Why do interviewers just let these lies roll?
Pretty much every woman on FWR knows these statistics are false flags, its basic knowledge, why are paid researchers and interviewers apparently so bloody clueless?
Does anyone, anywhere in this media/politics bubble actually have any basic competence? I'm increasingly thinking you could form a quick coalition of our local lollipop lady, the guy that runs the greengrocers, a member of staff from the village hall toddler group and someone from the tills at Tesco and we'd see a staggering shift in intellect, competence and basic ability to run a country while in possession of a brain.
The problem is that the local lollipop lady, the grocer, the toddler group leader don't join political parties because they just don't have the spare time.
And generally, they are probably over-committed everywhere else. That toddler group leader probably runs Brownies; the grocer is probably involved in Rotary; the lollipop lady may very well run an elderly neighbour check.
This is the issue. In a community area, it's generally the same people that do bloody everything. In areas where there is no real community, it just becomes about dropping in political bods from elsewhere, who don't understand the area and don't really care about the people.
We need the community folk to get into government by standing for election, but I don't blame them that they don't. It's not pleasant, and it's very stressful and costs a decent amount of time and cash to run a campaign.
