I love LFC. I'm a socialist, anti racist, retired trade unionist. I like reading, films, food, paddle boarding, animals. I used to enjoy a cig and a glass of wine but had to quit both for health reasons (sigh).
Carswell is a nasty little racist. Good decent people like Olympic athlete Mo Farah, or our Egyptian King Mo Salah or any of the heroes keeping our NHS running are worth more to this country than he will ever be.

If billionaire media owners happily promote a right wing radical, it's because there's something in it for them, deregulation, tax breaks, etc. Better to have the working class attacking migrants and each other than them turning on the rich and powerful. As the saying goes "follow the money".

There's also NF's plans to move to insurance based health care and a means tested state pension. Bye bye universal welfare state if NF gets elected.

We would also lose free health care at the point of access as Farage favours an insurance based scheme; state pensions would be means tested along the lines of the Australian model. Voting for ReformYUK is like turkeys voting for Christmas.

Yep. And other stuff too. If you haven't already, join an anti racism group and get involved in activities in your area.

So protesting against genocide of Palestinians is terrorism but modern day lynch mobs outside hotels hosting refugees is perfectly fine?! The UK has become a frankenstine of a country.

Meanwhile vilified asylum seekers in my area are going around litter picking, quietly getting on with doing something for the local community, doing no harm to anyone.

Exactly! The last 15+ yrs saw a huge transfer of wealth to the already wealthy. Result is record numbers of homelessness and Victorian levels of poverty v. record numbers of millionaires and billionaires who fund politicians who say 'don't look at us, look at them'.
