We've tried the others and they got us where we are. 

Wish me luck, I'm going to drive my car today come hell or high water. I need to get out and about a bit, I am going nuts stuck at home, going to make a latte and drive over to do a bit of wave watching, will plonk myself on a seat and get some sea air too.

Quote from: klondike on November 30, 2025, 09:19:02 AMI thought you weren't all that sure of Farage?

I have always said that I do not like Farage the man.. There is something about him that I do not like..

However .. REFORM are the only party.. In my opinion, that care about the country... and who the majority are living in this country..

As Klon says, all of the long-standing parties have their drawbacks and, in some cases, have already demonstrated their lack of competence.
Yes, Gran points out quite correctly that some organisations, such as the civil service, the judiciary and the benefits system, the latter now dishing out benefits hand over fist to the illegals who should not even be here.
These problems have been in existence since around 1990, that's 35 years of damage by our so-called 'two main parties'.
Raven correctly points out that there are far fewer jobs for people to take up today, but I wonder how much of that problem has been created by the mismanagement of our past governments.

Reform will have a lot on their hands to attempt to undo all of this damage, it having been created and increased over such a long time.

I am worried that, because they have only four or five years to put everything right and, I am sure, being opposed by all the left: politicians, civil service, judges, and all the other presently overladen organisations which will simply act only to stand up for themselves, their long-needed success might not be achieved.

What will happen then?  Who will be elected next?  The emerging muslim party?
I am sure that we are looking forward to a continuation of the mess we are presently experiencing, though I sincerely hope that Reform can stop the rot.

Absolutely!
Yes, of course I understand that the Frogs don't want them any more than anyone else does, so why not pack them off to Britain?
But then they happily take the £millions our incompetent leaders send them... for nothing.

While I agree with you GM it worries me as to where these jobs are for them to do, there aren't nearly as many as when we left school for one reason or other.
Attitudes of the young changed as well, somewhere along the line, our generation couldn't wait to leave school and start earning, Yes some are still like that but most aren't wanting to work.
More and more jobs are now being done by machines and employers don't/can't pay decent salaries. I really don't like the way things are going.

Fanny thought now should I scream
Or is this all a wishful dream
She shook her head and blinked again
Was he real, or was she going insane
Were things really as they seemed?

Fanny gave her head another shake
Now she really was awake
And saw draped on her bedroom door
A long red towel from the night before
Her dream was very much half baked.

The Civil Service, the Judiciary, much of the public sector will need to change.  I think it will only work for Reform in some sort of deal with the Tories.   I too hope it's not too late.

We need to get back to some sort of contributory system for benefits.  Action must be taken to address the lack of child support from so many absent parents, usually fathers. And every 16, 17, 18 year old not in education must work.  

Obviously those with severe disabilities are exempt.  But just not working should never be a choice.  When I think back to colleagues I've had who had all sorts of disabilities, I don't know how leadswingers get away with it.  Rant over.
