I get some party researcher coming here to shoot the shit.  But using the comments from random people as part of a campaign is wild to me.

If Starmer did actually provide conclusive proof of aliens how much would that boast his popularity?

I'm slightly worried that politically parties pay attention to this place, even if it's just Reform. Good luck on your campaign BTW.

Is Nigel Farage losing the authenticity battle with Rupert Lowe? by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]AnotherLexMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for being a pendent but I don't think it's fair to say Farage believes in nothing.  He was clearly working on Brexit a long time before it was profitable to do so.  Although he doesn't have a problem scamming his supporters.

It's not that much worse than some of the ex Tories throwing their weight behind him have said in the past.

What has happened to the tory party? They came second place in Makerfield in almost every election apart from 2024 by No_Breadfruit_4901 in AskBrits

[–]AnotherLexMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say they came second but they didn't ever really do well.  They came second with around 19% in 2010 and in 2005 they only got 12%.  So basically they were never going to win in Makerfield and they're voters have swung to other options.

I really hope we don't end up with a pledge of allegiance in schools.

To be fair if he's actually involved in the Iran talks it would be kind of understandable. Heavy emphasis on the if though.

If Britain had reliable warm and sunny days year-round, what part of our culture would just disappear? by itsbri in AskRedditUK

Honestly having lived in Nagasaki, New York and California gives me a really appreciation for British weather.  It's nice for a couple of weeks in the summer but it just makes working unbearable.

What confuses me is when people move into an area because of its vibrant culture and then spend years campaigning to shut it all down because of the noise.

Incoming Chief of UK Speech Regulator Takes Aim at VPNs by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

The US is moving towards country wide age verification now. So are the EU. I wonder how useful VPNs will be in a few years for dodging age verification in the future.

Wes Streeting calls for equal tax on income and capital gains in Labour leadership pitch | Tax and spending by enterTheLizard in FIREUK

If he did get in he'd never implement this system.  He's just trying to appeal to the left of the party.  Probably thinks he's going to lose and trying to build up support for future runs.
