Election Year or Fear!

Hmmm, says the man who wrongly predicted Starmer?s political demise and also told us to ?watch and learn? from Forest.
How?s that one working out? I think we all already knew that sacking your best manager in years was a really bad idea.
You also need to tread carefully regarding that Rayner suggestion of yours. She resigned. Whether she was ?tax dodging? or made a mistake remains to be proved.

. She resigned RA. It?s clear she was not on the path of righteousness.
All politicians get dirty mitts.
The irony of Rayner, was her spitting venom at Tory sleeze etc.
Turns out even being paid a fortune by unions wasn?t enough for potty mouth. Let?s also add in the public protection for her boyfriend and moving his goods around in government BMW X5s shall we for good measure. Or should I be careful?

Looks like Richard Tice has been stating Starmer said things he didn't in his speech.

Outright lies it would seem, but as they say , how do you know a reform politician is lying?, he's speaking.

Only the other day Reform claim no one even knows who Nathan Gill is, despite Farage clearly knowing him very well.

Rather good (though not for the long suffering people of Argentina) to see that Javier Milei, who has been cited by trump, Farage and Badenoch as the template for "good government" is now in deep crisis, as Argentina's economy slumps.

Javier Milei is “amazing”, said Farage, the CEO of the private company he calls Reform. “Cutting and slashing … doing all the things he’s done … that’s leadership.”

Funny, now Trump is using US tax payer money to prop up Milei's government, that the previous fans on the right are staying silent about this!

"to make sure its not only the views of the misinformed and blinkered that are posted"

......by posting contrary blinkered and often misinformed opinions of your own?

"that some more impressionable posters might think "

where and who are all these impressionable posters? There are probably nor more regular contributers to this platform than I have toes on my feet (now sadly 9). i'd say maybe 9 of those 9 have long atanding polarised opinions of their own and are unlikely to budge an inch bacause anybody posts anything on here.

So dont delude yourself, you post on here to amuse yourself, take the p*iss and forment anger hence a response. Nothing wrong with that, I do it myself, but just be honest with yourself about motivation

I don't post on here to forment anger, I admit to taking the piss, its hard not to when such bilge is routinely posted by some people.

Some might not budge an inch, but when their inaccurate and misleading posts are effectively challenged, its not hard to tell that its had an impact.

My post was in any case a tongue in cheek response to Mr Faber whose statements have been roundly shown to be *******s of late and who was trying to make out I give a flying **** about him

Of course Farage putting his house (which he claimed he had bought) in his girlfriends name is tax dodging, but legally so.

[Geoff Parkstone]

Well it is until she tells him to do one and keeps it for herself and her new younger lover

[SithHappens]

True that.

In other news Kemi justification for wanting to leave the ECHR is because America and Canada aren't in it

Ermmm

There?s no such thing as legal tax dodging Sith. There?s tax PLANNING, which is legal, which we all do, and NF may have done that, or theres tax DODGING, and if he?s done that he deserves what he gets

Not sure planning is the word. Probably avoidance, which is defined as legal way of not paying tax
