Peak District UK. Likes fairness & equality, dogs (especially rescues), books, baking& nature. Dislikes bullies, arrogance & greed. Will always side with the underdog.
Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.
Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.
That, right there, is the problem.

We may not have chlorinated chicken yet, but your fruit and veg is being fed chemicals banned by the EU, banned because they’re harmful.
Avoid anything marked “not for EU”!

Watching nearly every political party in the UK chase the same 20% of the worst people in the country, ignoring the other 80%, just to please the papers.
Nothing will change in the UK until the papers are taken in hand. Not all the media, just the papers. The rest will flow from there.

Farage is a longstanding supporter of a private healthcare and insurance model with the NHS retained as a low quality bare minimum service for the poor. Anyone old or with an expensive to insure condition would be mad to vote for him.
Nigel Farage still insisting that he has "never ever, ever suggested anything other than the NHS should be free".
Here's what he's said in the past behind closed doors

Focus on short-term profits, cut wages/staff, low investment, poor care.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy suspends UK-Israel trade negotiations and summons the Israeli ambassador over IDF actions in Gaza, which he says are "incompatible with the principles that underpin our bilateral relations" and an "affront to the values of the British people."

Labour are teaching us that if you have over 400 MPs and are in the first year of government, so no need for elections until 2029, you should definitely focus your policies on what a party with five MPs is calling for, rather than doing what's best for the country,

All of us.... every single last one of us... are descended from immigrants. And without it, this country would just be a bunch of uninhabited islands on the edge of the world. Everything that built this country... and everything it is... springs from that. And we should embrace it, not decry it.

Here is the Sun's pitifully small apology for its lie about benefits tourism - a lie that was accepted as truth by millions and helped deliver Brexit.

So apparently 22 (so far) elected Reform councillors aren’t taking up their roles. For one reason or another. That’s close to £250k of costs to run an election to replace them. They should be made to bear this cost personally.

The government’s abject surrender in the immigration conversation will not necessarily lose them votes. But it won’t win any either because a) for good
or for ill, the small boats are the really emotive issue & b) people who simply resent immigrants will always favour Farage. He’s one of their own.
