[News] Nigel Farage and Reform

[golddene]

A troll is someone who posts to wind people up. Not someone who posts genuinely held beliefs for the sake of discussion. If this is an official "Labour party and points left" political discussion board, then you might have a point. But if it's a football board with a strong political element, then not.

I've already been banned from one board for having political views in disagreement with the majority (FMTTM, Middlesbrough) and it does seem to be a feature of some people who claim to decry fascism, that they wish to silence the voices of those who they don't agree with. With is a contradictory position indeed. This board, by and large, is tolerant of differing opinions; a minority is not.

You, banned for holding political beliefs not acceptable to some members of other forums ! Nah, don’t believe that for a moment, next you’ll be telling us the moon is not made from cheese !!!!!!
that’s ludicrous.

Playing the victim - a classic Right-wing tactic: "Yer can't say nuffink anymore cos of them snowflake Wokies." Yet we still see the Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Sun, The Times, and the Daily Telegraph published every day, and promoting Tory views and policies. And GBNews broadcasts rabidly Right-wing, pro-Brexit, views on a daily basis. And Farage has appeared on 'Leftie' BBC's Question Time almost more often than any other politician over the last 10 years.

You Right-wingers seem to think that people disagreeing with you, or calling you a Troll, is equivalent to being 'cancelled' or banned. Like I say, it's all part of the Hard Right's tactic of playing the victim card; claiming that they are being oppressed or silenced by 'the liberal elite' or 'fascist Left', when the Right actually have far more opportunities and outlets to express their views - and promote social division - than anyone else, not least because the Right are so well-funded (albeit by some dodgy sources).

I wonder how much freedom and tolerance Farage and Reform UK would grant their critics and political opponents if they were in government. Many of those who support Farage/Reform UK exude strong authoritarian views towards various minorities, reflecting their view that "we've gone soft due to political correctness and Wokery". The Right seem to want freedom for themselves, but a clamp-down on the rest of us!

I take your point about what a troll is, and how it is that you're not a troll. I disagree that you're protesting though. You're just enabling something extremely unpleasant and, potentially, dangerous.

This is an interesting utube which shows online spending and reach, as well as showing Farage cornering the market it suggests in my view that Labour support is more in a bubble, 3 mins long.

Why do you feel Farage is such a big hit? Are Reform flying in your constituency?

But you, quite clearly, are a troll ...

Who is funding it, I wonder?

more like evidence of large bot army working for Reform.

He's put me on ignore

Now, correct me if I'm wrong. If you want to join a football website and win the hearts and minds of people so they support your agenda, the first thing to avoid is to create a username that is a combination of one of the biggest shit holes in Sussex, with its long history of NF skins and post war concrete prefab town centre grimness, and a f***ing scavenging dog.

And then I'd be minded to not start posting obviously fake tropes, and links to laughably poor websites . .

And I'd shrug off mockery (even PPF could shrug off mockery, albeit that may be because he didn't understand what it meant) with a bit of humour if possible (everyone loves a comedian).

So finally I'd definitely recommend avoiding the obverse: getting all titsy, and putting mild mannered, polite, infrequent posters with little interest in politics let alone arguments, like myself, on ignore.

But I'm a reasonable sort, and I could be wrong.

I can't help but wonder what the Reform supporters and voters on here think of this



So are you going to claim you really didn't know what you were supporting, or is it really what you think ?

@bluenitsuj @Giraffe, @Crawley Dingo, @worthingseagull123, @Wallace, @dsr-burnley @Ding Dong ! @goldstone @Me Atome @peterward (and these are only the ones honest enough to admit they supporting and voting for Reform)

Answers below (and before you dive in, although option 1 would make you look really f***ing stupid, option 2 makes you look a complete ****). Your call

The interesting thing is some of the characters featured tonight weren't just random Reform supporters, they were individuals in Farage’s closet inner campaign circle.

Nothing burger.
Some of the reform types are a bit rough and ready, but then a labour party member got cashiered for it the other day. Its the inevitable smear campaign from the establishment as reform grows. Latest poll I saw said Reform more voters than Tories 17 and 15 percent with 18 seats to 60 respectively. That would be a major victory as all the other parties are globalist shills.
