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.
Nigel Farage MP@Nigel_Farage
If you vote Reform you will not have an illegal migrant deportation facility in your area. We will hold migrants awaiting deportation in constituencies that vote Green instead. You get what you vote for.

@EleanoraStats how the hell is it legal for a party to threaten to punish voters like this?

Genuinely stunned by the many responses to this post from leftists who seem to be completely unaware that we already have a great many migrant detention centres, most of which were opened under New Labour.

@breadandposes im not saying she in some way just hated the north (though being a northerner, i cant help but feel like she did). im saying the north was in a position to lose the most from her policies, and london and the south east in a position to gain the most.
English
@breadandposes that's not my point though. she chose to implement policy that massively favoured london and the south east in comparison to the north, establishing a political consensus that left the north to ruin throughout and long after her government.

North Britain wasn't sacrificed. Industrial Britain was sacrificed, coal Britain was sacrificed to oil & gas Britain.

Thatcher sacrificed half our country for the benefit of the other half. North Britain was dropped into decline to prop up the South from which Tom now tweets. It's all in the data. People hate hearing that truth. They rarely challenge themselves on it. It's sad. It hurts Britain.
English
@breadandposes the north was and is far more urbanised than the south. it was far more reliant on industry, so of course they would vote against thatcher when they stood to lose the most? like i'm not sure what you're trying to say here. the north for a large part *was* industrial britain.
English
@bnuuymoder Is the Midlands South? If so you end up talking about a very specific part of England. Which is the urban population of a couple of cities, South Yorkshire coalfields and teesside. Which again goes back to my OP.
English
@breadandposes i think that's unlikely. the north has an older population than london, and old people are more likely to think that thatcher had a positive effect. yet the north has far more negative of a view than london.
English
@bnuuymoder No evidence to support this but I'd suspect once you control for age London and the North come out in the wash here.
English
@breadandposes london massively benefited from deregulation, significant investment (such as the docklands redevelopment), and crucially government centralisation. the latter effectively locking in future regional equality, having not been reversed by successive governments.
English
@breadandposes southerners know this, with them far more likely than northerners to think that thatcher had a positive impact on the country yougov.com/en-gb/daily-re…
English
@breadandposes im not suggesting that thatcher should've kept the collieries open. the south east was able to transition to the services-based economy and benefitted massively from that. the north, wales, and the midlands were pretty much left to decline instead.
English
@bnuuymoder Well that's a North/south England divide. Not sure its true for eg Scotland. However my point is that the government chose an industrial strategy, coal industry in Kent just as fucked as elsewhere. Its
English
@breadandposes the state of places like teesside these days is an absolute disaster. no future in sight at all. it didnt have to be this way. the government chose to centralise development in the south, and that was the consequence.
English
@breadandposes of course, but thatcher chose to leave the post-industrial regions to rot. deindustrialisation was, to an extent, inevitable, but the scale of regional economic decline i'd say was deliberate.
English
@breadandposes 100% sure that the nec will block him, labour will lose the byelection, and absolute carnage will follow.

How Andy Burnham will try to become the PM. After the Local Elections an MP will stand down to let him run. Behind the scenes his 80+ Labour MP supporters will say they will call a General Election if he is blocked. The NEC will probably chicken. Then it's down to voters.
English
@thomasforth 1) This graph needs to go earlier, at least since WWII. It could be misleading by providing a misleading trajectory.
2) The drop happened slightly before Thatcher and continued at the same pace after Thatcher.

Most people moronically misunderstand this chart. They see that Britain had higher growth in the 1950s and 60s in absolute terms, and chalk that down to the postwar consensus. But that’s obviously bollocks. Britain had the lowest growth in the G7 in the 50s and 60s. Technological innovation made growth impossible to escape, but my god did we miss out on so much wealth. In the 60s, elections were won because we’d ‘never had it so good’ - and that was true. But we were completely ignorant of how much better we could have had it. Once technological innovation slowed (households appliances look basically the same as they did in the 70s, our cars are recognisable, the difference between how society looks and gets about today compared to 1970 is minimal compared to the change over the 56 years leading up to 1970) growth slowed across the board. But in Britain, thanks to Thatcher, suddenly we went from underperforming every single one of our competitors to overperforming them all save for the United States.

Absolutely fucking insane that they are just pretending the third Muslim victim doesn’t exist. They are clearly terrified of their complete failure to control the narrative and the shit they are willing to do to regain control just mindblowing.
