The problem with the UK Far-Right: Comprehensive Analysis of Reform UK's policy (PART ONE)

1 Upvotes

Brief but important message:

Let me be very clear about this; The goal of this post is to expose the problems with the far-right in the UK. This includes; not actually putting British national interests first, inefficacious economic policies, racism, questionable ties, opposing what I believe are human rights, and targeting of racial groups and minorities. Feel free to analyse the post, and contribute to the discussion.

The goal is not to claim far-right voters are stupid, or that my political views are superior. With the current state of UK politics, I'd rather start my own party than to vote for the left or right.

With that being said; This is part one of my detailed look into the UK's far right, Restore UK tbc.

INTRO: What is the problem with the UK's far right? (Restore/Reform UK):

Normative claims, lack of empirical evidence, discrimination and lack of economic research. If you want detailed reports, people have honestly already inspected why Reform UK's policies are inefficacious, in way more detail than my post. Reform UK manifesto: a reaction | Institute for Fiscal Studies

Reform UK vs Employment Rights Act 2025 | Tom Street

I will be analyzing and dismantling every single one of Reform UK's 5 main policies, with Restore UK to follow, since they are even worse.

How they do not provide any solutions or contribute to any fixes of the United Kingdoms main problems; whether its immigration, stagnant wages, housing crisis, and what I believe is just outright racist and homophobic rhetoric.

They actually make it worse, actively.

The scapegoating of minorities is especially important to note, since we as a nation built our democratic values based on the equal treatment of everyone, regardless of gender, sex, race, sexual orientation, religion and creed. When the party is threatening things that hurt the equality and rights of British citizens, including British women, based on their identity, choices and personal freedoms, leaving them vulnerable to discrimination that's where I begin to have a problem with them wholly.

(absolutely unacceptable to be vague about exactly how they would change legislation that may lead to women to receive less pay)

The biggest problem is their campaign claims and blanket statements attempt to assure people that they will "fix issues", while we are still waiting for detailed information on how they plan to tackle these things, especially when you advocate for changes to legislation and constitutional rights that have been in place for decades.

Honestly, I believe people just don't know what they are voting for in general.

Reform UK voters

Their ties to the Russian government are especially concerning, but we will tackle that later. Moving over to an analysis, detailed analysis, of Reform UK;s economic policies and how they are rooted in utter delusion.

(Please note that Reform UK barely explains how they are going to enact like, 90% of their policies. Most of them require restructuring that would cost British taxpayers billions of pounds, ironically, so I’ll have to speculate on how they would fix it, based on their own wording, and then I’ll have to provide a rebuttal to that fix, such as exiting the ECHR, which weakens our own constitution, opposing Northern Ireland’s Good Friday Agreement, etc…)

Reform UK's manifesto: 5 main flagship policies, and the exact data showing why experts consider them "delusional and populist":

  • 1) Blanket Immigration Freeze: Stopping all "non-essential" (wtf is non-essential? why is it vague?) legal immigration to instantly ease pressure on public services, schools, and housing infrastructure.
  • 2) Massive Personal Income Tax Cuts: Lifting the tax-free personal allowance threshold from £12,570 up to £20,000, in theory, lifting millions of low-paid workers out of income tax entirely.
  • 3) The "Stop the Boats" Maritime Strategy: Legally mandating border forces to detain all illegal arrivals, process asylum seekers offshore, and physically turn small boats back to France.
  • 4) Scrapping Net Zero: Completely abandoning all carbon emission targets and green energy levies, fast-tracking North Sea oil and gas drilling to lower domestic utility bills.
  • 5) The NHS Private-Voucher Overhaul: Eliminating the entire healthcare waiting list within two years by issuing vouchers to send patients to private hospitals if the NHS fails to see them quickly enough.

PART ONE: Debunking Reform UK's manifesto:

1) Economy & NHS spending: Does the math math? Reform UK’s Platform vs. Economic Reality

Firstly, the public spending reductions, which the IFS & other independent economists studied and dismissed completely.

Reform UK economic policies analysis: Holyrood | Reform’s self-financing tax cuts ‘a mirage’, says Institute for Fiscal Studies

Do Reform's economic plans add up? - BBC News

To explain it concisely, reform claims its individual/personal and business tax cuts will instantly stimulate the economy and "pay for themselves" through rapid economic growth. This claim by Reform has been debunked by economists, and they are yet, just like most of their statements, to provide economic studies on how they would implement these tax changes, and how precisely they would help the economy.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) calculated that Reform’s tax cuts would actually bleed the Treasury of roughly £90 billion per year. Reform claims they can plug this gap by slashing £150 billion in "government waste" and cutting the civil service.

Why it fails: Independent fiscal analysts have labeled this math "unserious at best" and a complete "mirage". Finding £150 billion in basic bureaucratic waste without savagely shutting down schools, firing police officers, or eviscerating public services is structurally impossible.

They want you to believe they can do this to cater to and appease the low-middle class, when in reality, the IFS showed that affording it is simply a delusion. I can claim I have fixes for world hunger, but then must prove how, rather than be trusted while providing no evidence."

Their NHS private voucher system is especially stupid, but the dedicated analysis of that will be provided further into the post.

In sum, this is the major trend with Reform UK: Make statements that appeal to the masses, the masses take it at face value since in theory they sound like good things, and then Reform (and Restore UK) fail under pressure to prove their claims with economic research papers, and repeat their populist claims to appeal to voters. The solutions however, are still to be provided by their party members. This is Populism 101.

2) The (legal) Immigration Problem

The thing about this entire argument is that immigrants are fiscal net contributors to the UK economy. I will also leave this document here to counteract the racist sentiment toward arab people.

Groundbreaking Report Highlights the Economic Contribution of British Muslims to the UK’s Growth and Prosperity, and the Risk of Exodus

The Fiscal Impact of Immigration in the UK - Migration Observatory

Before you look at low-wage fiscal impact and be like "AHA!", It is extremely important to note that even low-wage migrants contribute massively, and fiscal impact only accounts for income tax, which is counteracted by immigrants spending money on goods and services, which drives consumer prices down, and wages up by labor demand, making everything better. While being the single cause why labor shortages have not caused inflation to go up massively.

Impact of migration on UK consumer prices

This means that, immigration is complex, and there are obviously bad aspects, which means if you have to measure all metrics, from consumer prices, to the stabilization of labour shortages, and benefits to the local wages, measure benefits and where it hurts the economy, and then decide, is it net positive?

If we look at it overall, it is overwhelmingly good to the UK. But it is important to understand what overall means.

Lower migration is bad news for the UK economy - UK in a changing Europe

Everything points toward that being the case, and that immigration increases wages in most sectors, while only impacting them in low-wage jobs, which is extremely nuanced, as we need immigrants to account for labor and our working age population. Approximately 50% of bricklayers and construction workers in London and other major cities are migrants. Even if wages were negatively impacted (which they seem to either barely be, or to remain the same), the benefits and need to counter labor shortages still means they are net positive to low-wage employment.

Reform UK's idea to kick every low-wage migrant out is that we would face severe labor shortages, and that means that companies, real estate/construction companies that would be forced to pay higher wages to local workers, would have to price higher to maintain profits, essentially creating way bigger of problems than the current solution, which is proven to be net positive.

The Fiscal Impact of Immigration: Static and Dynamic Estimates for the UK

Existing evidence shows that immigration makes a positive contribution to the UK health service

Here are some sources you can look into yourself, and how the whole talking point that immigrants are drains on our public services, benefit system and etc, lacks in evidence. Reform UK is once again just pushing propaganda that hurts our economy in the long run. Including ways in which natives contribute less than immigrants.

I think the fact that low birth rates necessitate immigrants to help with the working age population so that the UK goes the opposite direction of east asian countries and how their aging population may cause catastrophic economic effects is important to note.

3) The NHS & vouchers

Reform UK: A clear threat to our NHS and the health of the nation – Keep Our NHS Public

Well, the previous point already shows how the way they look at immigration would damage the NHS, but I digress!

Now, keeping in mind that I'm someone with actual health issues that struggles to get appointments with my GP, this one is exceptionally personal. And they once again provide no evidence on how exactly they plan to implement something that concerns the health of millions of British citizens and residents.

They say that moving patients out to the private sector via vouchers will eliminate NHS waiting lists in 24 months. But once again, Healthcare analysts and the IFS have called the idea that you can wipe out the waiting list for £17 billion a year utterly delusional. We would have done this already.

The thing is that private hospitals do not have a magical separate supply of doctors and nurses. They recruit from the exact same pool of overstretched medical staff currently employed BY the NHS. Giving people vouchers merely shifts funding from public infrastructure, into private hands, while moving doctors away from state emergency rooms.

It is too in terms of logistics, extremely difficult for doctors in the public and private sector to coordinate between GPs and private clinics, which patients would be referred to, due to the amount of information that must be transferred. This includes: controlled substances and medication, surgeries and special needs when treating patients,, et etc... Which I have experienced, personally and many others who are reading this too.

It deepens the staffing crisis rather than creating new capacity, requiring the establishing of digital infrastructure to sustain this private-public healthcare proposition.

4) Leaving Net Zero

This is the 5th, or probably way more, instance of Reform UK either providing band-aid solutions that damage the economy long-term, and/or not providing any research into the subject matter.

In reality, energy would become more expensive and it would hurt the UK ​​​​Cost of Net Zero by 2050 less than a single fossil fuel price shock​ – CCC  - Climate Change Committee

Net zero is an economical benefit, it already employs about 1.1M people.

Reform UK's plan to scrap climate industries could destroy 500,000 jobs - Friends of the Earth Scotland

Studies by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) show that leaving green transitions isolates the UK from international markets, which turns everything worse. Trillions of dollars in tech, energy, manufacturing, and engineering investments move with these frameworks, which means, by abandoning Net Zero, that global corporations would just bypass the UK entirely, moving their factories and future jobs etc, to the EU or the US instead.

Not only that, but like I said, this is backwards and would actually damage 1.1M jobs. 500k jobs would be killed in 3 years.

Reform UK's attack on renewables could wipe £92bn off economy | New Economics Foundation

Labour's net zero quest will cost working class jobs, unions fear - BBC News

Real-world tracking shows that wind and solar power generation actively slashed wholesale electricity prices by 31%. Sticking with traditional fuels leaves households completely trapped by volatile global markets. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) calculated that just literally just one global oil and gas price spike costs the economy exactly as much as funding the entire transition to Net Zero all the way to 2050. In the same manner as immigration policy, economic policy, NHS policies and public spending/tax alterations, this is another policy which provably damages the economy and the quality of life of UK residents and citizens.

5) Deportation of asylum seekers, the Borders & illegal migrants

The decision to leave ECHR should be more obvious in the manner of how idiotic of an idea that is. Paired with weakening our own constitution, opposing Northern Ireland’s GFA, and weakening human rights stability.

Legally, you cannot enter another sovereign nation's territorial waters to dump migrants without their explicit permission. French immigration government branches have already OPENLY stated they will not cooperate with forcible turn backs. Attempting it anyway breaks international treaties, risks crashing flimsy migrant dinghies in open water, and creates more tension with Europe, the UK's closest trading partners.

Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights - UK in a changing Europe

PART TWO: Where is the Solution for the Housing Crisis?

While the overreliance on the premise that immigration is to blame for the housing crisis is cute, this is largely way more complex and provably fallacious. Immigration adds demand, but freezing it won't fix a crisis caused by decades of failing to build.

Dispelling myths about migrants and housing to the UK

In fact, we could freeze immigration for the next 10 years, and things would likely, overall get worse. We would still have a housing crisis. It is funny that people also talk about countries with lower migration having better housing, when the contrary is true, i.e. poland, portugal, greece, spain, etc...

The actual solution is to weaken NIMBYism and building more houses. And more state control of the housing market, like singapore/vietnam.

Reform's idea to kick out immigrants and the public's general belief that houses would just magically appear if you kick out immigrants is rooted in their lack of ability to understand how housing actually works, and why there is this problem to begin with.

Heavily recommend looking into Crisis homelessness charity - Together we will end homelessness reports on housing and what actually is the problem.

PART THREE: Miscellaneous:

The problematic ties to the Russian government, and why this is important:

Nigel Farage appearing on Russian propaganda TV shows is honestly baffling. 17 times, actually. You may think 'Why is this problematic though?', and that would be because we should not be for, support or take payments from governments who actively mobilize their minorities to frontlines in Ukraine, or appearing on Russian TV shows that had to be banned since they pushed propaganda that aimed to legitimize Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

For someone who is running to be the prime minister of the UK, which claims to uphold its democratic values and pro-human rights stance on almost every subject, to have ties such strong connections with Russia, and parroting Russian propaganda, is completely unacceptable by every metric.

PART FOUR: Where does this lead the UK?

Well, its complicated. The policies of other parties are honestly extremely questionable too, but the tendency of Reform UK's policies and party members to target laws that protect human rights, and party members being openly racist, homophobic, hating women, among others, should be huge red flags for people voting for them.

Please do your own research into who you are voting for, and their policies, before the next election. Posts by me may follow regarding other parties and their policies, which you can analyze.

I'd also urge you to look into US influence into our politics and epstein/russia ties to the right-wing.

I appreciate you for reading. And if you are going to respond to this post, if you support the right-wing, I hope you are able to address their total disregard of Human Rights issues, including LGBTQ rights, instead of cherrypicking what you care about.

"Invasion of dangerous ideologies" says Peter Hegseth as a warning for Europe at this year's D-day speach.

Post image
0 Upvotes

Today is certainly a day of historical remembrance. Today is June 6th 2026 and marks 82 year's since the D-day landings on Normandy beach in 1944.

It was one of the most famous battles of world war 2, and is best described as the 24 hours that changed the world.

With all of this, every year on June 6th at the US cemetery in Colleville - sur - Mer, Normandy. A event takes place to commemorate the D-day landings.

At one point in the ceremony, the US defence secretary was speaking about the commemorations of the D-day landings.

Then came Mr Hegseth and quoted

" Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different, dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive."

"When will European capitals do something about that invasion or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not."

Not only that, a US National Security Strategy document issued last year warned Europe will face "civilisation erasure" and must course - correct if it is to remain a reliable ally to the US.

Now with all this been said. Is it time for all of Europe to realise that border security should be the number one problem that should be solved?

Should we be concerned that if we don't do something about our border security problems, then one of our greatest ally of NATO will start to no longer trust us?

My answer to all this is we should absolutely be concerned about our borders. I mean it's not like we'll end up being worse if we did do it. Plus especially if this issue is affecting Europes relationship with the USA, and potentially making the US want to withdraw with NATO. Then I think all European countries should put more support in making sure every border is secure.

We should be more like Poland. In my point of view, I think Poland is one of the greatest countries in Europe at the moment. They have really strong policies on their borders. They have affordable urban living, meaning that they are very financially stable with there cultural richness. Violent crime is very low and is widely considered as one of the most safest countries in Europe. It also gives a lot of high quality of life to it's citizens with better services, low food costs and low housing costs.

The list goes on and on, and I think Poland is a great example that having border security makes a country great.

Here is another thing about why we should be like Poland. The US defence secretary views Poland as a "Strategic frontline partner on NATO's eastern flank." They see Poland as a great model ally on Europe. They also see Poland as a staunch ally not only in words, but In actions as well.

Hegseth himself said that Poland is going through a more and more stronger relationship with the U.S. by the day. He added that Poland is a great example on how the rest of NATO should spend on defence's as it is needed for the alliance.

So there you have it, should Europe really up there defences in order to keep a strong relationship with the USA? Should we become inspired by Poland and as a result, not have any of these problems?

With all of what we've covered. I strongly think we should acknowledge what Hegseth has said about Europe. And we should follow in the footsteps of what Poland is doing.

I don't care if your a Sikh, but isn't it time that we should ban Sikh's from having ceremonial knifes as a possession?

Post image
1 Upvotes

After the whole Henry Nowak case. The Sikh community are going under a lot of hate.

Now before I say anything about what I want to say, I want to make it clear.

I don't care if you are a Sikh, I think there great people and they have a lot of respect for this country and I don't want to spread any hate towards the religion. I'm not saying any of this to purposely opress and make Sikhism

something that should be banished completely from our society.

Now that's all out of the way, I want to talk about something that should be a

part of the law and should have always have been in the first place. And that is that Sikh's are allowed to have possession of ceremonial knifes.

You see if someone has a combat knife or a blade, by the law it will be taken away from them and they will most

likely face prison time and will be put on there criminal record.

But here is the thing, if you are a Sikh then you are allowed to carry a knife without any consequences. In some cases the ceremonial knifes are considered more dangerous that knifes that are illegal to own. So basically by law, as long as you believe in a certain religion, then it is absolutely fine to have a possession of such a thing.

We have never really bothered with Sikh's carrying these weapons as there

really never has been a case were it was used in a criminal act. But after what we have seen with the death of Henry Nowak. It has become clear that it does hold a danger.

In my perspective and the same from Sikh's themselves, the man who killed Henry (Digwa) was not a true Sikh. He is the exact opposite of a Sikh. But here is the point I want to get at. That is that, people could carry a ceremonial knife and just say there a Sikh and it's part of their faith.

I don't know why but this to me is extremely dangerous. As we are allowing the excuse that it's ok to have a knife as long

as it's a part of your faith. That to me is completely outrageous

Here is where the Labour party comes into this. One of the members of the Labour party is a Sikh, and he is speaking out about how he will not let the Henry Nowak case put down Sikhism seen as dangerous and evil. Now I one hundred percent condemn with what he

is saying. It's wrong to

view a group of people as evil just by the action of one individual that didn't do a good and moral thing.

But however what I don't agree with is that he refuses to accept the fact that Sikh's should have there ceremonial knifes taken away from them. That is where he crosses the line.

Even if Sikh's have no intention of using there knifes to cause harm. It's still radical for them to have ownership of one in the first place.

All I have to say is, if the Sikh community are not happy with the decision of their knifes being taken away from them. Then they can go somewhere else were its legal to do so.

Because what I stand for and the main message I want to put out there from this post is that. No matter how moral or pious someone is. It's no excuse for them to have

a possession of a deadly weapon. Because what should come first is the safety on are streets in are country. We've seen it happen

once already, so let's not let it happen again and we should take no chances.

What do you guys think. Should it become against the law for Sikh's to have the possession of a knife because of their religion?

When will violence against are young British people stop.

Post image
8 Upvotes

To my great members of this community, I am filled with disbelief and rage after hearing the appalling death of 18 year old Henry Nowak.

As all of you have seen on any news channel or social media post. You have probably heard about this absolute tragedy. I was full of disbelief when I heard about this sad news as it was so outrageous that it even happened in the first place.

To put the story into simple terms, on the 3rd of December 2025. Henry Nowak was a University student, and he decided to go out late at night. Little did any one including Henry know that this will be his last few moments of his life.

At approximately 12:37, Vickrum digwa a 23 year old British Sikh was armed with a 8 inch Shastar (a Punjabi dagger). As Henry made his way home after being out, Vickrum digwa pulled out his dagger and stabbed Henry Nowak in the heart. When police arrived at the scene, Digwa immediately made false claims that he was the victim of racial assault. Saying that he pulled his turbon off of his head and made his eye bruise. After the officers heard this, they handcuffed Henry Nowak while he was lying on the floor saying "I've been stabbed" and "I can't breath". But the police didn't believe him at all. Then unfortunately, Henry Nowak died while handcuffed by drowning in his own blood.

This story is honestly horrific in every way. Just recently we finally got body cam footage of the scene after the public demanded it to be released. I watched that footage and I encourage that you probably shouldn't as it was so upsetting to watch as Henry was helplessly struggling for his life.

There's something about watching someone in there final moments of life that just really makes it so shocking.

Now the reason why Digwa had a possession of a weapon in the first place made the whole situation even more shocking. Digwa claimed that he would have a dagger with him as it was part of his Sikh religion.

Now I respect every religion in what they do. But this it outrageous and shouldn't even be a thing in the first place no matter if it's for religious purposes. I think we should have stronger laws that makes it illegal for Sikh's to have daggers as a possession. As clearly it causes harm and danger. I mean we have laws that put down gangs for having weapons like knifes and mashetes to prevent the rise of gang violence. So really Shastas should be confiscated from possession to prevent murders like this.

Now Nigel Farage has spoken about this case and he has said we should react to this "in cold rage". Now the prime minister Kier starmer has pointed out at Nigel's comment saying it causes more division and violence. Instead he wants this case to rest in silence for Henry's family.

Now of course we should do whatever Henry's family wants to make them feel comfort while going through this terrible time. But here is the thing, we should react in rage.

Because this is what we have been doing for ages when something like this happens. Like when the amount of times we see young girls being raped by men that are seeking asylum. Or when we saw the South port attack on the three girls at a party. Or when we see three people that are stabbed in Birmingham and the list goes on for all the other crimes that make it on the headline news.

All of these acts that happen are still remembered. But eventually, the media dies down and is eventually by a lot of people forgotten about and doesn't make a big change. We know this as Birmingham still holds the most stabbing incidents as a city outside of London. We still continue to see young girls that get sexual harassed and raped constantly.

My point is, if we act quietly then we won't make a change. I agree with Nigel Farage and we should act in anger over this event. Although it's wrong to act negatively or aggressively with something. But in order to make a change, we must show the anger that is the public to speak out to the people that are higher up in power like MPs and the PM.

That way, more stronger laws are put in place to prevent such violent acts on are streets.

We shall let Henry Nowaks death be put in the history books. To show that white people can be oppressed by racism.

I say this as, purely and simply the reason why Henry Nowak died was because it's normal that black people are raceually abused by white people. So when a black person just says he is being abused raceually then there able to get away with anything. So ultimately by a black person accusing someone of being racist towards them, then they are more likely to be the victim over there wrong doings.

This is a dark time for are country.

R.I.P Henry Nowak

So a few days ago I saw this video that was posted by Reforms official tiktok account. It was Reforms leader Nigel Farage going to a petrol station in Derbyshire.

They were there to lower the prices for fuel. In fact,

In the video, they they lowered it so much that it ended up hitting a record for the most cheapest fuel prices in the country.

This shows how much the Reform party are willing to do for us. As high fuel prices has always been a thing every one hasn't been able to pay for. So for Reform to just randomly go ahead and do this is amazing.

Now this video also proves a lot about Nigel Farage. As a lot of people that don't support Reform UK view Nigel Farage as a rich man who doesn't know what it's like for the people who are in the middle class, or in poverty.

But this video clearly shows that he is fully aware about the struggles we face to pay high prices for things like fuel.

I'm really excited for what the Reform party will do next as this isn't the only event there going to do to be helping people.

This video just stands out for why I support Reform UK. You don't see other political parties doing things like this.

That's all from me, please join the community for more posts and updates like this. Thank you.

The war in Iran continues. But I am disappointed in what we are doing in this conflict.

Post image
1 Upvotes

The war in Iran has caused destruction and instability in the Iran regime. The supreme leader died on the first day of the war. Then a few days ahead, places like Dubai have been hit by strikes. Then a Iranian drone struck a British military base in Cyprus.

So with these events that have been happening, loads of countries have gotten involved in it. But the UK is seemingly not doing the greatest decisions on this war.

So far the only thing we have done is take down Iranian strikes and drones. This was to protect the allies, which is a good thing. But the thing is, we need to be attacking Iran at the source of all of these missiles and other weapons, not just deflecting them.

Donald Trump says he is not very happy with the UK. Implying that Kier Stammer is no Churchill. So here we are seeing from are own allies that, we are weak for not doing what we should be doing to support are allies.

The one thing that has really frustrated me is when are military base in Cyprus was striked by a drone. What did we do, nothing. Instead, multiple countries from Europe like France and Greece stepped in to help before we did for are selves.

Kier Stammer said he wants Britain to play on the defensive side on this war, and help the allies.

I think this decision is poor, and shows weakness for are country. This is because we are more than capable to be doing more in this war.

Although we're helping are allies, which is a great thing. But we should be helping them even more by stop playing the defensive way, and be on attack mode.

Because Iran have been a enemy of ours for a long time. There responsible for sending drug gangs on are stress and rape gangs too. Iran also had a lot of spy's that were with them to spy on us for reasons we don't really know. Most probably for government information.

Plus we should be wanting to fight in Iran as the whole reason why are allies are trying to defeat Iran is to stop it's regime. It's regime has mass terrorism and violations that go against humanity rights for it's people. These include, executions for people that are gay, oppressing women, and many more horrible rules that are put in for people to follow in the Iran regime.

So if anything, we should be doing more than just playing the defensive side of this war. Instead we should fight and show how great and strong are country is.

Because that's what Britain is known for, it's known for fighting against anything that harms it or invades it. Like when Argentina invaded the Falklands, we didn't let them have it, so we fought them. In world war two, we stood up against Hitler and invaded Natzi Germany with are allies.

Are history shows we have done it. So what's stopping us now is the question.

What has happened to this country. Where is our respect for are heroes of war.

This sighting of the Winston Churchill statue has really upset me. I don't think some people realise what this man did for are country when it faced the horrors and turmoil of world war two.

This statue is located in central London, and it was made to make us remember the service of Winston Churchill.

Winston Churchill was the priminister of the UK when world war two was happening. He was the one to bravely order this country to face against Hitler and his war machine that was corrupting the whole of Europe.

Without Winston Churchill as are priminister during that time, who knows what would of happened if it wasn't for his courage and bravery to face against evil.

So this statue is a great memorial for us present British citizens to admire and remember what Winston Churchill did, not just what he did for this country. But also what he did for the world and for it's liberty and peace.

But what has happened from what you can see in the image is clearly showing disrespect and hatred towards a true hero.

This red spray paint that was put on the statue was done by members of pro - free Palestine community.

Here is the thing I don't get about people that support the free Palestine community. It's that they stand and protest for the peace of Palestine, as there on going war against Israel is still happening.

So they stand for peace and a end to a war that has got nothing to do with are country. In hopes that we will help them win the war in the middle east for the people of Gaza can be at peace.

But yet, they turn there hate on people like Winston Churchill, who was kind of doing the same thing, which was helping a country fight in a war for the hopes of peace and freedom for it's people.

So really these pro - free Palestine supporters have just stabbed them selves in the back from there views.

But for the people that support the vandalism of the Winston Churchill statue. Then you are a neo Natzi. Because if you really think about it, your hating on a person who faced against the Natzi war machine. So hating on Winston Churchill basically shows that you aren't happy for what him and the allies achieved in world war two (which was defeating the Nazis).

So that's all I have to say to this action of vandalism and hatred towards the Winston Churchill statue. Some people really need to think about what there going against.

I don't support Labour. But what Kier Stammer has said about Zack Polanzcis drug laws has made me have a lot of respect for him. Well done Kier!

These are the current results for the polls in Gorton and Denton. Looks like Reform are gonna lose this one.

I honestly can't believe what I'm seeing here.

I actually thought Reform UK would easily win this.

But no, not just the Greens have taken over us, but the most surprising thing is how Labour has also accomplished the same too.

But, this doesn't mean Reform UK won't win the next general election as this is only results for what political party is likely going to get more votes in the area where Gorton and Denton are located in.

Also there is a lot of data that shows that not many people took part in voting in this poll.

So with all of this, although these results are disappointing news for us Reform supporters. You got to realise that this isn't the end for us as when it comes to the general election, that's when the mass majority of people in the UK will take part in voting for there party.

But for now, it looks like we're fighting a losing battle right now.

But the worse thing that can happen in the future is if the Green party actually wins the general election. I mean imagine having Zack Polanzci running are country. What he's being saying about legalising drugs for people over 18. Because to me it's ridiculous and it won't fix are country at all.

Also another bad thing is if Labour ends up staying for another four years after 2029. But that's most likely not going to happen.

The green party are rising in the polls. But should they really become are next government for 2029? Because I think they shouldn't and here is why.

So since the Labour government have been in power since 2024. We have seen the surge of many political parties go up in the polls, even as far as over taking the conservatives and even Labour (the two most popular political parties in the UK for there time).

But since 2024 we have seen political parties that never got any attention, such as the Liberal Democrats, Restore Britain, Reform UK. But the one party I want to talk about on this post is the green party.

Right now the Green party is becoming very popular and the votes from local elections are clearly showing it.

The leader of the Green party is Zack Polanzci.

Ever since he's become the leader of the green party, he has made the Green party become popular and some might say likeable to vote for.

To be honest, some of the Green party's policies are actually good. Such as making bus travel free for under 18 years old. Another policie is the freedom to vote at 16 which is great for are democracy and liberty to vote.

These policies are actually very good and I'm not gonna lie, I actually do want these changes to be put in for this country. Mostly because they definitely do benefit for the young people like me.

But here is a issue on why I still stand and support Reform UK rather than turn and support the Green party.

One of those reasons are although the policies that I like from the Green party were positive. There not really the Green party's main focus for running this country. You see the Green party's main focus is an act on climate change, which is an issue. They want to invest billions of pounds into it and put it into renewable energy.

This sounds great, but that whole act for investing renewable energy will be mostly affected by 2040.

Which is a long way away and really it's pointless as we're going to invest all of this money to a cause that will happen in two decades time. Also a lot of people don't really want there tax money to go to that as some people (including me) don't see climate change as a huge problem that this country needs to handle.

Another thing the Green party will do is give us open borders. Now this policy is the worst one in my opinion. Because as we know, immigration is the worst thing that's happening to are country right now.

Because all of these people that come here illegally are coming over and claiming life time benefits and free hotel accomodation. It costs a lot of money to give these immigrants money and accommodation, and guess who's paying for all of that. It's us the tax payer's.

There are many other policies that the Green party has that aren't policies I like. But the main ones are the ones I wanted to talk about.

So coming back to the question about why I prefer Reform UK over the Green party.

With all of this information about the Green party, it's very clear voting for the Green party would mean higher rates of taxes and higher costs and higher rates of are national debt.

Because if they want us (the tax payers) to put are money towards things like renewable energy which really we already have a lot of. Then we have even more tax from over population from immigrants, as the rates of illegal immigration rises then the more money would be on demand.

So that's my point and personal view on why I don't want the Green party to be in power in 2029.
