He just likes to pick a fight, it's the only thing he's good at. Meanwhile NatWest makes mad profit and everyone with a mortgage is in the do-do. So instead of addressing the underlying and hugely important issue, froggy face gets everyone distracted on a total side-line that largely is about him. Somehow he managed to do that with Brexit too, convincing fishermen they would get back the quotas they lost (mainly by selling them off) and farmers that the UK version of support would be preferable to the EU version. Neither of those groups sees things quite the same now. And that leaves immigration, where do we start on that one...

Others were never likely due to the politics, especially those surrounding the fractious and factionalised Conservative party. And others because they were always going to do massive damage to the economy and, needless to say, the economy fought back. By the way, would you like to buy a bridge?

As you have a right to have your views even tho they are controversial and not what the wider population think. Anyways I have really enjoyed your meltdown over Farage so please continue. I have no doubt what the result of a vote on me here would be. Which rather proves my point. My views are very middle of the road, neither left or right. I dislike both extremes. So I disagree. The wider population would be much more in agreement than the majority group here. This place is no more representative of the wider viewpoint than Reform is. Just because Brexit managed to con enough people to pass doesn’t mean those who were mugged by it all think like hard-line Farage puppets.

Something Farage will go down in history as being partially responsible for. How many would vote the same way today? 20%? 30%? 40%? I bet no one would seriously anticipate any higher than 40%! Everyone, me included, wants illegal immigration curtailed. It’s not for commercial businesses to supply essential services to everyone unless so ordered by the government, who have to underwrite the risks involved. That particularity applies to social media companies, especially where there is a lot of competition and no one gets frozen out of speaking their mind. It’s up to each platform to determine its own standards and target its own audience, to achieve the maximum advertising revenue it can. They aren’t public utilities. They are profit making businesses. There are lots of bank accounts available but should it happen that any group of people are unable to secure even a basic service then government intervention could become necessary and make such provision mandatory, probably at a cost.
