Infected by the Remainer Mind Virus!
Brexshit. 💩
It's just pure agitation.
Flooding the zone stuff.

Yet again there's more anger and turmoil after 14 years of Tory rule degrading and depleting national institutions from being able to function on a basic level.

Ironically, those that put the Tories in power and championed damaging policies like Austerity and Brexit are the most vocal currently.

Looks great.
Would love to revisit Black Flag, Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2 for a nostalgic hit on this.

It's a repeat of 2008.
It's an omen!

BBC Politics seems continually obsessed with crafting a disruptor narrative for Reform and Brexit just for clicks and lols.

They've been at it since 2010.

It gave Leave legitimacy.
They gave legitimacy to Johnson and the ERG.

It's tedious and obvious.

Yeah it's a bit strange.

That's all true. Having experienced living in Stoke and then witnessing the politics of post 2008 to now, Stoke was one of the first patient zeros to show the future UK in times of economic stress.

Labour missed opportunity from 1997 to stop it. Sadly they'll miss it again.

Reform a threat now.

I grew up in Stoke on Trent. Years of drifting far right.
BNP then UKIP then Brexit and Johnson (well actually Jonathan Gullis)...now Reform territory.

Basically they're displaying massive levels of pure unadulterated ignorance.

Oh that's priceless.
Didn't have that on my advent calendar 😃

Best quote...

"Is there anyone that has a good word to say about him? Yes, but his mother is reconsidering"

Genuinely one of the most interesting podcasts I've listened to for ages

Love it as a companion piece to this

That was my view before the 2019 election when the same Leave voters then doubled down and voted for Get Brexit Done Johnson....and now vote for the private company Reform.

We're at a point where you have to think they're being genuinely and knowingly ignorant.

7. Nationalise key industries
8. Scrap Universal Credit
9. Abolish private schools' charitable status
10. Free bus travel for under-25s
11. Give EU nationals the right to remain
12. Build 100,000 council homes a year

And your complaints?

There's some fancy words.

But the reality is the actual manifesto

1. Increase health budget by 4.3%
2. Hold a second referendum on Brexit
3. Raise minimum wage from £8.21 to £10
4. Stop state pension age rises
5. Introduce a National Care Service
6. Bring forward net-zero target

Always impressed by young talent. 😊👍

It's oddly not that dissimilar.
Look at what happened in the 1930s...in the US!
