I suppose Reform could turn out to be the lesser of all evils, which would be logically acceptable.  However, I feel that Reform will (if elected to government) begin to restore much good of what this our country once possessed.  Exactly how much they can eventually put right is anybody's guess, but I can think of no other political party which could do better.

It's cheaper than equipping the Armed Forces with the equipment they need. It's just numbers,..look at us our Army, Navy andRAF are really huge. The fact we don't have the right equipment for them is irrelevant 

My son told me about this yesterday .
He is an army reservist and thought he was safe from being recalled but now they have put the age up to 55 and apparently in 2027 it will go up to 65 .

What does this tell us ?
Is there going to have a war ?

The lesser of all evils JBR?

" We failed the moral test of 9/11. 25 years on, the West is overrun with Islamist freaks. Our young sing the praises of Islamist armies like Hamas. And anyone who says Islamism is evil is branded Islamophobic. Oh God what have we done?, asks Brendan O'Neill"

I'm beginning to calm down about these, and other, recent changes to our once-proud country.

I'm not sure how many years I have left.  I am 74 and have several medical conditions including Type 2 diabetes, a pacemaker, and on five daily oral medications.
I'm perfectly happy at the moment, though, but the things that are now happening in this country, since Labour took control, especially our being "overrun with islamist freaks", are beginning to make me wonder what the next few years will bring.

Whatever happens, I am concerned for my wife, who is nine years younger than me and, of course, other decent British people.  

There is nothing I can do other than vote for Reform UK in, or hopefully before, 2029.

All three, depending on the phases of the moon? 😬
