Bonkers Britain

With so many defecting from Labour or Conservative over to Reform,  it just means that at the next election, assuming Reform get in,  we will have voted for the same lot of no-goods all over again!

[GrannyMac]

Yep. Would only take about 100 for that to happen. Perhaps they'll go on benefits instead as few of them could get a proper job.

That's true.  Some will never have had one.

Farage is well aware of that and I said a few days back that I wasn't keen on too many Tories but Reform is a bit stuck - they need people with some experience in the actual job of being a government so the pot will 100% have to include some old faces.

I saw a video by Andrew Neil yesterday - he says there is some well known ex-Labour MP rumoured to be on his way to Reform. The phrase ex-Labour MP says it isn't a current one. Perhaps it's Andy Burnham

In other words it's the same old, same old. Vote Reform and if they should win then you get the same lot that caused the mess in the first place. But under another name.  No Thanks.

Yes,  that's exactly  what I meant earlier.

So who will you two be voting for then? Somebody new? I know Raven won't obviously.

[Raven]

I will vote for those who care about Scotland of course, I always will unless there suddenly is a party in Westminster, that actually does.
You all know my views, they will not change no matter what anyone says. I won't argue about it, that's just how I've always felt and the way things stand, there won't be any change from Westminster anytime soon.

It has been reported that with the internet black out in Iran lots of accounts supporting Scottish Independence and slagging off the U.K. went dark .

That is to imply that many were false accounts originating from overseas .

Do you think this might be true ? 

[Raven]

I've no idea Muddy, I saw on the News about the Internet being stopped but nothing else.
Then I don't follow the News and Politics the way yourself and several others do.

Fair play.  I wonder though if lots of SNP supporters would feel the same if they were earning more than minimum wage?  Someone on £30k and over pays more income tax in Scotland than in England or Wales. 

If I was in Scotland, I'd have much more spent on me, by the UK government, than if I was in NI, Scotland or Wales.  The only part of England with comparable public spending is London.   Perhaps Reform plan to equalise it?
