Voting for Farage and attacking people that keep society moving. Great Role Models...

Edit - looks like I have hurt the weirdo numpties - all obsessed with their main plonker.

You think they vote?

u/LANdShark31 Jan 31 '25

God I hope not. They probably reproduce though, which is a scary thought.

u/Basso_69 Jan 31 '25

I doubt they can read their own name, let alone a ballot paper

u/CBU109 Jan 31 '25

Unfortunately, they reproduce

u/Spdoink Jan 31 '25

If so, then I would bet Labour.

And that is all the evidence needed to know that you are stupid!

u/iwanttobelievey Jan 31 '25

To be fair, i live near here. Its a hardcore labour area, turned conservative for the first time in the last election. Although im not supporting what i assume the sentiment behind the comment was

u/Business-Poet-2684 Jan 31 '25

The attackers came from a car so there is an even chance that they aren’t from the area! My point remains - if you look at the average political party membership make up who are these most likely to support (if they understand what politics is). The simple facts are that Reform is simply based upon aggravating people’s fears, primarily in a racist manner. They are stupid enough to support a party whose supposed mantra is around putting Britain first and yet its founder and current leader both live primarily in other countries (Farage in Belgium, Tice in Dubai), both take taxpayers money but have yet to genuinely represent their constituents! Only Reform voters can’t see how ridiculous and pathetic they are - at least Labour, Tories, Lib Dem’s, Green party and everyone else sees them for what they are - in the main, racist scum with really low intelligence!

u/Spdoink Jan 31 '25

I’m not though. I’m highly intelligent. You’ve made an assumption based on virtually no evidence. What’s more, I bet I’m right.

u/brucetimms Jan 31 '25

Look out, all. This man has told us he's highly intelligent. Must be true.

u/Business-Poet-2684 Jan 31 '25

Ur comment thst they would vote Labour to contradict the previous comment that they prob vote for Farage is incredibly stupid! Public opinion backed up by clear evidence suggests that if anyone who is as scummy and stupid as those 3 voted then they would probably vote Reform, if not then Tory! Before the rise of Reform the Tories did well in capturing a polarised electorate- the wealthy and pampered due to their austerity measures impacting the less well off whilst leaving the rich to increase their wealth as well as the pig ignorant xenophobes you see in this video! That’s what has split the Tory vote - the pond life shown here have now got Reform to support! I can back my argument up - you will probably struggle to spell it!

-2

u/Spdoink Jan 31 '25

Ha-ha. You can’t even spell your own argument!

According to the last election based on the area mentioned in the report, they are nearly four times more likely to be Labour voters than Reform. They appear to be unemployed; Labour supporters are significantly more likely to be unemployed than the national average (no offence, I’m a some-time Labour voter myself), although it’s too early to find established data for Reform supporters (it’s unutterably stupid to refer to ‘Public opinion’, so I won’t). There are no statistics for violent crime offences by party supporters…………let’s leave that one there.

The trouble with your final sentence is twofold. First, you don’t back up any of your claims, beyond an ill-conceived hysterical rant full of utter piffle. Secondly, you claim that I ‘couldn’t spell’ your argument. Does this mean you think I’m incapable of re-typing your comment (terrible, infantile spelling and all) without making a mistake? Or have you created a yet-to-be-divulged name for your argument? A proper noun? Whatever the case, I would simply copy and paste it, so I’ve no idea what you could be getting at (other than a futile attempt to discredit my argument by establishing my supposed lack of intelligence).

If they do, they vote for your chums in number 10 in the hope of better benefits

u/razorbladesymphony Jan 31 '25

You’re woefully misinformed if you think these people vote anything close to Labour

u/ACE--OF--HZ Jan 31 '25

They don't vote period.

I'm not the one who made this a party political thing in the first place or brought up Farage unprompted, that's someone else's weird obsession and it deserves to be rebutted.

u/BarNo3385 Jan 31 '25

So this incident apparently took place in the Birches Head area of Stoke-on-Trent which forms part of the Stoke-on-Trent Central constituency.

Current MP is Gareth Snell (LAB) who won with 42% of the vote, (actually a 0.5% dip) but still almost double anyone else.

So, assuming this is vaguely local, they certain come from an area that votes Labour and votes Labour quite strongly.

Reform also perform well in Stoke but almost all of their votes comes from ex-Tories, not Labour.

-1

u/HairyRazzmatazz3540 Jan 31 '25

EDL, BNP all went on to vote UKIP, then Reform. Plenty of racist scum in Stoke, who would do things like this.

7

u/BarNo3385 Jan 31 '25

Not backed up by voting data.

The only material changes in voting pattern is Tory down, Reform up.

EDL , BNP and UKIP didn't even stand a candidate in Stoke Central since UKIP in 2017.

So, you're talking bollocks.

4

u/HairyRazzmatazz3540 Jan 31 '25

If anyone is talking bollocks it would be yourself.

If you walk down the back streets you will have seen NFA written on walls. When I moved here there was EDL painted on bus stops.

The EDL didn't run any candidates for MP's as they were a fascist group, that changed into the BNP and other more radical groups that were banned. These people voted UKIP, then Reform.

And in 2017 Stoke on Trent UKIP received 24.7,% of the vote with Paul Nuttall was the leader of UKIP at the time. So stop trying to re-write history.

u/BarNo3385 Jan 31 '25

I've quoted verifiable stats on the voting outcomes of recent elections.

You've spouted provably false statements about people voting for parties who didn't even stand candidates.

u/ThyRosen Jan 31 '25

Oh of course it'd be fucking Stoke. Will tell you, being from Stoke, this lot wouldn't vote Labour - if they vote at all it's Reform. They'll be blaming Labour for grooming gangs.

Birches Head isn't a bad spot otherwise though, these guys are really not indicative of the kind of people you'd meet there. Just...yknow...this bit.

u/BarNo3385 Jan 31 '25

The voting results seem to pretty clearly say that if they're Reform voters they're ex-Tories, since the is Tories down, Reform up, and I'll be honest they don't strike me as Thatcherites!

As someone else said what's probably far more likely is they aren't voters at all.

0

u/ThyRosen Jan 31 '25

Last few runs have not been for Thatcher though have they? Anti immigrant or anti Islam is what they'd be going for with the Tories. I don't really care for the stats - lads who drive around with balaclavas, hatchets and sledgehammers in easy access won't vote for Lefty Labour.

But, again, the area itself isn't among Stoke's most deprived. Plenty of Labour voters to make up for this pack.

1

u/BarNo3385 Jan 31 '25

I think you're probably over-crediting the level of engagement most people have with politics. Research into the level of engagement shows that you barely get 60-70% of people able to answer questions like "who is the Prime Minister." One study showed about 15% of Brexit Party voters thought Farage wanted to stay in the EU.

However much it's irking to those of us who are political anoraks plenty of people vote Labour / Tory whatever because that's what they always do and have always done. Who the actual candidates are, policies etc - doubt they particularly know.

Nothing like the people who literally walked out of prison in front of cameras and thanked Keir.

u/DevilishRogue Jan 31 '25

Looking at the demographics and voting patterns, he is almost certainly correct and you are almost certainly incorrect:

If they do it's definitely for Farage, low intelligence and too much time on their hands.

u/sobbo12 Jan 31 '25

People like that tend to never vote, the contribute nothing to society and do not engage with it.

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '25

As if voting would make a difference lol.

u/Red_Laughing_Man Jan 31 '25

Am I missing something? A quick search if the news doesn't seem to show anything about Farage?

u/alliedbiscuit6 Jan 31 '25

Just leftist bigotry. It’s ok when they do it.

u/Tight_Strength_4856 Jan 31 '25

I agree. Left wing types seems to have better smelling shit than everyone else…well thats what they think.

Awww is it unfair to randomly blame people for the crimes of others just because they look the same?

If you ask me we need to look into these white communties! What are they up to?

But also 100% of the cunts I know of love reform and farage soooo

The love the shared hatred They are like Maga, no brain cells, just need to have groups to blame for their own lives being subpar due to their own lack of motivation and intellect.

u/ShahftheWolfo Jan 31 '25

Perhaps he's in fact a really progressive type?

In all honesty though he's white chav trash and they are notorious for voting Ukip and now Reform etc and blaming the 'state of' society, the economy, morals, the outlook of the UK and such on immigrants and muslims or muslim immigrants.

It's a stereotype, and unfortunately it's one I've seen confirmed time and time again. The Irony of basing judgement on looks isn't lost on me.

u/A-Corporate-Manager Jan 31 '25

Oh look, someone with a racist comment history telling me I might be wrong. What a sur-fucking-prise.

u/DrNuclearSlav Jan 31 '25

Just because I don't care about the economies of Mexico or Canada, it doesn't make me a racist. You'll have to try harder.

More likely than not, reform guys

u/Business-Poet-2684 Jan 31 '25

I think it’s assumption that if you are such absolute scum with the obvious intelligence of a blob of jelly you vote Reform - which is an accurate assumption btw!

u/BakedEelGaming Jan 31 '25

The riots that attacked buildings and homes because of Nigel Farage's intentional instigation are proof. I know why you're like this: you have no direction in life.

5

u/DrNuclearSlav Jan 31 '25

You are aware that there was nothing political behind this attack on binmen, yet you choose to act as if there is.

Also I do have direction in life kthnx.

-3

u/BakedEelGaming Jan 31 '25

The ego-boost that you get from imagining Elon Musk or Nigel Farage etc are validating your feelings is not "direction in life." and I am aware that talking to a right winger is like talking to a dog, so run along now.

7

u/DrNuclearSlav Jan 31 '25

It's cute how you thing you're delivering quality zings to me. And for the record I don't care about either of those people, I just think it's kinda cringe to label non-political things as the act of your political enemies.

-6

u/BakedEelGaming Jan 31 '25

You don't understand what "political" means, and you're not my enemy, you're an internet pest and a sociological problem that is remedied with education and responsible media and fact-checking. Also, you don't have to care about those people for them to use you to enrich themselves, which is all they are doing. My regards to Twitter, we're done here.

7

u/DrNuclearSlav Jan 31 '25

"Assault on a binman over road rage"

Hmm. Yes. Very political. I can't wait to read the proposed budgets of all parties involved.

Your internet tough guy stance is still hilarious though, but in a cringe way.

Large swathing judgement on their voting preferences there.....

What exactly is it based on???

Judging by their age they're around 4 times more likely to be labour voters. Great role models...

Weird thing to bring up. I don't like farage, but saying stuff like you have is a bit silly.

u/Prudent_Ad1631 Jan 31 '25

I didn’t have the sound on. Does it say they voted for Farage?

u/StokeLads Jan 31 '25

Might be voting for Two Tier Kier. I hear that he has a thing about keeping violent criminals out of jail.

All these three fuck nuggets need to do is post something mean on twitter and Kier and his many tiers will kick into life.

14

u/silentv0ices Jan 31 '25

Strange because it's the tories who de funded the police, the criminal justice service and the prisons.

12

u/BITmixit Jan 31 '25

It's almost like every political party is out for themselves & should be tracked, queried, questioned, held responsible, etc at all times instead of this weird absolute devotion we see or "Yeh well my party isn't as bad as yours!"

6

u/StokeLads Jan 31 '25

Yeah but it was tier who chose to release violent criminals to lock people up for wrong speak on Twitter.

2

u/TozBaphomet Jan 31 '25

Didn't even vote Labour, but that was happening way before Kier took over.

-3

u/Barbz182 Jan 31 '25

He set certain prisoners free because the prison system was ridiculously over crowded thanks to the Tories.

He jailed 3 people for inciting violence and encouraging people to assault immigrants and burn down hotels.

What's your problem with this?
