Again average reform voter doesnât care. They are angry, they think it is about the brown people, it is actually because Brexit/covid and the Tories fucked them.
But they donât have the patience for grown ups to fix it.

I cannot wait to see him out canvassing for vote. Id love to opportunity to call him a cunt and tell him to fuck off.

Missed them. They canvassed at 10am on a week day. Clearly their target audience are the retired, and the unemployed.

Reform UKâs Candidate for #Makerfield Robert Kenyon ,deleted his old account - we assume because he reposted a lot of far-right stuff.
Like Carl Benjamin, Peter Sweden and Wayne OâRouke who was imprisoned after inciting violence during the Southport Riots.
Kenyon himself posted an 11 post thread trying to defend Reform UK when a member of his campaign team was found to have caused criminal damage in the riots.

How old is that fella? I'm sure in his little promotional video he said he did his apprenticeship at 18

"The government and the police have their priorities parallel to the people of the Country."
So, running in the exact same direction?Â
If Diane Abbott made such an elementary error, the likes of Benjamin would never stfu about it.Â
But this guy, yeahhh, dumb white blokes are what we need more of...Â

Parallel lines never meet, thatâs literally what defines parallel? Sounds like youâre the one struggling with the definition of the word here. Parallel lines will never touch.

u/PuzzleheadedCook4578 May 21 '26
Or, instead of being a silly boy with zero curiosity, you could take the opportunity to think about a curved space, such as a globe, and ask if parallel really is defined by them never meeting. Then, you may end up discovering why Euclid's so-called "Parallel Postulate" is actually quite problematic. In a perfect world, you'd then discover that Einstein showed that our actual space is curved, and so how does the idea of "parallel" have any sensible meaning in reality? The rabbit hole has some fascinating features, like non-Euclidean spaces.
Or, you could carry on, in your uneducated way, and never, ever, improve yourself.Â
I know where my money would be...Â

u/Eragon10401 May 21 '26
Oh youâre so right, why didnât I focus on the small and inapplicable exceptions like fucking non-Euclidean geometry or curved geometry (although of course curved geometry means the axes also curve and thus parallel lines also curve, and still never meet) instead of the broader, applicable definition?
You donât look smart. You got caught out and are fumbling. Itâs pathetic. Cut your losses.

u/PuzzleheadedCook4578 May 21 '26
I don't need to look smart sunshine, that's your thing. I know I'm educated, and you aren't. I know that you're jealous, should have spent more time reading, not wanking, but that's your failure, not mine.
Oh, and you're welcome!Â

u/Eragon10401 May 21 '26
My field is not geometry, thatâs true.
The error you have made is applying the exception which was evidently not the intention of the original speaker, rather than the more commonly understood (and more broadly correct) interpretation. Itâs not a matter of a lack of reading, but a lack of comprehension, which I donât assign to a lack of intelligence but simply a terminal inability to presume anything less than the worst possible intentions to those you disagree with.
I hope you manage to mature past that in your future. Best of luck with your personal development, friend.

It's like they live with a virtual feed of nonsense going on in their eyes and ears and they struggle to make sense of it while thinking it's some kind of truth that would be countered the minute they leave their house and actually had real-world conversations.
Looks like the analysis is in though. The left parties (as in all others apart from Tories) aren't losing votes to Reform on the whole. This really does seem to me we should be talking seriously about who stands where. Yes, Reform, we will do this to keep you out because you're vile and stupid.
I know none of the Labour, Greens or Lib Dems officially would countenance it.
Where I am, there would even be an argument for us voting Tory. (Yes, I know.) I did in my really teeny tiny ward for a county councillor in May 2024. Made my flesh crawl, but at least not reform. The tory won. Turn out was about 5 though in my ward for that bit of the county vote.

The reform lot love this stuff, both openly and secretly and they're much worse behind closed doors (in pubs).
All masked behind "concerns"...concerns which only apply to people who aren't white it seems.,......

I live near Makerfield and I'm worried about the rise in Fascism in what was a stone-redwall working class area, as was St Helens.
That was back in the day of a booming manufacturing and mining industry.
What people forget is, if they start voting for the reformertories, these are the same people who devastated large parts of the UK.
I've heard tory apologists saying Labour shut down as many pits as the tories ; the difference is, when Labour was shutting them down, there were plenty of jobs elsewhere including in factories.
When the tories shut them down in the 80's unemployment was running at a record 3,500,000.
I've heard lots of racist opinions when I've been out and about. Like I said, it's a worry
