Reform packing their ranks full of the same Tories who failed miserably last time is a bold strategy for sure. Six months or so ago Farage was calling him a "fraud". Not sure if there's enough room in Reform for Nigel's ego and some other forceful personalities. Ask Rupert Lowe.
As for Bobby J, he's never really gotten over losing the leadership election to Badenoch, and her increasingly impressive performances in the House have probably left him wondering if he's going to get another chance any time soon.
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.
It’s all been pretty much a case of shouting obscenities across a road or intimidating old people. This is the modern day keyboard warrior not getting their just desserts. I’m sure it will happen though.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.

Karma is heading its way towards the ballot stations, hence why those who call people (how ironic!) Nazi's are terrified of elections and want them postponed. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/ne

Ironic? Who are these nazis who are terrified of elections?
Are they the same ones who’ve been calling you a nazi?
You should stop overthinking and trying to read other people's minds.
The 'irony' is in the fact that those desperate to cancel democratic elections perceive supporters who want them, to be Nazi’s.
WHEN? Many (myself included) perceive democracy and political rivalry/change to be the complete opposite of what Hitler ever wanted, I guess he may have denied challenge from those that opposed him?

It’s just I think you’re going wayyyy over the top.
Who is desperate to cancel elections? Who has called those who want local elections nazis? How many times have you been called a nazi?
Been doing a lot of thinking about this in recent months and little of it has convinced me of anything other than the reality that the UK has been hellishly stagnating for nigh on 30 years.
Britain in the mid to late 90's was a fun place to be. Culture was booming. The economy was in decent shape, albeit slowly improving after the ERM nonsense. You could still buy a house on the average income. You didn't need a degree for 95% of jobs. Actual ability and skills in employment was reflected in income. Migration was at manageable levels.
All that started to go to shit on 1st May 1997. Blair was smart enough to not do too much damage in his first term, but after that he hit the throttle big time, and the biggest failure of Cameron was that he did nowhere near enough to undo the damage of New Labour.
Britain was falsely enjoying the selling of the family silver which did bring immediate cash windfalls to the government and to the country but that was accompanied by long term negative consequences. Nothing is simple is economics and running the country but Thatcher was not a saint and neither was Blair.

I agree on the family silver thing, I raged about it for years to anyone who was bored enough to listen. Like most of us on here I grew up in the shadow of the miners strike and loathed 'Thatch' ( @ Ben Elton remember him ? ;) - calling her policies towards the industrial heartlands of the UK "economic apartheid" There was no courting of the Red Wall in those days. Investment and wealth for Tory boroughs jack f-g shit for Labour ones.
In my naive youth worshipping at the church of liberal egalitarianism I always saw Mrs T, Tebbit and Lawson as unfairly punching down and Toilet trader Tony as gloriously punching upwards (yeah sorry about that unfortunate mental image )...I initially welcomed Blair into power in '97 until I saw him for the snake he was. Thankfully I only voted for him once and have never voted Labour again.
These days with the benefit of experience and hindsight it's gone the full 360 on those two...
Both as I see it, classic examples of methodological individualism and the Austrian school but very different in terms of the motivational drivers behind the personalities...
Mrs T would be horrified and incensed at the state of the UK in 2026, while Blair of course is rolling around in it like the rest of the grifting Nu-Labour mob, grabbing and swallowing all they can consume or destroy like a pig in sh/t...."look upon my works and weep"
I found Economics boring as hell at school and dropped it like a hot turd.
I know feck all really but I'm always eager to learn from those that work in the financial sector and I try to read a bit where I can. I've come to find it a fascinating subject in later life and appreciate it for the complex science it is that touches and influences everything we do whether we like it or not.
Anyway I've gone on off on one as usual but yes....we are reaping the whirlwind of 30-40 years of largely unregulated privatisation and chronic underinvestment...
Factor in Milliband's batshit pursuit of Net Zero and it's no wonder we all feel poorer when the utility bills come knocking...
Closer to home it is being reported 14 Senior Welsh Labour AMs are ready to do a runner at or before upcoming Welsh Assembly Elections in May .
Excuses will follow from these Politicians as per usual of course .
Bottom line is Labour will be taken apart hopefully in Tiger Bay and the freeloaders are forced to pick up their nailed on Pension Pot and Golden handshake incoming .
Nice work if you can get it , althought another 30 + noses in the trough are necessary now .

Great posting Dem I joined plod on 79 for the money and security it offered Thatcher boasted about increasing police wages , which were putrid, but all she did was implement Edmund Davies I didn’t see myself as a thatcher shock trooper but understand why many did What changed policing was PACE and this was a watershed All it did was to create a waterfall of fees for solicitors Tories bellowed they were party of law and order which was bollox Labour gave the impression it favours the shits Liberals want to love them all I’d vote National Socialist !
