Well he’s right isn’t he? Britain is broken, its down to the last Tory Government, and now Labour are making an even bigger hash of it!!

[@stephenjon3502]

Of course it was all going to get sorted in 2 months 😂

[@davidcooks2379]

Exactly! It's ridiculous that we keep electing the uniparty

[@mhtbfecsq1]

Yes Britain is broken because of Farage and his friends in the Tories. And how can it be possible that Labour after 11 weeks are doing worse than a Tory government who were in power for 14 YEARS and have a record of causing pure destruction and devastation and doing NOTHING good the entire time, while also engaging in egregious corruption, rule breaking and self serving political trickery the whole time too. They caused a record drop in living standards, hundreds of thousands (if not millions of EXCESS deaths), the near total collapse of all public services, highest taxes in 75 years, made us the sick man and laughing stock of europe etc.. the depressing list goes on.

[@MartyJackson]

No, the truth isn’t racist. Farage, Robinson and most their supporters are very much racist though. Sadly half of them aren’t hateful in their hearts, they’ve just been brainwashed into hating others to deflect from blaming those in power for their troubles. Will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re the latter.

[@anvilhead0]

He’s the man largely responsible for it.

[@ExoplasmicDischarge]

Yes the man who's never been in power is responsible for how bad things are. Clap. Maybe get off your stupid horse and hold every corrupt authority accountable. You'd find things would improve quickly. But I'm sure flinging dirt and opposing political opinions is easier. Coward.

[@rosemarywoolley8394]

How? He has not had any power. If your talking about Brexit he saved Britain from dictatorship. We now have our own dictatorship that he needs to save us from.

[@anvilhead0]

@@rosemarywoolley8394 Yes I am talking about Brexit, biggest disaster for Britain since WW2. I’m afraid he is part of the rich elite, and doesn’t have a thought for ordinary people, and yes I’m well aware that Starmer is too.

[@youtoob1811]

Only very stupid people think Brexit has had anything to do with Britains decline in recent years. Tory infighting, Lockdowns and the subsequent £400 billion in funny money being printed have a lot more to do with it.

[@gerardscott5815]

Sounds like something from Trump's playbook. The place is broke and only I know how to fix it.

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

Well, if you’re brave enough, pray step forth and help fix it.

[@ExoplasmicDischarge]

And is that wrong? Not like every other politician would say the same thing. Maybe you should be holding them all accountable instead of selecting them based on opposing views.

[@raoulmoat6762]

We need a Trump in Britain!

[@michaelsinclair2510]

Hard to believe that people give him this platform - the media too (as he sells) - when he was a major cause in the UK’s current ruination. Conceited, arrogant and narcissistic, people like him are popularists these days, which is understandable given the very poor political management of our entire system. He has, in a way singlehandedly, but along with Johnson, diminished this counrty politically and economically.

[@briangillligan7886]

And no racism in the rebranded NF?

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

Not racist to point out that untrammelled mass migration is wrecking this once great country and destroying its unique culture.
