  1. You could stop at "They don't like Nigel Farage".

  2. Proof positive of the adage "No fool like an old fool".

  3.  @colinmelling6369  Old people have voted before. They form the core of the Conservative vote and they know exactly what they are doing.

  4. @happytimes6113 I hate to break it to you, but this present government has raised the state pension to the point that anyone who has paid into a second work-related pension is already being taxed.

  5. If he has any sense, he will not land anywhere. His best hope is to try to stay as the MP for Yarmouth.

  6. Yes indeed. By voting for Reform you have just proved that some people are gullible.

  7.  @MrKarlyboy  Or completely losing the plot.

  8.  @bwilliams572  No, it means losing touch with reality, and thinking that a quintet of MPs is the future of British politics.

  9. Conspiracy theory alert.

  10. "all of us" being how many? Three?

  11. And pigs will fly in the skies above Westminster.

  12. If you are concerned about the plight of the working class, then George Galloway's Workers Party of Britain is your natural home, not Reform UK Ltd - now down to three millionaires and a girlfriend kicker.

  13. The mainstream media had more important things to cover.

  14. It sounds as if you have a very sensible wife. You should treasure her.

  15.  @janetevans4176  You mean "accept" dear, and you are wrong. The royal family is supported by the Sovereign Grant, which is a percentage of the revenue from the Crown Estate. At resent it is 25%, but in 2027 it will drop to 15%. The rest of the revenue from the Crown estate is administered by the government.

  16. Is Tice back from Dubai?

  17.  @johnkemp4922  The "kick in the teeth" approach works very well at by-elections. The SNP used it for years, but in a General Election, particularly one whose result is as clear cut as this one will be, it does not work at all. On the fifth of July, the headlines will be about Labour's 400+ new MPs, not about how many votes Reform managed to scrape together.

  18.  @sysasst670  Then you are doing just what you claim you do not want to do. Reform is UKIP - same old wine, new label.

  19.  @anonnemo2504  No, that is most definitely special pleading. If Reform want to be taken seriously as a party (joke1) they have to denounce his views and replace him ASAP.

  20. Too late, It happened.

  21.  @marywwilliams7740  It is important because semi-literate bigotry only increases that sadness.

  22.  @bally1213  I am not the one who just threw my vote away.

  23.  @mwhi475  Yes, really. LibLabCon will win seats.

  24.  @vincemarshall8550  There has been reasonable coverage of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine; of the South African election, of the current British general election and of the fallout falling the trial in New York. The original complaint was about the news, not about investigative journalism.

  25.  @theresam1963  If you are talking about Queen Camilla, it may surprise you to learn that neither her former husband nor her children from that marriage have been given any titles. So you can find something else to be outraged about.

  26.  @LissBee-n7p  In the context of this constant slagging of Sir Kier Starmer, calling someone right wing is not so much "predictable" as accurate.

  27.  @angelaregan475  Try talking to a farmer, or a fisherman, or someone who worked in a language school, or someone who is still looking for the 350 million pounds of the NHS and the "sunlit uplands" that we were promised.

  28. Conspiracy theory alert.

  29. Nothing like. Socialist Worker says 5000, and another estimate is about 7000.

  30.  @archiebald4717  I 'think traditional Labour voters are still loyal to Labour" because Labour are polling at 44% and Reform are at 12%.

  31.  @timcampbell2183  Immigration is "the number one issue" for Reform because that is really all they have got. Farage has managed, with some success, to explain away the failure of Brexit by blaming immigrants. For the other parties, I would argue, the state of the economy, the cost of living, the decline in public services and the Conservative Party's dismal record after 14 years in power are considerably more important.

  32.  @markgregory7140  I suggest that you give Reform too much credit. You assume they have an even semi-coherent economic policy.

  33.  @sunshine-qk8qe  The king has spoken at WEF - Yes. He has endorsed some of the WEF's, frankly, vague suggestions about how the world economy should be "reset" in the wake of the global COVID_19 pandemic. Many of these are entirely sensible - working from home; a "wealth tax" now marketed as a "windfall tax" on those companies which have benefitted from either the lockdown or the shortages caused by the War in Ukraine. When he suggests that "we could learn a lot from Islam" he is absolutely correct, but you are completely incorrect when you say he sent no greetings at Easter. He Attended church, and sent out a message on the official Tweeter account. What more do you want him to do? He can hardly bless the faithful from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

  34. Do you even know what the "Great Reset" refers to? Explain it for us.
    2
  35. No, you cannot beat the system. reform are going to get a lot of votes but virtually no seats. Then they will whine and bellyache until everybody is fed up with them, and until they realise that they have helped to elect a Labour government with a rock solid majority.

  36.  @Bluediamond200  If you are a British citizen, then he IS your king. You do not have any say in the matter. .

  37.  @pipster1891  Too true. So do not vote reform. The Reform candidate for Bexhill and Battle, Ian Gribbing, thinks the UK should have done a deal in 1940.

  38.  @anonnemo2504  I suppose it depends on the level of craziness. There is a major difference between a harmless eccentricity, and a positively twisted worldview.

  39.  @anonnemo2504  No, I was thinking more along the lines of Jeremy Corbyn's interest in manhole covers, or Boris Johnson making toy buses to amuse his children. As to your second question, the enactment of Sharia Law is a bogeyman to scare the already witless, and if you really believe that there are only two sexes, may I refer you to the late Irena and Tamara Press.

  40. The "mainstream media" (however defined) do not need an excuse to "pick holes" in Reform UK. The party exists as a vehicle for Nigel Farage's ego, and Ben Habib should have seen this coming.

  41.  @lisah9561  No. Given that probably the majority of those who actually provide the "socialised services" would not qualify. This is a non starter.

  42. What's stopping you? Why do you think the "they" are called "minorities"?

  43. @Capri-x8m The British like Kemi Badenoch, I assume?

  44.  @Bar_Steward  So you are ruling out the Welsh?

  45. To what did you not consent?

  46.  @dogsy273  You had better find a small, barely inhabited island then. You sound like one of those insane "sovereign citizens" who make fools of themselves in the USA.

  47. Why is it that xenophobes are so frequently semi literate? Questions, even rhetorical ones, should be punctuated with question marks, and there is a difference between "finally" and "finely" (sic).

  48.  @lindaridd4393  Do make up what passes for your mind. Are we under siege, or have we been invaded?
