    The running spat between Trump and Musk on X is getting better and better as the minutes go by tonight. Popcorn at the ready for this one

    Do you mean Michael Foot? Kinnock wasn't leader until after the 83 election.

    No I do know the difference between Kinnock and Foot lol.
    I didn't say he was the Labour leader, but he gave that pre election speech against Maggie Thatch.
    Saying if she/they win this election, then I warn you not to be young, not to be ordinary, not to fall Ill, and to never grow old!!. :eek:
    Quite an interesting choice of words to be honest.
    And the Tories won by a landslide of course.

    It's stuff like this that terrifies me. How can you reason with someone who won't even acknowledge facts. You'd like to think they're a minority, however you see the same behaviour all the time in the comments sections on social media.

    The more you hear the more Reform sound like a cult, full of brainwashed people. It’s almost like they can’t think for themselves, oh hold on

    Was it a full moon in fascistville last night?

    Trump and Musk having their social media hand bags, Farages Chairman resigning after he failed to get backing after their new MP started to blow her burka dogwhistle. Farage issuing racist rhetoric against the Scottish Labour leader and being called such by SNP and today KemiKaze going full batshit cray cray using stupidly inflammatory language about migrants and paving the way for withdrawing from sensible international legal agreements.

    Mental.

    The one that always makes me laugh is "people are fed up and want a change". I understand and appreciate that. Regularly, Starmer shows himself to be an out of touch, middle class liar. But then they turn to Farrage, another rich white man, who's on record as being an even bigger liar, and has a 'political party' which doesn't have any credible policy on anything other than immigration. How is that going to change the country?

    I think if we elected a reform government you would see a massive change in the country.
    Not a good one obviously but a change.

    Nice to see Farage having an effect on the locals now when they're discussing on facebook the amount of taxis in Barnsley town centre. This is the society that Farage and Reform crave.

    "Out of town Abdul" tut tut. Be hope the person doesn't post on this forum..

    Given (if all goes to plan) we're due to move houses soon to a new area, we've joined nextdoor and getting a feel for things.

    Sadly, like others after the local elections, the area we're moving to will have a Reform Council.

    I thought it worth posting this given I seem to see various tenets of "they're all the same" and "they're on the side of working people."

    Since they gained power, the councillors have refused to take the required training courses that require them to understand committees and literally, how the council operates its budgets and day to day. Instead of meetings and committees, they are plugging into Reform Limiteds central headquarters to be told what to do. Committee meetings (all of them) have been cancelled for the next three months.

    Their intention is to create an external "doge style" unit, requesting access to all records for scrutiny, which I suspect is neither legal nor possible.

    No doubt they'll kick up a stink they can't do this and start to blame the usual suspects to whip up more hatred and fervour.

    So just think the impact this will have on your every day life. Roads, buildings, cleaning, parks, budgets, planning, parking. All being thrown into possible chaos for 3 months on the whim of Reform HQ. That doesn't seem to serve local people in the slightest.

    I don't think he's lying about his plans for the NHS though unfortunately.
    USA style health 'care' here we come!

    Reform, a limited company, with limited policies for people with limited intelligence.

    Farage mask is slipping on GBNews atm. And a bloke is giving him a pasting.

    Nige is clearly "understanding" the acts of "thuggery" in Northern Ireland.

    In other words, he has not got it within himself to unequivocally condemn it.

    These villains setting fire to everything in Ballymena are the same idiots as at Manvers.

    They need locking up. For being fooking stoopid and lawless, if nothing else.

    Brought to you by one of the biggest supporters of Liz Truss’ mini budget…

    Batshit economics.

    As we saw with Brexit, there are some people who will gladly make political voting choices that won't benefit themselves but harm many just through sheer bloody mindedness.

    They'll vote Farage because of the dog whistles they pretend they don't hear and ignore the privatisation of the NHS, ignore the tax breaks for rich cronies just in the hope we have less 'muslamic infidels' (sic) in the country.
