On the eve of the #localelections thank you @privateeyenews.bsky.social for absolutely nailing the weapons-grade, rock-solid, brain-melting idiocy of voting for Farage and Reform…
Reform projected to do brilliantly in mayoral contests IN SHOCKING news many of the people who thought their lives would get better after Brexit are going to be voting for a party led by the man who told them Brexit would solve all Britain's problems. "It just makes sense,” said one voter, whose personal income had been hammered by a drop-off of trade with Europe, by the government having less money to spend and by an overall lack of economic growth. "This guy tells it like it is - he blames someone else and denies all responsibility. We should be punishing the government for not making my life better - and to do that, I'll be voting for someone who has made my life worse." Many thousands of others have decided that they will make a vote to protest against the mainstream, and, in order to register their disapproval, they will vote for a man who's been a professional politician for several decades and earned millions of pounds off the back of it. "This is the way to show those mainstream politicians what's what," said one voter, casting a ballot for arguably the most influential British politician of the last three decades. "This will turn everything round."

I met a fella once who'd been reported as dead to DWP. I would have loved to go to that appeal hearing.
