Page 8 | What I would like to ask Reform supporters what are the specific Reform policies they support?

CurlewKate · 2026-05-08T11:23:30+00:00

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.

They went to war once …

Longstanding posters know how old I am, I’ve never made a secret of it.

Show quote history

A failing junta went to war because they thought it would bolster popularity, they lost both. Argentina seems politically stable at the moment, perhaps you know different. Would they risk the lives of their young men?

We're whoever we say we are on the internet. You honestly think Argentina will go to war for the Falklands or object to a few Brits, they'll find a home in Patagonia if they're Welsh. As I said, they've accommodated far worse people than those you object to.

I'm sure your arguments will be warmly welcomed in the Falklands, let them take a vote. (Though I have some doubts about your commitment to democracy)

I have no doubts at all about their democratic leanings. Its their way or the highway. It's pure snobbery.

Yes. They are settlers and it's not their Island. They would probably be able to stay there if Argentina offered to naturalise them anyway, it wouldn't make any difference to their day to day lives I'm sure.

As long as they pass the medical knowledge and language requirements (some countries are ahead of the UK in medical practice). But you seriously don't think the majority of people smuggled into the country have these qualifications. I do know doctors who have sought asylum in the UK from warring states, they already had sponsors here.

You fool. All these ' qualified doctors ' coming over on small boats eh ? Listen to yourself. Do you actually believe that this is what is going on in the UK ? They're not ' fleeing war or oppression '. Most of them are chancers,just waiting to enter the black economy ( at best ) or burgeoning criminal networks. My own town is now swamped with Bulgarian and Romanian gypsies. These people are heartily despised in their countries of origin,with their filth and thieving, and are now breeding like rabbits to take advantage of our welfare system. Any government that deports the lot of them , or promises to, will win the popular vote by a landslide in my town.

I think a migrant qualified doctor is adding way more value than a white British chav who is choosing not to work and then blaming "all the immigrants" for taking our jobs 🙄

Can you read? If you go to the reform website and read their policies, they have nothing against immigrants coming here for qualified work such as doctors, they dont want people here for minimum wage jobs i.e. Someone from Zimbabwe to be a care worker and then beat a man to death. R.I.P Luke.
At the stay time you could argue it is making it harder for our young doctors to get places because they would rather hire a doctor from India with much more experience for less.

You are happy to throw around the word Chav... which speaks volumes.
