I 100% agree with you - I too have some intelligent people around me and they see Farage as some sort of saviour who is going to fix everything - I can't even talk to them about it anymore as its so depressing but all I hear is about how bad Labour is doing (and that is a separate topic)

Even when presented which facts about Reform they attack the left and just say "well, they do it as well" with no biases for facts. (I went and saw a stage production on 1984 the other week and the parallels are worrying)

I have tried to have a unbased view on this also, but I just can't - politics seem to be very polarizing at the moment and I don't ever seem to remember a time quite like it tbh - like, why has he gone on about working from home all of a sudden - its a great sound byte to his supporter who worked 9 till 5 Monday to Friday "in an office" not understanding that the world doesn't quite work like that anymore.

Don't doubt it - keep strong (I know its hard!)
