@Notonthestairs I got as far as same as VAT ans nearly swore.

Badenoch is for off base on this one it's unreal. She can fuck right off with her friends reform who want to build concentration camps.

Notonthestairs · 16/06/2026 14:44

From a Godwin's law perspective alone surely she'd realise how ridiculous she sounds.

But life is hard when you aren't getting the attention you want.
Better to slap down some utter drivel and hope the base is willing to ignore it's education to lap it up.

More from Badenoch

The Great Dartmoor Pony Cull Conspiracy of 2026 is such horseshit.

Nobody is proposing a cull, FFS!

Currently being whipped up on Musk's hellsite by the Leader of the Opposition, who clearly has nothing better to do.

And today, Badenoch chooses to refer Philipson as a Gestapo officer

Good on Philipson for calling her out for her crass remark.

She speaks so much sense

Where are they going to build the concentration camps? The Cotswolds?

They did say that they would put such camps in constituencies which voted Green. (Obviously they didn’t call them concentration camps.)

The Cotswolds don't vote Reform, there's a bit in Warwickshire but Oxfordshire is okay?

We did that when I was a child growing up in Northern Ireland. Loved it.

It should be a tradition in every country. Especially during the long summer evenings.

MsJinks · 16/06/2026 17:09

Is this going to be Green councils, or Green MPs, where the camps are based though? I guess it’s probable there’ll be a big crossover though - but could occasionally cause a difficulty of yay or nay. Not that they’ll be doing this - hopefully never get the chance to either.

Did anyone report them for getting votes by threats?

Re fly tipping - it’s abhorrent- it surprises me to see so much on some open/country roads when I know for a fact there’s actually a local tip that was more than likely nearer. I think we all need to tidy the U.K. up - I dropped a bus ticket on the floor as a child once, and an elderly man stopped me and made me pick it up - rightly and I was just scared he may know my parents/school - I can’t imagine telling a kid to do that nowadays. The amount of McDonald’s and cans in my local river is also appalling.

I thought maybe these protesters who want a nicer U.K. could get litter picking and river/canal clearing as a better hobby than shouting abuse in the street - maybe not.

I see no evidence from words or deeds that they do, though. As far as I (and AI) can discern their big idea is to make some peoples lives "nicer" by making a lot of other peoples lives worse. I mean that's hardly original, and if you think it is then maybe you should finish year 2 before coming on Mumsnet - give the tablet back to Mum.

The problem with the dumps is they charge a lot and often have weird opening hours. And not everyone has a car. So some people look for alternatives - not necessarily fly tipping but hiring seemingly legitimate companies who then flytip.
There's also a much more organised criminal element where licensed companies will take payment for removing rubbish from companies etc. This will often include a legitimate looking receipt for dumping charges. By not actually paying the tipping fees (because they flytip it) they make a lot of money

I agree with you about responsibility but part of the problem is that there is just so much more disposable plastic around these days. There's a lot more to drop then there used to be. As long as the main ingredient in plastic is produced in vast quantities by the oil industries as a side product we will continue to have vast amounts of single use plastic to deal with. The best case scenario is it's burnt or buried. But some of it will always end up on the ground/in rivers because you only need a few people not caring about their rubbish for it to make a big difference because we all have so much rubbish associated with us than before.

Lol - you are right - but it’s often a thought of mine when I’m countering that actually we could all make life a bit better/nicer if there was less rioting or shouting at hotels and more litter picking, doing care in the community charitable support.

They are often so angry, and I think they’re angry at how their lives are - and I believe there are other options for them to improve their own lives, and that of their communities.

I appreciate the naivety of this.

Reform's Lee Anderson has now deleted his post mocking those who made clear the Savile banner was real. He claimed it was AI.

But his own post of an "undoctored" version (deleting mention of Savile) had the Reform logo written in cyrillic...

Don't imagine we'll be getting an apology, but still.
