But isn't that one and the same thing? That if white middle aged males are not as good as other people, and recruiters believe this to be the case, then it is prejudice. Accurate prejudice but prejudice all the same....

But is the division really created though? The way I see populism, at least when it is done honestly, is making the public aware of a division that already exists - but that they are not yet aware of....

No, because his ratings are already good enough to win the election.

Thinking conspiratorially, I wonder whether what might have happened is that the deep state / the super rich didn't want him to win the election, so, rather as they successfully did with JFK 61 years ago, they somehow...

Let the conspiracy theories begin.

In which case you would see the rich supporting them - which you don't. The rich only support the Tories, in the main....

I think both are true. In that one of their agendas is to have a non-establishment party. They want politicians who are new to power who have not (yet) started to become corrupted towards serving the interests of the rich, or serving the interests of "fairness" (i.e. "woke" stuff),...

That happens when you have clicked the "Multiquote" button under the post that you had replied to (it is persistent). Go back and click it again to remove it....

I have no idea. Maybe it paid him and his party UKIP money that he could use for campaigning?



That's not the case. He believes that leaving the EU was in the best interest of the UK. His focus was on the whole of the UK, not just the fishermen in it.
This man has spent...

He campaigned on the basis of "I will work to get us out of the EU". His entire raisin d'etre of being an MEP was to further that aim, alone. Had he done anything else he would have been going outside his remit....

Right, I've just finished my gig on Friday, so budge up on the (unfortunately very long) bench please.

I've just gone onto my LinkedIn, for the first time in a couple of weeks, and was greeted with this:



Unemployed! Grrr ...

I suspect you're right. I wonder what this will be?...

If he is "opportunistic" this means that he only does things where there is a need for them to be done. For example it was only in the past few months, as the economy has begun to slide, that he has seen a need for his services. The past 4 years he has been in the background.

Farage is very intelligent, smart, hard-working, energetic, and well connected. He is a breath of fresh air compared with the existing set of tired politicians of all parties who have become complacent. I want him in Parliament where he will provide an effective opposition to Kier Starmer, as well as...

Hate is too strong a word. Disillusionment and a belief that the mainstream parties have lost their way is what is driving most people, myself included, who support Reform....

All of these are possible.

I was in Clacton on Saturday, delivering leaflets for the party, and with the opportunity to canvass like this Andrew Parker bloke.
The setup was very informal. Nigel sent out a mass-email to everyone who has registered with the Reform Party, not even members,...

Reform is a broad church- we have as members racist and non-racist people alike....
