kanny 20,975 Posted Monday at 13:31 Report Share Posted Monday at 13:31 Quite correct, a week in politics is long time nevermind 4 years, but as I've already stated I had reform on thin ice months ago so no knee jerk here...Farage seems more concerned with gloating and basking in his own sunshine than actually getting stuff done, after the trumps win and recent events the stage is set for someone to start flipping the tables over in Westminster yet Farage seems to be heading for capitulation to the Westminster line ,the fag and a pint routine isn't going to cut it for me,they either start acting like an insurgent party or they lose all their support, looking around various forums and places I can tell you that the exodus has already begun. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Borr 6,571 Posted Monday at 19:35 Report Share Posted Monday at 19:35 Well I hope the vocal social media lot are a lot more fickle than the silent majority and while there is no viable alternative that supports my concerns I'll still vote reform.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand Being in opposition is dead easy, and, as you say, Farage seems to enjoy the limelight and smugly pointing out the failings of Labour and the tories. But making money and being a right wing rabble rouser and talking head is about his limit. I don't see him as a remotely credible Prime Minister in any universe. Mind you, the same is true of Johnston, Starmer and many others imo. He's shady, with shady connections. Not the messiah. Let's not forget he milked 2 million in expenses of our money from the European Parliament and bragged about it. Not to be trusted one iota. He's part of this right wing group including Tump who are weirdly connected to Putin. I've read Reform's manifesto. Apart from a vague promise to fix immigration, the NHS and social care ( all the parties do that) there's nothing in it for us.

Did he get more than “commissioners” like Mandelson, Patten, the Kinnocks and their sons wife ? In my mind, he did the job I wanted him to do in the EU and eventually got us out, unlike others who would have liked to stay in and keep “milking” it until they died. Hate him….

Expand If there is significant damage to Reform the acid test will come soon in the by election due to that Labour MP who battered that chap in the street has resigned.

TRUEBRIT66 1,766 Posted Tuesday at 12:53 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:53 I'm a Tommy Robinson "fan" and loved it when he karate kicked the Muslims who set fire to the poppy, it was great to see aggression and dis-respect shown to our country given a similar response back for once. But Tommy Robinson is no politician and never will be and should stick to what he does best, highlighting issues within Islam that are not compatible with our country and the Christian religion. Reform for me have imploded now, I had doubts when Tice said "nothing to do with that lot" but there are so many people associated with Reform that have come out now and said how Farage is a nasty narcissist. The UK is crying out for a proper party to lead us but we have a country of voters that really are politically naïve and led by the MSM. Until a issue literally comes up and smacks them in the face they are happy to just lap up what the BBC/Sky tell them and continue voting for the same crap rather than what is actually good for the country going forward. The last few days have seen the last glimmer of hope for this country snuffed out IMO. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
