Sadly, I can see Farage's lot getting in at the next GE.

Back in the 70s, when people were equally disillusioned, it flipflopped between Labour and the Tories. Now, the Tories are a spent force; aping Reform but why would anyone vote Reform-light when you can choose "full fat". It won't end well mind you; electing popularists never does.

I hate to think what America will be like in 4 years time. Full blown authoritarianism? Trump the defender of free speech; what a joke. Aye, free, as long as you don't make fun of or criticise him or his fascist regime.

My only consolation is I'm old, and I might be dead before 1929*.

Same here. It's the line I tend to use when a discussion on politics, future of jobs, immigration etc gets too indepth. 'Ah well, I'm glad I'll be dead before then' usually cuts any discussion short.

Woke (adj): having or marked by an active awareness of systemic injustices and prejudices, especially those involving the treatment of ethnic, racial, or sexual minorities

I'm sorry you see that as a negative label, personally I'd consider it a compliment to be called woke. But judging by the usual content of your posts, you might consider it an insult.
