SHE WAS SHELL-SHOCKED ... She has never interviewed a 'politician' who says what he truely believes.

[@benedictcowell6547]

This is rubbish you write. Angela Merkel, Biden, Novalny were politicians, one was the best chancellor has had, the other died for the Truth but a politician.. It would help if we had an educated electorate and a respectable Media, and an education system which produced people how to think She, who ever she is, talks rubbish . How do I know? Because you quote her and agree with her,, evidence enough I think. The English do not go in for thought, they do not form opinions thy Imbibe attitudes from liars .You should choose your politicians. It goes without saying that a man who sold Brexit is not a politician to choose and support.

You can choose your words carefully without swallowing a thesaurus or going to Oxford. Plus Nigel’s suggestion that ‘working class people need leeway because they don’t have the right words’ is downright patronising.

[@Subbby]

@@ChrisJones-ht9znhe may not be an economist, but by god he makes perfect sense when he talks

[@ChrisJones-ht9zn]

@@Subbby what he doesn't mention of course is that cutting off your nearest and largest trading partner was the most stupid basic economic failing of Brexit. Anyone with a brain knows that the only way to return to growth is to rejoin to free trade with Europe. Anyone who tells you anything else is lying. Oh, yeah and maybe stop businesses from being able to hire migrants by offering them incentives to undercut the wages of British workers. He also doesn't mention that Brexit is also the reason why we have largely swapped migration from Europe with migration from the middle East, Africa and India. And reform UK's solution? Remove human rights from every British citizen. History shows us that populist right wing parties do nothing for the working classes, other than divide them by blaming a country's failings on the most vulnerable in society. Richard Rice and Nigel Farage always talk about the establishment. They are the establishment. Privately educated millionaires and multi millionaires like Richard Twice do not have the the interests of working class people at heart. They promote decisive policies as an easy way to gain votes, when their true interest lies in reducing human rights and legislation that allows their multi millionaire friends to make more money from unregulated financial systems. It's one big con, as was Brexit. They lied to you once and they are lying again. They will never stop lying to you.

The interviewer does not accept there is a problem with the levels of immigration into the UK. That really would be the end of the interview if I was involved. She came over as a complete snob. She simply does not appear to have any respect for those who are expressing views described in this interview by Nigel. From Nigel: "How much worse can it be?". "They lied at every election". That is how I feel.

Kate Andrews the USA lady who works for a right-wing think tank that wants to abolish the NHS interviews an un-elected man who is also right wing on a right wing channel, there's a surprise. Jeremy Corbyn the far-left? But Reform UK cannot be called far-right!? That's why many vote for independents, greens, UKIP, or even Reform, but every vote for Reform means less seats for Conservatives and more for Labour up to 60 more for Labour if polls are to be believed, the Reform UK party are right-wing populists led by a millionaire business man and are registered company not a political party! They want to cut taxes to help the rich, cut immigration to hurt businesses and do little to help ordinary people or offer practical solutions, even Farage admits Brexit has failed, he's also a bigger supporter of Trump. Do you REFORM UK voters support Trump and his wicked ways? Right-wing populism or far-right or indeed far-left politics are not the answer to the UK's or any other nations problems.

[@MicheleLLOYD-bk2mt]

Democracy….. ahhh. Don’t you just LOVE IT ! ? A land where government DOES what the people actually WANT & NEED ! Oh dear…You NEVER had that mate. NEVER will. BECAUSE…You have the WRONG political system. Maybe it was a good idea 300 years ago, but not for today nor tomorrow. It generally attracts the wrong sort of people for a start!. I mean, just look at their schoolyard behaviour where “point scoring” put-downs of other elected members of parliament is considered a “win”! Essentially most of them are “bully salesmen” who try to persuade and bribe you, that ONLY THEIR ideas are great (vote for MEEEE). Sadly, ALL parties do the same - Was designed to be like that !! The notion that ALL the PEOPLE HAVE CLEAR NEEDS is not even considered!!. Another childhood dream is that “Competition” yields the best results! This has some truth, but only in the very short term!. COOPERATION YIELDS THE BEST CONTINUOUS SUSTAINABLE IMPROVEMENTS. JUST PROGRESS LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE . Establish a national “Register of Visions” summarising the Will of the People. (Health, Housing, Education, Employment, Crime & Safety, Drugs, Immigration, Taxation, Societal Cohesion, Foreign Affairs, Welfare, Trade & Industry, etc etc ). A register Established at census time for each Voter - with real-time Web access for timely updates like Gaza, Ukraine etc etc ad nauseam. And don’t worry, AI will make short work of creating a succinct coherent unambiguous statement of requirements from the millions of Vision submissions! Certainly a BETTER WAY for the Nation. (Unless of course you are already part of the 1% thriving/thieving elite , then yes, you will experience a relative decline in your unwarranted privilege, decadence and legalised theft!). At the moment, China looks remarkably democratic when compared with you lot !
