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

I’m letting in lots of unvetted men?

I don’t think I am sir, I work in education recruitment, I’m not the Home Office. Think you must be confused.

I don’t know what “our” values are, because I certainly don’t think we share any, based on your word salad so far.

What a load of waffle 😂

I guess in your world that free healthcare, free dentist, free accommodation, free spending money are not benefit. Also you seem happy to have your children or family member hounded by the illegals. Some people need to house them or live next door to them and only then will they see the light.

Your letting in lots of unvetted mostly fighting age males with no documentation. Foreign culture. Don’t share our values. Then you people start crying when your daughters, wives, family members get hounded and start wondering why but can’t figure it out. They unfortunately are brought up in a culture where they see women as subservient to men especially non muslim women and will always see you as practise or easy because that what they been taught. In their culture, women dress modestly.

Why do you think gays are so many in Pakistan or Afghanistan ? They ain’t allowed to look at women so they have to look at men instead to get their thing.

Why do you think bacha bacha abuse of little boys happens in Afghanistan because they like little boys over there. Why do you think the legal age of marriage in Iraq is 9 ? That is same age as when Mohammed consummated with Aisha so is fine for them to marry a nine year old. It isn’t hard to realise letting in lots of unvetted and undocumented people we know nothing about isn’t good for the country.

Reform aren’t perfect by any means but the best we got and have the toughest stance on immigration.

Why bother engaging with @PhilMitchell82

Ignore or ridicule

Everyone wouldn’t be deported that is absolutely absurd your suggestion.

That, Phillip, is not what I asked.

I think it's time for you to sit down with a history book, mate.

Absolutely incorrect.

Ya do know, Phil, that Great Britain is built on a rich tapestry of multiculturalism / immigration so if all illegals were deported there would be no one left.
Every single word you have written makes me hope that Reform never, ever see the inside of number 10.

Well when they come here where do you think they stay ? Whose paying for their healthcare ? Whose paying for their dentist ? Whose paying for their spending money ? Whose paying for their accommodation ? Whose daughters, wives and mums are getting hounded ? Would you live next door to them ? What would you do if they hounded your daughter ? Still stick up for them ?

@PhilMitchell82

Can you just elaborate on “stop all benefits to illegals?”

Mainly because illegal immigrants can’t access benefits, and actually most visas say “no recourse to public funds” anyway. So also no benefits.

I would reply to the rest of the rubbish, but honestly there’s just too much of it.

Apt name

I can’t find the link anymore unfortunately, but it was something like Scotland produced 150% + of the electricity they actually use as a country via the wind and hydro they have but as it’s owned by the large companies it’s then sent back in to the grid and they essentially buy it back… I would have solar on my roof I’m not against it at all. But unfortunately I’m in an area where the plans are to cover the majority of our fields with solar and the fear is we will end up paying more in electricity anyway, lose all that is good about small village life and also have increased food costs. Reform are the only party to say they wouldn’t do this :(

If they find a way to have both that would be fab, I understand China has been trying to develop solar paint, hopefully something comes along that is workable for all.

@WildGarden

My point was that I am interested and would love to know if people want to explain

People don’t have to explain how or why they voted. This is just another anti Brexit/Farage thread in disguise.

Watch the BBC question time special last night which was meant to discuss the local elections, but almost immediately focussed on the gift of £5 million to Nigel Farage.

I was responding to @DreamyScroller who said "Very few people are interested in understanding why people may have chosen to vote Reform".

My point was that I am interested and would love to know if people want to explain. I'm always interested in what motivates people on lots of levels.

Law had nothing to do with it.

Living with your parents in your 20s is nothing to feel asked of @alexandrasm and you never need to lie about it!

Under the Dublin Agreement, more entered the UK than were returned. Also, the number were measured in the hundreds. Nowhere near the 100s of thousands that are experienced now.

No, of course we're not but we DID have better controls in place in this country before Brexit.

@Letmehaveabloodyusernameplease

Immigration has increased since Brexit as we have no controls in place since leaving the EU to send them elsewhere.

UK ranks fifth in terms of immigration. The list is:

1 Germany
2 France
3 Spain
4 Italy
5 UK.

As the numbers of people entering the EU via the Mediterranean Sea and Eastern Europe border increases, the greater the number of people will end up in Calais.

Is the UK responsible for the EU failure to control migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea and Eastern European border? No they are not.

We rarely did send them elsewhere though.

They’ve increased because the smuggling operations for small boat crossings have become an industry in itself. Less than 10 years ago there were hardly any crossings like this, illegal crossings were done via lorry. They could get less people in these Lorries and it was dangerous (with people dying en-route). It was easier for border control in France to catch them too.

I also think word has spread globally about how to cross to Europe / UK, how to claim asylum, what’s on offer etc due to the internet, social media and smartphones. 10+ years ago it was harder for people to be aware of this and get information about how to do it or find a smuggler etc.

Immigration has increased since Brexit as we have no controls in place since leaving the EU to send them elsewhere.
Who had a foothold in Brexit with lofty promises? Nigel Farage.
So basically, people have just voted for this bloke to sort out the problems he created in the first place. Loons.

Immigration benefits the rich more than anybody. It keeps wages down, house prices and rental up, while they (rich people) live in their affluent bubbles.

But you’re right in that it’s a double benefit to them as they can also distract the ‘little people’ by having them blame the immigrants themselves rather than the system.

@WildGarden

This is a great opportunity for "intelligent, educated, and well-informed people" to explain why they voted how they did today.

Where in law does it state people have to explain how and why they voted?

Define ‘British men’ and the time frame for the statistics you are referencing please.

Cryptocurrency? Who is funding Reform?
