It's not really that simple. There are cases where it's implicitly inevitable.

Here's something that happened in a school I was working at; I didn't directly work with either child, so it had nothing to do with me. So thankfully I didn't need to be involved too much.

But there were two lads who were ... not exactly "going out", but both liked each other. They were planning a sleepover, and in the circumstances it was a safeguarding issue, due to age of consent.

If they were a boy and a girl, the school would immediately tell both sets of parents, almost automatically. But of only one was out to his family, which murkied the waters a bit.

Its not an embarrassing angle at all, you will never have the responsibility and all that that entails the good and the bad until you are a parent, its very easy to parent someone elses child ....bit like back seat drivers

You'll get what you're given. Whoever wins are put in place and will work for the globalists and not for us.

The only election that matters this year is Trump vs the globalists.

Aw Kate you must be even more confused after this thread.

Stick all the names of the different Parties standing in your constituency, ( preferably leaving the Cons out though), in a cup or hat and pick one out.

Unless you've managed to securely satisfy yourself on Reform.
Good luck.

All of Smudgies posts were removed late last night. She went on a rant about multiculturalism and Tony Blair and George Soros - got very nasty very quickly.

At one point she claimed that many Eastenders scripts were written by an elite Jewish Cabal based in California and that Barry (off of Eastenders) had a tattoo on his buttocks that said "Zionism will win"

She did say she had been drinking cooking sherry from like 6 am (again?

reform are an even more extreme version of ukip. If people really want to veer toward Trump type politics in the UK then reform is their best choice.

Wave goodbye to any form of democracy

I more agree here.

UKIP, I quite liked some of their social policies.
However on Europe, the NHS and immigration.
I could never have looked at UKIP.

Reform however I think you describe them correctly.
An even more extreme version of UKIP.

I'm afraid I like more justice, fairness, compromise and compassion in my politics.
Which is why I am where I am politically.

I want this rotten government out, so until we've got PR in elections.
There's only one certain way to get them out.
I hope it happens.

But we could have our own January 6th moment.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help but be a bit of a morbid ****.

I've made some headway with my decision. I'm definitely going to vote (was going to abstain originally) but 100% NOT for Tory or Labour parties.

I've voted Labour all my life but Keir Starmers policies go against the grain for me and I don't want him in power.

So I'm still considering which way to go.

Anyway, I've decided to definitely vote Reform. I can't vote for Keir's policies, I don't agree with his stances on things.

Oh, my error. I didn't fully answer the question correctly. National Service is of course a Conservative policy and on those grounds I wouldn't vote them either. Labour is mainly their immigration policies, as MTVN asked.

Would you like immigration to be restricted more then?

I do appreciate that's a big issue but it's a difficult one, it'll be interesting what Labour actually pledge to do in their manifesto about it

reform and labour are almost polar opposites in terms of political views. My advice would be to not vote rather than vote for a party because you have negative thoughts on others. If you really want to vote, then go listen to the candidates in your area and see which one makes the most sense individually, and vote for them. Then, at least, you are voting for positive reasons
