UK - have you lost your mind? The US health system sucks and it’s expensive. Why is anyone considering this?

Billionaires want to strip everyone of basic human rights all in the name of greed.

Farage supports replacing the nhs with insurance-based healthcare. Americans spend twice as much as the UK, yet millions are without cover. The biggest US healthcare Co. challenges 1/3 of claims. It's a colossal scam that Farage's friends want to exploit.

Farage loves the poorly educated. #reform

Slightly disappointed to see that Jess is still on twitter. She had a massive following while I was still there, but I'm not sure that justifies using a platform that monetises your content to actively support far right groups.

Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Of course if it was national govt, they'd be able to blame it on the enemy within and do mass arrests. Luckily Councils can't do that. Just because they are hopeless, clueless wankers, do not believe they aren't dangerous.

The Tories were dishonest about what could be achieved for the money throughout their time in government. For the last two years, when they knew they wouldn't win again, they deliberately flew the plane into the ground. They should NEVER be a party of government again, IMO.

This, in particular,should chime with any centre right voter or politician. We might add that Lam’s desire to torch previously agreed permanent residence rules will make life very difficult for millions of British citizens settled long term abroad, who rely on foreign govt’s abiding by such rules.

Ban non pro Reform / Right Wing marches & protests ✅
Arrest opponents on trumped up charges ✅
Arrest & deport migrants ✅
Overlook crimes by Reform✅

Headline by Daly telegraph quoting Danny Kruger of Reform, saying that politicians would have control of police

Nobody not in an overtly racist NF/BNP party supported this principle articulated by Lam (past pledges to foreigners don't count) in 1971-3, 1981-3 or 2016-2020

So Nigel Farage, Katie Lam + Philp are *objectively* more hardline than Enoch Powell/Monday Club on the forced removal of settled migrants

The poem is gently good.

This presentation is gentle party-political.

The two merge, and leave you to think about it.
