I wonder if they have any idea how much it costs to build and run a detention centre? Or how long it can take to get permission for it?

Well, of course they don’t. It’s kite-flying, grandstanding, vindictive, hateful shite. Alas, there will be some fuckwits who will love this and look no further, but on the whole I think this could backfire on Reform/Farage quite badly. Well, hopefully.

It won't. When it goes to shit they'll blame everyone else, just like they will for everything.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has been mocked after publishing a campaign message in a Welsh newspaper attacking London Mayor Sadiq Khan and urging Powys voters to back his party in the “London elections” this week.

Piss-ups, breweries.

They'll find some way of coming out of this looking like the victims.

Even if it did, and there were zero immigrants left in Reform areas, the knuckleheads would find their lives remain exactly the same and move on to look for the next scapegoat to blame for their lives being shit. Look at the riot arrests two years ago, 40% had domestic violence convictions (and that's just the convictions, not arrests, or withdrawn witness statements, or technical acquittals etc etc). These people do not have the mental dexterity to take accountability for their own lives. It's always someone else's fault.

Which is Niemoller's poem in a nutshell.

I don't think so. "Put it where the Greens are" is a version of the US "send em to Martha's Vineyard", which I'd guess played pretty well with the base.

Law and order stuff is a relatively small part of the budget. Reform will just knock it off benefits.

Massachussetts is a long way away from Shitkick, Oklahoma. In the UK, the leafy green suburbs are slap bang next to the rough estates.

North Herefordshire is a long way from Grimsby though.

Ah but the likes of Leigh aren’t far from Manchester

North Herefordshire is a long way from Grimsby though.

Its 'sod the lot of them' voters in places like Grimsby that Reform are concerned about. In Denton and Gorton many gave the Greens a punt to fill the potholes instead of Reform.
Reform aren't wasting time doing battle with Lib Dems in the home counties.

After three decades of leading parties, Farage just can't get the hang of this vetting malarky. Fortunately for him there's a deep well of vile individuals he can draw upon.

A former Reform candidate, suspended after calling Jimmy Savile his "role model", has continued campaigning for the party and saying he is being "re-vetted".

He had called Savile a "working-class hero" adding, "these allegations were never proven and really, how it came out after his death was the worst thing.”

He stated the “campaign” against Savile was “not a true reflection of who he was”.

Reform subsequently withdrew its support of Hartley's candidacy.

Now, his campaign page has called for people to vote for Reform's Paul Jeffreys, saying "my God we need to get some common sense back in charge".

Sweepstake on how many councillors are suspended within 6 months from Friday?

[kreuzberger]

I'll have 1933 Reichsmarks on 14.

[Boiler]

I'll have 65* Reichsmarks on 9.
