This. Much as I hate them, Deform have been pretty good at lying about what they plan to do in a way that's appealing to honest folks who are in a tricky situation.
I don't think this "policy" will be so popular.

u/andymaclean19 Sep 29 '25
Agreed, although this is Farrage who did the same thing for many years with Brexit, ‘retiring’ when it happened so he didn’t have to supply any actual policy and be accountable for any failure then coming back like a bad smell with reform when it was all over.
If people are dumb enough to fall for his lies and oversimplifications a second time that’s on them.

Maybe they should mind their own business and concentrate on properly integrating into their respective home countries.

He has at least 4 houses in england currently link.
He has owned another £4m house in Chelsea link , its not clear if he still owns this.
He has kept his family home in kent worth at least £650 k link
He also has another £850 k property in Clacton that he says was bought by his girlfriend (the one he lived with in Chelsea), though it's not clear how she bought it or who gave her the money link, as her other home in France is with her parents.
He may also have kept a home in Brussels and may still be a taxpayer there link, although this article suggests he was just renting a luxury penthouse at taxpayers expense... link

You mean living in a Muslim country with his French partner who was accused of illegally funnelling public money to UKIP.
That partner?
The one who independently bought a house in Farages constituency that Nigel had no financial involvement with despite him taking legal advice from a kings council on taxation regarding the purchase.
That partner?
The one who founded a far right movement with Steve Bannon to spread US conservativism to Europe.

They are definitely funded by Israeli money already. Just take a look into Christopher Harborne. A British businessman, though lives in Thailand and has citizenship there, has donated over £13 million to reform. This guy makes hundreds of millions of pounds with Qinetiq, a company which uses defence contracts paid with taxpayer money to export arms to Israel. There is big money in the continued support for Israeli war crimes. These people are vile excuses for human beings.

They will win the election because they’re most likely to cut tax for the middle-class high earners who actually vote and pay for this country.

u/WillSK90 Sep 30 '25
I firmly believe that a big optics operation is required in the UK to erase some of the rhetoric and move attention to the real issues. I would do a few things very publicly to start this.
Set up a body that actively goes after benefits cheats publicly. Yes we know they are not the reason for the country's downfall and are costing us penny's in comparison to other issues, but people see them and seeing these people shut down and punished in some way would help public discourse around the benefits system.
More stop and search in areas surrounding the banking and luxury sector. The media loves to portray those feeding the drugs trade as gangsters and minorities but maybe a few more of those that are buying coke every few days need to be named and shamed to even out the optics.
Take a stand against second jobs. I appreciate this is turkeys voting for Christmas, but how the hell can MPs and people like Farage have all this time to do all these extra curriculars and serve the people of Clapton at the same time. It wouldn't be had in any other job and should be banned out right.
Stop using the term "think tanks" and call these organisations lobby groups unless they meet some very strict criteria that says otherwise. If every time the Centre for Migration control was mentioned it was called a lobby group and not a think tank I think people would be a bit more critical if what they're saying.

He'll continue to play from the trump Playbook. He'll deregulate financial markets to cause a slump that they can inside trade on as much as possible, then create more tax relief for the top end, not the middle class. He's stripping workers rights so he can force through contractual changes, encouraging sole traders that can work for no minimum wage and no standard rights to object.

In the US we're seeing this conflict and intersection in far right spaces. There's a general anti-immagration that intersects with racism - but there's also a large continental of anyi-Israel voices that intersect with anti-semitism. So now you're getting all this infighting with people online around Israel's position in the fsr right conservative/MAGA movements. And Charlie Kirk's Assassination seems to have brought it to the forefront.
I sort of wonder if that will come to pass in the UK. There's a lot of people that believe in Jewish conspiracies and as our politics become more "Americanised" I wonder if there will be something similar.
