The Trump effect would be the Farage effect. Swagger and prejudice that are isolating and ruinous. The Brexit shitshow and America’s humiliation should be sounding very loud alarm bells. Not encouraging more stupidity. #localelections liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/366... - ThreadSky

With GMB the BBC and GBNEWS pushing them further to the front gullible people are being played. Labour have been gripped by the balls by the same folk the Tories syphoned all the cash too, all to put Tory x 2 into the mix.

A Reform vote is, “fool me twice, shame on me” territory. NF is a divisive, s**t-stirring grifter who, like Trump, whips up the crowd with diatribes on how awful/broken the country is & it’s all the fault of immigrants/any party bar his, yet despite no track record of competence, he’ll fix it.

💯 At every Trump rally, his message is about hatred, resentment of others.
Farage is the same. Humanity, decency and compassion die a bit more with every lie they tell.
These evil, vicious men are responsible for the mess, misery and suffering they cause but they always blame less fortunate people

jontybeeswax.bsky.social•31 days ago

My only hope is that people look at Brexit & realize that it's a shit show, then look at Trump & think "well, maybe that's not so great", then look at Reform's agenda & realize that they've got nothing past hate & division, & don't really have any solutions for anything that actually matters.

primeshade.bsky.social•31 days ago

They won't. They'll just keep moving the goalposts, and concocting increasingly flimsy excuses for the donkeys they've been betting on for the last decade, because that's far less embarrassing than admitting to themselves that they've been conned.

jontybeeswax.bsky.social•31 days ago

I fear that you're right, but we live in hope.

School acquaintances on the dreadful FB are posting endlessly on "Stop the Boats" and "Deport them all"
No compassion whatsoever and unable to join the dots. They all celebrate Christmas and Easter, tho.

And then what? They’ll finally be happy? Their lives will improve? Don’t think so. There’ll just be another vulnerable group to kick, while people rage about broken public services and being poorer. Hatred will never make a country work.

The people we need to worry about most come here in private yachts and private planes.

donnarejoin.bsky.social•31 days ago

The thing is, with these particular acquaintances, growing up, they all lived in the posh bit, and judging by their photos are very comfortable. Not much immigration in their little suburb either.
Awful.

Being a Trump supporter is to be a fascist .. such dangerous times for everyone .. they are ignoring history. Reform supporters are loving Trump .. wanting Farage to replicate him .. they are selfish fools .. Brexit was a con .. Farage like Trump is a con .. they need that kick in the head fast 😞

In chaos, opportunity - now covers both Reform and and the Conservatives.

csibike1.bsky.social•31 days ago

It seems that dissatisfaction with their lives- often due to inequalities but also incompetence- makes people vote for ‘strong men’ making delusional promises to improve their lives. Sadly, in reality all these swindlers want is power and to enrich themselves, weakening #democracy to rob our rights

Fagash would have us as the 51st state to keep his US grifting gravy train running

heppy111.bsky.social•31 days ago

I fear tomorrow's results will be a clear sign of where we're heading. A sign, I am certain, Labour will utterly ignore.

They claimed it would be "country 1st, party 2nd," which would've genuinely helped fix the UK, but in exculsively chaing a small n° of voters, they're doing the exact opposite.

baronandy.bsky.social•30 days ago

Despite the Brexit nightmare, incredibly #farage is still allowed to get away with any responsibility for his part in it. Why? Because @teamlabouruk.bsky.social Brexit policy has been an utter failure for 10 years now. #localelections

steambaron.bsky.social•31 days ago

Unfortunately, Labour’s reluctance to distance us from Trump’s America makes them unable to criticise Farage’s links to him.

parisintheeast.bsky.social•30 days ago

Fartrage, the Temu Trump.
They both have Steve Bannon's support and Russia's support.
What could possibly go wrong?

baradav.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yes - Farage has already promised to reduce "diversity" policies.

rodgerlrc.bsky.social•31 days ago

My worry is that we have our own home grown idiots who will believe whatever Farage dishes up. Please no....

stephen1958.bsky.social•31 days ago

But people just love their two-minute hate so much they don’t seem to care about anything else.
Farage and Trump both give them their little hate-fests.

agf1956.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yeah, but....but forriners init?

weztech.bsky.social•31 days ago

Hopefully before our next GE people will look over at the skip fire in America caused by Farage’s idol and decide they don’t want the same here…

hutch-man.bsky.social•31 days ago

Incredible right. We can see what Trump and MAGA right wing ideology is doing to America and yet uk will vote for Farage…

just-george.bsky.social•31 days ago

America has just started up the FAFO curve and look at the mess it’s in.

God help us if we follow suit.
