Just that really. I am a Labour voter, and I know what Labour policies I support. I think I know what Conservative and Lib Dem policies their supporters like. I don't know about Reform.

@MsJinks

The £5m is telling us more about Reform U.K. than the local elections did.

People were aware of the £5 million before the local elections.

Lmao. Don’t talk about Kaffy like that. Ben is all grown up now. Louise is in Spain. Your kids must be “very very proud” to have a wonderful mum and a shining example like you. Instead of talking about politics you keep brining kaffy and Sharon and Ben and Louise into it.

I just hope you stick to CMS. Although I don’t suppose it’s much anyway. Thankfully I imagine that your ex is just happy she is now with a new man

You must be joking, are you not aware of the damage that R Reeves inflicted on businesses and Milliband with his zero net policy when other European countries have abandoned it

zero net?

Which European countries have abandoned net zero please?

I think you’ll find Reform really are a massive threat to women and women’s rights. Are you not concerned about:
Removal of employment rights impacting women much more than men?
Loss of mat leave, carers leave?
Tax breaks so women can breed?
Tightening to removal of termination availability?

I appreciate you are passionately gender critical - that’s ok - though I do think focussing on this whilst all other biological women’s rights are burned is something to review.

  • “Reform will abolish maternity leave” → not currently an official published policy.
  • “Reform wants to ban abortion” → not official policy, though some members hold more socially conservative views.
  • “Tax breaks so women breed” → rhetorical framing of family-incentive policies.

I don’t need to search it up - as anyway I would rather do anything else than crowdfund this enquiry for the victims to be used (effectively abused) on the alter of Lowe’s abhorrent ideologies. As I said I am happy there is an official enquiry.

I don’t actually go on specifically Palestine marches no - as I don’t feel I know enough about the whole background to shout a view. I do counter protest the animals shouting abuse outside hotels yes - just so everyone having to hide in there knows that at least some of us in the U.K. do not want to burn them alive. I will March against fascists too until the day I die as I fear for my grandkids’ and their peers’ future.

However, today I am glad that you and I can have opinions and protest for our own beliefs - your party will work on removing that right - harder and faster than labour are!

Btw - you’re still not answering my question as to why the protestors/Tommy associates do have a disproportionately high amount of DA/SA records?

Anyone who votes Labour or Green is absolutely clueless. Green leader has made many antisemitism comments. Labour have emboldened the hatred for Jews by recognising Palestine and appealing to the Muslim vote. Unfortunately, for people like you until your daughter or grandaughter gets SA by one of these immigrants illegals then you will never see the light. If you love them so much offer to host them, live with them then you find out sharpish about them. You only need to see the countless stories about them.

You can take a horse to water and show it sense but unfortunately it won’t drink it.

Amy Challoner and her ilk mean Greens are one of the biggest threats women and children have faced in this country for a very long time. That any reasonably intelligent woman or caring intelligent man would vote Green is beyond belief for me. I will never vote Green and all those who did should hang their heads in shame.

So your one of those clueless lefties then who go to Palestine marches or hope not hate.

antisemitism is everywhere nowadays but mostly in one community. Unfortunately they perpututate their deep hate for Jews based on their religious differences from their book and Mohammed hatred for Jews.

i guess your talking about Mr Robinson.

it won’t let me post the link but you can search it up £700k been raised for the grooming gang report by Rupert Lowe. I would post the crowd funding page, the website for the report but it won’t let me so if you genuinely interested and as caring as you pretend to be then you have to search it up yourself.

I don’t sit with anti semitism at all - I don’t sit with one party either - and I will call out what I see as problematic too - you won’t agree here, but I dislike Labour’s immigration policies and I say so for example. Overall, for me, it’s about basic humanity - love not hate - not party politics although I do sit on the left.

As Starmer is bringing his own kids up as Jewish and Polanski is Jewish then I have more confidence in their general anti-semitism. I do see a lot more anti semitism when I go to counter protests against the right - I see Nazi salutes, I hear ‘Heil Hitler’ and I see self avowed Neo Nazis - far outweighs anything seen on the left side - it’s disturbing.

Whilst I’m here though - and 4th time to ask - disproportionate numbers of DA/SA offenders hanging around on the right - any comment?

I think a lot of people would have voted reform as the best chance to keep the greens, who are dangerous, out.

That any reasonably intelligent woman or caring intelligent man would vote Green is beyond belief for me. I will never vote Green and all those who did should hang their heads in shame.

fairyring25 · 10/05/2026 07:41

@Endorewitch I read the Lib Dem Manifesto yesterday and there isn't a single policy in it.
It is all generic statements that anyone would agree with e.g. who doesn't believe that everyone should make the most of their potential and have the freedom to live their lives? Their economic policy is "enabling people and businesses to thrive"-Who doesn't believe this? It absolute pap.
I am not a Reform voter but at least Reform has some actual policies e.g. cutting tax on workers.
@MsJinks I think that you are wrong about the far left-Unfortunately, many are/are becoming anti-semitic and it seems to be related to pro-Palestine marches. We absolutely need more integration but the far left are not supporting integration.

I am seeing the reasons, reason really for some (not all), people may vote Reform in a GE - is this solely why they won in councils? It’s a shame really it has to be so as I used to vote locally less on political lines and more on the individual- saying that I drew the line at extreme parties - and yes I would have included Reform in that.

Just to throw in, I may have done before, and have elsewhere. I do live bang opposite one of these hotels and I recognise nothing of what is said here. I see more potential hassle with the white drug dealers/users also close by in the summer particularly. Though if I don’t bother them they’re surely not bothering me - maybe folk could try this approach.

I think integration could be better - but that is also heavily on us cutting funding for such as ESOL and threatening to burn folk alive really imo.

I realised lately that actually I feel more in danger in 2 heavily right wing areas in my city than any other. I don’t even like driving through them tbh and I’m pretty fine (lax lol) with my personal safety. It’s the anger that vibrates and makes me nervous - bit early to tell but not sure it’s going to improve as they got a Reform councillor in their ward - tbh they’re still angry winning.

I also went on the last Tommy March (as the counter protest side) - disappointed to be so heavily outnumbered for sure, but not wishing to stamp all over anyone - the biggest side were scarily angry instead of just happy about their numbers. I genuinely fear this level of anger and think Reform just pumps its up.

How do they mange to work on cars and cost jobs if they don't know basic mechanics and how to do sums ?

RedTagAlan · 10/05/2026 01:15

PhilMitchell82 · 09/05/2026 19:27

Mr Mathematician who thinks he is very clever and superior to us all and all your pearl clutching mates.

Obviously, I haven’t done a cost plan because I just work down the Arches fixing motors.

If you remove the incentives, then they stop coming here. It is really very simple. No incentives, no free accommodation, healthcare, dentist, spending money, no soft touch Britain. The idea was very tongue in cheek and you fell you it hook line and sinker LMAO.

They need getting rid off and the incentives need removing. If they have no incentives or are just punished for coming here then they ain’t going to be paying THOUSANDS of pounds to people smuggling gangs and passing through MANY MANY safe countries to get here. That why I don’t buy their refugee crap. They even have the legal aid lawyers who YOU and everyone else is paying for to help them submit fraudulent claims to get Asylum. For example, pretending to be gay or an apostate. As you know or may not know being gay or an apostate in an Islamic country is a sin and is punishable over there. This is what your are importing or want to import. They don’t share any values with the great British non-pearl clutching public. FACT.

Nah. No high level maths there re energy from your bike power station. Basic mechanics/ physics. Secondary school level. The sort of stuff a car mechanic would know. Did you not do stuff like this in your city and guilds/ONC ? I did.

But thanks for admitting you are intentionally baiting in order to provoke accusations of daft ideas. You are the second person to admit to that on this thread.

That is the reform game plan after all. Don't talk policy, deflect the conversation to accusations and insults. Post way out daft stuff that people point out is way out and daft, so you can come back claiming they are calling you daft.

Bunny65 · 10/05/2026 00:42

Reform play to people's worst fears and instincts. I have lived in London all my life. I don't live in the best area. I walk home late at night and nothing bad happens to me, most violence is drug-gang related or domestic. Immigration needs to be controlled but bigotry should not be encouraged. Labour has made mistakes I know but some things are beyond their control. AI has taken away a lot of entry-level graduate jobs. The economy was starting to improve before Trump started his stupid war. We have also been subject to his tariff war. I live in an area with a large Afro-Caribbean population. Many of them work in social care, social services and hospitals. When my son had an asthma attack many years ago the young Muslim doctor - in a hijab (shock horror) - gave us the best advice of any doctor we had previously seen in the hospital. It is actually very expensive to become a British citizen as you have to pay thousands in fees so many don't bother with that route as they can't afford it. It is disgusting that Reform (and Labour) want to make people keep paying thousands when they have Indefinite Leave to Remain status and are making valuable contributions to society - and paying taxes.

I agree. Reform voters are fixated on immigration, but what they really mean is that Britain should be a white country. They often talk about "indigenous" people being pushed out and say that it was better in the UK before WW2, but they don't seem to understand that Britain had an empire that included India, much of Caribbean, much of Africa, etc. (I'll leave out the Romans, Norman, Huguenots, et al) and that people living in those subject nations had the right to come here. Many of those hated brown and black people also fought for the allies in WW2. Many people came in the 1950s and 1960s were recruited to do jobs that the "indigenous" people didn't want to do, and they were treated with hostility.

The hostility we see today is not just towards asylum seekers, but is often directed at public sector workers, including doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff, GPs, and teachers, who are leaving in droves, and then they complain about waiting lists and delays in A&E, and blame that on the Labour government. It's frankly batshit crazy, and I am ashamed to be British these days, something I never thought that I'd feel until Brexit happened.

Yes UK has long relied on immigration rightly or wrongly (as ultimately bringing in more people rather than increasing productivity per capita is a ponzi scheme which fails when the system cant take anymore) but the numbers in the 50s and 60s were not comparable- I can't get numbers before 1964 but 1964 to 1978 net migration was negative. It only got above 100k in 1998. Compare that to 2023 when it was nearly a million. Also we were better at integrating people and getting different cultures to adopt 'British' secular values. That has gone and resulted in our current multi-cultural but divided society. I think Reform will be just as corrupt as conservatives, but at least they're talking about the right issues.

Extreme snobbery on here. So you don’t know what policies they voted for but you’re still going to demonise them.

What exactly have Labour done which shows that they have a clue?

Endorewitch · 09/05/2026 23:38

Itchthescratch · 08/05/2026 14:52

I would respond to your points that:

A) the majority of the British population has been against high levels of immigration since polling on the issue started. Whether they mean refugees or economic migrants, ultimately studies have consistently shown that certain groups are disproportionately impacted by the disadvantages of immigration whilst other groups have disproportionately from large scale immigration. We supposedly live in a democracy. Why is it wrong for people to want a party that seem more dedicated towards bringing immigration down? Will their policies be completely workable? Probably not, but neither have Labour or Tory policies been on this issue.

B) Labour had an astonishing lack of coherent policies in the last election. Other than putting VAT on school fees, everything else was unclear and has often been seriously diluted. They have of course managed to implement ideological policies they said they wouldn't though like lifting the two child benefit cap. Implementing change is difficult, look at Labour and the Assisted Dying Bill. It won't be easy for Reform either but people obviously prefer their direction of travel.

C) Labour's policies have never stacked up financially either. Why doesn't this bother you? Do you think raising taxes on businesses has been good for the economy or anyone? All Labour know how to do is tax and spend and people have had enough. The irony that you accuse Reform of so much that Labour have already proven they are guilty of too.

Two Polital Parties having crap policies doesnt make one better than the other. Reform are a Racist party with no other policies as far as I can make out. Their leader is devious and supports Trump. Labour actually bad policies but I dont agree with them.
We are in a difficult situation. Maybe give the Lib Dems a chance. They actualky have a maninfesto

Actually Labour had a very clear claim on their manifesto-that they wouldn’t put up taxes, surely you’ve seen that clip with Riski where he says that without doubt Labour will put up taxes and is says they won’t.

hmm. Didn’t quite go as planned, did it?

Probably be rolling out a double decker bus with "we can save 350 million/week" in a couple of weeks time that people will believe and won't look any further down the road.
