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.

TEN POSSIBLE EXPLANATIONS FOR WHY THE NOBEL COMMITTEE REJECTED DONALD TRUMP FOR THIS YEAR’S NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

10. They probably had no idea he wanted one

9. For a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas to truly be considered Nobel-worthy, it must last longer than 45 seconds

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

Don't expect an answer but if this is the polling landscape in 2 or 3yrs time please consider working with another party, if Labour loses more % to you and the Lib Dems, the two parties would have the numbers to beat Reform but only as a coalition.
Keeping Reform out should be THE number 1 priority.

MrSkinnyLegs @mrskinnylegz.bsky.social · 2d

Voted Labour last time but will not be next time unless Starmer does a Superman style transformation. But he won't.
The alternatives won't beat Reform unless they join forces.
The remaining Labour support needs to go to the Greens and Lib Dems to cover the Left and Centre, then work together FFS!

This poll (usually the most upwardly extreme outlier for Reform) shows that a 3rd of people don't want decent politics or politicians. They don't even have an interest in politics or policies beyond get rid of foreigners.
The lack of engagement with the rest of the way this country works is shocking

MrSkinnyLegs @mrskinnylegz.bsky.social · 2d

Always helps to put a face to these awful opinions. Otherwise they often just seem like words on a screen.

They actually came from someone's head.

So she's not for turning during the shutdown, what about the other two?

MrSkinnyLegs @mrskinnylegz.bsky.social · 2d

I realise I've just described the premise of Dexter / Batman but without the murders or capes.

Still, seems like an idea, unless Black Mirror's already done it....

MrSkinnyLegs @mrskinnylegz.bsky.social · 2d

New idea for a film / series. Wealthy, tech savvy, internet weary individual hacks social media sites and unmasks prolific trolls.
Hatches plan to visit them one by one and dish out humiliating vigilante style karma on them and post it online as a warning to other trolls.

Has it already been done?

Trying to coin a term for someone who dehumanises themself in order to become a target - auto-fascist?

MrSkinnyLegs @mrskinnylegz.bsky.social · 2d

Not another crazy at all

MrSkinnyLegs @mrskinnylegz.bsky.social · 2d

If he can justify the reaction to a massacre being a genocide then he probably agrees with beating the sh*t out of his wife if she burns his dinner.

Yes I reckon he abuses his wife and kids, if indeed he has either.

You'd think he wasn't aware of how wars are usually fought, happen all the time, all over the world in lots of different ways.

Genocide is the lazy, psychopathic way to win. Anyone can do it if they wanted but there are laws & morals in the way.

And he has the gall to say morals and 'civilisation'

It also transpired that because I'm not a minor he doesn't want to have sex with me.

What a Trump fanboy eh?

David thinks he's protecting civilisation yet his views are just as barbarous as those of Hamas.

As long as he wants to exterminate the Palestinians conflict will return.

What a POS.

Killing thousands of children has nothing to do with morals.

You're lost.

MrSkinnyLegs @mrskinnylegz.bsky.social · 2d

The guy speaks like a psychopathic robot. He's lost.

What five year old Fox clips has he been watching this week?

Oh yes another fine specimen of the master race casting judgment on other people.

Do these people not own mirrors.

F*cking rat boy.

MrSkinnyLegs @mrskinnylegz.bsky.social · 3d

Yes they all went back.

Seems those guys were key to something.

Now all we have is workshy Brits writing "Vote Reform" on Facebook all hours of the day.

( I'm self employed and use a computer so can do this whenever on my own time lol )

MrSkinnyLegs @mrskinnylegz.bsky.social · 3d

Yes there is disproportionate attention on the Israeli genocide compared to others but to assume that's solely one reason, now that is ignorance

However there isn't a modern genocide so roundly defended, explained away or denied as this either.

Try & find the nuance in the reasons for that though

Portland is a warzone.

The radical Left want to kill us all (and our children)

So I'm going to stand on top of this tall building for an extended period of time looking straight at people, a prime target for the crazies and their rifles.

Yea sure, the threat is real 🤦‍♂️

MrSkinnyLegs @mrskinnylegz.bsky.social · 3d

When the antisemitism badge won't stick why not just try accusing of flat out racism instead?

Honestly, this guy just wants me to say I don't like him so he can attach a label to it.

Sometimes people can care more about ethics, morals and politics than religion or race. Yes, it really is true. 🤫

You won't learn but for your education:
Judaism is an ethnic religion.
Jews are members of an ethnic group who may or may not practice that religion (in today's world, most don't).

If you had a minimal interest in an honest discussion, you would have known this by now.
Bye
