by all means please vote Reform.That's because they haven't been indoctrinated at some nation hating, marxist shitpit uni.

Such a clown take. We've seen it used in America, to disparage them from voting for opposition.
So, who are you suggesting then?If you believe Reform is going transform the UK into a utopia just like the lie you were sold by the conservatives regarding Brexit then you are genuinely deluded.

The only clown take is yours. Do we now believe education is some "Marxist" conspiracy?
I'm not going to pretend to lie that I've done in depth research for every political party in the UK. Most Reform voters do not even know what they're voting for, except with the promise that immigration will stop. I do agree with some of their policies. Freezing non essential immigration is good. Banning transgender ideology in schools is good. The benefits system is abused in the UK. So many lazy cunts get signed off far too easily. Unemployment rates are rising in the UK and needs to be addressed. The rest seems like a fantasy that will never materialise. Leaving the ECHR is utter stupidity. Scrapping net zero is going backwards. Tax cuts now means everyone will pay later. No idea where they'll get money for a significant NHS injection. Perhaps out of thin air? Although reducing corporation tax and IR35 would greatly benefit me so perhaps I should vote Reform! I haven't voted for anyone for almost a decade.So, who are you suggesting then?![]()
That may not happen, crafty Nigel seems to be a bit wishy washy here..except with the promise that immigration will stop.
These are just basics at this pointI do agree with some of their policies. Freezing non essential immigration is good. Banning transgender ideology in schools is good.
Not really, its being used as a massive back door to all kinds of nefarious nonsense. It's well documented.Leaving the ECHR is utter stupidity.
Not really. It's doing quite a lot of damage overall. We're paying through the nose for energy costs.Scrapping net zero is going backwards.
I see you've trotted out the usual 'The NHS is underfunded' line. Which is a pure nonsense itself. It's vastly over funded, it just needs massive, massive reforms. I've worked for it, I can tell you, it doesn't work. The waste in the NHS is biblical.Tax cuts now means everyone will pay later. No idea where they'll get money for a significant NHS injection. Perhaps out of thin air?
Both Labour and Conservatives are awful I agree. I don't know much about the other parties. I'll vote for the party which gives me the best bank balance at the end of each financial year.That may not happen, crafty Nigel seems to be a bit wishy washy here..

To simply say voting Reform is a daft thing is nonsensical at this point. You've two other parties that might as well have been one, for years. At this current point, there's no real alternative, you've just said yourself that you've done no research into any political party, yet lambast Reform voters? That doesn't make a lot of sense..
What I will say is that there are 'certain things' happening. There could (could) be another party on the horizon..
At this point though, voting Labour is insanity, and voting Tory, is insanity..
So what does that leave![]()
It is in the majority of unis these days.They've all got D.I.E departments and diversity officers.Do we now believe education is some "Marxist" conspiracy?

Funnier still, that people think that Reform would be different to or better than Neolibs.The poster you quoted though must be living on another planet.

Back door to all sorts of nefarious what? Spiting the UK's closest trading partner is not going to benefit anyone. Quality and cost of imported foodstuffs and goods has gotten materially worse post-Brexit because of the additional red-tape in dealing with continental Europe. Wow, great job. Really worth the sacrifice to prevent the ever nebulous "nefarious backdoor".Not really, its being used as a massive back door to all kinds of nefarious nonsense. It's well documented.
Nope. Energy costs are high because all of British energy is privatised and because Ofgem is a clown organisation.Not really. It's doing quite a lot of damage overall. We're paying through the nose for energy costs.
Explain why leaving the echr is bad? The UK isn't Russia. We don't need a garbage piece of legislation to protect our rights or human rights. When we are perfectly capable of producing a bill that does that with common sense.I'm not going to pretend to lie that I've done in depth research for every political party in the UK.

The UK used to make things, perhaps we should look into that..Back door to all sorts of nefarious what? Spiting the UK's closest trading partner is not going to benefit anyone.

No problem bringing energy production back in house, until you've got those reactors up and running, use what we have..Nope. Energy costs are high because all of British energy is privatised and because Ofgem is a clown organisation.
By the way, Nuclear power is beneficial in the move towards net-zero so, I'm not sure what the complaint is about the idea of reducing reliance on oil and gas. Particularly when a lot of global oil and gas supply comes from geopolitical rivals
We could have done that before Brexit too, so this is a moot argument… actually even more effectively thanks to greater cooperation with the other neighbours.And fuck me, if you're really taking the point of view of saving a few pound for some food product over keeping rapists, drug dealers and all sorts of detritus in the country then I honestly don't know what to say..
It becomes harder to make and sell things, if you completely cut economic ties with the geographically closest trading partners. I.e Europe. More red tape, higher prices in the continent due to tariffs and duties, which makes British production uncompetitive in Europe. Again. They are the physically CLOSEST trading partners. Reduced trade barriers benefits the UK, just as much as it benefits Europe. The UK is measurably worse off from Brexit.The UK used to make things, perhaps we should look into that..
A few quid makes a big difference to the poorer, rural communities across the UK. I'm sure high-earners in big Cities like London don't care about these things though.And fuck me, if you're really taking the point of view of saving a few pound for some food product over keeping rapists, drug dealers and all sorts of detritus in the country then I honestly don't know what to say..

Why is that? I can't see any benifit to the UK by remaining a member.Leaving the ECHR is utter stupidity.
The mid day news was standing on French beaches interviewing and filming the men getting onto boats while no authorities cared to stop them. Europe is sending their scum into this country and we aren't returning them with bullets to the shore to stop more from coming.
The dumb thing is, if they put certain things in place back then, we'd have seen the benefits by now, I said back then that as soon as Brexit happened then the Gov should've made Nurse and Doctors courses at University FREE for British citizens for a few years to at least entice some home grown blood to get into the industry. Instead we went hard on screwing over nurses, charging for parking whilst they're at work, etc, and then having staff issues once a load bounced after Brexit because we had a lot of foreign workers.The UK is measurably worse off from Brexit.
This makes sense.

I'm not against telling the truth about slavery but that will have to mean other groups take responsibility for their history, not just white British people. At the moment, we're the only one that applies to. If you try to decolonise the National Trust you get a few boomers moaning about it in the Daily Mail. What do you think would happen if every school started teaching that Muhammad was a slave owning pedophile?And so is taught. Nothing wrong with being proud of that.
Because its British history and that is reason enough. Just because the British weren't unique in their colonialism, doesn't mean we should just gloss over it. British people should know British history; good and bad. No ifs, ands or buts.
If it upsets people that their nation was capable of depravity such that they no longer feel pride for the good thing, then that's their right. But that is the basis with which a nation and humanity at large can progress.
Learn about world history and the foibles of other nations too, by all means. Lord only knows how much WW1 and 2 and the crimes of the Germans are taught in British schools. But also, learn from Britain's own mistakes so as not to repeat them. We are now on the precipice of an age where there are no living survivors of WW2. With the attitude of "Well everyone did bad things, so lets focus on the positives", it won't be long until the sacrifices of that generation passed, will be forgotten or mythologised.
Oh I'm sure. But equally, there were extraordinarily high rates of tax. And those high rates of tax helped to pay for public services.
Failing that, what's the solution. Just give up?
You are right about one thing. The thing that build modern economies is energy and burning fossil fuels. Hopefully we can move beyond fossil fuel for energy in the not-too-distant future. For our own sake.
I mean a large part of it was the energy crisis caused by OPEC. When energy costs are high, inflation is rampant. Such is the environment that Mad Maggie came in. Her selling the house and the kitchen sink with it to private corporations helped nothing. Except to make ordinary people beholden to private, for-profit corporations, incentivised to cut costs and raise prices to pay shareholders, for their fundamental utilities and public infrastructure. Its been a demonstrable failure.
Maybe things wouldn't be perfect now, but at least energy and utilities costs would be lower and the trains might actually work.
I agree that the left has alienated the working class.
It doesn't help that the media, largely controlled by the few mega-wealthy have poured billions into making sure they are never inconvenienced by high taxes ever again, and for working class people to keep blaming other working class people of a different skin color or religion. Make no mistake, this would be possible even in a more homogenous society within Britain, because of classism. Social stratification is something of a British specialty. And honestly, Britain has never really been a homogenous nation. Its been ruled and invaded by kings all over Western Europe, and has significant cultural diversity in and of itself.

Only in the UK would this happen. In the eyes of Muslims, Muslims never do wrong and are always the victims. If you go to any of these towns and ask a about it, they will say it was a conspiracy. When the story first broke 10 years ago they did the same.
All enabled by looney left lunatics. Who no doubt will be silent on these scum protesting. Probably Jeremy Corbyn will be there.
Corbyn is scumI genuinely despise Corbyn. Him and Owen Jones.
Nope, the backlash has been building for years. These commies and their Trojan horse will be sorted out, one way or another.The UK is beyond repair....

When stuff like this gets posted to take the piss, it's clear they have no fear of general public outrage/ vigilantism.
On a separate note, a small Muslim/Palestine demonstration was stopped in its tracks in Dublin yesterday from Irish counter protesters. They don't want the same stuff happening over here.
It's safe enough to assume it's been reported to authorities. Will they get done for it? If not, it really is some 1984 type reality everyone is living in.That is really sick....
It is true hate speech, on an incomprehensivel level.
The scum most likely won't even attend. They simply don't care.All enabled by looney left lunatics. Who no doubt will be silent on these scum protesting. Probably Jeremy Corbyn will be there.
