The 1924 Labour government didn't last long, we had National coalition governments from 1929 to 1945. Then Attlee destroyed our industry by nationalising everything and the Labour/Tory ping pong managed our decline until Thatcher grabbed the bull by the horns and turned the country around, since then we have seen the advent of globalism and Politicians are now working not for the people but for the Globalist bosses. People though are fed up. We don't want the WEF, the UN, the ECHR, and the Corporations and NGOs to be in charge, we want the people we elect to work for us...not these global masters. Switching from one major party to the other isn't going to change that which is why people are voting for the "upstart parties". Le Pen in France, Wilders in the Netherlands, Meloni in Italy, AfD in Germany...and Reform in the UK. In the UK came to this realisation a bit late, we thought we could trust the Tories to get Brexit sorted, instead they deliberately fudged it and then they started behaving like Socialists. Nobody wants Labour and the MSM have been on a concerted campaign to undermine Reform with all their dirty tricks. Maybe not this time, but next time Reform are going to be a force to be reckoned with, and the MSM is dead after this.

I have to disagree with you here Simon. I lived in France for a long time, I never heard anybody criticise the Brits and Americans for bombing France during the war, I didn't feel any resentment at all due to that. In fact they were grateful, and knew very well that Britain was targeting the Nazis not the French, indeed often the French Resistance would help guide in the bombers so they could hit their targets. Not even a cheep about Mers-el-Kébir. The French don't dislike us they are jealous, they could never beat us, we always ended up beating them, the may have won a battle or two but never the war, that's what annoys them. They have monuments to Napoleon and he is still celebrated, even though if you think about it he was not dissimilar to Hitler, and yet the Germans celebrating Hitler would be unthinkable, yet the French love their Tyrant Emperor, well it was the only time they had a few victories, so you take what you can get I suppose.

I spotted that as well. Typical BBC, I wonder if being a blue haired activist is a requirement to join their social media team.

I disagree, there are some similarities, but then don't most wars begin along these lines, a territorial dispute, a linguistic or religious or ideological affiliation. However Hitler was out for revenge, he had a plan from the moment he came to power, he started building a war machine immediately and everything he did was about building a massive military, from building roads and buildings, Cruise ships that could be converted to troop ships in a moment, tanks and guns and planes were designed and manufactured in secret, all Political moves were designed to advance the cause. War was the goal, Lebensraum the objective, but really it was all about avenging the defeat of 1918. I don't see this with Putin at all. It seems to me he was reticent to go to war, and he has been restrained, he has moved very slowly, indeed it seems to be WWI style trench warfare (with drones and satellites and sophisticated weaponry) rather than fast moving Panzer groups encircling and advancing at tremendous speed. IN WWII the lines in Russia would move hundreds of miles in a month, in Ukraine they have been fighting over a couple of km's for years. I am no fan of Putin, but I am also no fan of Zelensky, he's a bit of a dictator himself, and let's face it he's a puppet, he is entirely dependent on continued support from the West and to ensure that he has to do as he is told.Putin should not have invaded but there is more to all this than we know...that's for sure. It didn't start as a Proxy war, but it has turned into one, and of course it's the young men in both countries and the civilians on the front line who bear the brunt of it all.

The idea that the BBC can fact check anything is quite frankly hilarious. They are fake news champions, just read anything about Trump for example. We do not know what happened at the last US election but clearly there were let's say some shennaginas that occurred, and yet they will say "trump has claimed without evidence", or "Trump's unfounded claims the 2020 vote was stolen from him." etc. And that's just an example, others include branding Liverpudlians far right (the notion is absurd) because they protested against too many migrants being housed near them and harassing their daughters. The list is long. I find BBC Verify hilarious, which is good as the BBC have swapped comedy for Left wing propaganda, so it's nice to have some light entertainment.

Oh Labour will be worse, but there is no hope for the Tories, so we just have to Keep Buggering On and look after ourselves for the next five years.

i have great fun on the internet asking people to define Fascist. Most of them start off by trying Nationalists and Authoritarians. So I say "what like the SNP?" Ooops! So they have to try again or usually what happens is they hurl a few more insults and disappear. The thing is Mussolini was a Fascist and only got involved in the war because he kind of had to follow Hitler, but Hitler was a Socialist, his version of Socialism was that it be only for Germans and that everybody else should pay for it, but it was still Socialism. People seem to think the Nazis were Fascists, but they weren't. Hitler never called himself a Fascist nor his regime. It was always National Socialism.

@jimjones-bk2is Of course the past is being expunged, for example in 2002 WInston Churchill was voted Greatest Briton by the public, do you think that would happen today? In twenty years he has become a racist genocidal maniac, even being called a Fascist, which is somewhat ironic, how did that happen? They are also targeting statues and renaming roads, rewriting our history (have you seen Horrible Histories?), inserting coloured people into everything to try and retell history and pretend that Britain has always been "multicultural" which is just not true. They haven't got to the dates yet, but that will come.

@jimjones-bk2is OK.

@jimjones-bk2is Make your mind up.

There is also a possible war in Africa over the Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. Ethiopia now can control the flow of water in the Nile which is upsetting Egypt and Sudan especially. The Chinese are heavily involved in the region in many projects so if war broke out they would most likely intervene in some way so it could be a big mess there too.

Hallowe'en is an ancient act to scare away evil spirits. The first of November is All Hallows Day, or All Saints day if you prefer. In order to make sure that the Saints were not disturbed by evil spirits on their day, people would try and scare them away by dressing up in costumes on the Hallow's eve, hence Hallowe'en. We all used to do it when I was young, and we would knock on all doors not just people we knew. But you didn't just stand at the door and get a handout, you had to go in the front room and perform something, a poem, or sing a verse of a song, or recite something or other, otherwise no sweeties !! There were other traditions, dooking for Apples, which involved leaning over the back of a chair, holding a fork in your teeth with which you tried to let go and stab apples floating in a bucket or a tin bath. Now they just do this trick or treat thing, which came from the USA, nothing to do with our traditions. All the effort has been removed as usual in the modern world, just gimme the sweets !!

Of course he had to object and speak up. If he didn't like playing the songs he could just have said no thanks I don't want to play. Or he could have been more discreet and said he had another engagement already booked. No, instead he obviously wants to carry on with the gig but have it all changed to suit him, well bugger off mate.

Nonsense, racism is everywhere. Black Lives Matter is virtuous, but saying White Lives Matter, or All Lives Matter is Racism. How can that be? Then you have diversity and inclusion which prioritises everybody who is not white... Just a couple of examples, I'm afraid racism has not disappeared it is alive and well.

It's right we helped Ukrainian refugees, but I hope they will be going home as soon as the war is over. There's a lot of rebuilding to be done, they will be needed.

I think Suella Braverman will do a great job, I actually thought she was the best candidate from the starting field to replace Boris. Kemi Badenoch is also excellent and I like Kwasi Kwateng also. I don't think any of them are there for "diversity".

Beg to differ about 100 years since looting. There was a lot of looting during the war, 400 or so cases reported during the Blitz alone.

The right believe in freedom of the individual, the left believe in Collectivism, so logically, speaking far right would be extreme freedom, hardly any government or perhaps even no government, Anarchy even. The far left on the other hand believe on extreme collectivism, centralisation of power, lots of regulations and taxes, no free enterprise (you might get rich, and we can't have that, that would mean inequality). If I had to choose, I certainly wouldn't choose communism. Far right in media speak basically means you don't want to be assimilated into the collective and go along with their phoney narrative, which makes you a bad boy/girl/They-them.
