Reform U.K will from here on in have a seismic impact upon British politics and traditional voter loyalty, because the party is extremely popular (and growing) amongst the working class.
The pathfinders have paved the way and are now in an extremely advantageous position so expect the brigade to arrive at a latter date! And the current Sit-Rep is humdinger stuff!
The spite, insults and smearing has continued, which is fantastic for Reform UK also, because it motivates people to turn up and vote for the party in even greater numbers. |

My prediction looks to be unfolding!

Reform U.K will surprise many with its vote share, and will perform way beyond all expectation from the day that it announced its intent. There is something rather significant and unique happening here. We are talking about many millions of votes here!
And onto Labour? Yep a landslide victory, but with a surreal share of the percentage vote that does not match that landslide victory, especially after defeating a government that’s been in power for 14 years!
It will NOT show a huge surge of overwhelming support that would usually be expected from a crushing victory.
In fact it should be no surprise if its vote is down by a good few thousand in many constituencies
It'll be emotionally-flat and minus "dawn of a new era" jubilation seen with Thatcher’s and Blair’s victories. We are about to witness (Reform U.K supporters aside) a unique "oh whatever" mood amongst many. |

I'm 100% serious when I say this i.e. Labour could close Morriston Hospital without replacement and still people would blame the Tories.
Wales truly has the most unsophisticated-tribal electorate in the entire Western world. |

Certain individuals 40 hour week(s) can never be compared; the difference is world’s apart.
Guy’s pushing heavy laden barrows during a ready mix concrete shuttering pour in unbearable heat and humidity for example cannot be compared to someone working in an air-conditioned office.
And working well into late 60's is some ask, because physical demands and wear and tear of certain jobs will make that impossible. RSI and arthritis etc. Add to that the fact that testosterone levels fall by 1% each and every year after the age of 30, which means that it takes far longer for the body to recuperate
.
So the gist is 40 hour weeks and late retirement is an entirely different matter for certain professions. And government ministers have failed to appreciate that and have shown staggering levels of naivety! |

I worked there as a steel erector months out of school on a Otto Simon Carves Ltd subcontract and despite not being employed by British Steel I have an affinity with the place, ditto seeing the the steelworks when returning from away trips meant "I'm home".
I do not know how many it employed at its peak but I guess its many, many thousands. Places like that were and are vital for the local economy. I find the whole situation surreal i.e. the U.K a country without real blastfurnaces, without manufacturing industry, no full strength military, family silver sold off, once efficent services (e.g. tax offices) understaffed and overwhelmed, or not there in many instances e.g. NHS dentistry.
The U.K has been on the decline for decades. |

I was intriqued when Captain Sensible of The Damned said that the main revenue stream for his band came from merchandising. What the group earned via concert revenue from ticket sales was small potatoes compared to selling t'-shirts.
Captain Sensible commentated that The Stranglers were even selling decanters. I reckon stadium bands must make an absolute small fortune. |

I ponder if denied entry on French border is there another way to get into the U.K? Hopefully not! Too many nautical miles?

I'm hoping for a Marine Le Pen government in France, because if she has serious intent to stop undocumented illegal entry to her country, then it means they will not be travelling through France in great numbers to come over here. |

Crazy to think that its 127,000 arrivals so far and that’s just those that are accounted for excluding the ‘disappeared’ and at this rate in ten years time it'll be a case of approx half a million that have entered the U.K that nobody knows the true identity of.
I guess that there are many out there hoping for the emergence of more sensible right-wing border control and rulers with intention to filter out and erode the numbers down to a trickle levels. Perish the thought and possibility of it ending up as 100,000+ a year! |

Populism is now unstoppable, the dam has burst; Millions within the EU are now sticking their two fingers up to the politcal establishment and the EU!..... That?..... Could end up with the destruction of the EU, or end up with a right wing EU, because its arrogant lefty-loon/liberal leaders have failed to apply common sense and to listen!
There is also hope on the small boats issue, because allowing small boats to leave France and for smuggling gangs to operate means that it encourages illegal immigrants to enter France in the first place.
And I guess this is the very lady that realises that, whilst also knowing that France has a military very capable of boosting border control effectiveness by coming to the aid of over-stretched French police.
Because it has rather looked that there has never been any real intention to stop illegal entrants from entering France and to stop the smugglers and boats anyhow.
