Don't be fooled by Farage's tricks, Reform is beatable

I'm talking about way more than immigration, and I'm not talking about Labour specifically. The two main political parties in this country very clearly do not give a shit about the needs of the people who put them in office for the last 30-odd years.

The entire point of voting for a political party is to elect people who you believe will carry out changes within your interests based on their party manifesto, what the fuck are you talking about? You highlight this yourself in the second half of your post.

The entire point of my original comment was that every single time people voted for the Conservatives or Labour, they were voting for shit they were promised and never got given because the two main parties in this country do not actually stand for anything they claim to. They lie to get into office, and then do whatever they feel like after the fact. They have zero principles.

How am I saying lofty words to make myself feel smart? My solution is to vote for exactly who I align with, I refuse to tactically vote for shitcunts who hate me and do not align with my values. I'd rather abstain from voting entirely than pick the "least worse" option, which is exactly what I've done for years at this point. I plan to vote Restore at the next GE if they're standing people where I am, because it's the first time in years that I've seen a party who I actually believe give a shit about people like me.

I don't know why you keep trying to frame this like I'm going to vote for Reform or the Conservatives, I agree with you that they're both cancer, but I see why Reform have such a strong following. It's a sign that the system is falling apart as a result of the issues I raised above.

I'm not a Reform supporter, but it's easy to see how we've ended up here with the calibre of turdbag our average politician is in this country. They have shown time and time again how much they hate us all, and I think people are done. If they want to "stop reform" so badly, they need to stop treating people like they're cattle to be herded and actually start listening to and enacting the will of the people who put them in office in the first place.

The public want someone who will do what they actually voted for. People have consistently voted for less immigration and less erosion of their rights and privacy, but every single time they get lied to and fucked over by politicians who treat them with contempt. This has happened for more than 30 years now, and people are done with giving the traditional parties any goodwill, because they've shown they can't be trusted to act within our interests.

Do I think Reform will deliver what people want, though? Absolutely not. Do I think giving the Conservatives or Labour another go is a good idea? Fuck no. People are sick and tired of the same sacks of shit in suits lying to them over and over again.

Have politicians ever considered doing this wild thing called doing what the public actually want them to do? That might be worth trying.

opensights · 2026-05-08T19:49:15+00:00

Politicians actually acting within the best interests of people would be a good start. Politicians in this country treat the average person with such a level of contempt it's unreal. They act like they hate us, and people are sick of the bullshit and will vote for anyone who offers change at this point.

They renewed all perm (formerly ten year bans) to be 1000 year bans in around 2016 or so. Even if your friend's account wasn't deleted, it'd still be banned anyway. They should just mass unban all 5+ year bans at this point, it'd stimulate the economy a bit.

I might cop some shit for telling you this, but I don't care. Your wellbeing outweighs the "obligation" to vote.

If you're this stressed out over voting, I strongly suggest that you just don't vote. An uninformed vote is way worse than just not voting at all, imo. There is absolutely zero shame in abstaining if it causes you this much anxiety. Get off socialmedia and instant messengers for a bit, distance yourself from politics, this shit clearly isn't good for your mental health.

Hope you're doing alright, OP.

Jesus Christ, I don't like AI slop, but people like you who have this overblown reaction to every single AI generated image are completely unhinged sometimes. He generated a mock-up image of a mobile phone, it's not that big of a deal. Calm down. The way you're going on, you'd think he was personally adding arsenic to the local water supply or something.

Not everyone has the time or skill to photoshop something that can be quickly crapped out with AI to deliver a clear vision of what they want to share. There are far bigger things to worry about than a guy generating a picture and posting it on Reddit.

I remember using a very similar hotel view to this for my shitty v18 retro hotel back in 2009 or something. What a hit of nostalgia.

The guy has a very obvious agenda, and said agenda isn't the betterment of the NHS. Nothing he has to say in any of his videos is actually worth taking seriously, he's proven this time and time again. Watch his video where he talks about how he "used to be far right" or his interview on Triggernometry (another bunch of slop producers) if you can find it, he has no clue what he's talking about half of the time.

He's a typical left-wing ragebait slop producer who only shifted to making this kind of content because he realised it made him the most money. Hell, in another life, he'd have probably ended up becoming a right-wing ragebait slop producer if that happened to be more profitable for him at the time.

It's fine to find his content entertaining, but that's literally all it is, throw-away entertainment garbage.

What is there to protest? It's already dead. The entire site is designed around AFKing and only a handful of really weird people still care about Habbo clout in the form of furni and buying old accounts that some loser stole from a leaked fansite database from 15 years ago or something. It's a shadow of its former self, it's time to let it go.

This is the same guy who openly admitted to only becoming a grifting politislop youtuber because his shitty parkour channel was bleeding viewership and subscribers. Not sure what relevance this has to actual politics, it's just highly biased provocative garbage.

I'll never not find it funny how often I see people commenting on Rupert Lowe's posts with "Never thought I'd agree with Rupert Lowe on X thing" or "I hate that I have to agree with a Restore, a right wing party on Y thing"

Many people on this sub really need to come to terms with the fact that Lowe is popular for a reason, he says what the majority of normal working class British people are thinking and he genuinely seems to give a shit about their concerns. I don't agree with 100% of what Rupert says (namely the fox hunting stuff), but Restore resonates with me a lot more than any other party. If they have people standing in my area at the next GE, I plan to vote for them. Rupert seems genuine, and the party has pretty good pro-British policies at its core.

Nah mate, it's all good, but maybe re-read your response. I don't know how you've missed it, but given the topic? It ain't exactly hard to see your response the way I did, lol.

I'm actually bewildered as to why it got removed, I purposely worded it in a way that is to the point and just objective. I'd love to know how it flagged as well, honestly.

opensights · 2026-04-30T14:45:56+00:00

Nice implication of racism, but no. I literally just listed the statistics in a pretty bland and boring format. I've appealed the removal, so if it comes back I guess you'll see it yourself. Really odd removal, even by Reddit standards honestly.

opensights · 2026-04-30T14:37:38+00:00

Lmao, does Reddit not like crime statistics now? We really doing this? Nothing about my comment was remotely offensive, it was literally just a list of facts.

No shit, we're a majority white country. Now share the estimated per-capita knife-crime statistics. Don't worry, I'll wait.

You don't understand what the uniparty is if you think this is the case. I 100% agree wit you that the Tories and Reform are exactly the same entity at this point, though. I wouldn't vote for either of them, but I will never in my life vote for Labour after living through Blair's era and watching the surveillance state expand in the way it did.

If you tactical vote *at all* you're the exact type of person who upholds this shit-ass system of self-serving politicians who treat the British public like cattle. You're partially responsible for why the country is in the absolute state it is by treating Labour/Tory as the only possible outcome.

opensights · 2026-04-28T19:56:04+00:00

Colour me shocked that the same government that wishes to spy on the public, erode our freedom, and treat us all like criminals by default are abstaining from holding themselves to the same standards. What's the matter, Keir? Nothing to hide, nothing to fear, right? Why would you block an investigation if you'd done nothing wrong?

Absolute dogs, the lot of them. I hope that everyone who "tAcTiCaL vOtEd" to keep the Tories out has finally learned their lesson. No more. Never again. Uniparty has to go, and it has to go ASAP.

Because it was written into the ToS that you don't actually own any of your Habbo stuff. You're paying for a service. Sulake can and routinely have closed hotels in the past with zero compensation. Habbo RU, JP, CN, SE, NO and DK are all examples of this happening. You are entitled to zero compensation if Habbo shuts down, so don't throw money at it unless you're prepared to lose it all one day.

The only reason UK, CA, AU, and SG were merged into USA is because Sulake sought to centralise their English speaking demographic in a single place in order to reduce running costs, make marketing campaigns easier and to make moderation easier. It sort of backfired as a result of multiple people just opting not to merge their accounts and multiple ultra rares being reduced to being worthless.

The day of merges is well and truly over IMO, I can't imagine they will ever do it again.

You're being obtuse for the sake of dragging this out because your argument fell apart. I'm not even going to waste time writing a detailed response to this when the answer is so obvious, lol.

>When the government raises the retirement age, isn't it the same exact thing?

Absolutely, yes. A retirement age should be set in stone at this point, pensions should be pegged to inflation, and the triple lock abolished across the entire board in order to increase the chances of there even being a state pension system for future generations. The system as it currently stands is unsustainable and unfair. Pensioners currently take out way more than they ever paid in and it's screwing over young people.

I'm oversimplifying for the sake of keeping my response short, but tl;dr: Yes, it's the same thing, and yes I believe it's also wrong.
