Looking for the common ground, there is alway something; for me and slugs it is that we both want to eat the cabbages I grow in my garden.

Political but not party political. British and European. Brexit was a mistake.

  1. Nigel Farage is factually correct to highlight the 'genuine threat to public order'. But he forgot to mention that the threat comes from the people that vote for him.

  2. 1/2 If you choose to send people seeking asylum back to the country they fled, where they will be tortured and killed, you share the responsibility for their treatment and death.

    If you make deals with murderers, terrorists and dictators, you share responsibility for the crimes they commit…

  3. Even with such a short sighted, selfish and cruel world view, you would hope they still cared about the country they are hoping to govern. Under Farage and Reform it would become a hostile, isolated, barren and soulless place where the driving forces would be spite and hate. Hell!

  4. Reform's 'We don't care about rest of world' (RoW) line is moronic. Encouraging hostile regimes like the Taliban and Iran by returning their opponents to be killed is a) repellent b) would reinforce those regimes and their Russian allies and the threat they pose to UK.

    Cathy Newman, "How does this sound to someone from Afghanistan who is facing torture or even death?"

    Gawain Towler, member of Reform UK board, "We are not responsible for the whole world's problems.. I don't care about the whole world"

  5. Actively resent the fact we’re expected to listen to a press conference on “mass deportations” as if this is a perfectly normal, mainstream thing and not the unhinged rantings of a racist who is somehow on my television.

  6. Well, it's done wonders for boosting his credentials on protecting women & girls.

    Vote Reform to support the removal of Human Rights protections so we can send people to be tortured & murdered and to give legitimacy to one of the most misogynist & terrorist supporting regimes on the planet.

  7. Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage.

    Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants.

    Don't fall for it.

    MIGRANTS AREN'T THE PROBLEM

    Utterly utterly horrific. I was born in the 50’s, never in my life have I known racism on such a scale across the entire country.
