Ah someone who can afford to buy two houses.

Reform is a good choice for you. You are certainly who they represent.
Nearly everyone who owns a house in Brighton could afford to buy two houses. They may have to move, though. They might even have to live near some of those less well-off people who voted for Reform!

Nearly everyone who owns a house in Burnley could afford to buy two houses. They may have to move though (to Sunderland). They might even have to live near some of those more enlightened people who don't vote Reform!

You know they have already stated that money will be withdrawn from Special Needs? Farage believes kids just get an autism diagnosis via Zoom from the GP, who is easily fooled.
Even by Reform's thinking, this is a particular bonkers idea. Mrs G works with these kids, ones who have to be kept separate from the kids in the mainstream. How do you think parents of other kids are going to react when they're not separated and they're bundled in with the rest of the students? It will have a dreadful effect on the majority, as it will slow down lessons but it will have a worse effect on the special needs kids, as they won't have the dedicated help they need

Oh that we could aspire to such greatness.

As it happens, only 4 of the 6 seats in Burnley went to Reform. The other two went to independents.

Pylons can cause houses to be cheaper as less people would want to live in a house next to a pylon.

Living within certain distances of pylons can also potentially cause health issues further down the line

Plus they also look worse
That sounds a bit woke

I grew up living in Stanley Road in Portslade right along side all the pylons in the allotments. I am now 76 with no health problems that could in any way be attributed to electro magnetic energy. I’ve never had any form of cancer.

I also worked for 25 years for an electricity company. In the 90s, I took part in monitoring electricity on people. I wore a monitor, had to fill in forms detailing where the meter was in my house, where the nearest substation was etc. Quite a few of us took part, along with other companies at the time.
I can remember a mother trying to sue the company for her young son getting a brain tumour, saying it was the electricity meter that caused it!

Your theory is not true.

Possibly, however I see Farage as the right’s Corbyn. Plays well to the faithful, but won’t take the centre with him.

I can see the traditional Conservative vote being split between the Lib Dems and Reform, meaning Reform will beat their personal best in terms of electoral results, but not be able to form a government. For every Conservative voter he attracts, he repels another.

He may gain enough power to force a Reform/Conservative coalition or merger, but that will only break the Conservative Party for even longer.

Do you think the Conservative Party will ever come back with strength? I think this might be comparable to the time when the Liberal party state lost a century of dominance to the new and upcoming Labour Party. The question maybe who becomes or remains the second dominating party - Labour or the Lib Dems?

Trump's managed to secure his Southern border, successive UK governments have failed to secure the English channel for at least 25 years so yes, I'm happy 👍
25 years? The number of people claiming asylum via crossing the Channel in 2018 was 299.

The biggest cause of dinghy crossings is Brexit. Before we left in January 2021, we could return them straight back to France. IMG_0013.jpeg

It looks as if she planned to move from the acceptable face of racism under Reform & tweed wearing, public schoolboy multi millionaire financier Nigel Farage to the unacceptable face of racism under public schoolboy multi millionaire tweed wearing Rupert Lowe.

Morning TB i hope you had a good weekend, between 2018 & 2021 how many folk did we return to France?
Ask the Home Office using a FOI and let me know. Ta.
Btw the Refuge Council say approx 80% are genuine and are granted asylum, if that helps.
