Are you now more likely to vote for REFORM (the party)

Any idea of benefit rates?

No. Even though the state of the company is pretty crap at present, it will be worse under Reform. Not one of them is in politics for the right reasons.

But if I want to run a business (a shop, a factory whatever) and become a high earner I need to raise the capital (and take on that risk) but I also need people to work for me. Ideally not slave labour but many of them will need to be earning less than me. Also I might hire expensive people like lawyers and accountants but their jobs wouldn't exist without the people on the factory/shop floor. So the "net tax contributors" can't exist without the people you deem "drags on the economy". It's like emptying most of a planes fuel just before takeof because it's "dead weight and the engine and wings are the ones working together to generate thrust".

I think there's a happy medium where the gap between CEOs and the average employees wages isn't quite so extreme. But unless we make everyones salary the same (not what I think you are advocating) some people will be on lower wages AND be essential to the economy and the earning of higher wages by other people.

Well. We can either pay everyone in the country £35k, ban lower earners from having children, or reopen workhouses.

Which one to choose…

People earning Slave wages are a net drag on the economy, especially if they have dependents.

Bannon also gives the impression he was meeting with Farage. He may be lyíng of course, he's a pretty shameless person. But I think ít raises some questions.

I also have a problem with left wing people like Peter Mandleson. Even before the most recent tranche of emails came out I thought he was the wrong choice for Ambassador because his friendship/fawning over someone who was a convicted sex offender and known wrong 'un showed at best poor morals and judgement. That wasn't conspiracy theorising/purity politics. Just judging someone by the people they admire. Likewise Farage's persistent praising of Trump/his repeated attempts to get into Trump's/Musks/Thiells inner circle speaks (tó me) of a very skewed moral compass. Just as Epstein's criminal conviction and rumoured behaviour were common knowledge by 2010,.so Trumps being found guilty of rape his shady dealings, his own comments on walking in on Míss Teen contestants etc etc is common knowledge. Farage's admiration of him isn't any better IMO than Mandlesons admiration of Epstein's wealth and fame. It's not illegal, it just concerning to me. And gives Bannons claims greater credibility.
But time will out. I was right about Mandleson.

It's ok, you stick to 'nothing tio see here', 'conspiracy theory', 'desperate'

If Reform is your kind of party, vote for them. I won't.

Are you also going to lower housing, energy and food costs? Because if you reduce the pittance that UK benefits are, you're going to end up with more street homeless, more crime, more civil unrest.

Why is it that your kind always want to take money away from those who already struggle and hand it to those who are already wealthy?

If we cut benefits they might have to reconsider.

Good idea. Will consider it when I reach retirement if I need the money.

No, I am not. Furthermore, I would vote for any party that's not even more far right in order to keep them out. I know they see that as unfair, but boo hoo.

No legal relevance then. My mistake I didn't realise the term had been adopted by some companies. Did you read the policies? My assumption is though they might talk about encouraging applications/removing barriers/making the workplaces proactively safe spaces/corporate speak they won't mention hiring quotas etc. Because in the US environment you can use affirmative action to make sure X percent of new hires are from a minority. In the UK they can't. You can have a "target" but you are very limited in what you can do to meet that target. I haven't read the policies I'm to lazij. I'm just guessing they wont be breaking employment law.

Bloody hell - that's desperate.

Epstein was in contact with Bannon who advised that Brexit was an opportunity. By association the Brexit campaign was being fronted by Farage.

None of this gives any evidence to your post "Do you care about Farage's Russian links" and your theory that Farage had Russian links which I think I have clearly demonstrated (beyond appearing on RT and his comments on Putin) he doesn't have any.

Yes rising unemployment and AI decimating some industries/taking jobs so we have plenty of people.

DEI is an American term. It has no relevance to UK companies

DEI appears to be a common term in the UK (random search):

You see, this is the 'Do your own research' trope.

The response is Hitchens' Razor: A claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Mind you, the clue might be in the word 'multinational' - they tend to have a broader outlook in terms of what effective recruitment looks like for them. Unless you can evidence that companies are deliberately exclusing superior white British candidates in favour of less suitable minority candidates, you've got nothing.

absolutely fucking not.

No but belief is. I admit Im woolly about exactly where the line falls. You could argue being Gender Critical is a "political position" but it's protected as a belief, and therefore you can't legally be barred from a pub for being GC even if you are going there after a (political) demonstration.
You can't bar someone for how they voted because you can't know how they voted anyway I guess but I don't know if you could bar someone just for wearing a Labour/Reform rosette. Hmmm. Public Houses are different to eg workíng mens clubs which have more freedom to choose who they want as members and therefore who to serve so they could.
I reçkon it could be an interesting court case íf you were barred for supporting Labour and wanted to argue that supporting Labour was a result of your beliefs. But its not really relevant when its only MPs or political figures (eg Tommy ten names) being banned.

Maybe if hell freezes over, and I wake up next week a size 8, with a huge lottery win, and......oh, wait ✋ still no.

I thought political opinions were not generally protected characteristics either.

The issue we face is one that every western Country faces. The indigenous population refuse to work for slave wages. By introducing immigrants who have no choice but to work for slave wages we can get the work done and generate tax which will subsidise the indigenous population

No

Or you could come out of retirement and do the jobs. The older generation could really show those lazy gen Zers how it's done?

There s no conspiracy theory, is there?

I thought we had rising unemployment. They can take on these jobs
