There’s a lot of anger out there. Mainly inflamed by YouTube, it would seem.

Seeing a lot of older people disappearing down RW rabbit holes. They really don’t realise what’s going on, or think their views are right wing.

Agree. Everyone worrying about adolescents on social media while granny and grandad are constantly on hate-filled Facebook, GB News etc.

Yep. Conversations with these people - they’re genuinely surprised that other perspectives are even available. “If what you’re telling me is true, it’s the first time I’ve heard it.”

Exactly right.

Farage will continue to flourish while we continue to elect the likes of Starmer.

Reform should really be titled same old, same old

We have a media ecosystem saying the UK is crap and everything is failing, people believe it often without referencing the Tory years. The current government is trying to right the wrongs but is politically inept without media support

Is anyone surprised people are angry and are attracted to Reform

Please don't promote him even by mentioning his name. Call him Fart Rage and we will all know the evil of whom you speak.

PS Angry Spittoon. Great simile.
