[News] Nigel Farage and Reform

[papachris]

He's an utter tosser.

My loathing of this creature is off the scale.

Total scum.

I am so angry about what Farage said. He doesn't understand anything. The reason Ukraine was invaded is because they didn't have the protection of NATO/EU.
And there is nothing to admire about Putin, he's a monster who only cares about himself not even his own people. That's why he thinks nothing of sending more and more people into the mincer.
Farage is just a populist creating division in the UK.

 

[papachris]

Farage isn’t just that harmless bloke in the golf clubhouse, something I’ve been told before by non-UKIP voters.

Every now and then he slips up, we get a chink of light into his true, nasty self. The racist (Sunak doesn’t understand our culture, the chum of racist Trump), the mate of genocidal fascist Putin. Newsnight was good earlier, young voters noted his hypocrisy … he claims he’s pro referenda and self determination, but inherently against the public of Latvia and Estonia voting for EU membership and NATO protection. At the same time ignoring the Russians who loath Putin but live in tyranny, a misstep away from disappearing forever.

He got too cocky, stepping beyond logical immigration message that does appeal to many, spurting his pro Putin bullshit and cynically today referencing Andrew Tate to harvest votes of disaffected young men.

I hope this costs him.

The media and other parties need to go all out attack, reminding voters that beneath the immigration message, there’a a racist and friend of a fascist. That his party contains apologists for Hitler. Go for the jugular, wind him up at remaining debates. Labour can safely do this too, their majority will be vast. They should.

Well said!

There are pros and cons to FPTP. But here thank god we have it, in that a pure PR system would give Far Right (said very deliberately) Reform 110 seats.

The remnants of the Tory party need to distance themselves post election from this evil sh1t.

They held a mock election at my daughter's school:
Labour 145 votes
Green 122
Reform 94
Libs 54
Con 41
Plaid Cymru 21
Monster Raving 12
Abolish the Welsh Assembly 8

The youth are really latching on to Reform, I'm sure it's through TikToc, I find it quite an eye opener as to how much influence social media has on the minds of youngsters.

Similarly and connected, the Andrew Tate effect. He’s acts a guru on everything to vast numbers of teen/20’s males. At time where kids can feel lost in life, their roles, their future, distant from parents …. exploiting that. Tate is political and effectively right wing.

 

[Pevenseagull]

In summary.

He loves Putin and thinks that young men should listen to Andrew Tate.

The swingometer of **** needs repairing

I wonder if this'll make certain parties think hard about their policy of reducing the voting age to 16?

Total scum.

Did he start the speeches he is so proud of with 'Russia calling. Russia calling?'

We lack natural entrepreneurs and instead glorify Labour-voting layabouts and weak-willed jobsworths with peverted proclivities and low productivity. Glad Nige has saluted the Top G Tate. Despite what the Islamist media says, there is a silent majority in this country sick of all of the bans on freedom. Brexit has been restrained by these careerists no doubt receiving Brussels paychecks. Starmer is a Ukraine shill. Putin is feared in the west because of his unabashed display of masculinity, which our estrogen-injecting youth can't compute through their ADHD-frazzled brains.

Is that the general gist of it?

?

 

[Nobby]

Maybe we could ask some of them which policies persuaded them to vote for Reform?

To cast a vote for Reform means you are either

1. Thick as mince
2. An utter bstd - selfish, arrogant, misogynistic, racist, uncaring, narcissistic, psychopathic, self important without any thought for others, or our country’s future.

I would imagine that most voting Reform are No 1
But some, and a couple on here, fall into category 2

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

I can see it.

They will be popular.

If I was 15 years old at the moment and was flooded with stories that everything is wrong because of immigrants and that I would never own a home and would never be happy it would appeal.

The next 5 years won't be much better. Hopefully less corrupt, but not much better.

It's not going to be good.

It’s amazing how this narrative still holds true. Brexit was supposed to stop immigration in its tracks. It’s had the opposite effect (unsurprisingly). You’d think these thick t***s would put two and two together.

My 13 year old son came up to me the other day asking why this bloke 'Farage' and his party reform keep popping up on his tic toc feed. He asked me if it was true that rapists are not being sent to prison because the prisons are full with immigrants which was one of the things he had seen on there.

I suspect there is a targeted effort to influence kids through social media platforms like tic toc as part of a wider long term strategy to shift the views of the population in this country to the right.

I really have this is a moment for the Tory party. Clearly Farage wants to take over and they need to give their heads a wobble. He’s effing dangerous

I starting to hope they don’t get completely wiped out we need a proper opposition for the sake of democracy.

I’d rather have these types out in the open as opposed to hiding in the Tory party.

110 seats? Is that on a straight current % of the polls. Any sensible proportional representation system would probably reduce that.
or if not, it could force, say, Reform to work with Labour (and others) which would mean them thrashing out a coalition agreement. It’s worked in Germany quite well for nearly 80 years.

That's appalling.

Nothing to do with the criminal justice system being chronically underfunded by the (party of law and order) Conservatives...

I have to admit, I know nothing about TikTok - is there any equivalent to the Twitter community notes so posts can be rebutted with facts?

Sky news (rightly IMHO) focusing on Farage’s words as the No1 issue this morning whilst the BBC are downplaying it in favour of gender politics.
