It?s a strategy that hasn?t worked out too well for them.

A few years ago, the taxpayers of Bedfordshire were asked if they would like to pay a few quid extra for additional policing and said no. It?s possible, I suppose that they were all very happy with the policing of the county, but I suspect that they were not but thought someone else should pay:

Whether it?s ?low tax ? quality services? or ?Brexit is the answer to everything? it?s clear that the only thing that the British electorate can be relied upon for is their willingness to accept obvious lies

The current lie is that ?curbing immigration is the answer to everything' (sold to you by the same people who sold you the huge success that is Brexit).
The same people who sold Brexit seems to have struck a chord with the current PM who showed the country his inner Enoch only last week , " a country full of strangers " no less .

I suspect the UK electorate now vote with a party they most identify with rather than listen to the infinity of lies they receive from the major party's .

It just turns out Reform haven't any previous as yet so they can't actually lie .

Mind you they'd do well to keep up with the current PM in a game of lies contest .

From his Labour leadership campaign right through to number 10 the man has hardly spoken a true word .

Your old mucker at the CPS is just as slippery and untrustworthy as the honourable member for Clacton , it's just that you don't identify with Farage .
