Of course the boats aren’t the only problem, but you have to admit they certainly don’t improve things either?

 

I will agree but for very different reasons.... Farages constant politicising and divisive politics jumps on the small boats as a photogenic issue, and the way things are going are going to give him a good chance at power... and for this reason this will not improve things. Farage has all the political competence of a mushroom. Apart from this single issue, he has no policies... Farage in power will lead to a sell off of the NHS, will lead to censorship of the press, will lead to a higher national debt... and from that an increased tax burden on us all for many years to come, pensions will no longer be state funded but follow the US and no state help for those with nothing. Divisive politics has been his life, and in power will continue that way, the UK will splinter further than it is now.

 

Yes the small boats are going to cause many problems and the greatest of these - for us all - is the threat of Farage in power. Take a step backward, away from emotions and ask, in all seriousness, has Farage any ability to lead a country... the answer is no.

More mind readers than I had realised on here. I know one or two have claimed that ability in the past but they had gone quiet for a while. 
I could put up a few Hamas videos of them beheading women and children on that day  if anyone is interested in “narratives”

better, QED was a bit off, but I was excited to see the reply I had predicted.

See I agree with Johnsod that Hamas are brutes, but he will not say anything negative about how Israeli treatment of the Palestinians for decades has been equally brutal, arguably far worse, as Israel has the US to bulk them up on steroids

You reap what you sow 👍👍

“ I was excited to see the reply I predicted 😂😂” I didn’t see any predictions ?? But hey there’s some exciting lives being lived it would seem. Excuse me if I don’t get overly worked up today.

About time the NHS was shaken up, so let’s hope something like this happens.  I deeply resent having to fund the NHS and the BBC (amongst others).  They don’t work and the reason there are no real choices (with health anyway) is the very fact that we are all forced to fund them.

As for higher national debt, press censorship and incompetence, how would you describe the current and previous government?!  The only reason that Farage is flying in the polls is the huge unrest with the current system brought about by our two main parties.

Music to my libertarian ears. Extremely pleasant surprise to hear it from Wales. I live in a statist swamp too.
