I couldn’t sleep last night, worrying about a Reform government

1000 replies

Cluborange666 · 01/08/2025 09:15

I am really worried. I think they’ll wreck the economy. I’ve got a few years left to pay off my mortgage from my job that deals with immigrants. I don’t want our pensions to tank. I don’t want my sons’ lives to be messed around. I worry about more racism, the more ‘voice’ that Reform get. I live in a very multicultural city and non-white people tell me that they are experiencing more overt racism. It makes me feel very insecure about the future.

wish Labour would do more to show that they are on the side of ordinary people as I think that’s what is driving this (I’m a Labour voter). I don’t think the creation of Your Party will help, just give Reform more advantages.

Sigh. Happy to be told I’m unreasonable as I think the future looks bleak.

Sadly I have lowered myself to the depths of others on this thread i.e. the big Reform Hustlers amongst us

No that’s just more of the same isn’t it. Are you a hustler?

ThePhantomoftheEcobubbleOpera · 02/08/2025 15:26

Who are the big Reform Hustlers?

I still don't know what you are on about, you are too sparse with your posts, use a few more words EasternStandard.

Problem with comprehension perhaps?

Jesus you really do have a superiority complex don't you?

Your post applied to you, the one I quoted.

RH1234 · 02/08/2025 15:27

With Labours track record I wouldn’t worry, we’re all screwed anyway.

It’s nothing to do with my comprehension. If my daughter (15) wrote this in a school essay it would get a red underlining.

Oh my goodness, I am deeply wounded by your comments, what are you trying to say about me, that I am thick and it's because I'm a Liberal, I am a thick Liberal. So insulting.

Tbf, that original post was incomprehensible.

No I am using your words and replacing the name of the recipient.
You are bigoted, and not about Reform voters. You just can't/won't see it.

Well I think you shouldn't do that as you are being insulting when you are making such a ridiculous comparison.

Goldenbear · 02/08/2025 15:31

Again, so?

It’s all Farage talks about

Yes, it mainly is. But you were replying to that poster, not Farage.

PandoraSocks · 02/08/2025 15:32

Maybe just leave 'em to it @goldenbear Everything you post will be piled on.

Goldenbear · 02/08/2025 15:33

twistyizzy · 02/08/2025 15:17

By that though you only mean that people have to vote the way you want them to! 🙄

No, there is no hidden meaning - Reform are the pits, the Populist pits.

So if you post incomprehensible posts people can’t understand them. That’s all.

Because they have dug themselves into a deep hole. It's not a pile on, it's holding them to account for their words.

You call Labour supporters rabid. Is that okay?

Oh, radio silence as a result of the last post, there's a surprise

Tbf I don’t think Labour on mn have done themselves favours. Anyone not Labour would get bot / HQ / paid accusations or mockery and sneering.

Yes and anyone can deem their posts irrelevant.
