Spot on.

Which side are people who think Farage talks shite about almost everything but I'm with him on the boats, on?
I'll keep digging to find the survey I read that over 80% gave that as the reason for voting Reform but his anti net zero and pro Trump bollocks barely registers.

On the question on rounding up illegal immigrants en masse, Farage has enraged the likes of Rupert Lowe by saying this is impractical and won't happen. Farage isn't interested in policy detail so why is he taking this line?

It suits him to have a line he can point to, just like direct dealing with Yaxley-Lennon has been a line. Rupert Lowe's not going to displace him.

Interesting that green energy isn't particularly resonating with Reform voters. They're going for that hugely in Lincolnshire, with the mayoralty, the county council and Tice as a local MP. I wonder if that might need to be dialed down.

I've spent the last day wondering what Reform is actually going to do in the councils they control. Obviously the diversity officer will get the chop straight away and as will sustainability policies that aren't a lefal requirement. Does it mean no more bus lanes, cycle lanes, speed bumps, 20mph speed limits, parking spaces for people with disabilities? Reform despise pretty much everyone so they could do a lot of damage.

It's all a fug-hing laugh until party of schoolkids are mown down by an old bloke with string-backed glives driving a jag convertible.

Well the thing is, virtually every local authority in the country has been chronically underfunded by Tory central government for about the last 15 years, and has already been obliged to make whatever, often massive, savings that they could. There is virtually no area left where savings might conceivably be made. A Tory council leader on C4 news just now was saying that local government auditors these days are apparently as rare as hens’ teeth, and that the Reform wankers will struggle even to find an auditor, let alone “call them in” to cut “woke”expenditure.

So Farage and his tribe of cunts are already coming out with utter bullshit and barefaced lies. Watch this space to see Reform-controlled councils going tits up within a matter of months.

This was Johnson's shtick when he stood for the London mayoralty. He would have a full audit of Red Ken's horrendous waste but he found nothing. Apart from closing a PR puff piece newspaper trumpeting the mayoralty's achievements. Bozo didn't need that because the media was an open forum for him to bullshit with impunity.

[RedSparrows]

The boats are the issue now, but the machine whirs: it'll make another thing the issue soon enough.

Brexit is a case in point. Nobody gave a shit until it was decided that they must give a shit, and lo, shits were given
