me 42 yrs. The one thing about Britain, it never became infected with communism that so afflicted Europe
... oh no wait.
And it's always been an independent and different place due to its island nature and a nation of shopkeepers and entrepreneurs. .. oh no wait..
The problem with Britain has always been its actually run by the City of London. They created the Empire, they are now behind net zero and ESG business scores and carbon taxes and their idea of 'feudal communism'. Communism for you, ownership of the assets for us. A collective, made up of financial institutions and apparatchik managers, eat what you get and be quiet for the rest.
There are many many problems, going back to Thatcher and her sell off, going back to WW1 and the country being bankrupted (at the behest of the City of London), but, of all the candidates Rupert Lowe will at least be the best serious and most exciting instrument for as much relatively radical change as can be seriously hoped for.
It's never going to be pre-WW1 levels of government interference in how you live, run your life, and spend your money. On the other hand, back then many couldn't even read and certainly didn't have mobile phones. If you needed a dentist good luck with that and the average age of death was ... 55? Possibly lower.
No party is going to have all the answers to all the problems, seeing the connected world we now live in (and the damage done to date) but he seems to be the best shot. He's aiming for a clean sweep, no coalition. I think we may have witnessed a historical event and in 5 years him in power.
I will be sending him an Irish pound to help.
But I do think the idea of sending families 'who knew' their dad/uncle/brother was raping girls, back to Pakistan, it's too extreme. They need to tone that down. .. and I guess they will. Bringing back the death penalty when there's zero doubt (and the crime merits it - Southport killer) is already a good enough start. Along with policies on previous and future channel migrants and dual citizenship rapists and murderers (send em back)
I think Reform are done. And if that's the case if not Restore who else is there? No one. (tories, libe dems, labour, green)
