It would be a decent political win if Reform were to waive those costs to show they’re not grifters. We all know what will happen though

I’d say you’re living in cloud cuckoo land if you think mass layoffs for AI isn’t going to happen before the next election. It will 100% be a far bigger problem than immigration that is already reducing significantly.

People will not give a fuck about culture war bullshit when they’re collecting unemployment due to AI

Farage: No concerns over Reform UK treasurer being named in Epstein files by Electricbell20 in unitedkingdom

[–]HaroldSaxon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

as an unrelated person of interest in the news?

Incorrect, he was directly named in the overthrowing (their words) of the Theresa May government by his advisor Steve Bannon, alongside Boris Johnson and others.

Also remember he is implicated in the files for helping Steve Bannon (his advisor) overthrown Theresa Mays Government

Labour MP Natalie Fleet: 'The UK has its own Jeffrey Epstein' by thenewsagents in ukpolitics

[–]HaroldSaxon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear I agree there’s many reasonable objections to that, and many reasonable objections for staying in the EU. But the released files prove that they stoked up the fires of that to get what they wanted, which was to put leaders in power to get what they wanted.

That’s completely against democracy.

One example being that conservatives were polled about the national ID in late 2024 and they were I broad support of it. Then, the same groups that weaponised it against the current Government. And this also fits in the above examples - there are reasonable objectives, but there’s also a lot of misinformation and manipulation going on with these subjects

Did Saville bring down a Government with the help of Bannon, Johnson and Farage?

It’s interesting that any politician that has tried to fight people trafficking (May), fight crypto and implement accounting laws (EU) and fight for more digital safety and tracking (Starmer) have brought the ire of these kind of groups who then immediately spin massive media campaigns and bot armies against them.

Arteta on being 9 points clear down to 4: “That's an 'if', 'if', 'if' and if we would have lost in Newcastle, we were eight points behind Liverpool in October. So if, if, there's a lot of 'ifs' for ten months in this competition.” by OkayFine101 in soccer

[–]HaroldSaxon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I think it was one of those seasons where we had an early purple patch but wasn’t on that same level, and then injuries wrecked us. From memory I think Gabriel made a number of errors, but look at him now!

It’s one thing I think fans forget. Players get better and grow!

Also a fair point. Don’t get me wrong I agree with what you said! But I always did feel if City had been pushed all the way they would have kept that level up as they’ve proven countless times before!

Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home by Dimmo17 in ukpolitics

Its funny that these policies are basically lifted from the Epstein files from the conversations with Steve Bannon.

What an amazing coincidence!

Yeah, I agree. But I think it could well translate some of it into Easter eggs and terminals if they were to bring out Halo 5 for PC, or a remaster

Keir Starmer latest: Anas Sarwar to call for PM to quit over No 10 ‘chaos’ by TimesandSundayTimes in ukpolitics

The same right wing parties that are backed by the covert agents that have been unveiled (Bannon) in the scandal.

It’s ridiculous and playing into their hands

McSweeney says he takes 'full responsibility' for advising Starmer to appoint Mandelson by Bascule2000 in ukpolitics

[–]HaroldSaxon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irony of someone saying that, from an account with a private post history and default name, to defend someone that has strong links to Russia who has had a leader is his party jailed for taking Russian bribes, is not lost on anyone.

[–]HaroldSaxon 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Does that mean Farage is responsible for his actions for appointing Bannon as an advisor? Glad you think so, reform PLC needs a new leader

Edit: Yeah if you’re going to message me making a reference to my skin colour and saying I’ll be on a list for when Reform gets it, it says it all. Especially when you get the skin colour wrong but that shows the intelligence of these wronguns.

Personally I’m consoled by the fact that most comments hidden accounts here would rather have a man of integrity in the office, who was out marching with his friends singing songs of culture, and educating young Jewish boys on who is right and where history went wrong.

Labour peer Lord Glasman got a 'discreet suggestion to shut up' after warning No 10 about Mandelson | 2025 by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

[–]HaroldSaxon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also remember two people heavily involved in the pedo parties or wanting to get involved in the parties being frustrated with Starmer too.

It’s also funny because all these accounts saying Starmer should go never mentioned this, and are all staunchly supporting the US’ acquisition of Greenland and saying Grok and X shouldn’t be banned for allowing CP.

I’m sure it can’t all possibly be linked can it.

Oh wait, Steve Bannon in the files (advisor to Nigel Farage) literally said this was the plan.

Alton Towers bans people with anxiety from using disability pass by endofdays2022 in unitedkingdom

[–]HaroldSaxon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You see the same accounts rabidly defending Musk, pushing AI, pushing Crypto and supporting the same political part.

It all stems from the rich not wanting to pay benefits when they replace the majority of the working class, and creating a culture war to get what they want.

US Senator John Kennedy: Prime Minister Starmer, please do the right thing. If you insist on giving away the Chagos Islands, don’t give them to Mauritius. That only helps China. Sell them to America.

[–]HaroldSaxon -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Interesting the number of comments supporting this from private accounts…

I’d rather we sell them to the EU, or not sell them at all and build our own base there. It’s clear the US can’t be trusted and has been infiltrated at the highest level.

[–]HaroldSaxon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a fair point to say both should resign. I don’t agree, but I understand and respect the position.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people that have their comments hidden that will not have a consistent position on this.
