Sorry. We hadn't realised she'd escaped.

Whenever I'm out and about 'doing the right thing' I too take an assistant to film me.
Normal behaviour, innit.

Returning? When did the public service begin?

Fakinell.
Nadine Dorries would be shocked.

Perfectly safe, apparently.
Whenever I clean my car I wake up the following morning to find that the local atmosphere has provided a protective cover of yellowish dust over the entire surface.
Automotive blanket of care.

Stop this nonsense.
Take it easy on the local delicacy.

They're not listening so the offer won't be heard. Isolated audience.
How far do you propose going in try to please? It'll never be enough. Misery can't be cured with a slice of birthday cake.

You really do like to judge people.
Maybe you are the problem.

Only when the silos are destroyed can we have a conversation. Until then we're just getting angry at the clouds (in more ways than one).
comment in response to
post
I'm not claiming to know the answer. We need to understand the issue first.
We must penetrate or, even better, destroy the silo.

Different policies won't be effective because you can't placate anger with constructive policy. Farage keeps shifting focus on the cause of all the problems because he knows it's not the cause. First it was the EU, then immigration, then Net Zero....

They're furious. Just as people were during the referendum. They are desperate for change because their life is shit (whether it is or not is irrelevant, it feels like it is).
Comms won't be effective because it won't penetrate the algorithms or the siloed FB Groups.
comment in response to
post
Fair statement.
Policies and improved Comms won't move the dial if people are in communication silos.
Those who are voting Reform are not ignorant. They're not even necessarily racist.
They're consuming curated information on social media that is making them miserable. It's the new Daily Mail.

post
Airtime would be relevant if we all consumed media from the same sources. We don't. The media landscape is fractured.
Farage is no longer desperate to get on TV.
comment in response to
post
Like leaving the ECHR? That's all Farage is offering.
Could offer the winning lottery ticket and it still wouldn't break through.
comment in response to
post
Because people are in bubbles. Comms will always fail. Always.
comment in response to
post
Even if immigration were zero tomorrow Farage would move on to something else. Just as he moved on from Brexit. Always a gripe.
Too many are trapped in a misery doom loop and Farage is happily exploiting it.
comment in response to
post
Take offence. It was intended.
Nullify options by becoming populist? The outsider always wins that game.
The options are few if you allow them to be.
The options are many if we utilise all the tools available. Then create more.

Its possible that the people I talk to are not showing in the data. Wouldn't surprise them if they didn't.

More of the same, but much better is not enough. The battlefield has changed. We've had 9 years to learn and the only ones who have done so are Farage and his gang.
Cavalry v Panzers.

Well done. More insults. Trumpian.
Better comms and policies won't scratch the surface - not when a large part of the electorate is siloed. Either get them or ignore them, and run the risk of them expanding.
comment in response to
post
Don't think policies would be enough. Not even the winning lottery ticket.
comment in response to
post
Close.
Aside from being insulting, what are you going to do to fight back?
comment in response to
post
Correct. Offered nothing, but enough people walked into the voting booths and chose them. Why?
Come on. You're not ignorant. We've already been through this 9 years ago. Why?
comment in response to
post
No, that isn't the only alternative.
Break the silos.
'Politics of hatred and division' - yet you call people ignorant.
Reform are offering the voters what they want.
Who else would you like to blame for taking a banana to a knife fight?
comment in response to
post
The trouble is, I think this would have been the outcome if the offer had been a rain free summer, the Ashes and a World Cup trophy.
Shit polices certainly don't help though.
