I think there's a large element of "What's sauce for the goose..."
The majority see certain groups being appeased because they threaten to kick off when they don't get their way. And after a while everyone else thinks: "Well, if it works for them why not us?"
Two tier Kier and the previous government both seemed keen to appease minorities while demanding a higher standard of behaviour from everyone else.
And it seems that's no longer going to wash.
Yes indeed, I couldn't agree more. And thanks to Starmer and his government I think the situation is bound to get worse. Digressing slightly, Labour may have just won a general election but with just 34% of the vote, that means the vast majority of people in this country did not vote Labour. Starmer is not Blair he wasn't carried into number 10 on a wave of popularity and 'cool Britannia'. Starmer is the leader of a largely unpopular government and he would do well to remember this. Far fewer people voted for Reform. |

So who are these so called far-right racists, me, you, our families, our friends, our neighbour's ..... I bet no one on here knows anyone in a far-right EDL group, I wouldn't even know how to go about finding out who and where they actually are? It's Labour and lefties response, it can't be the fact it's ordinary non-far-right groups, who are protesting, it has to be this myth far-right group, the media is guilty of the overuse of the words far-right ...... drill it home, keep saying it. If Starmer and the lefties keep stigmatizing the concerns of ordinary people of the UK as being far-right ... on their own heads be it. You can't even walk around with a Swastika tattoo on display, do a nazi salute or attack a mosque these days without the left labelling you far right. I wouldn't know, it doesn't happen where I live, is that what happens where you live? |

Far fewer people voted for Reform. LOL, Reform UK are just three years old yet nearly 4½ million people voted Reform and they have five MP's. No party in UK political history has ever achieved such immediate success, and the way this government are going, Farage and Reform UK will go from strength to strength. |

Indeed.
As I said yesterday, Labour didn't win majority backing: More voters voted for "right wing" parties than voted Labour. And Labour polled fewer votes than they have for decades.
Labour are only in power due to the vagaries of a failing electoral system and they need to bear that in mind and read the mood music in the country.
Or they're going to be facing a lot more serious civil unrest.

Yeah and Watford are gonna win the premier league. I seem to remember people laughing at UKIP, and as Farage famously said, they aint laughing now. And don't forget, more people voted for Reform UK than voted for UKIP at their most popular. Yet UKIP still forced that referendum. So please, laugh away. |

That really does depend who is in it.
If the occupants are the sort of police who stand idly by while Black Lives Matter protestors riot and vandalise, then i think there is no great loss here.

An attack on the Kings police is the same as an attack on the King himself , life in prison should be the starting tariff . |
