Certainly not Farage.

I have seen a number of people make the 'certainly not Farage' comment, but unfortunately without any logical explanation for making it! 
Could it be, "I just don't like the man"?

I agree.. people say  'Not Farage'.. 
I am sure they mean 'I just don't like the man'

I am guilty of this..  But I do and will continue to vote Reform..
Don't ask me.. I know nuffink..

My cousins son has just been elected as a Reform councillor by more than double the labour candidate .

They say,.... cometh the moment, cometh the man, but where from?

What don't you like about Nigel Farage  ?

That was my real question.  Strangely, I never seem to receive a genuine answer!
This is the man who could be our only chance to save Britain.

There are plenty that don't like Reform politics. Then there are those who are unused to politicians giving an answer to questions put to them rather than answering a question they wish had been asked instead. That certainly puts BBC interviewers on the back foot.

I must add that I voted for Reform UK in my local area, but the majority vote was for the Limp Dems.
They have kept the roads updated, I suppose, and are OK as a local authority.

That highlights what I see as a potential problem for Reform. All councils have budget issues because the central funding barely covers all the legal obligations councils face. I'll pretty much guarantee that virtually none of the Reform councillors will have any previous experience of being a councilor and any council that Reform controls  that has any problems will be jumped on for sure by those that disagree with Reform politics.

Hopefully those voting in Reform councils won't have any cause to regret it or votes will melt away despite the likelihood that none of the other parties would make a better job of running the council.

He is a racist bigot with fascist tendencies. And a Trump glove puppet.

He's certainly not a racist that is proven.  Bigot ?  would that be like the woman Gordon Brown called a bigot because she dared to question him on crime and immigration  ?  As for fascist, people are called fascist too often these days, it trivialises the horrors carried out by real fascists.
I'd agree he is an admirer of Donald Trump.
