Reform are ‘creating the conversation’. Apparently that is why they have such media coverage. So the regular interventions by Ed Davey or Stephen Flynn at PMQs over our r’ship with Trump aren’t worthy of a story or 6? The most important issue of our time?

What a fatuous comment- they are only “creating the conversation “ because the media are deciding what constitutes that creation.

Exactly - but some people think we should accept this nonsense like it’s some sort of science. News is a construct. Decisions are made

This was huge for the #MECFS and #LongCovid communities and an incredible effort from the #LibDems but Farage dominates the headlines, which means public awareness and recognition of vulnerable, underserved communities suffers

Yes there are so many issues like this. So many great things happening in parliament from all sides that no one gets to know about. The messenger is really important in a democracy

Unfortunately they do and there are so many that prove it despite being in the minority

Well it needs challenging and constantly by as many intelligent people as possible. Our democracy is at stake here.

They definitely think we're thick. Unfortunately, most of us are.

Haha

Well said. Farage says jump and the media and politicians say how high, and they do so knowing this ^.

The conversation should be:
Why do we have extractive freeports since brexit?
Who is funding you and why?
Why is the UK aiding genocide?

Not ghost stories.

Conversation about what?

The lies that caused Brexit?
An invasion by 0.2% of the island's population?
Payment of benefits to people who can't claim them?
Jobs taken by people who refuse to work?
Councillors who resign the day they're elected?

Or the treasonous fuckwit spouting lies about all this?
