Farage hits back after Ed Davey warns against letting 'Trump's America' become 'Farage's Britain'

Don't you think that making personal attacks is a sign of desperation? If they think this will lose support for Reform it shows how out of touch they are.
The truth of the matter is, that many British people are extremely worried about where our country is heading. Farage does not come across as a nice person (he supports hunting, which I abhor) but, right now, he's the only hope we have to bring us back from the brink of destruction.
As for the swans. I live near a canal and it is common knowledge that ducks, swans and geese are taken, presumably to be eaten. I myself have seen ducks eggs being taken from the nest by a non-white man.

I think Billy Bragg showed just how ridiculous Farage is. Farage said he believed that Saria law was coming to Britian because he'd been told by a Muslim taxi driver. He was willing to believe this man but didn't believe the scientific establishment.

Bring back spitting image!

I just hope that when Reform saves this country after being voted in at the next election, you will see wrong you are.

Me too, that was a speech to stand alongside "Friends, Romans, Countrymen".

You are comparing a speech by Ed Davey, Ed Davey (or more likely his speech writer), with William Shakespeare???

That is the daftest thing I have read on here today, and there is plenty of rubbish being written.

I suggest you read "Julius Caesar" and understand the context and purpose of that speech, and also its result, before you make any more inane comparisons.

I just hope that when Reform saves this country after being voted in at the next election, you will see wrong you are.

So a hyper-capitalist is going to make it all better for the average person? I just hope we never have to find out, for your sake as well as mine.

Just what do you think his company would do that would save the country Teasle2?

He's just going to laugh at all the people who voted for him, just like when they all voted for Brexit because they believed we would be better off.
Trump despises his voters, he thinks there are all losers just like Fragage.
People aren't going to learn though, just like the MAGAs we musn't let the billionnairres go hungry, eh?

Plenty is the answer, at any rate they cant possibly be worse than what has gone before, Tories not excluded. I do wonder why, given the mess we are in, that the brightest and best from across the parties dont come together to attempt to sort it all out.

The brightest and the best would exclude everybody from Reform.

What sort of explanation of an extremist leaders policies is "plenty" Teasle2. Is it that you dont actually know his policies or that he has none?

Of course, we can always look to his boss in the USA to see what policies he has inflicted on that benighted country. So far he has acted illegally and unconstitutionally in ways that weaken their democratic institutions, slow down their economy, roll back protections for public health and the environment, and put health care and Social Security benefits at risk for millions of Americans.

Is this really what you think would be better than you have at the moment? Someone out to rule this country as an oligarch, making the regular worker poorer and the rich richer? What use do you think he will have for pensioners who, just by their numbers, have become very expensive?

The transactional rule of Trump means that if you are not giving the rich anything you are not worth anything to him. Your vote is worth something at the moment but that value will disappear. Pensioner's actual cost more in financial support and health costs.

Please explain why Farage would be any different? I would like to feel as complacent about the future as the Farage supporters do.

Why do people believe that Farage is the answer ? Farage has frequently been associated with Russian influence. One of his ex-politicians has admitted taking bribes from a Russian asset. There is a photograph of Farage with the wife of said Russian.

Exactly this Maremia. I want everyone to see the damage that the US version of Reform is doing there before they decide to vote for change as a protest. If they do they will get change but they won't like it. It'll be even worse that Brexit, and heaven help people of different races.

Plenty is the answer,

Like others on this thread, I would very much like to know what the 'plenty' is that Reform would do, Teazel

The Reform bot is programmed to handle that request.

In answer to the above posters

Stop illegal immigration
Come out of the ECHR
Freeze on non essential immigration
Tax cuts for small businesses
Scrapping targets for net zero
National plan for sustainable system of support for older people

Ban transgender ideology in schools
Tax relief on private school fees
Extra money for NHS
Scrap the rest of HS2 rail link
Raise stamp duty threshold to £750,000.

These are such sensible policies, I find it hard to know what can possibly be objections to these proposals. The funding would presumably come for the NHS from cutting wasteful public expenditure and the Blob etc.

Anyway if Reform do get voted in, it will be interesting to see how events unfold and how doable it all will be. Should be interesting times. It feels like it is time for a change.

The funding would presumably come for the NHS from cutting wasteful public expenditure and the Blob etc.

I've heard the term the Blob on here before.
However, I have no idea what it refers to - can you help me out, please, Teazel2?

It could be quite obvious, but I have no clue.

Those are not policies, those are sound bites and slogans.

Pick one. Expand on what it means.

Please explain what you think coming out of the ECHR means and the consequences for 70 million people in this country.

Allira, it means the Civil Service 🙂

It's a pejorative term and I ask you not to use it.

Does anyone know of another forum for older people? This one appears to be being swamped. Obviously, they have the right to join but there must be somewhere more pleasant, where debate can still take place.

How easy it is to say they are sound bites and slogans! It seems to me that this Labour government is full of sound bites and slogans.

I am not going to write an essay on expanding anything but it seems that coming out of the ECHR is the only way of stopping the gravy train of human rights lawyers which we all read about in the papers.

Like another poster has stated, I also voted for Brexit and am also a Reform voter as I totally agree with their proposals.

I would be interested in having an explanation of which ones you disagree with and why.

Oh, thanks Teazel.
Or no thanks.

Retired hardworking Civil Servant here.

Is it? I really had no idea, and apologise if so. I have read it used in newspapers and genuinely did know it was perjorative.

Allira

I can only apologise, .I really did not know it was offensive, just thought it was a word used to describe the Civil Service.

I don't know much about social media sites.
Do you want one where everyone agrees with each other?
Perhaps other posters might know.

Who are they , please?

Well, it doesn't sound very nice to my mind.

As if Civil Servants are one homogenous mass.
I can assure you they are not.

Didn't Farage say that asylum seekers were killing and eating swans? However would they manage that?

They are raiding the royal parks. They eat carp too. No evidence of either actually happening.

This story belongs to the same irrational scare mongering tactic as Trump saying Haitians immigrants eat pet cats and dogs.

Actually in my dh’s fishing lake in a public park they have caught two polish men taking specimen carp to eat. Please remember that carp used to be farmed by monks for eating.
As for the swans, I don’t know but they were eaten by royalty in the past.
Either way, I think it might just be a lack of our cultural knowledge.
Farage is just stirring up trouble!

Teazel, does the Reform party explain how it would stop illegal immigration?
If this party has a suggestion as to how that might be achieved, surely they could tell us, so that we, as a nation, can achieve it.
I am not being provocative . I am a fervent supporter of legal migration ( a recent visit to A&E confirmed how reliant we are on people from other countries to support the NHS), and am opposed to anyone illegally staying.
