      You would much rather them vote for the transphobic, genocidal freaks cutting the NHS and aid for the elderly, selling off publicly-owned assets because of their publicly-stated mission of being corporate friendly right?

      Can you explain why? Do you like poor and marginalized people dying? You seem a little violent and twisted just off this one comment.

      Maybe tou should read the article and understand why people are drawn to Reform. Starmer is just trying to be Farage light, so it’s no wonder nobody likes him.

        Closer to Alexander than Farage.

        An authoritarian bootlicking shitbag as opposed to a racist, opportunist prick.

        Though I suppose there’s some overlap.

            Yes, but I don’t think it’s because he’s angling for a social group that’s into doing a bunch of hate crimes.

            It’s much more likely he’s doing it for political reasons.

            I could be very wrong however.

                intent and context.

                One is an actual bigot, one is an effective bigot but only by convenience.

                All he is doing is ahowing that racism is ok now.

                He’s showing that tolerance of bigotry is currently ok as long as it’s a means to a political end.

                Which is different in intent and context, but as you say, not necessarily different in outcome, for some.

                The difference between “benefits him politically”(starmer & johnson) vs “is a bigoted arsehole”(farage).
