Political Waffle

@jtworr I love this policy.

Reform is going to make sure that even Green voters will get what they vote for.

@RaheemKassam @SamCKx The reaction rorm Restore dudes today has been priceless...

@SamCKx So just to be clear you believe housing migrants in any place is injurious to the British public? He got you all spinning on your arses 🤣

Nigel Farage has committed prosecutable election offences with this video under the Representation of the People Act 1983. The Act prohibits inducing voters through the threat of “temporal injury”, which includes material disadvantage such as the targeted imposition of government burdens. Threatening to specifically house illegal migrants in a constituency if it does not vote Reform is coercive and constitutes a criminal offence.

@C_McMitchell @Sargon_of_Akkad Its the man's living. He is a clever man who has thought things through I am sure, but for my money he just chose the wrong side. I chose Reform because that is what actually resonated with me, although I can see that the alternative would have worked way better.

@WafflePolitical @Sargon_of_Akkad I don't mean to attack Carl personally, but he has too many competing incentives to be objective. Especially when money is involved, and audience retention is involved.

Live in an area with a substantial minority population forced upon you against your will? Well, now Reform are going to force even more migrants on you, with a higher propensity towards criminality. Bad luck!

@C_McMitchell @Sargon_of_Akkad The perennial problem with YouTubers. Self radicalisation. Target audiences are not too interested in differing points of view. They want the same thing, time after time, and after a while we can get lost. Carl is on our side. Just took a wrong turn IMO. Nationalism sells.

@Sargon_of_Akkad We both know if this came from Restore, you would have done an entire livestream on it. You're entire business is based on commentaries from opposition. You're financial incentived to push Restore for profitability, and is now wailing that the party got outflanked.

@LionelMedia He has his own youtube channel and does participate at times.

You know what fascinates me? The goofy dude on the left. The one who doesn't say anything. The Andrew Ridgeley of this synthetic intellectual presentation. Who is he? Did he have to audition for this? What function does he serve? Seriously, what?

@Sargon_of_Akkad Sometimes we can wander so far off the beaten track searching for truth that we forget the point of why we started wandering in the first place.

Weaponising the migrants is just the Labour and Conservative parties did. Reform, just more of the same.

@Bodysatnav Useful idiots marching towards their own destruction prove nothing.

Meet someone who Starmer & Netanyahu would describe as anti semitic. She happens to be a Jew. A Jew Sith a heart with a conscience, moved by love not hate, not a victim, not 'chosen,' not a Zionist stooge, but a human being appalled by the murder & ethnic cleansing in Palestine.

@seledka_vodka Normal people have got us into this mess. The Tories betrayed us too many times. Boris was the last straw.

If you want just normal people to represent you, vote Conservative.

@Checc0T @tomhfh I suppose. Its a good example of subtle changes to our environment that are gradual that change societal behaviours over time. How climate change should be managed by politicians.

@WafflePolitical @tomhfh Thank you for making the environmentally friendly decision. This is unironically the best proof that this policy works.

Stupid EU bottle cap just spilt orange juice on me. Lots of OJ in the lid, gets you before you can even rip the bastard thing off.

@SamCKx But, I thought you wanted more migration into our towns and cities. Whats the problem with this?

@GyllKing @implausibleblog These people are totally nuts.

@implausibleblog Farage says this wasn't him leaving Kingston Crown Court October 1979 with NF leader Martin Webster who was convicted of incitement to racial hatred. Farage was 15 in 1979. Farage says it is not him. Do we believe him? The colour photo is Nigel Farage's son Tom at the age of 14.

C4News asks about 17 of the 20 people who accuse him of racism and antisemitism Nigel Farage, "None of them say that I directly attacked them or abused them"

It will not matter. There has already been a half deal struck between Bardella and Farage about this, should they both get in...there will be no detainment centres, anywhere. Illegals here will be sent home. New illegals will prob be towed back immediately. Foreign national benefits will be stopped and a lot will go home. Its politics and rubbing the lefts noses in their own policy, forcing them to discuss the issue and look hypocritical. Its politics.

I vehemently dislike Reform’s new policy on locating detainment centres in non-Reform voting constituencies. 1) in most Green-voting constituencies there will be thousands of people living there who did NOT vote Green. Why should they be punished? 2) Increasing someone’s likelihood of being a victim of crime simply because they didn’t vote for you is dictator-y. Collective punishment is for socialists. We need a solution but this is NOT it. I hope they rethink.

@Steve_Laws_ If Bardella gets elected at the next French election this will all be irrelevant. He will allow us to take them back immediately to save the Northern French towns, he wants this towns back for the French. We may well look back on this and realise that it meant nothing.

Putting illegals in leftist strongholds is retarded. It may seem like a big fuck you to the greens but in reality it's not. There'll be endless legal battles and problems. The illegals will be back on the streets, they won't be detained. Nobody has learnt anything since the Napier Barracks fiasco.

We live in an age of mass migration and we see sectarian politics developing all across our political system. Kemi is intelligent and talented, but the British people en masse will ultimately not vote for a Nigerian lady in the current environment. You may call our society racist, but its the truth. I like her, but the combination of 14 years of Tory rule going wrong for this country and the above means she will never get anywhere near power. A decade ago, maybe, but not now.

Next Prime Minister anyone?

@Emma_A_Webb 100%

People who want open borders should be expected to put their money where their mouth is. If they want to vote green or Labour, they should suffer the consequences. This policy isn’t threatening - it’s fair. And genius.

@BWallArthur Its not 'your' Britain anymore, its the peoples.

My Britain liberates concentration camps. It doesn't open them.

This problem will be gone in a couple of months. At the end of his time, Iran will not be a force able to spread fear and terror globally. He also delivered on his border promises. Something our own leaders seem unable to do. Call him what you like, but he has been highly effective in some areas.

My monologue from today’s The Times at One with Andrew Neil: As often happens with President Trump, it’s not long before you end up in fantasyland.  Yesterday, in a long and at times incoherent social media post, he suddenly announced the US would start ‘guiding’ — his word —  commercial ships out of the Strait of Hormuz, where they have been stranded by his War on Iran.  On the face of it — at last an effort to unblock this vital supply route for the global economy.  Of course, it turned out to be no such thing. There will be no US Navy escort for stranded ships to go through the Strait in convoy. Or the navies of any other countries for that matter.  Just a so-called ‘co-ordination cell’ involving countries, insurance companies and shipping lines sharing data. Trump has dubbed it ‘Project Freedom’. But there will be precious few ships freed by this latest wheeze.  The UK’s Maritime Trade Operations agency, which works in tandem with the Royal Navy, said this morning the security threat level in the Strait remained ‘critical’. As long as that’s the case ships won’t risk the passage without Iran’s approval.  And that was before we had Iran claiming this morning to have hit a US frigate. America is categorical that none of its ships has been hit.  At first Tehran didn’t deign to respond to Trump’s latest initiative. But this morning Iran warned it would attack any commercial ships or US warships that tried to transit the Strait without its permission, reminding everyone it was in control of the Strait, which, of course, it wasn’t before Trump began his attacks on Iran.  Over 1,600 ships are now trapped on either side of the Strait. Only those of whom Iran approves and prepared to stump up $2m per ship to Tehran are allowed through. The truth is Trump has no idea how to reopen the Strait — or how to bring his war to an acceptable end.  He’s just rejected Iran’s latest peace proposals, which were full of unacceptable nonsense — suggesting the tyrants of Tehran are still in no rush for peace. But what happens next is anybody’s guess.  Mine is that Trump will simply play for time, as he has in Gaza. Last year, to much fanfare, he announced peace had broken out in the strip and reconstruction would begin.  Since when, there’s been very little peace and no reconstruction. But our attention has moved on. Gaza makes few headlines these days, even though it’s still grim on the ground.  Trump will be hoping for the same attention deficit towards Iran. Both sides have stopped raining down missiles, bombs and drones on each other. Not much else is happening. Nothing to see here. Let’s move along.  However, there is one mighty difference with Gaza: the Strait of Hormuz. The longer that stays closed the more the global economy is likely to be crippled. That’s already happening in Asia, where shortages are spreading and economies grinding to a halt.  The same fate is heading our way, slowly but surely. We are heading for shortages and massive price rises in all manner of materials — not just oil and gas — but jet fuel, helium, naphtha, fertilisers  — about which we know little but which are, in fact, vital to normal life.  No jet fuel, no flying.  No helium, no microchips, no microchips, no cars or household appliances, never mind the AI developments currently keeping the US stock market afloat.  No fertilisers, no food.  No naphtha, no building blocks for everything from textiles to rubber to car parts.  If, come June, the Strait is still closed then we will be entering a summer of misery thanks to Trump’s War. The chances grow by the day.  It has dawned on Tehran that controlling the Strait is a far more powerful weapon than a nuclear bomb. Though it’s not giving up on that either.  As the rest of us suffer, Trump will be declaring a fantasy victory. Which makes you wonder: if this is victory, what would defeat look like?

@martindvz Didnt you forget Mossad too?

BBC News is utterly corrupt right wing propaganda Pushing Reform and Farage on behalf of the billionaires

@BrotherFiftyTwo @TedUrchin Ah...my timeline went weird there with no Ted Smith, or was it me. Looked like you were responding to Kathryn. Yes, its absolute bullshit. True.

@WafflePolitical @TedUrchin The OP stated this: “Starmer represents us brilliantly on the international stage as well as delivering superbly at home.” I think it’s bullshit.

Starmer represents us brilliantly on the international stage as well as delivering superbly at home.
