    That’s because it’s made up.

    NHS was struggling before the Tories got in too. They just made it exponentially worse be being even more corrupt and incompetent.

    This isn’t just a Labour / Tory thing. This is a systemic failure. I think this is true about many of todays large issues. I don’t think either party is capable of fixing many of them.

    We have the ulitimate melting pot of a population explosion and a government that is so inept they make SR look like geniuses.

    Crazy world if it happens. Imagine if back in 2009 you told someone that Lowe would be running for PM in 20 years.

    Hilarious, but don't underestimate how stupid these extreme right wingers can be.

    I recently got back on Facebook. Full of racists. X. Full of racists. I don’t meet people willing to say this stuff to my face in daily life, but the internet is full of racist English people now.

    It’s a sewer mate. Something about the anonymity brings out the worst in people.

    Just need to go back a couple of years and suggest a collaboration between Elon Musk and Rupert Lowe would be bonkers enough.

    As much as I dislike Farage, he IS Reform UK. Without him they are nothing, Musk is just showing how little he knows about the UK.

    Personally I doubt Musk even actually cares about any of the stuff he posts or says anymore, he's allegedly ketted off his tits most of the time and is so unfathomably rich that he probably considers the World his toy and is just stirring the pot for his own amusement.

    Based on your posts on here, you scream the word “racist” at anyone with a slightly different opinion to you.

    So I’d probably take a long look in the mirror tbh

    That implies there are many actual people left on FB and X.

    I distinctly get the impression it is approaching the tipping point of being mainly AI talking to AI.

    How many 7 fingered amputee US soldiers 1$0/8th birthdays can there be, they certainly constitute a lot of the posts I see on FB.

    Lowe is genuinely doing a fantastic job.

    He’s one of the only MPs that truly is investigating and shining a light on just how bad things are.

    Britain is becoming unrecognisable and no one else is doing anything about it.

    So are you saying Nazism is alive and kicking in the UK. Please explain further. As you mention "some people" does that imply people on this forum?Asking for a friend.

    Really, news alert anonymity is what this whole forum is about. You do know opinions are like arse holes, every has one and most of them stink, especially the commie ones that post on some forums.

    The Musk thing is interesting. All these ecophiles that jumped on the Tesla thing and made a bunch of money on the $2000 per share, before the split, that bought the car are now the customers that are having buyers remorse because Elon has joined Trump. The thing that bothers me is, when you buy a car, who the **** asks the car dealership salesman "what political party does your Owner vote for" in the case of the Tesla, shouldn't " I am saving the planet" be enough.

    Can we uphold this, or do we need to refine it to reflect Animal Farm, by that great author George Orwell. 1984 was very prophetic too.

    No fan of Lowe (obviously) but I didn't think that crossed over with his time here? Thought Higgins had left before he came in and and Lowe was long gone before it came to light?
