I was going to say that I couldn’t see a Labour MP going over to Reform but then 30p Lee ended up there so who knows?

You don’t have to, there is plenty of hard evidence out there, much of it from his own mouth. Also go and look at the political organisations that he has been involved with. This isn’t fake news. It is factual. If you are going to vote for him you really need to properly look at what you are voting for. More for you to think about… https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farages-most-controversial-moments-ukip-brexit-b1122381.html

A clinician has been doing a regular update on his health on Insta given what he can see and gives him between 3 and 7 months. We can only hope.

Farage’s position seems to be that he wants big names (experience) on his front bench. Fair enough, but you could question his choices! What intrigues me is that he says he is going to unveil a Labour absconder next week. Who the hell will that be?

I don’t have a perfect world. There never has been and never will be as long as humans are involved. If you go back to the cradle of democracy, women, anyone from outside of Athens and slaves were denied votes. It wasn’t that long ago that women were denied the vote in this country was it? Socrates and Plato were of the opinion that there would be no votes and that the Republic should be governed by what they call “Philosopher Kings.” The argument they put forward it too complex to go through here but if you are interested in it, read The Republic. What they do particularly well is explain why various forms of governments end up in tyranny. It explains perfectly what is happening in the US right now and warns of what could happen here if we go down the populist route championed by Farage.

It was a tongue in cheek comment. Given I have long argued for PR in this country that is hardly the position of a facist.

It was a reasonable post until you asked for evidence that Farage is racist. If you need to ask you really have not been paying attention. Here’s a starter for you. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2024/09/24/everything-you-need-to-know-farage/

I do. I also have spent the last few months learning what the likes of Socrates and Plato thought of “democracy” and how and why it leads to tyranny (which is currently happening in the USA). Democracy has lead to the disaster that was Brexit. Democracy could also lead to Nigel Farage being the next PM of this country. Read Plato’s Republic. It is as prescient as Orwell’s 1984.

It really doesn’t bother me what people who hold certain views think of me. Honest Bob currently on stage with Farage (who describes Reform as “centre right” ). If he had any scruples he would stand down from his seat and give the constituents the opportunity to have their say via a by election.

You left out woke liberals too! 😉

They are from the people who have spent years having a pop at me and are similar to you, so you will have to forgive me if I put you in the same category. If you don’t like being given a title, perhaps stop doing it yourself?

Not really no. I think that Farage is a disingenuous twat and is a danger to this country. I am not going to apologise to anyone who supports his views and votes for him. Out of the people I have described as having a “far right” agenda, who do you think does not? On the political spectrum, in comparison to the current Tory Party would you say that Reform, in their agenda, were a) Closer to the centre than the Tories? b) On an equal footing to the Tories? c) Further right than the Tories? Do you think that is reasonable to assume that anyone posting in support a person with specific views aligns with their views?

Says the person who uses “titles.” Interesting to see how animated you become when people like Trump and Farage are criticised.

Also ignoring the irony that Trump’s policies are killing his own people.

The big concern I have is that people like you have a vote. The good news is that there is little to chose between both parties so hopefully they will scupper each other’s hopes of f**king the country again.

He probably wears a MAGA hat already. Anyone who thinks that Farage is the answer and who pretends that he doesn’t understand the difference between right and far right is prime meat for Trump’s agenda. The goods news is that the polls are reflecting a shrinking of support for Tories 2.0. You have to feel sorry for anyone right of centre. Where do you vote? Badenoch’s discredited and washed out Tories or Farage’s even more corrupt and washed up Tories whose grifting leader says “Never Trust A Tory.” You would like to think that those left with any shred of integrity will either stay at home at the next election or vote LibDem.

The least surprising piece of news for a long time … https://www.ft.com/content/991213ae-dab4-44ad-86eb-48045f97de96 They are tailor made for each other and will make Reform an even more disreputable party than it currently is. Farage will have to watch his back.

This is what the “weather” did to the sea wall a few miles from here last week. https://www.folkestone-hythe.gov.uk/news/article/393/storm-goretti-folkestone-hythe-update A bit of “weather” also ended this man’s life. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c79rqdv9xxlo.amp They issue weather warnings for a reason.

Trump isn’t strong on history. Nor are ICE apparently https://abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireStory/oglala-sioux-tribe-tribal-members-arrested-minneapolis-ice-129186393.

The US have actively been reducing the presence in their base in Greenland for a while now. Not sure how that sits with Trump’s position. Perhaps he should be talking to them about increasing the US presence again rather than threatening them?

One step at a time. We haven’t got Duckie out of the 60’s yet, let’s not even start with the 70’s yet.

What has this got to do with Iran? You kicked off because we weren’t talking about Iran so you got your thread on the subject, now you are posting about Greenland on the Iran thread. Sort yourself out man. As for Mandelson, is that the same guy who was besties with Trump’s pimp?
