This is hilarious, why is Matt Goodwin bellowing "CRACK COCAINE AND HEROINE!" at random bridges and empty industrial estates?
Is it a #Reform sales pitch? 🤣🤣🤣

When I lived in Japan, far-right parties used to drive around blaring out propaganda from loudspeaker vans. People saw them as public nuisances at best, dangerous nutters at worst. Interesting to see Matt Goodwin adopt the same strategy.

Laila Cunningham, Reform UK was invited to speak at the Oxford Union about Churchill.
In her opening remarks she said “I didn’t go to Oxford … I didn’t read books … so I don’t come with facts, I don’t come with dates … I come with rhetoric”
Astonishingly it only got worse from there.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

There are far more voters than ICE agents. People should plan to stay at their polling place all day. Make it a party. Meet your neighbors. Talk politics. Gather food trucks. Make it a safe place for voters who are nervous. ICE agents always back off when they are outnumbered.

I'm not especially opposed to driverless cabs, but I'm fucked if I'm giving up my ancestral British right to cross the road anywhere if it's safe for me to do so. "Jaywalking" isn't a thing or a crime here, techbros, so your magic cars will have to learn to deal with that.

Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law.
