Reform are a new party and I'm sure will have many teething issues and will never be perfect. But everyone who is criticising them needs to ask themselves if they think there's any way they could possibly be any worse than Labour or the likes of Lammy. Because the only way to break the Tory, Labour cycle with neither of them carrying out the majoritys wishes is to get Reform into power.

Your right, it's a cycle and we need to break it. One word, Reform!

Apparently the Chagos islands 'deal' is going to cost us 50 Billion pounds. Yes, 50 Billion for the privilege of giving away our territory. A territory with huge strategic importance, particularly in relation to China. All while Labour is freezing our pensioners to death over a fictional funding blackhole. You couldn't make it up.

A very well presented insight, with much of your point proven right by the thousands of miscarriages of justice in the travisty that was the post office scandal. I think many in the uk are waking up to the fact our legal system, like many other institutions in the UK, far from being the envy of the world, are in reality, not as great as we've been led to believe.

As for Lucy Letby, if someone had asked me a few years ago in a case like hers whether I thought there was a chance she might be innocent, I'd have said not a chance. Since the latest scandales however, while still of the belief she probably did it, I'm not so sure. Like everything else in this country, the legal system is clearly broken. I was going to go into that and your quite right, a two tier system for the rich and powerful and everyone else is very clearly still alive and well.

And it is that attitude that the system is more important than an individual that leads to cases like the grooming gang and post office scandals, which ironically does far more harm to the system than if genuine miscarriages of justice were corrected at the earliest opportunity. I wonder if Lord denning would hold the same views if he were banged up for nothing, what a disgraceful individual.

Normally I'd agree. But when the rule makers were flouting their own laws. People were locked in their own homes, people denied seeing their loved ones before they passed away and life saving hospital treatment cancelled. If your someone affected by things I've mentioned, it's a very bitter pill to swallow.

👍

Yes really, just worded differently 😂

Thats pretty much the reasons I gave 🤔

I think the vast majority who voted to remain were either uninformed and followed the government advise, or had vested interests like job reliance on EU membership, the very wealthy, those with holiday homes ect. When you think about it, it stands to reason, why else would you want your country ruled by foreign powers.

Hypothetically, I wonder what would happen in such a scenario if someone claimed they were being approached by a hostile individual with a gun before the line going dead. They surely couldn't ignore that 🤔

Not really, the police don't only turn up after it's kicked off. They will attend peaceful protests and it's very easy to have one rule for one protest like blm and another for others. I don't condone any poor behaviour at protests and certainly not riots, but we currently have two tier policing and that is also wrong and will only drive anger.

Because criminals know they can act with impunity. It's this pink fluffy policing and prioritising minimising harm instead of preventing crime. Here's an example:- a police persuit, criminals know that if they drive dangerously enough the police will break off their persuit of them. The polices reasoning is that it's safer. Imo it's not, if every criminal was within reason persued in a car chase and harsh sentences given out for dangerous driving and failure to stop. The criminals would get locked up and not be on the streets to commit crime, they would stop fleeing as they'd know their not going to get away and be punished servery when caught. Not pursuing therefore makes more danger in the long run by creating lawless criminals with no fear of being caught and ultimately bought to justice. Multiply that by many offences these days, coupled with 2 tier policing and the end result is what we have today.

They should have all had their details taken and been ordered to leave the land for a mixture of aggravated trespass and criminal damage, anyone refusing, details (or if the provided details were in doubt, or offering resistance, should have been nicked. If a couple of units were sent initially and faced any issues with gathering evidence, backup should have been sent, so the criminals be dealt with properly. Whats so radical about that. The public wanting criminals to face justice?
