    He’s off to Scotland now. Farage’s popularity is rising up there, surprisingly. His party are expected to do well in their next elections. Same for Wales.

    I thought the momentum for Reform would have passed by now but it continues to gather pace. It’s looking like we could actually have a Reform government.

    A Reform government would take some doing, they only have 5 MPs, although the way things are going with Labour they might actually wipe the floor with them.

    Bookies favourite for a reason, mate. I can see it happening and we can only hope that the Nazi’s are turfed out of the party. Really don’t want our government front bench with Germany 1930’s attitudes.

    You can’t demand your way out of complex issues. More elderly, high expense privatised care, reduction in wellbeing can’t just be sorted by shouting.

    If Farage gets any sort of power, it will be irrelevant whether the NHS is good, bad or indifferent. It will not exist any more, simple as that. Okay for millionaire's like Farage but quite possibly a death sentence for any of his fanboys that can't afford private healthcare for any serious medical problems.

    You have no idea about Nigel and what he will do.
    The NHS will be so much better than it is now.
    Cos it's shocking at the minute.

    Why Bob, is he keeping everything a secret so no one knows what they're voting for?

    Healthcare will be "better" for those that can afford it. Those that can't... tough ****. Perhaps we could send kids back up chimneys and open up workhouses while we are on in our glorious new future under the fascist Farage <laugh>

    I don't know why people are so terrified of admitting they're racist tbh.

    All over social media people will say absolutely anything rather than that.

    I'm not sure why they pretend that fishing quotas and agricultural policies are what's on their mind.

    Farage is a racist, I'm sure of that, and so are many of his party, they've made that obvious ...

    ... but, if some of the Reform voters aren't racists then there are none.

    The whole thing seems to be built on a weird omerta, all very exciting for those involved I expect.

    Farage cares only about his pet subject… immigrants…. He’s like the SNP in Jockistan… a one trick pony…

    "I think we're going to have to move to an insurance based system of healthcare". I have just watched a video where Farage says the above (don't know how to upload it). So I DO have an idea about what "Nigel" would do. I have seen first hand the man saying so himself. It doesn't get any clearer than that. It is a fact. It is not my opinion, it is what "Nigel" himself says.

    Farage who owns over 3,000 acres and is a multi millionaire, what worldly experience will he bring to the table? Will people vote for him over labour or tories? Frightening future for our political wellbeing, unless labour can pull something off in the next three years.

    It's not the multi millionaire Farage that is the problem, it is the gullible non millionaire fools who get taken in by his populist spiel that are the problem.

    His ‘drinking with the lads’, in their local, routine is sickening …

    … if any of them returned the favour, and turned up at his gentleman’s club, they’d be thrown out on their arse <laugh>
