It’s a fine line Reform need to walk here. They’ve very little experience of running a government so will need to bring in people with experience and knowledge. However, bring in too many and risk looking like the Conservative Party V2.

I thought the point of voting Reform was because the two main parties fucked up and we need to try something new?
Depends on whether or not these imports/political immigrants can work within the Reform framework and (political) aims.

I don't thing the general public actually has access to such framework or policies/aims yet, just media speculation on them; speculation from the media that is still spitting feathers about the Brexit outcome.

You can almost taste the fear the traditional party voters have for Reform though, the irony being that it is entirely their fuckeries that brought Reform (or UKIP as it once was) into being in the first place.

As for Truss I think any government minister who has died recently or sustained a brain injury has her covered
 
..." Tice lives under Sharia law by choice"...

What does it matter which law you live under, so long as you respect it and don't (plan to) break it?


Now.The interpretation and implementation of that law at any given time by any dominant subset of the society that has (made) those laws is a different thing.

He did but that's neither here nor there, holding the position he did at the time he should have eaten a copious amount of shit for it.

I can imagine if Starmer was accused of the same it wouldn’t be accepted so calmly
Reminds me a bit of Trump supporters
As Trump said he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a vote
Doing it in Minnesota now for real
 
 
It's not very complicated at all so I understand why you don't get it.

Some people have a skill or a persoal characteristic which makes them useful or liked and admired which means indiscretions are forgiven.

Othe people are just cunts and get treated accordingly.

Take John Prescott, John like Nigel was charismatic and people generally liked him so he got away with lamping a member of the public.

Mike Amesbury, like Starmer, is a rotten festering pus filled cսnt so when he lamped a member of the public he got porridge.

Crowborough has a Tory MP - Nus Ghani.
 
 
This is correct.

It's actually the Green Party's Deputy Leader Rachel Millward who objects to migrants being housed in her area.

I didn't tell you to leave the country.

I'm still here because this is my beloved home and I am a 'somewhere' not an 'anywhere'

If you did, I missed it. So IF you did, please accept my apologies for accusing you of being evasive about it.

Apologies, I assumed it would be easily inferred. I voted Reform. I will vote Reform next time, too.

For avoidance of doubt, I am a Thatcherite who also voted for Brexit.

Are you prepared to be as frank and honest about voting Labour? We know someone must have.
