    There was a serious 'man crush' when Boris Johnson was whipping everyone up about Brexit and running the country single-handedly ...

    ... since he was sussed everyone took the posters off their bedroom walls and 'dumped' him.

    Now people have fallen in love with Nigel they're backing the epitomy of a 'one man party'.

    If Farage was toppled tomorrow the entire Reform party would end ...

    ... they have one policy and one politician.

    It's cringing to see so many people sucking up to the man.

    I think like Cameron did after Brexit he would resign not long after getting in. He wouldn’t see it through.

    That's all fair enough, but also think what happens if they get into power who holds the main positions?

    Lee Anderson as Foreign Secretary? Sarah Pochin as Home Secretary? Richard Tice as Chancellor?

    Once you consider this it quickly becomes ridiculous. Yes I know there would be a much larger pool to draw from if they were to win, but putting complete novices into power is a recipe for disaster.

    We currently have doctors on strike, Russian boats in UK, waters, Chinese espionage, the war in Ukraine and lots of other issues ..

    ... I really can't imagine how Farage would be handling it all.

    It's not all about kicking the darkies out, the country has endless problems to deal with and stopping the boats won't solve them all.

    Nothing wrong with flying the flag so no need for faux outrage by some but anyone putting flags on lampposts recently no fine well what they are doing.

    You have no idea if what you say is true. You are generalising based on what you read in your own media. Just noting your obsession with folk being media led <cheers>

    It's the bond market traders that decide financial and economic policy... cos once you gave a huge debt, you lose control.
    Just as if you can't pay your mortgage, the banks exercis repossession of your house or take over your income etc.

    Jesus Christ. 100 years have passed and we are still falling into this same pit of hate.

    I agree with your second para.

    But you really do not know if what you say is true? Or do you? If so how?

    As for irony. It is why I said what I did <cheers>

    Just look at the state of the councils. Protest votes don’t have to be for racist idiots

    He called it, lost, then didn’t have the balls to see it through. He never expected the result.
    That’s how far removed from reality these politicians are, not one of them know how the everyday man or woman feels about the state of the country. Far right, racist, are the go to argument for too many people who can’t address the issues the UK is facing. It’s an easy excuse to give without actually addressing the turmoil this country is in

    I despair when people accept that 'the markets' control our lives without question.
