The don’t care. Nigel Farage can dodge tax while telling others they shouldn’t. He can pretend he cares about women’s safety while voting against measures to protect them. He wants to scrap working from home while only having a 20% attendance record for Parliament votes. The ma is one of the biggest liars and hypocrites but thy don’t care because he wants to eject brown people from the country so nothing else matters and nothing else will be criticised.

I'm halfway through (out of 3hrs..) listening to the Congressional committee that Farage met in front of within the Capital and so far it's been comedy:



Someone actually used the phrase "memory hole". Several times, too.

I still remember when politicians were made mostly using cardboard.

It's hard to say if it was worth the entire listen. There were bits where good points were made. EU rules do matter for us longterm if they start to force our own hand re:speech and I do have a problem with that.

Still I'm reminded why we have the political landscape that we do. The bar is set very low when it comes to intelligent life regarding our politician. It would take little effort for anyone to stand out in that crowd...

The average age of a Reform member is 61. It's a party on borrowed time.

AI Overview
The median age for a Reform UK voter in the 2024 general election was 56, not 61,
according to a YouGov analysis. This indicates that while Reform UK does attract older
voters, a figure of 61 is not supported by this specific data.

I did say member, not voter.

Their average age is 61 – not surprising when hardly any of them are aged 18 to 24 – very nearly half of them are over 65 and a third of them are aged between 50 and 64. - PoliticsHome

If we're talking about VOTERS, this is how it looks: https://www.statista.com/statistics/...-polls-by-age/

That's probably the median age range for a Cable News watcher... and yet we still regularly refer to that aging media with outweighed legitimacy, imo...

Reform will scrap the Indefinite Leave to Remain scheme, retrospectively

So hundreds of thousands of migrants will have to reapply & will not be able to
claim any benefits or social housing

If you come to Britain to work, then work, don’t rip us off

Lucy Connolly tells Reform UK conference she would ‘love’ to work with party

The party’s deputy leader, Richard Tice, welcomed her comments in his speech
immediately after her live interview for a podcast.

She has been convicted of racial hatred and so in no way should work for a political party.

She received a very warm welcome by one and all

Mrs Connolly said: “I’d really love to use my experience to work with,
hopefully, Reform in the future and overhaul the prison system, especially the
women’s estate.

“It doesn’t work, it’s a waste of all of our money, and it just needs… We could
let 80 per cent of the women population out of prison and none of us would
be in any danger.

“They need housing, they need mental health, they need rehab, and they just
need people to care. That’s it.”

Asked how she voted at the last general election, she replied: “Reform.

If they were hanging rainbow flags I imagine the discussion here would be quite different.

I agree, many people would be suggesting it's completely wrong and they should be taken down as it's council property

FWIW, I think no member of the public should be hanging any flags from lamp posts. In their own private property - absolutely fine, if a business wants to hang a flag from their frontage or in their window, absolutely fine. I think when it comes to flags on the street and from lamp posts, it should be decided by and hung by the council.

Yes,
it is distracting to put them on Lamp posts
which is why most councils take them down.


Its Trades Fella doing it

When are the Palestine flags being ripped down, anyone know? I'd turn up to watch that.

Personally, I hope they continue to remove the UJs and St George's flag. Every time they do it's another vote for Reform, another signature on the 'call a general election' petition.

The whole point is likely that they're not easy to remove.
