Seeing that Repulsive Nigel Farage everywhere now

[stonejam]

I don’t like any of them. I’m politically hornless but seeing this turd getting more and more popular would actually make me leave the country.

Which policies make sense?

As honest as the one Labour one with, then.

Like he is any worse than any other politician

Reform isn’t just Farage any longer though. Anyone who thinks they won’t win seats is living on another planet

The other parties are giving them an open goal tbh

How do his far right policies sit with the Britishness of fighting the far right in 1939- 1945? How can anyone be so stupid as to not recognise propaganda?

Percent of non causation people in the UK- 18%
Prevent of Muslim people in the UK - 6%

But hey, yeah, it's totally their fault that we're losing our identity. FFS.

Might be because he and Badenoch are squabbling over Reform membership numbers?

People are daft for joining Reform. It is just a donation with nowt in return.

Reform he a manifesto just the same as the other parties.
What part of his contract would you deem undeliverable spending?

They might win a few more seats in 2029, but they won't be the second biggest party in Westminster.

People on this thread who either can't see that Farage is a fascist, actively don't care, or actively welcome fascism.

That's where we are now.

Frightened for my children's future. 😟

The trouble is the vote of the useful idiot, the pub bore, the weirdo and the boorish gobshite carries just as much weight as the critical thinkers. You don't need to justify your vote at the ballot box. The established political parties need to find a way to stop the appeal of Farage.

I saw him fox hunting on Boxing Day which didn’t really give that ‘man of the people’ vibe, more ‘toff’ that he actually is.

Raising the tax thresholds to £20k and £70k with no concrete explanation of how that will be paid for is a good place to start.

He's a far right piece of crap. His followers are either racist or thick, or some combination of both.

He is a fascist, and I don't know how people can't see it. Terrifying.

He won’t ever become PM he will have to work too hard and will be off sticking his head further up Trumps arse one he is president

he is (unfortunately a very good one) campaign politician who has always been given far too much air time

switch off from watching him, I do rather than entertaining this weasel, he is like a pantomime villain people love to hate him and this so what he thrives off

@Ringpeace that's an extremely dangerous attitude to take and exactly what helped Trump win.

Example from the IFS

Take Reform. They propose £90 billion of specific tax cuts and £50 billion of spending increases, "paid for" by a £150 billion package of measures that includes substantial, unspecified cuts in welfare and government waste. If they want a smaller s tate – a perfectly reasonable ambition – they should tell us how they will achieve it. We saw the consequences of massive tax cuts with no detail on how they would be paid for in September 2022.

In any case, the claim that they could eliminate NHS waiting lists at a cost of £17 billion a year is demonstrably wrong, while the vast tax cuts would cost even more than stated, by a margin of tens of billions of pounds per year.

@noblegiraffe if you knew anything about hunting you'd know most involved are not toffs. The support for hunting in rural communities is massive.

Curious whether the people who love him still think the Brexit he dumped on us all with is going well?

And how has Brexit worked out for the rural communities?

Mr Brexit Farage was banned from talking during the farmers protests

Farage wasn't the one in power after it was done, it wasn't him who messed it up.

The rise in people idolizing these fascinating politicians is worrying.

I think you’re probably attempting to ask that of people who are objective. I don’t think Farage supporters are by and large.

as an aside, I’m kind of morbidly curious to find out how much it will cost musk to buy UK politics.

Which British culture and values would that be?

And what do you suppose his views on the environment are?

He was very quick to take the credit in the EU parliament though wasn’t he? Just before he sailed off with his EU pension.
