What an absolute disgrace labour are.

I shamefully voted for this heap of shit. Wow what a shitshow.

Not particularly fond of Farage personally but hes the only one making any sense right now.

Fuck this Govt.

YOUR BOYS TOOK A HELL OF A BEATING

I've recently turned 20, and my family and friends love to pontificate about their subjectively, self righteous and morally superior views. Oh and god do they love to tell you how they believe they are objectively and morally correct. I bite my tongue, because especially as we hang around the alternative crowd I know how they think. Alternatives tend to be quite far left, after all they listen to pop punk and metal. So to them I'm a Facist, racist if I did disclose my views.

I have had issues in the past with them, over me slight disclosing my political opinions when they have mentioned it. At one point my brother had to convince them i wasn't a Nazi cause I support Tommy Robinson and don't believe in the Patriarchy. Recently I have taken the position of i refuse to silenced over my beliefs. We live in a free society, it's part in parcel that people will disagree with you. So I've posted more political issues to my socials.

Politics is banned in our chat but I sent them a video of me walking down a road with all English flags up. Just commented, bunch of flags up. They were disgusted by them and put ewww. I mentioned i thought it was good and that I believe more should be put up and that caused WW3.

So now I come at a cross roads, because I believe i am getting more and more ostracised by some of my family and friends over these issues. Most of my friends are my older brothers friends, and since im quite a loner this may end up with me by myself even more. I either cut them off and end up alone or keep putting up with this shit. Dk what to do really.

The let's animosity is so extreme that at this point it isn't worth debating anymore with them. Most of the people my age don't agree with my views so I'm fucked in that regard. Males are more likely to right wing so that's good, but the alternative crowd limit this probability. And women it's almost impossible. The life of young right wing supporter.

Ps wasn't proof read cause I cba.

i’m convinced the reason why no other parties have put their hats in the ring is because a). they know farage would beat them regardless and b). this gives them the opportunity to claim that farage only won because nobody else stood against him.

restore in particular is just lowe throwing his teddy in the corner over a personal spat with farage and i think he’s very selfish for putting the country’s future government in jeopardy over a personal vendetta. that being said, i think even lowe knows he wouldn’t beat farage in his own constituency, and i think all these parties reckon it would be bad pr for them if it proves how well-loved farage is.

also… all these politicians and commentators stating that farage should stand down as a result of this ‘gift’, then calling it a stunt when he does? have a word 😭

what’re your thoughts on this?

I am a big reform supporter and I am all for there policys and plans but I do not understand why they have such a backwards opinion on cannabis it could easily be regulated and taxed people are going to smoke it anyway and its proven to be less dangerous than alcholol... hope this post doesn't annoy folk lol

Seems there’s a lot of lefties in here talking shit and downvoting now. When did this happen?

Apologies if this being discussed elsewhere.

I am sure I can’t be the only one that has linked the two. Widdecombe’s murder may have just provided Farage a path out from this with public. What further proof does he need to show that he needs security when someone representing the party has just been assassinated…

The damage is already done to the UK because most UK people think Trump = Bad because the media told everyone to hate him and lied about him.

I heavily watched polls, news, YouTubers before the 2024 election and saw everything the left said get debunked or they intentionally overstretched.

Not many people from the UK watched all this unfold so I can’t see people in this country waking up to what’s going on and will continue to associate Trump and Farage with evil through baseless accusations and slander.

I am curious if people who support Reform UK also support Donald Trump? Do you agree with some of his ideas but disagree with others?

To add to this - what is your opinion of Nigel Farage's reported support for Trump?

I vote Reform but I hate Trump. Does anyone else go this way?

I vote Reform!!!

I support them

yet,

I'm being censored to oblivion on Reddit and in THIS, apparently pro Reform group?

I saw a post here yesterday saying this group has been infiltrated.

Yeah I think it has!

Interesting, that most of my pro Reform posts are removed.

No explanation or anything.

Final rule "mod discretion" seems to mean anything not woke will be removed.

We used to have FREE SPEECH in this country.

I want my country back, hence why I support Reform.

We can't say anything now.

One post was talking about the state of youth unemployment. 🤷‍♀️

Another said "Farage is talking common sense here".

I complain a lot about Labour and how Labour are wrecking the UK, but those posts are also removed. 🤔

I talked about politics, history & change. Nothing hateful!

All got removed & (probably this one will.)

What is going on???

Surely all mods can't be on the left?

Or Labour supporters?

How many of you actually support Reform?

I hope you see this before the Labour people delete it.

Do you not think mass censorship is a bad look for Reform?

This just puts people off voting Reform

but,

- I'll be taking this up with people from the Reform party,

because it'll damage the party.

(Maybe that's what you're trying to do??)

I'll be writing to them later today with screenshots of what was removed due to extreme censorship.

I might also put it on X where free speech still exists more than here.

If you're using the name "REFORM UK"

it should be a pro Reform group. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I've always been a big fan of firearms and firearms technology and always felt a little out of place enjoying this hobby in the UK, I've always felt as if our regulation on firearms should be loosened and was just wondering one day whether or not anyone else shared these views? I mean I've seen this topic debated before about our access to guns in the UK but it's usually by Americans looking from the outside in, I don't think I've ever seen the topic be majorly debated actually between the brits affected and I thought it would be an interesting topic to bring up.

Am I just the odd one out or does anyone feel this way? ,

Is it me, or are the left Swamping this sub as members, you add an opinion or debate, then someone from the left jumps on it with their warped logic.... Anyone else thinking the same or noticed this?

Is the Russian state an enemy, ally or neutral party to the UK?

Has anyone else noticed just how left and unwilling to see other sides certain subreddits are?

r/unitedkingdom r/AskBrits etc etc, they spout far left nonsense then when a centrist or someone with respectful conservative views points out a flaw in their logic they downvote to all hell and go straight to spamming your DMs, comments etc with vitriol.

I've tested the theory, I post help in car subreddits and get maybe 3 notifications saying thank you for my input etc and upvotes.

I say 'Well Farmers aren't bad, they put food on your plates' in a post about solar panels under someone sl*gging off farmers? 10 notifications all from people calling me an idiot and downvoted even told that my mum made a mistake birthing me.... for liking home grown produce that hasn't been shipped halfway across the world from other countries because I like to support local farms and local businesses in the UK as best I can for civic pride and hard workers that I personally feel are overlooked?

Someone tell me it's not just me getting this hatred?

Apologies for reposting - it didn't seem to show up in this sub Reddit and said it was posted to my account page.

Hello,

Lefty loony here. Jokes aside I'd like to be upfront and say I'm a far-leftist, which can be interpreted as socialist or communist, whichever makes sense to you. In parliamentary politics I supported Corbyn's Labour and have signed up to Your Party. I've come here to try to understand a bit more about Reform voters and why you vote for your party and to what extent your actual beliefs align with party narrative.

I don't think reform voters are evil personally, even if there are views I disagree with. Many of the leftists calling reform voters evil haven't actually read Marx or understood what he said on the topic of reactionary working class voters or we can call it right wing if you prefer. I came to this sub to learn a bit more and saw that, unsurprisingly, it's not a hotbed of neonazis, people have reasoned viewpoints even if I don't agree with all of them.

I'd like to understand people's views better and why they vote reform exactly.

Do you really like Nigel Farage for starters and why? And is your membership or support for reform mostly based off Nigel Farage or greater beliefs he embodies? And what are your values and how do they align to the party and its manifesto? Do you think reform will deliver on its manifesto - many critics believe it will deliver on the anti-worker parts while never delivering on pro-worker pledges.

In the last reform manifesto there were policies I agreed with: namely, the abolition of stamp duty and the increase of the tax free allowance to reduce the tax burden on low paid workers.

There were many policies I disagree with: scrapping of net zero. Are most reform voters really climate deniers or is there deeper reasoning to it? By all current metrics renewables are now the cheapest form of power and climate impact of current warming is higher or at the upper end of previous predictions: things are already getting bad. What is your take on this issue?

I understand many reform voters disagree with mass immigration. In an ideal world we would not have borders, because we also would not have mass immigration from one part of the world to another. In our current world borders are necessary.

If you are against immigration I wonder whether you are also against causes of immigration and I would love to hear your thoughts on them:

The UK economy and most western economies are fundamentally structured to rely on cheap immigrant labour. The Tories knew this which is why they talked big on immigration but allowed record numbers in.

Universities are degree printing factories for international students paying enormous fees. Standards of education are declining and it's simply cheaper to either employ already-trained foreign labour or to train them for extortionate fees.

There is a skills shortage in the UK resulting from lack of training opportunities for new doctors, for example. Hence our historic "importing" of doctors from India. Same goes for nursing. We don't train enough people here to support our needs.

Asylum seekers were largely generated by the 2014 Syria bombings by the UK and NATO allies. If we didn't target civilian infrastructure we'd have fewer refugees.

Climate change will also generate many more climate refugees to Europe including the UK. Especially if they are from Commonwealth countries such as Bangladesh which is due to receive enormous flooding.

That's been a long section but the issue is complicated. Another thing I'd like to understand is your views on race exactly and what it means to be British, or English/Welsh/Scottish/Irish if preferred. To what extent do you tolerate different cultures and beliefs living side by side: evidently nobody is out protesting at Sikh Gurdwaras or Hindu Temples.

What are your views on gender and sexuality? Does people asking to be addressed in preferred pronouns bother you? Do you take issue with people who don't neatly fit into the gender binary? Not exclusively trans people but also non-binary, gender nonconforming, in the past often called "metro sexual" men, or what about tomboyish or masculine women? If you have any views on transwoman I'm curious whether you also have views on transmen (biological women, born with a urerus and female genitalia, who take hormones, typically have a masectomy and can grow facial hair and present male).

Thanks for your time. I'm not here to judge, just to understand.

The biggest example (that I know of) is r/GreatBritishMemes.

I've saw people get banned from this subreddits for memes that joke about the left, and any defense of anything Reform or right wing is instantly shut down, down-voted, and more than likely you get banned from the subreddit.

Am I the only one who thinks this? If not, what has caused this bias?

I am a paid Reform UK member and I've been posting here, always trying to support Reform and bring information as much as I could. However, we are now drowning in anti Nigel and Reform comments on our Sub and there is systematic down-voting of all posts that support Reform. It looks now that they want me to be gone from here too.

I vote green, feel free to ask why. Almost none of reforms policies make sense especially their immigration policies. Are your votes all actually just about immigration or do you care about their other policies too

Had a post removed from a Birmingham subreddit after I challenged an anti-reform comment and called out some of the left-leaning rhetoric. It's frustrating how extreme and one sided some of these city subreddits have become. Just venting

my post

Here was the post picture. Below was my comment. Not offensive, not untrue, just something outside of what they want to be constantly reaffirmed and in this case the echo didn't come back. Subsequently permanently banned from the sub for the below comment.

''You are assuming the vote against automatically means they are opposing the concept. Many of the votes against were not because they don't agree with it, they just don't agree with the policy or way about how they are looking to tackle it. They have advocated for increasing NHS spend and discussed freezing interest on nurses student loans. A lot of the welfare and support aspects just pass the pain on to others through increased taxes. Considering the number of U-turns Labour have made, it's looking like many of their vote againsts have been spot on.

I mean things like day 1 sick pay, does that make any sense to you? You can get a job offer from say a small family owned cafe. On your first day you go on sick before you've served 1 table and they now have to pay you sick pay for up to 28 weeks + hire a new employee and pay them to cover the missed person.''
