[News] Nigel Farage and Reform

[Curious Orange]

You mean like saying "the woke mind virus killed my son", or his constant attacks on trans people, or his constant deadnaming of her?

Musk's public persona is really quite odious to me. Lot's of parents disagree with their child's lifestyle choices, but banging on about it public using language that nobody can quite pin down to having a specific meaning is just wrong.

Judging by data which has been sold, Yanks getting their hands on our NHS with lucrative health insurance policies.

The US system of healthcare is ridiculous, once you look into how the financial transactions work it becomes obvious that the same system would be unacceptable to the British public.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

i'm wondering why Musk is so focused on the little old, uninfluential, hasbeen, UK. why does he even care?

Massive investment opportunity.

(Once he has swept Labour into the sea).

Look at the boiling frog syndrome.

The 'only way' to improve health services is more investment - even Starmer is courting it!

If it was a Netflix drama it would be great, the problem is its actually real.

If it was a Netflix drama it would flop becuase noone would believe it.

Politics has jumped the shark.

 

[Peteinblack]

To be fair, he has invented the Cult of Musk, which while ghastly and pathetic, has been immensely successful

Musk, Farage, Trump, etc - they're all cults in my opinion!

Musk, Farage, Trump, etc - they're all cults in my view!

You've spelt a word wrong

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Trump was never going to go directly after Labour himself

Just using musk as his attack dog

The Farage stuff is just quite funny, all going to turn on themselves soon enough

Unfortunately, though Farage and Reform are complete jokes, I think they are likely to become more popular and may eventually get elected. This vid does a pretty good job of explain why:

Turns out Reform are only interested when it suits them

Not a chance.

Not a chance.

I hope you're right, but I can definitely see Farage and Reform UK becoming more popular, as disillusionment with the Starmer Government increases - some of it, of course, orchestrated and whipped-up by the Tory press, Musk, and Trump

I doubt Reform even make it to the GE based on what we are seeing already

That's one thing about the Far Right and Far Left - they often collapse into vicious infighting, claims to ideological purity, personality clashes, and bitter internal power struggles.

I used to marvel at how various self-proclaimed revolutionary Left or Marxist groups seemed to hate each other more than they hated capitalism and the bourgeoise - while preaching comradeship and solidarity!

In this case it'll be Racist People's Front vs. People's Front of Racism...

Money = power. Those with the most money (and power) currently back the far right. The Overton window has been moving right relentlessly for years now so I think it's only a matter of time before UKIP/Brexshit Party/Reform (or whatever the next incarnation is) slithers their way into government.

I have faith that Reform will never be elected. Once they come under scrutiny, I think folk would return to the Tory fold. Most people are 'centrists' in this country. They can be influenced by centre right, but Reform are too unpalatable for most. Still a protest vote.

I think.

There are good Labour folk and good Tory folk. I've not seen anything good in Reform. Just hate.
