To be increasung concerned about Restore Britain.

You had a row with him, which suggests you tried to influence him not to vote Lowe. Typical leftie behaviour.

It’s not about numbers. It’s all about emotion. Thats what these people do, rile you up on social media.

I accept your points and just to be clear I don't hate anybody😁

Tolerance for democracy? I’d say it’s pretty strong still

Nor did I
Where did I say I told him not to vote for him ..
I might not approve,but he has a mind of his own

Lowe is charismatic in a way. It’s an easier sell than you think, particularly with very limited opportunities for young people

Seriously
That's a surprise..
What happened to being taught tolerance at school

My eldest son and I have always been political opposites, he’s a leftie and I’m right wing … I wouldn’t dream of telling him not to vote for someone. How ridiculous.

Same where I am the support for Restore is far more than is being reported and the horrific Henry Nowak arrest and death and the Belfast man butchered in the streets has added to it.

These would have been covered up like other stuff had it not been for social media and the govt trying to say let's pretend that all is okay when it is so far from okay.

Two tier policing/DEI wokeness and allowing the world's ultra violent dregs in.

Healey has resigned, Starmer is a dead man walking. Most despicable PM ever.

Erm … I was replying in response to the point one poster had made to another stating that leaving the EU is the reason we get more boat people (who were previously getting onto trucks before boats) and the nonsense that EU membership was keeping these arrivals down. The EU is the key facilitator in this, and has done nothing effective to stop these arrivals, the trafficking etc, and has penalised countries Poland and Hungary for controlling their borders when it would be better if the EU would follow their example.

The Belfast migrant came via France then Dublin. Those who come to the UK via France should not have got there in the first place. Ineffectual border control and wet ineffectual EU elites are the problem.

You told your son not to vote for the nasty man? Ok!

Im in London and Restore is what all the young people around where I live are into. They want a future that prioritises fairness and are genuinely feeling that only minorities are cared about.

If there was a vote just in my city and the only options were conservatives and restore, Restore would walk it. And I say that as a Tory.

Yes I would be worried. I do not think Reform can meet the appetites of a lot of people, and Restore is less full of old Tories. They increasingly say the things that Reform feel they cannot.

I would think all bets are off about nationality and migration. Lose the ECHR and any of us are just dependent on what the government of the day think about us, or indeed, or skin colour.

Yes, they are.

Do you discount a Cairns-Healey ticket? It’s terminal for Starmer - but you know this.

Nope, I know of at least 5 young people who are members of restore and many of their friends are supports.

Support for Restore is MUCH higher than the media will have you believe. They held a meeting in my town and they had to change the venue due to underestimating how many would go.

We were never in Schengen so always had control of our borders when it came to non-EU citizens.

What happened there is they had a list of possible people to repatriate plus family members and accidentally made said list public. Meaning the Taliban now had a list of everyone believed to have helped the UK armed forces (whether they did or not) and their family and all their info. If those people weren't in danger before the leak, they were after. And arguably the UK had a moral responsibility to the people they put in harms way.
So the calculation was changed from "are these people at risk because they helped our forces" to "are these people at risk because we put them on a list of really good targets for revenge attacks and leaked it". And a lot more people belonged in the second category than the first. And the government didn't even bring in everyone they'd put at risk.

So indeed it was a fuck up. One that should never be repeated.

I've actually had a row with my 16 year old son about this , because I said Lowe was a nasty man and I'd never vote for him.
How he has got 16 year olds to follow him ,is beyond me
I thought the younger generation were all green voters

Who isn’t opppsed to genocide? Hamas.

@ElizaMulvil the Afghan scheme has been abused to high heaven and one of the worst things foisted on this country and kept hidden.

A huge proportion did nothing to aid us it’s a con and on top of that some have brought 20 plus family members. They will never ever work and don’t speak English.

They also have the highest incidence of criminal activity per capita bar none.

No we don’t have a morally duty to take asylum seekers to the detriment of our own lives …that’s suicidal empathy. Their culture in particular is not compatible with ours.

What we do have a moral duty to do is look after our own first and foremost and not be the dumping for those from the Stone Age third world hell holes who want to ride the gravy train here.

Are they? Remind me how many defence secretaries we’ve had in the last decade - I make it six and one of them only managed three months.

They have massively reduced processing times.
Boat arrivals are down on last year
Overall net migration is also down
The benefits available to all migrants are much less than they were

The problem with "smashing the myth" is you are here. People in other countries are there. The UK already has programmes basically anti-advertosing the UK as not as good as the people smugglers say. This is paid for from the foreign aid budget by the way which is often complained about as not helping our own. We could do more to target the people smugglers and more to target (with information) the potential victims of the people smugglers.

The other problem is that, just as people abroad believe mistruths so do people here. labour could cut migration to 0 and people would still complain it was rising. Also, having the likes of Farage/SYL roaming the world telling people the UK is a soft touch and super generous is not helpful to deterring irregular migrants. Hes doing the people smugglers advertising for them.

Meanwhile, the wheels are starting to fall off the Socialist circus bandwagon.

Healey today.

Volumes not values.

@Persephonia1966 time to smash the myth that the UK is the land of milk and honey.
Stricter acceptance policy and deportation time scales ie not dragging on for a decade.
Labour get a grip of this Reform are done as they've nothing else.
Look at the state of the local councils in England that speaks values.
