If you support Farage, would you be able to explain why please.

[lightseeker]

I know there have probably been other threads asking this, but really .... why?

Why would you say he is a "man of the people?"'(Public school educated stockbroker / multi millionaire)

Genuinely, what appeals about him?

If you voted Brexit, have you forgotten that he resigned from public office that day after his Leave campaign won?

It's an anonymous forum, so please be honest.

I said diversity as a strength is a basic biological fact. Look it up if you don't believe me. Not sure what the racist ranting is for. Very unedifying.

Calm down. What happened to you that you're so scared?

I entirely disagree that the last 29 years have been beige. Austerity and Brexit have been seismic, and led us to the point where racists can openly post on parenting websites that not wanting Pakistani people in the UK is an acceptable viewpoint. In other words, on the brink of fascism.

Do explain how having majority black and Asian towns like Birmingham has biologically strengthened "us".
Is it this percentage of people that has strengthened "us"? Are we all strengthened biologically because of those people? How does that work biologically? Osmosis? I will become stronger because there's a Somalian in the town? It all just gets stupider."

Oh dear.

Straight from the fascist playbook. Your copy must be well-thumbed.

Out of interest, the proportion of the Clacton electorate who didn't vote for Mr Farage in 2024 was c 75%. Some cause for hope there.

People are so fixated on imigration that they’ve lost sight of everything else.

I assume that nobody on this thread who has imigration at the heart of their thinking is anything other than a white male?

No women of childbearing age I assume?

No disabilities in the family?

Everyone is straight?

Because if you are any of those things I assume you’re happy to be voting for the scrapping of the equality act?

Forget maternity leave? Flexible working? Forget access to work if you’re a disabled person.

Only straight white men will benefit from the scrapping of the equality act, and here we have people wanting to vote for this policy in their droves. Just as long as those immigrants are got rid of.

Why are you assuming that people who are not well educated are 'stupid?'

What an ignorant, narrow-minded remark.

Thanks for proving what centric and right-leaning people are saying about the left. Just can't stop yourselves from mocking and deriding people who think differently to you can you?

A lot of people think that the Labour and Tory have had a good go, but in the last few years have ballsed up so much. Illegal immigration and asylum is a big problem, it has brought with it so many issues and costs the country a lot of money it can ill afford. Same across Europe. It is dividing the nation, there is two tier justice going on, people play the equality card as their get out of jail free card, and authorities like the police/social services are all complicit. We are being mugged off, and if you say anything, you are called racist. That is why you get the thugs like Tommy Robinson - they are extremes, but that seems the only way to get anyone to take notice. So, do I think Reform will be any better, no not really. However the definitions of an idiot isn’t in this case a Reform voter but someone who continues to vote Labour or Tory and expecting a different result. For a lot of people Reform is a protest vote, a last ditch saloon. I would say most of Reform’s voters will be reluctant but have no place else to place their vote.

Somebody from Thailand coming to work and live here is an immigrant.Billionaire Harborne has moved to Thailand (hardly essential in his business) and that's ok because he's an expat. He has no wish to live in the Uk but still feels the urge to meddle in our politics. What exactly does he think he's getting for his £5mill.

Now how do you know my political leanings? It's almost as though you're presuming things because otherwise your facile point would collapse faster than a house of cards in a hurricane.

Expand your thinking! Consider possibilities.

If your head isn't spinning with immigration hyperbole, then I'm afraid you are now to be deemed 'the left' @ClarkeandNewman You absolutely must be. You are also clearly one of "The Establishment" as well. Please switch to GB News and toe the line.

I have a bin on my head as we speak!

And you say you are not a reform voter? Hmm. I don’t know why people just don’t try to be honest.

Restore maybe?

Maybe. I think she was one of the ones saying she doesn’t support Farage, but then posted as if she does. And she got so excited by that pro-Farage poster’s list that I was surprised she wasn’t one of his supporters.

I can’t support Farage as I am the daughter of the kind of immigrant people hate. Brown Muslims. Incidentally, my parents were paid by the British government in the sixties to come over here to fill in gaps in the NHS. Though the promises did not materialise and they were not given the jobs they were promised, and experienced racism, but whatever. They worked tirelessly until they retired, but are now seen as a problem by many on the right.

Anyway, I did watch Farage on TV once being asked a question and he did seem to answer it openly and honestly. It did feel quite refreshing as he did not answer like a typical politician. So I can see why he might appeal to some. Not me though.

There you go, the grandiose sweeping stupidity.

I thought only stupid people called people stupid. Oh wait...

I’m not scared. I’m angry.

What exactly are you angry about?

Your entire thread is you telling us what you have decided people think and how that's stupid.

You actually believe your own stupid stuff, I'm not making it up about you.

Sorry to quote myself, but also meant to say, this is why people are voting Reform.

Not me; I’m waiting for the proper parties to wake up and smell the Colombian coffee.
