Publishing thier first ever policy on their website (apart from that policy giving tax breaks to crypto traders which was hastily deleted 2 days into by-election campaigning)

Congratulation to Reform supporters,

how does it feel?

I guess it'll make one or two of them so happy they'll want to abuse betfairs safeguarding systems and get this post deleted.

You probably thought this post was me reposting the post that you reported and got deleted.


Thing is about your game is I always have the upper hand, you've only got one move: Report

All you do is highlight the logic, reason or facts you don't like, I get to decide if I wanna
put it up again and watch you rub your noses in a bit of logic, reason or facts again.


Maybe I will, maybe I won't.
But you have to keep checking because you get less fun from targetting my day old posts

You're the one rubbing your noses in stuff you don't like


If you think you're winning you don't understand who's playing who.


G'luck

saddo - Escapee reminds me of Norman Bates at the end of Psycho, when he asks for the blanket in his cell and his mothers personality has taken over.

I dont like the Tories (or what they've become), Labour have always been a disaster when elected and the Liberals are insignificant. So you are left with the same old, same old or lets take a chance and go with a party that at least at the moment have no (bad) form and lets face it how much worse can they be than the dross that is currently in or have gone before?

The line that I can not cross but loads of people are sleepwalking over is handing the keys of the UK to a company.


Like Farage or not, It's reform UK limited that will be taking over UK, if not them, then tescos or even a tax free company based in panama.


I put it to you that whilst the last and current lot are bad, it can be much much worse if a company asset
strips and mortgages the UK to the hilt like what has happened with the water companies.


Who's ultimately making the descisions about water prices and investment? Not a Brit in sight.


You want the same for the whole of the UK?


Brexit was taking back control not giving control to a privately owned limited company

Reform can be bought by anyone with cash, or crypto

Then the party would be owned by somebody else,..

So if they became a legit political party tomorrow would you still vote with the Uni-party?

You're mistaken to think I vote for the UNI party. I'm non partisan.


If they became a legit political party it would be fantastic, the right would gain legitimacy through organising as a democratic heirachy  instead of a company owned by unknown billionaires controlling everything.

But the prize at stake is hundreds of £billions, £trillions, people have experienced defenestration for much less, so it's unlikely to happen.


Limited companies should be barred from feilding candidates IMHO, shocked that they allowed.


Reform have shown it can be done, if not by them, by another limited company.
It probably will happen.

Whilst I take your point on board I've seen enough over the last 66 years to know that the current and previous governments have royally f00ked this country right up and will never get my vote again.

you are safe heaping scorn on reform. you will not be deleted

if you say similar about labour you might be

Busyfool, I really dont know how we've got into this almost impossible position and how (if at all) we get out of it. When we have the likes of Rayner having to resign over tax affairs then allowed back before the years out you know the system stinks. The media are complicit across the world in this and are so one sided its hard not to believe there are people actively bringing about the west's downfall. Who they are they, the WEF, Fabian Society, Soros or all of them, there is definately an agenda to destabalise western countries and bring us all to our knees. I'm only glad I'm 66 and not 26 as I dread to think where this country will be in 40 years time.
Report Busyfool August 16, 2026 10:28 PM BST
er

you have plunged into conpiracy land there ol fruit. please stop it. theres definitely no agenda. trying to get the fabians soros and the wef is one thing, incorporating the bildeberg group, world jewry, the un, the cia, eu, magic circle, interflora, who nose?

media is not complicit, at least what you know of it. it is free to say what it wants, unlike many parts of the world. i consume very little of it as its just not very good

the beeb is heavily biased with an agenda that makes it an arm of labour but it still makes progs nobody else does

it should be separated and you pay for the good stuff and the news is optional. might shake em up. the absurd arbitrary salaries only exist in public bodies. the twerp reading your news bulletin wouldnt get a sausage elsewhere

totally agree with you Mr Spock.

The fool uses 'conspiracy' to ridicule and shut people down as others use 'far right' and racist'.
In one breath the 'media is not complicit', but in the next 'the beeb is heavily biased'. As,
coincidentally, are ITV, C4, Sky and any other major news channels. Alcohol makes some people incredibly pompous and all-knowing.
Report Cider August 17, 2026 9:22 AM BST
Not just the legacy media. It's increasingly difficult to find online reporting that isn't left wing establishment or gaslighting on their behalf. Many people use google as it probably is the best search engine generally, but search any 'breaking' news story and the algorithm will put all of the complicit organisations at the top. All the usual suspects, bbc c4 grauniad itv sky. Sometimes I have to go four or five pages along to find a site that isn't just an arm of the government. Edge is even worse, being bill gates.

Only a deaf blind man would think the media is not complicit.

Also anyone that thinks all this is happening normally needs to have a word with themselves imo.
Report Busyfool August 17, 2026 11:25 PM BST
first up sadcake. i do not shut anyone down. ive been droning on against it for too long. im censored plenty, you know that. and you never argue back with evidence. why?

the media is not part of a conspiracy. its free. what it does with that freedom i deplore, hence i dont consume it, as i made clear

you and people like cider see it as sinister. its not. regrettable and disingenuous certainly. the beeb has become of of the institutions taken over by left-wing orthodoxy, the long march is over. its happened. that is what you should be railing against. just leave out the c word

but compared to others... its a beacon. try putin tv. i have and its off the scale barmy 

instructive you mention only tv channels. i havent watched any of them for 20 years, although occasionally online via iplayer. give em up. most youngsters have

you are actually in sympathy but cant see it. never mind
