Farage and Reform constantly appear to need media attention.
They appear to seek this with a series of very controversial and some ridiculous plans, all aimed either at migrants, mainly, but not limited to, Asylum Seekets, but also now (surprise surprise) those on disability benefits.
But why?
Why does he constantly seek attention? Why does he put forward frankly unrealistic, non-legal solutions to problems and issues that he and his party have blown out of all normal proportion.
Are AS arriving on small boats a problem, yes. Is the number of young people unemployed an issue, yes.
However, if both of these issues/problems were to disappear tomorrow, would that mean we and the rest of the country would all be suddenly alright and the cost of living drop?
In my humble opinion this is a resounding no!
So my question remains. Why? Why come up with ridiculous, uncosted, unplanned so called “solutions”?
Why oh why he is constantly harping on about Asylum Seekers, who make up approx 1% of our population, and now people on disability benefits?
I’m not saying we shouldn’t all work towards resolving these issues, they exist, they require resolutions.
BUT, in the real world, on a day to day basis there are many many other issues which deserve time, effort and money.
I truly abhor the way he tells half a story, most of us are not personally affected by migration of any type. Please don’t tell me that the majority of those arriving here are fit and healthy young men in their thirties, then in the same breath claim they take up valuable places in schools, GP surgeries and hospitals.
PIP, the non-means tested benefit is claimed by both working and no -working people.
Universal Credit, the means tested benefit, is paid to both working and non-working people.
Come on Farage, at least tell the whole story, the entire truth and facts. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
