To ask when Reform supporters will

[PandoraSocks]

finally see the light about Farage? As the article says, if he will do this for £98 without thinking or a few seconds of research, what else is he capable of? The man is, IMHO, amoral, greedy and surprisingly stupid.

Tw: this mentions the hideous crimes of Watkins.

How is talking about a woman with Nigerian parents who gave birth to her here, who then grew up in Nigeria, before moving her as a student, and under the ethnic definitions in use in the census and in every single public sector ethnicity monitoring, will be classed as black African or black British, racist?
Kemi will have literally ticked that box herself wouldn't she?

Do you find him as revolting as Weird Harmer?

I wholeheartedly agree with you.

People are looking for someone who convinces them they will make their lives better, they will have more money, they will end the immigration issues etc.

We will sleep walk into a reform government if the current government don’t shape up and if all of us don’t listen and try to understand reform supporters and why they feel the way they do.

I voted labour for the first time. Currently I am not a supporter of any party. If there was an election next month I’d vote tactically to stop a reform government none of them fill me with hope.

Those of us in the middle are getting poorer under this current administration,

Oh no, they are not as intelligent and well-read as the likes of us ....
Can you not see it is exactly this superior attitude that is turning people away from other parties and their supporters?
Why would anyone want to know more if they think they are going to be scorned and humiliated?
(Not a Reform voter btw, although why I feel I need to point that out I don't know)

And another. Always a winner to convince people you are right

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

And a third.
When the Reform party goes tits up or if they get into power (which I sincerely hope they don't) and the country goes tits up, it still won't be "Nige"'s fault.
So the same thing as Labour supporters tying themselves in knots justifying their party's latest antics then?

Is this a parody? Do you honestly think that! Goodness me 😂..

Thing is, if this were the leader of any other party, they would have been immediately removed - the party members would also be baying for a leadership change.
Worrying that Reform plays by different rules in that Farage can do exactly what he wants - upto and including walking down Clacton High Street and shooting someone I presume.
I mean at least that is unlikely as he barely knows where Clacton is.
However, I do find this approach to him very concerning, considering where the US is now heading with Trump.

I’m not even a reform supporter. But it’s the same story always from those who think they know better than everyone else.

Explain?

What an idiot

This.

You and others escalated to insults and censorship, demanding deletions and account bans for raising a politicians ethnicity?

You now want to stop what you started?

You are exactly why reform is succeeding.

I’ve worked for places that do ‘due diligence’ before accepting donations and/or supporting requests for things as it may later cast a dubious shadow back on them.
I’m surprised Farage’s team do not do this basic check - it is worrying who he may be ‘tricked’ into supporting when in power.

Why not discuss something other than her ethnicity which has nothing to do with her ability to lead a party or the country. I’m not a fan, but it’s nothing to do with her colour (we’re both black so it would be odd if it was).

I will vote for the party that is most likely to deport illegal immigrants and massively reduce legal migration. That is Reform.

Over the last three or four hours the story has been picked up more widely, which is good.

Do you actually think reform supporters don’t read anything other than the Mail or such like?

Well that explains it then. Not.

Does the fact that Farage was so easily duped for the sake of £98 worry you?

Fair enough. Can I ask why you don’t favour legal migration? Over the years we’ve massively benefitted from overseas workers, especially in the NHS.

Umm - check out the rapidly falling net migration figures and tightening of visas - I happen not to be a fan of Labour immigration policy, but it is working on stuff you appear to agree with.
See this video would make me stop and think whether good ole Nige would be able to plan and carry through the stopping of illegal migration. It makes him look hard of thinking and lacking in the detailed prep required - as well as doing owt for a quid.
Doesn’t really change my view as I already know he can either do little or change the face of the U.K. so radically even the majority of those voting him in will object.
