Voting for Reform.the north/south

[Jollyjupiter]

As a proud Northerner i can say 80 per cent of my peer group will vote for Reform in May. Do you think it will be a North v South split?

Well you’re adding to her barriers then. I’m sure she has had a lot that’s similar.

Good on her for being so successful despite it.

And again, if you could refrain from insinuating that I'm a racist, particularly given you have no idea who I am bar being a stranger behind a screen, that would be great, ta.

Do you now. “Odd” is she. Righto.

All we can do is judge you by what you’ve said on here 🤷‍♀️. How do you define odd?

I'm adding to her barriers by.... Not voting for her?

You strike me as someone who makes up their mind and doesn't let any evidence stand in your way or change your fixed beliefs. So if you want to continue to suggest that I'm a racist, I will just have to hope that my posts, on the whole, would suggest otherwise.

Oh I'm sure you could lay your hands on a dictionary.

As said in pp don’t vote for her. It’s the ‘something odd’ line that I’m sure she has come up against, unfairly.

Of course I can @ForWittyTealOP. But none of those definitions describe Kemi B. So why are you all describing her as odd? I’ll draw my own conclusions as I can read your posts. Personally I think Kemi is great.

I don’t think she’s odd. I think she’s rude, abrasive and disrespectful, as well as having a completely closed mind. Added to which she’d have taken us to war two months ago.

Oh so it's not odd to deny structural racism exists. Sorry, I can't agree with you there.

If it makes you feel better, I think there's something odd about anyone who wants to be a top-ranking politician. Whoever they are.

Fair enough @Blossomtoes, at least you can back up your opinion with a lucid argument. I’ve had it with posters branding her “odd” when she isn’t and also when the sub-text is pretty offensive.

Which of these floats your boat?
The racists? The Holocaust deniers? The anti-vaxxers? The ones that tick all of the boxes?

Well yes, that too. But I can't imagine being a black woman who denies structural prejudice. I can think of other words than odd but they're all fairly synonymous.

Sure if it helps you to say that last line, it’s still not true, she’s a successful woman in a political world that is very much stacked against her. She’s great. Labour don’t like her as Starmer gets over heated in PMQs and shakes etc

He might be gone soon anyway.

And then she’ll be equally rude and abrasive to his successor. God help us if she ever had to represent us on the global stage.

Well she could hardly do worse than Starmer eh @Blossomtoes. That’s impossible.

Luckily that's incredibly unlikely!

Aah not everybody views her as “odd” like you do @ForWittyTealOP

Starmer is of course arrogant, dismissive and bullying in PMQs which many can see, hence dropping votes each week.

He hasn’t got many loyal supporters left.

PERFECTLY PUT !!!
I'm about to vote in rhe Scottish elections. It won't be for Reform!

Starmer is judged to have done very well internationally, far better than domestically. It’s a shame he’s not foreign secretary, it would suit his skills far better. I dread to think what the world would think of us with Badenoch sneering contemptuously at every other leader.

I am a British citizen and still have my vote. I will use it to vote against those who vote Reform and almost certainly voted Brexit.

I was lucky enough to leave before the racist vote trapped me in the UK.

But I go out of my way to still use my vote in the UK. I will continue to vote for as long as I can, particularly given the UK's youth lost their EU citizenship to a certain electorate.

When I started teaching in 1994 I had a class of 36 with no TA....

Truss managed to.

Badenoch will never be PM. Labour is not the only party facing a bloodbath on May 7.

Someone has to be PM. I don’t get this certainty over KB.

Who are you more certain will be?
