We've had sparkle, and look how that turned out.
KS's sound bite is Far-Right but he hasn't connected how these disaffected men feel in modern Britain. Not saying it's right, but they don't feel that the Tories or Labour speak for them. Certain actors who have fled to Spain etc turn up online and say, we know how you feel, and you need to blame minorities because they are the root of all your problems, they come here and get a free house and free money and there you are, struggling to house, clothe and feed yourselves and your families...is it any wonder Reform did well in the last election? They came second, a lot, and now have four seats. Not bad for a new party.
The current riots are a legacy of Tory rule, because they didn't give a fuck about these towns, they closed the services that people needed during some of the toughest times recently, they buggered up the NHS and shot the economy. But NF, TR and all those sorts say, you can't get an appointment at the GP because of immigration. No, it's because the Tories ignored the NHS, and ignored industrial relations, and ran it down.
So yes, these populist, racist spokespersons are whipping up hatred and preying on the white population to divert their ire from what is really going on, to hating minority groups. And they are bloody good at it. Stockport was the match.
Add to that the internet misinformation and it's a disaster.
Apart from the PMs lack of understanding of the fundamental issues and reducing it down to two words, I think he's trying the best he can under the circumstances but he doesn't have a magic wand and all this clears up. This will take time. And if things calm down, great, but will the root cause of these ideas die? I doubt it very much.
