So someone who is part of anti-corruption is corrupt. I wonder how much of the public purse is being washed in Bangladesh.

Council elections are the next best thing to get rid of some Labour power. Over 10 years ago or so UKIP won one seat but gained nearly all the local councils.

Wouldn't matter if it was Labour,Tories or Ukip...corruption in politics is here to stay. Normalised by Johnson, Farage, Trump, yes and Blair. You wont eradicate it until the entire system is carved up and rebuilt. Guy Fawkes had the right ideas, he just went about it the wrong way. Show me anyone who is not corrupted in power and I'll give you 10 bob. I know I will not be 10 bob poorer.

Certainly don't recall that!

A link?

I had a false memory of 2015 Barney.

UKIP got 161 seats but no council, which still worried the media and the establishment. When Farage left UKIP crumbled.

Gerad Batton is right about Farage. He is a Tory, and he wants the Tories to come to him. Richard Tice has also alienated the working classes.

Farage is controlled and paid opposition and a knob.

No link! Just more sarcasm and irony? 🤨

It's always worth remembering that Nigel Farage is very much a part of the fixtures and fittings of the Establishment no matter how hard he tries to pretend otherwise. As long as people understand this then fine.

He's in a delicate balancing act at the moment between keeping his core supporters satisfied and the need to harvest the enormous potential vote out there up for grabs for Reform UK's agenda. Some of the critics need to understand this too. If he wants to get himself or Reform anywhere near the levers of day to day power it will take raw politics and not air headed idealism and total unconditional purity.

You want power for the Reform agenda or not?

If Reform were in power they would do nothing. Farage admitted to helping the Tories for not standing in 2016.

He is blue through and through.

Surely Independents. Reform and Greens will do well.

Any punch in the nose for Labour is fine by me. Might really signal the end of Starmer and the rise of Streeting.

Does anyone know where the odious and empty vessel Starmer stands on anything in the whole Labour firmament? Is he aligned as a Blairite, Brownite, Bennite or what? I've no idea. I guess we can rule out Corbynite. I heard someone try to align him as the new Jim Callaghan recently. On what basis I have not a clue. What an insult to a statesman like Sunny Jim who held all four big offices of state.

Starmer want's to be like the Chinese Commie the West call Winnie the Pooh.

Are the government really scared of losing the Muslim vote...why so many cover ups and gaslighting?

Starmer watched on as innocent people were jailed for Tweets; when he knew they were right what they were saying.

Peter Lynch deserves a posthumous pardon.

Should I blame the carboot vendor the hammer he sold me, fell off my workbench and causing the toe and toenail to black?

The media are scared to upset religious groups so they blame Amazon instead.

I wonder if Labour voters have buyer's remorse, I know a few Labour voters who now deny voting for them.

the closest is New Labour under Blair and Blair is his mentor.

Odd that someone would compare him TO Jim Callaghan who was old school Labour.

Why are we hearing nothing about the court of appeal regards so many of these summer convictions and disproportionate sentences?

The establishment will have to admit they fucked up. They don't like showing weakness, they may get a payoff to keep silent (NDAs) and go back to their jobs again.

One guy has a job to go to after he has done his time, his employer went to the trial. Not many employers are like that.

No one is believing the Amazon headlines, also Axel took a knife to school 10 times.

There was a stabbing in Plymouth, London busses attract dangerous loons with blades, there was a stabbing in ASDA, and a stabbing in Germany again. Not really rare now Cat.

People went on and on about America having a gun culture. It seems people from religion (men with beards) have a thing for knives and little care for human life.

In Islamic countries, it's ok to stone your wife.

Also if a dog bites a child, the dog gets destroyed.

Why can't we do that to Axel? It will save the taxpayer millions of pounds or put in a general wing with the other nutters, nature always sorts itself out.
