He's had these batshit crazy ideas since way before Covid though, as did the Dr's and medical scientists have their qualifications and knowledge.

I don't think one eyed bigot would look at the original report mentioned in an article, read it and come to his own conclusions.

We do need political change, no doubt, but I am a bit scared about Reform gaining some form of political influences because they're policies would be catastrophic if implemented. This country is in a crap state as it is.

This is exactly the kind of thing the government need to wise up on. It's very difficult for anybody to defend this kind of thing and just alienates people.

As much as climate change is potentially catastrophic the UK can't really do much about it on our own and we need to be realistic as to how much influence we can have on the rest of the world.

Nevertheless a push towards net zero would be great for the UK, at a sensible cost. unfortunately it suffers from the usual click bait nonsense in the Telegrpah/Mail/GB News and Reform.

A differing view to those who are qualified to hold that view and absolute truck fulls of science. They're doctors and he's a lawyer.

Would you let him take your appendix out?

But I think there were at least some sensible people in the Tory party. Boris was hated by a good portion of them.

Reform seems to be a bunch of idiots. Every one of them.

I'm worried about Farage achieving something because everything about Reform is based on the same fake narrative that the furore about this report is.

I'd like a change in the Senedd too, but definitely not Reform. I'm more worried that there isn't a decent alternative to be found anywhere.

And then we end up with Reform MPs and people taking Farage seriously.

I'd love to ban the press from promoting division.

The original article is just more race baiting from the usual suspects.

This is the actual report. If you search the pdf for "dog" it appears once. There is no mention of dog free areas appealing to anyone of a different race or religion.

They appeal to me sometimes and I'm a dog owner.

This is one of the Telegraph articles. It's shocking really when you consider the actual report.

Surprise, surprise. This story originated in The Telegraph and is nothing more than misrepresented click bait.

There is no link between proposed dog free areas and racism in the report.

Personally I'm more disappointed that such a pointless report has been commissioned. What a waste of money. It'll never be acted upon.

Let's see shall we. I don't think he'll last more than 18 months in post because he's a nutjob.

Of course you can claim that big Pharma forced him out then.

It's the content that's the problem, it's completely misrepresented nonsense. It's just that it's always published by the Mail, athe Telegraph and the completely absurd GB News.

We've just had a budget to state where that money is coming from, I don't agree with many of the sources but it has to be found.

There is very little left to reform in the public sector, they've had 14 years of trying to find efficiencies, efficiencies mean cuts there is very little left to cut.

I'm not a leftie. I didn't vote Labour.

I'm a bang on centrist with realistic expectations. I'm not defending anyone.

Reform's manifesto said they were going to spend an extra £17 billion on the NHS. The NHS alone. They didn't say where it was going to come from but it doesn't take a genius to realise we don't have that money.

If, and that's a big Daily Mail/GBNews claim, Labour need to borrow £32 billion to sort out the situation the UK is currently in without that £17 billion for the NHS then where the hell were Reform getting the cash from?

But in nowhere near the quantities that we do in the west. China for example historically use very little dairy, it's recently gaining in popularity due to students studying in the UK taking their tastes back home.

My point is it's popular in countries that use intensive, almost industrial scale agriculture. It's a filthy industry which forces down the cost of food to artificially low levels to satisfy demand.

Specifically all of it.

Immigration:-

Freeze non-essential immigration (except some health care)! Goodbye economy, who'll work in social care? Etc.

Return immigratnts crossing the channel to France! Impossible once they've left.

NHS.

Spend an extra £17 billion. Where is that going to come from? Eradicate waiting lists within 2 years. How is that going to happen? All the while letting private health companies claim tax relief.

Ban Transgenerd ideology in schools - that's not hard becasue it doesn't actually exist.

It's popular, and I get that, because it's wonderful if you don't need or want to think about it. If you do it's totally unworkable on every level.

Not necessarily. No government in British history has inherited a self made mess of this magnitude.

The only way out of it is to raise cash. Asking people for cash isn't popular.

We want to consume too much food that uses too many resources to produce.

It's mental that we'd happily pay £5 for what is basically water, malt, hops and barley heated up a bit and chucked in a barrel but expect to pay less than £1 for milk and all the resources needed to produce that.

There's a very good reason why most of the world doesn't use much dairy produce.
