Hint.....
Many people actually voted for Brexit simply to get away from having to comply with laws made in foreign countries.
And if asked ..."which laws". They didn't know, did they?Many people actually voted for Brexit simply to get away from having to comply with laws made in foreign countries.

It seems someone did realise the error of their ways and deleted the offending tweet.
I’m surprised no one was outraged nearly a month ago when the tweet was originally put up.
I wonder why it’s a story on the 1st July? Is there anything happening this week?
It’s all a conspiracy! I’m surprised no one was outraged nearly a month ago when the tweet was originally put up.

No doubt Nige will claim foul play on Friday and claim the establishment is against him.

I just read about this story and knew immediately that you would have rushed to post it here as proof of Farage’s far right leanings.hstewie said:It’s absolute desperate rubbish. I doubt anyone at reform had any idea what the song even was. Its ‘far right’ anthem status dates back all of 6 months. So unless you are pretty clued up on far right memes you are going to struggle to make the link.
Do better.

Interesting that they are more enthusiastic towards Labour than the Sunday Times but also say this:The Financial Times has no fixed party political allegiance. We believe in liberal democracy, free trade and private enterprise, and an open, outwardlooking Britain. Often this has aligned us more with Britain’s Conservatives. But this generation of Tories has squandered its reputation as the party of business, and its claim to be the natural party of government. The party needs a spell in opposition to resolve its internal differences. We would not, though, wish to see the Conservatives so shattered that they are unable to fulfil the role of viable opposition that is vital to British politics.

Yeah, they selected the song because it was radio 1's chart topper, nothing more.It’s absolute desperate rubbish. I doubt anyone at reform had any idea what the song even was.

Just out of interest, and hypothetically speaking obviously, what bad things do the Reform haters on here think would happen if Reform were to win a majority ?
An economy like Greece, before it got the bailout.....M.
Reforms plans aren't THAT radical.

Not really. Many in the Sikh community may well support some of the Reform policies. Contrary to much of the twaddle in this thread, Reform hasn't claimed to a party devoted to just a dislike of ethnicity or colour.Another 'token' Asian person. Barrister as well.
