Stop the BBC giving prominence to Reform

Casdon thanks.
No, missed that thread.
I will go and take a read.

I think you’ll find that Jeremy Corbin and co have the title of fastest growing political party. The Independent wrote an article about it.

No

I don’t think Barbadosbelle understands how a vote of confidence in the U.K. Parliament works.

Only MPs can vote on a vote of confidence and there are about four hundred Labour MPs against four Reform MPs.

Even with a few Labour abstentions it is not going to force the government to resign.

Buntymart I suggest you widen your approach to the news so you can have a balanced argument.

I have a feeling when they mess up Local Government in the areas they have won, people will begin to see that they are one-trick ponies and incapable of running a booze-up in a brewery, let alone a Council or a country.

I am surprised nothing much has come to light yet.
Perhaps they are good enough to run a Country?

I would likely give them a go if it came to it.

Surprised so many GN members are coming on to say they would vote Reform.
Even a year ago, I dont think hardly anyone would put their head above the parapet.

I’m surprised you haven’t been seeing on the news what has been happening in Reform led councils fancythat, for example Nottinghamshire was discussed on here only a few days ago?

Nowadays I dont read or look at a whole load of news.
I probably get more from GN than anywhere else!
And I cherry pick what I want to see on this site as well.

Dont think I came across a thread about Nottinghamshire.

Here it is.

The point I made earlier is proved. Sad, but true.

Also… wouldn’t know about BBC news - only watch GB News nowadays!

Reform all the way… got our vote and all our friends 👍

...... nor a Public School

Wikipedia says that Nigel Farage attended Dulwich College, which is an independent fee-paying school and as such beyond the reach of most people. It was not a state grammar or comprehensive.

PS what are called public schools in the US and other places are called state schools in Britiain.

Barbadosbelle, in British English 'public school' means private school. I think this is because the earliest ones like Eton and Harrow were set up for the purpose of educating the sons of poor clergy who couldn't fford private tutors for their offspring.

So, if Farage went to a fee paying school in England, then he did indeed go to what we call here a public school.

Mouse

Garage is only out for himself. He got the leave vote then promptly got him and his family German passports so they could continue enjoying the rights we had just been deprived of. Not to mention if he paid as much attention to the country as he does to his constituency….

Just a few corrections

Nigel Farage has not got a German passport.

Nigel Farage’s ex wife is German, she is entitled to a German passport as are her and Nigel’s children.

Oh how I wish writers such as flump would do some simple research before they reinforce their lack of knowledge by posting such inaccuracies.

Im running out of time (and patience) with some writers here and so will just add a few comments ....

# Nigel Farage DIDN'T go to a Public School. He went to a fee paying London school. And, yes, there is a difference. About £40k a year. Which you would know if you weren't hoi polloi!!!

# Richard Tice is a self-made millionaire. Why do people like you turn your nose up at others successes and be so venomous? Jealousy? Lack of success in your own careers/life?

Both men had 'proper' jobs before becoming involved with politics. Something the majority of Labourites and Tories can't claim!!!

I am very depressed by many of the remarks and comments on this thread.
All I can say is look at History and the rise of the Nazi party.

Those of you who support Reform (a private company btw, not a political party) are also keen to see the NHS dismantled and an American style insurance system put in its place. I assume you and your families are very well off then.

It makes me question whether both the conservatives and Lavour even care any more about getting into power next time around. They seem to prefer putting the immigration situation above votes.

Strange times we are living in.

Oh, dear dear dear, VikingElder!

You're so obviously a member of the Labour Party - probably one of its horrendous Ministers!!

So many inaccuracies, including The Daily Mail not paying U.K. taxes. So wrong. Google before you post
.

I never understood the media's love affair with Farage, Tice et all. It's the same with Trump- you can't get away from these horrible people.
