What I would like to ask Reform supporters what are the specific Reform policies they support?

This is a ridiculous argument. Yes there are terrible white SA abusers. But this doesn’t make it ok for Pakistanis to organise gang rape of vulnerable children on a massive scale. The two are different things.

There have not been numerous (any?) organised white gangs deliberately preying on white children in care. If there had been, the law would have immediately come down on them.

Instead, the rape gangs were people invited into our country. Our institutions did not deal with them because they feared being called racist - over a period of 15-20 years.

This is beyond scandalous on multiple levels.

To your original point - do you think no SA is carried out in the home by other ethnic group? It’s just a white thing is it? And negates by other groups?

All of that said, clearly whoever said the original comment to you was way out of line and doesn’t deserve a response.

Because it's not like any other critter needs green space if it's not being used for agriculture, high density housing or industry. Even if they do, it's not as if humanity has suffered from upsetting these ecosystems before.
It's not as if removing the carbon capture from our environment will impact climate change.
It's not as if open spaces contribute to drainage and flood management.
It's not as if being in nature is shown to be beneficial in the mental health crisis we're 'enjoying'.
Build on all of it and enjoy the brave new world.

I don’t support Reform because of distrust of far right and they have no experience of government + are a collection of loons BUT
I completely understand why people support them. We have too many people from elsewhere in this country and it is changing the nature of the country. It will get worse given numbers of children in Muslim families over UK families. The Pakistani rape gangs were an absolute scandal and show how badly we’ve failed here.

Previous governments have failed us completely on this score. I’d much rather Labour had got a handle on this in a responsible and fair way though.

Countries across Europe and the US are voting the same, it’s far from a U.K. phenomenon.

You asked for it lol....

Thanks for sharing....I'll have a read
I've no idea who to vote for anymore in that case.....:(
Won't bother voting at all methinks......Emmeline Pankhurst will be turning in her grave.....but
they're all as bad as each other :(

Thanks for sharing.....cause I really don't understand politics.....why is nothing straightforward? Argh

Why are the greens dangerous??? I thought they were tree hugging hippies who care about the environment, no? (How the hell can they be more dangerous than Reform????!)
..........
The Greens have some seriously eccentric members, Evie, who evangelise about things that have nothing to do with Green issues.
Google and you will see.

Their leader typifies all that: https://unherd.com/2025/09/zack-polanski-is-an-eco-fantasist/

You might want to revisit that view if you are Jewish.
Or if you think that just printing more money to fund increased Government spending is not a good idea if you want to avoid Weimar Germany style hyperinflation.

They’re not doing this anymore

Until they get into power, they can’t do anything.

They’re not doing this anymore

Original 👏.

Racist!

I reca hearing that about Polish people....:(

Remainers are not dickheads!
You could say Brexit voters were the dickheads because they were foolish enough to believe everything they were told
We were told Brexit would save us millions
It absolutely didn't and has cost us more now that we're not in the EU
I didn't vote either way as felt I didn't have sufficient information. I was right

Why are the greens dangerous??? I thought they were tree hugging hippies who care about the environment, no? (How the hell can they be more dangerous than Reform????!)

Perfectly expressed 👏👏

What I meant 'anyone' is like, anyone. A day tripper can get ill, go see a doctor that day and pay the €30 and walk out with a prescription. And the prices for those drugs are usually less than €10 not the private prescrition costs that the UK charges.

For those in the system, most of it gets refunded so it costs a couple of € but before I left the UK, it tooks hours and hours of being on the phone to even get an appointment let alone actually see someone the same day. I remember sitting on Zoom meetings with a phone to my other ear waiting patiently as I was the 45th in the queue just to try and get an appointment to see someone.

Last month I got a prescription for a Dexa scan, I went home, booked it online, for the next week, drove there, parked for free in the car park right outside the premises, went, had the scan, waited by reception, paid the fees, got the results in an envelope before I left. And I can get the fee reimbursed by the top up insuance. And it was as calm and measured as can be. People just calmly doing their job.

It is a whole different world. You do not realise just how disfunctional it all is until you leave.

I think the NHS needs addressing. I firmly believe in it, however, I’m not blind to the potential need to make it more private healthcare based.

When our dear Nige bangs on about the French system, I’m strongly reminded of the time he banged on about a Norwegian style Brexit.

He would sell out to a US style one, reward his paymasters looking for a 70m person market. This is even more clear to me now as he has obviously just pulled France out of a hat and a PP has found other cheaper places. He’s not mentioned options - just floating an idea like the second hand car salesman he is.

It would also cost a lot to set up a European style healthcare system and require more, not less, investment. This is never going to happen under Reform - they are here to asset strip the U.K. for themselves and their cronies.

I do think folk won’t be too happy but, there’s a lot of variables there, so we may see - fingers crossed we never have to see though!

Any non white your f**d. Horrible vile racist but hey ho

The NHS is a holy cow in the UK and any attempts to alter its setup will be met with howls of protest.

The only thing that seems acceptable is for the NHS to be given more and more money.

@Shedmistress Interesting to hear your experience of the French healthcare system. I had heard that it works better than the NHS but I believe the French also spend more per person on healthcare.
Google suggests that the Dutch system costs roughly the same as the British system per person but has better outcomes. Apparently, each person buys basic private insurance from competing non-profit insurers. Through taxation, the government subsidises low earners to pay for their healthcare premiums. GP visits, maternity care and healthcare for children is free.
Maybe we need to consider better options than the NHS.

I think the key point to your comparison is "and anyone can see a doctor for €30".

In the UK it is free and when things are free demand will always exceed supply. For example when carrier bags were free people took loads even if they didn't need them or paper napkins in take aways where people grab a handful even if they only need two.

Now where supply is limited (as in the case of healthcare) then this excess demand is managed by queuing - same thing happened in communist Eastern Europe where there were queues for heavily subsidised food.

And exactly the same thing happens with free healthcare, where if you have the time to wait you get an appointment, whereas if there was a small charge of say £5 then people would reconsider if they really needed that appointment.

I haven't read any of Reforms policies but just chipping in for some reality of the French Health care system. The first 70% is free once you are in it, which is after 6 months of coming here. You get a top up to cover the rest. And anyone can see a doctor for €30. The prescriptions are very decently priced and reclaimable through insurance or the system. You can see a doctor on the samw day, you can book a doctor or specialist online, you get blood tests the same day, and if you go to A&E, last time I went i was in and done in 30 mins. And a French doctor diagnosed on the first visit somwthing id seen multiple consultants about in the 15 years before leaving the UK, after numerous scans, inside and out, operations to remove what they thought it was (it wasnt) and she diagnosed it by listening to the words I was saying. And she was right. And I was speaking in a different language.

She plead guilty because she was being held in custody and could have waited a long time for a court date whereas Ricky Jones was granted bail. That was key difference
