I'm agreeing with various points made by MOnica and Whitewave but particularly in regard to a lofty elite which encompasses many walks of life and are so removed from much of the electorate.
Farage, who has a way of resonating and connecting and possibly that was best illustrated in his own triumph over sneery Dame Alison Rose when he was de banked and scored a resounding victory over her unbelievable own goal when she nailed herself by her stupid indiscretion. I have to admit in that context I was very much on team Farage, whilst highlighting his own dilemma he then brought into the public domain how many others had suffered the same fate, without a bank account it's impossible to operate in this day and age, but worst of all why are banks even there as moral arbiters they are nobody's friend and in many contexts their behaviour, not just recently but often historically, has been completely immoral.
Would I trust Farage in government though? almost certainly not, there's no way I would consider that Reform had the wherewithal to run the country, but then perhaps that accusation could be levied at the present and previous administration. It's very easy to imbue the public with all the answers when the opposition, which right now is Reform, are on the ascendant, until the reality of being at the helm kicks in.
My opinion of the Farages and the Tommy Robinsons is they are a 21st century versions of Watt Tyler spearheading the peasants who are still revolting and they always will be when the seat of power doesn't listen, we don't have to go back to the 14th century to know that's a fact, but Starmer could be swept away just as Richard ll was by Henry Bolingbroke. I don't know why politicians don't heed the lessons of history, the revolutions in France and Russia both so bloody, didn't end well for the rulers there. Although I tend to think that the British aren't quite as reactionary as say the French nevertheless with the number of agent provocateurs from both ends of the political spectrum I believe there is a gathering momentum of discontent which threatens to boil over which of course is worrying.
Farage whether one likes it or not has a certain charisma as opposed to Starmer's grey automaton delivery which isn't particularly inspiring, neither have both he and his ministers, with their entitlement as to freebies. Lord Alli of the freebie debacle, is again in the news, just like his namesake Rasharna Ali, previous Homelessness Minister has also excelled himself recently in evicting tenants before hiking the rent. They both know the legislation regarding that coming down the line, but hey ho, all that, well it's for the little people. It's the political elite once again their duplicity and hypocrisy knows no bounds, do they think they can keep these matters out of the public domain? Fools! they besmirch their party and the decent MPs because whatever we assume, there are some.
I think one of the worst things about this government thus far, is the financial incompetence of the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, there doesn't seem to be anybody in government who has run a small to medium size business, and they certainly aren't listening to the advice from the business sector. Productivity doesn't come from lawyers, academics or trade unionists.
