Page 16 | What I would like to ask Reform supporters what are the specific Reform policies they support?

CurlewKate · 2026-05-08T11:23:30+00:00

Just that really. I am a Labour voter, and I know what Labour policies I support. I think I know what Conservative and Lib Dem policies their supporters like. I don't know about Reform.

Thanks.

They are the only patriotic party , they love their country and want their own British people to be looked after first before any other nationality. Charity starts at home. This is common sense , I don't understand why this is seen as a radical take. They will actually do something about the boats and they will also leave the ECHR which plays a big part in stopping deportations.

They basically will fight back against the place being colonised by Islam.
And also Zia Yusuf is Muslim and his parents were immigrants and even he can see the state the country has become and is against mass immigration.

I don’t think people realise that this could happen in the future and how valuable our religious freedoms are in the UK, I feel really sorry for my Dgc

the recent attacks on the Jewish people has been awful

I think a lot of people would have voted reform as the best chance to keep the greens, who are dangerous, out.

@cricketnut77
Agreed scrapping net zero is necessary. We are currently, importing gas and oil from abroad, which isn't good for the environment either! It is just crazy.
I agree with supporting manufacturing with cheaper energy, which is important. Otherwise we will have no manufacturing sector left in the UK.
Another policy I like from reform is cutting business taxes. NI is way too high at the moment and bad for business. It is also leading to an increase in unemployment.
I agree with reducing foreign aid and prioritising British strategic interests. If there is only so much money in the pot, we need to focus on improving our defence and strategic interests.
I agree with slimming down the civil service. The number of people working in the civil service now is the highest in 20 years.
@MyRareScroller And I wish left wing voters could add up. They seem to have no understanding of the economy or how businesses make profits or go out of business under Labour. Do they understand that the interest we are paying on our budget deficit is about the size of the entire education budget but they still want to give more benefits? Do they understand that when you increase NI that businesses can no longer afford to employ people? Do they understand that businesses do not want to employ inexperienced young people at £12.71 an hour-a 46% increase since 2020?

In other words, you're the sainted one. We get the picture. Every right winger is angry and all the lefties aren't. Maybe check out the loon who whacked a woman with a sledgehammer. Lovely lefties eh?
There's a park at the end of my road where the junkies wait for their dealers who tend to be black or brown. Someone upthread even said something patronising about a doctor in a niqab as though some of us would find this shocking. Women in niqabs walk past my house every day. So what? Someone else was aghast at black and brown people being called black or brown even though they refer to a white person as a white. "That's where the whites live" type of comment. The division will never heal if this patronising doesn't stop.

The £5m is telling us more about Reform U.K. than the local elections did.

People were aware of the £5 million before the local elections.

I know - but we’ve still not got an answer so the question should keep being asked. Not sure really what point you’re making here.

Anyone who votes Labour or Green is absolutely clueless. Green leader has made many antisemitism comments. Labour have emboldened the hatred for Jews by recognising Palestine and appealing to the Muslim vote. Unfortunately, for people like you until your daughter or grandaughter gets SA by one of these immigrants illegals then you will never see the light. If you love them so much offer to host them, live with them then you find out sharpish about them. You only need to see the countless stories about them.

You can take a horse to water and show it sense but unfortunately it won’t drink it.

And they’re on here too. A guy told me at a counter protest (he was protesting) that he hoped my kids get raped - weird obsession with overpowering and raping women.

Therefore, I’m not gonna encourage your disturbing obsession with SA apart from to say all the SA I have unfortunately come across were white British males and it was with mainly their own families.

I don’t need to search it up - as anyway I would rather do anything else than crowdfund this enquiry for the victims to be used (effectively abused) on the alter of Lowe’s abhorrent ideologies. As I said I am happy there is an official enquiry.

I don’t actually go on specifically Palestine marches no - as I don’t feel I know enough about the whole background to shout a view. I do counter protest the animals shouting abuse outside hotels yes - just so everyone having to hide in there knows that at least some of us in the U.K. do not want to burn them alive. I will March against fascists too until the day I die as I fear for my grandkids’ and their peers’ future.

However, today I am glad that you and I can have opinions and protest for our own beliefs - your party will work on removing that right - harder and faster than labour are!

Btw - you’re still not answering my question as to why the protestors/Tommy associates do have a disproportionately high amount of DA/SA records?

Reform are proposing a Free Speech Bill which will potentially counter the left-wing bias. It won't be perfect but when you look at recent news - a Cambridge university student threatened with death by fellow students for visiting Israel in a think tank organised visit meeting both sides of conflict and the college refused to remove the perpetrator / the FSU recently won a case against the Police Federation of England which suspended two chairs because one of them 'told GB news that frontline policing is increasingly shaped by fear of accusations of racism' and the other questioned whether the police are as racist as critics claim / the recent persecution of gender-critical nurses and the Sandie Peggie case - persecuted for voicing their valid concerns about sharing single-sex spaces with biological men - anything which counters the attempts of the left to silence debate and open discussion is a good thing. The next worrying thing will be the 'anti-muslim hostility' definition which the FSU is fighting against - which could bring in blasphemy laws via the back door.

How are they going to fund that? We've got the highest taxes on working people since 1948 so it can't be more taxes on working population. We'd all love great social care and good schools etc but we're already massively in deficit. We need to invest in productivity growth before anything else which is now very difficult in a high interest environment.

Lucy Connolly learned the hard way, that freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of consequence.

You cannot suggest burning people alive without consequences.

For sake of accuracy the exact words from Lucy Connolly were: "set fire to all the... hotels [housing asylum seekers]... for all I care".

This statement does not suggest the burning of people alive. Merely an indifference to the burning of hotels used by asylum seekers.

yes I'm not saying it wasn't an awful thing to say - but people are saying awful things now on social media praising Hitler and saying he should have finished the job - praising the recent attacks on Jewish people etc - literally all the time now. Has anyone been arrested for those posts? Ricky Jones's calling for people's throats to be slit wasn't worthy of a sentence? Lucy was remanded in custody for some reason (despite not being a public threat) so was advised she could spend longer in prison waiting for a trial than if she pleaded guilty. Ricky was released on bail and got a trial by jury. Funny how one was a labour councillor and one the wife of a former Tory councillor. One faced extremely harsh consequences for a post which was shortly removed - the other got off scot-free for inciting violence in a public forum. Freedom of speech and consequence for that speech cannot only be applied to one group in a society, which it currently is.

The fact is, she plead and was found guilty of a crime. She went to prison for that crime.

No I quite agree. Rules are rules and should apply to everyone.

I was on here being accused of defending Charlie Kirk after his death, despite not agreeing with a single word the man ever said, because I publicly said that I don’t agree with the consequence for free speech of any kind being murder.

That however doesn’t absolve LC of her responsibility for her own actions, which she appears to still think were perfectly reasonable.
