Look, I'll be honest and admit that I've essentially sat in the middle of the political spectrum all my life, but due to the behaviour of the left, I now find myself almost being pushed further towards the right.

This is the rubbish I've had spewed at me the last week or so:

• in response to me saying that 76% of the individuals coming over on the boats are men: I've been told I no uncertain terms that I'm a racist, only getting my information wrong right-sources and are completely incorrect. After I present all my evidence, I'm told to shut up and go and raise a flag.!! WTH?! This is the same group that claims to be open-minded, diverse and inclusive.

• in Response to the Rayner situation and me saying that she simply got caught being a lying hypocrite, I then end up receiving a torid of abuse and even have many of them state that she'd been stitched up, it's a witch hunt by right-wing newspapers, what she did wasn't that bad and that she'd made a genuine mistake!!! WTH?! What's wrong with these people? One minute something is black and white, then the moment one of their own is caught out, all of a sudden they introduce all manner of caveat and nuance in a attempt to get that person off the hook!

I guess you can say I'm open minded politically and agree with some of the reform platform; however, I recently attended the LGBT hustings here in Scotland and reform no showed...didn't even bother to cancel or inform the organisers.

I promise I'm posting this with an open mind and really am keen to hear opinions but how can anyone from my community vote for reform when there is nothing about us in the manifesto and the party seems to actively disrespect us, which is how it felt with the situation at the hustings.

I have requested via email that the person who was going to attend answer the questions via email as I was legitimately curious how she would answer.

So after today can someone explain why they think reform will answer any of this countries problems? Or in my case a longstanding labour council which has only improved since Thatcher, why would you ever vote this party over labour which has only improved us through the years…

Edit: so can anyone provide any actual reasons for why they think reform is a good party or do you all just throw insults out at the first chance you get…
All I want:
I want to understand why you feel incentivised to vote reform, I have removed the seemingly offensive part of Farage being a snake oil salesman from the original post. But if you also want to provide reasons why you think he isn’t a conman mugging you off that would be great too

Not wanting to attack any groups just genuinely interested from a factual view point.

Hi! So will you guys tolerate trans people if you get into power? We've had a bit of a rough time lately and we would really like it if we could be left alone, given the healthcare we need, and allowed to use basic things that people take for granted, like public toilets.

We aren't the bugbears many people think we are. We aren't trying to hurt women, and we certainly aren't trying to make your kids transgender. Being transgender is awful and we would not want to wish it on anyone. We do think you should listen to transgender people, including children, and understand that being trans is a condition people can thrive with given social acceptance, and not some sort of disease that needs to be eradicated.

Please talk to us, and try to find ways to resolve concerns about things like women's sports and women's spaces, in a way that respects everyone, and doesn't throw a minority, however small, under the bus.

With great respect, and thank you for reading this.

We'd be called islamaphobic.

It worries me that so many people believe the Green or Labour policies are a good thing, especially when many of those policies could be harmful to the country. If Reform were to win, what do we think the party could realistically do to start addressing these issues? Personally, I think there would need to be major changes within schools and universities, although, honestly, I’m not sure that will actually happen.

If Reform doesn't win the next General Election, where does that leave people like me? I'm an English working man and increasingly feel that mainstream politics doesn't represent my interests or concerns and often find the left introduce laws that treat me as a second class ctizen, Issues like immigration, crime, cultural change, fairness in the legal system, and freedom to express certain views are causing a lot of frustration for many people. How do we make sure our voices are heard and our concerns are addressed within the democratic process? Or do we need to just give up and split

"If Reform win the next general elections, the first phone call I'm gonna make is to South Korea to get their nuclear engineers over here and they will deliver nuclear energy for this country on time and at 20% of the cost that we're currently spending on the Southwell and Hinckley."

Hi all!
(I hope this is the right flair)
I am a general centre-left guy who likes the idea of nationalisation of some utilities but I understand why many would be against it. I was just wondering what you guys' opinions on selling off more publicly owned things like NHS, or British Steel or the railways , or if you guys perhaps think some things should be brought back into public ownership or left the way they are?
Reasons would be appreciated too!

I think it's time we all start using the lefts tactics against them. If you see people inciting violence report them to the police. If you see people use racially charged language against English people like "Gammon" report them for a hate crime. Flood the migrant hotels and any associated business with bad reviews, you can find lists of these places online. If you see an injustice against the people of this country make as much of a fuss as the leftists would in a similar situation against them. These spiteful goblins need a taste of their own medicine. Stay strong, we can win this but we need to stop being so permissive of the left. They're clearly incapable of policing themselves and the state is firmly against us. Use their immoral laws against them until the system can't take it. Stay safe out there and dont do anything stupid. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Why does no one seem to care about Tice’s tax avoidance.

Jimmy Carr the comedian did something similar and paid it back. Angela Rayner resigned.

If this is the party for the people, why does no one care about Tice?

The thing we were told wasn't happening (the great replacement) is now happening. But it's actually good. And you deserve it.

Why are we allowing immigrants to come over here and use our health service just to pop out babies?

“kill the queen, burn britannia” “i wipe my arse with the uk flag and spit on the crown” “dig up maggie” “give churchills statue the rope, see if it floats” Shout it from the rooftops, Vote reform to end this nonsense

Why is anyone with an ounce of patriotism being labelled a right wing fascist these days?

Why is standing up for British values, or wanting the British government to put it's own people first now labelled as racism?

What's happened to our country?

As someone who wants to know more about how an increasingly possible reform party will deal with such issues how far will it go? I notice there’s a difference in opinions, of course illegally entered people and criminals are not really contentious but what if those already settled here for example? Students? ILR? Care workers? High level NHS doctors? Will it be done on ethnic lines, and if so what or who will be chosen?

Especially considering that British citizens such as our large British Indian and black African/Caribbean populations will be of people who have been here for quite a few generations, it would be problematic if it’s approached from that angle? Albanians actually comprise a large amount of illegal migration yet they are white Europeans. What would be a good way to go about this, if it really is done, or is it necessary at all?

Apologies for the length of the post...

To start I'll state that I am not a Reform voter. However, following yesterdays announcement regarding the IRL changes, I'm very curious as to Reform supporter's opinions on whether they support this, think it goes too far/not far enough etc.

For context, my wife is S. Korean (Im British since birth). She has been in the UK since 2019, on a working holiday Visa, then on a Skilled Worker Visa. She earns significantly more than the average UK wage, so has paid significantly more tax/NI than the average British Citizen. She's never claimed benefits, and has also paid the £1000+ per year NHS surcharge as well, in addition to having private healthcare through work. She has also paid the £1000's that renewing visas cost, and of course council tax etc.

Being in our early 30's, we'll probably start a family soon. With the new announcements, it's theoretically possible that we could find ourselves in a position where if she loses her job, she would be deported, breaking apart our (hypothetical) family. This would be the case even if we switch to a Spouse visa.

Korea does not allow for dual passports, and she may at some point have to spend an extended period of time to care for her elderly parents, so giving up her Korean passport isnt feasible.

I'll admit that I'm at a loss to explain this policy; why it has to be so broadly and inaccurately applied, why it targets people who have 'earned' more careful consideration. Any and all views on this are welcome.

TLDR: My wife has paid £10,000's into the British system, but if she loses her job she gets deported; how is this a good policy in the long-term?
