As a proud Northerner i can say 80 per cent of my peer group will vote for Reform in May. Do you think it will be a North v South split?

Or showing my age now, Beverley Allitt?

I was going to mention her. She is 57 now. It doesn't seem that long ago.

Exactly, it's really interesting (for want of a better word) why so many people can't believe she's capable of doing such a thing, picking over her case and desperate to find her innocent.
Why her but not others?

Show quote history

I don’t think she’s innocent … I think she’s guilty but whilst questions are still being asked there is doubt, no matter how small.

IAmBeaIDrinkTea · 24/04/2026 13:52

It's like people don't want to believe she's guilty. She doesn't look the "type." She could be your mate, someone you know, " like you "

Yes he is now but what about the years he’s lived at the tax payers expense? Should have got rid of him years ago.

Lucy Letby, it’s not 100% proven that she’s guilty so no.

Show quote history

Well exactly, that’s one of the reason the death penalty was abolished. LL was tried and convicted and appeal was denied. So yes she’s guilty in the eyes of the law. What caveat would you have in place to prevent her being given the death penalty if you’re giving it to others who are convicted of heinous crimes?

Atleastthedoglikesme · 24/04/2026 13:49

She's been convicted in a court of law.

Yes but questions are still being asked so it’s not undeniable guilt so no. It has to be 100% undeniable guilt.

Reform’s official position on childless couples is NOT to increase their taxes. This was proposed by one reform member and is not official policy.

The equality act does need reforming and remote working is a non issue really.

Show quote history

Reforming the equality act is not the same as scrapping it.
I quite like vulnerable groups being protected from discrimination...

Remote working enables a high number of disabled people and mothers to work who would otherwise be reliant on benefits. It is definitely not a "non-issue".

And here we have the exact issue…the superior attitude and treating anyone who wants to vote for reform as imbeciles who don’t understand what they are voting for. This is EXACTLY what happened with Brexit and look where that got the country!!!

So calling yourself a 'proud' northerner is ok?

Also, Rudakabana was officially a child at the time of the crimes. Should we kill those who murdered Jamie Bulger as well, if we are killing people who commit murder before they are adults? I am really wondering who Restore want to give death penalty to. Letby was convicted of killing tiny helpless babies. She would definitely be on the death penalty list I assume?

Edited

Show quote history

One of James’ killers went on to commit more crimes involving children so yes, he should go.

As for Rudakabana … lower the age of “adult” to 16. You know what you’re doing at that age.

Bit late for Huntley.

"Like" is a strange epithet to attach to the death penalty.

And you'll put up with tax on childlessness, scrapping of equality act and remote working rights alongside those?

I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monsters
as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.
Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood,
remind you of how great you once were,
clear out the venal and the corrupt,
remove anything you feel is unlike you…

It doesn’t walk in saying,
“Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution.”

Thinking of "far right" as a stereotypical skinhead type is dangerous nonsense.
What's that poem I'm thinking of (don't have time just now to Google)
Along the lines of fascism doesn't just stride in in jackboots and announce itself that way.
It can be your everyday, "nice" neighbour too
