Fartage is not going to like this

I agree with that fully. I will be perfectly honest I really dislikes Boris Johnson but I'll admit that he had a way to appear charismatic and friendly. But farage? No. He comes across as smug and arrogant.

I don't think there is any charisma there at all. All there is is a man with the balls to be quite publicly horrible and a lot of people. Racists, bigots, idiots and selfish people love it because it's someone who shares their racism, their bigotry and their selfishness and they feel validated to share their own equally horrid views because a proper politician does it.

Make no mistake. Publicly spreading hate and acting selfishly may get you votes from equally selfish people but it certainly isn't charisma.

Going on TV and telling people to look for another job isn't being charismatic. It's being a selfish lovely person

I know loads of people that voted Reform, Doug 82yrs old been a labour voter all his life, from Rotherham, ex shop keeper.
Bill, 77, another thats abandoned the sinking ship, coach driver all his life an a Labour voter through an through from Castleford.
Andy, 67, an Steve, 72, ex coppers both Conservative, now voting Reform,
Collin, 75, non voter, voted for the first time with his wife, Reform,
Dan 37, Labour, sarnds exactly the same as all the Aggressive posters on ere if anybody mentions immigrants, voted Reform this time an said he wouldnt go back to Labour unless a big overhaul was done,
Anne, Alan John, Kitty the Farmer, Ian, Sue, Martin, Jim an little Sue all voted Reform all aged 50plus

I wouldnt say any of em wer Racists but i'm sure the Aggressive on ere would tarnish em. I might even vote in the next General Election, Raving Looonies for me, it'll tek a foookin Loooney to sort this Country out. I wouldnt dare vote Reform, i'd av to wear a Brodie every time i logged on. Value all your feedback, digging a trench as i sign off.

 

No surprise all but one are above 50. You may not consider any of them racists but I'd bet good money that some of them are.

 

Here we go, no doubt they are all Racists now, i just look at em the same an their Political persuasion is nowt to do with me.

 

Not saying they're all racists, but i think you'd struggle to find 13 over 50 Reform voters and not have a single racist amongst them.

 

What do you think attracts them to Reform? Which policies to do you reckon they're behind?

Is it the zero hour contracts? The backing of fire and rehire? Scrapping net zero? Leaving the European Court of Human Rights?

Or something else?

 

Scrapping net zero genuinely will be one of them and leaving the European court of human rights too because a lot are selfish and believe that trying to save the planet for future generations isnt their problem. I was actually told at the last home game "we'll be dead before the planets ****** anyway" well yeah you're in your 70s

 

No idea and i couldnt care less,

 

Fair play mate.

I wish I could be so blasé about something so important to us all.

You reds.

 

I suspect that these people who may vote Reform might think that the country cannot sustain an extra million people coming to live here each year.

I agree with them.

I doubt that they know any other Reform policies. Cos I don’t.

 

Not me Super Tyke 62, an loving life,

 

Yeah we're flooded with them aren't we. There's 15k empty seats at Oakwell every other week. Lob them in the West Stand.

 

What a silly post. I'll not bother with you henceforth.

 

Judging from your initial post, it's probably for the best.

 

Why is it that people fall out over Politics,

 

I can't speak for anyone else, but it's a hatred of racism and xenophobia for me.

I can't abide the "you're not from round here go home" attitude.

 

And the worrying thing is they don't care.
They don't care about all the other horrendous or crazy policies that will hugely affect them far more than a few foreigners in the neighbourhood.
They'll tick that box and sign it all away to Refuk cos "one of us" Nige told them to, just like Brexit.

 

The clique

No mention of another starmer U turn? Maybe thus board should have a daily starmer thread?

 

Is that the CorbynLovers,
The StarmerApologists
Or The RefukFascists
?
