Farage’s Political Earthquake Begins to Rattle Britain’s Foundations

Interesting piece. Responding to the voices of women voters who helped elect her.

 

 

Reform’s new MP: ‘We will stand up to sexual violence from illegal migrants’

Ms Pochin said that several women in Runcorn had visited her campaign office to discuss with her “how threatened they feel now walking home, how they don’t want to let their children of either sex, but particularly girls walk home from school.”
The former magistrate of more than 20 years said that “law and order” would be a key concern of hers.
She added: “The more HMOs we get with these legal immigrants in them, the more the threat of drug dealing goes on, the more the threat of grooming gangs starts.
“It’s very very real, and anybody that, as I say, doesn’t agree with that is in utter denial.”

And good to see that after several years on the forum you haven’t changed a bit from your right-wing, myopic approach to politics, summed up completely as “lefties bad!”

Unlike yourself I can change my opinion based on new facts presented and although I  am certainly more left leaning, I can criticise when criticism is merited and hold ALL political parties to account. 
You should try it yourself now and again. 

 

As stated many times on this forum I voted for Blair in 97. Embarrassing, but true. 

 

So to suggest I cannot change my mind seems a little far fetched. You may have noticed I am not really Pro Labour these days. 

 

Like many people who believes in taking care of the working class indigenous people of Britain, I didn't leave the left, the left left me. 

 

If ever they regained a semblence of sanity I would consider voting for them again. But as long as they remain the party of racist, sexist 2 tier justice. Of anti semitism, of rampant uncontrolled immigration, of freezing pensioners, anti white DEI policies, the politics of envy, wars based on WMD lies and virtually bankrupting the country every time they win an election with their inane economic policies, that seems unlikely.

 

The modern left despises the working class of Britain. Openly mocks them. They are vitriolic liars and hypocrites. Not for me, but you crack on.... It seems like you've started working it out but are not yet ready to admit it. Good luck with that journey, I've been on it and it's not really that difficult to admit you made a mistake, especially with the current government making it clear every single day.

Reform have largely been a single issue party simply throwing stones from the side-lines, they now have 10 councils to run. It will be interesting to see how they fare.

Be hard to think they could be run in a worse manner than they were by Labour. Having said that, talk is cheap so lets see.

And you were doing so well until this bunch of nonsense. The 'party of racist, sexist 2 tier justice?' whatever the hell that is. 'Of anti semitism, of rampant uncontrolled immigration' - simply untrue but we start to get to the heart of how you view the world with your 'anti white DEI policies' as if you are somehow, miraculously less in this world because of those damned 'people of colour'.

 

And finally 'wars based on WMD lies' - talk about living in the past. That WAS Blair and maybe that left you with such a foul taste it still resonates now but it was over 20 years ago so maybe try and get over it.

Don't know about the world, but I definitely would be in the UK.

I may be wrong, but do refugees need to have 65,000GBP in savings before they can bring their family in.

And didn't we all read the posts by the forum member who had to return and ended up living rough?
