Show me where I said I was offended.
I commented on his “apology”. It’s up to him whether he decides to apologise or stick to his guns from his tax haven home in Monaco.

I didn't say you were offended, I have no idea if that type of comment would be offensive to you. My point was he did need to apologise and people don't have the right to be offended.

This is a tiny glimmer of hope that I hang on to; that there’s sufficient time between now and the next GE, in which we see more clear evidence that Farage and co cannot run a council, let alone a country.

I believe given time Farage and Co will self implode and the more councils (maybe country in Wales) that they take control of in May will ramp up that pressure.

However what if they run these councils (or even Wales) well, would you accept this and given them a shot at government??

I also believe they will implode.

I would need long term evidence of an upturn in public and local services before voting for them at GE level. There were elements of their 2024 manifesto that I supported, I just didn’t trust their ability to deliver them. A change in party leader would also be a pre requisite.

" an upturn in public and local services " like what we've seen under Labour and the Tories you mean. ?

I will put it another way for you. I won’t be voting Reform on the basis that public services are just as good/as bad as they have been under Labour or Tory rule. So back to my first sentence, there would need to be the evidence of a sustained upturn in performance.

How about “I won’t vote for Reform because I fundamentally disagree with everything the stand for and I despise the divisive and destructive rhetoric they use”. Whether they make the buses run on time or get the bins picked up more often will make absolutely no difference to that.

Same could apply to Labour, Conservatives, Lib Dem, Greens, Independent Gaza MP's.....

Did you disagree with their entire manifesto?

I’m sure it could depending on your view of things.

I disagree with them fundamentally and entirely. I don’t need to qualify it. It’s a point of principle.

Reform led Worcestershire County Council is practically brankrupt and putting up council tax by 9%

I have a slightly left field take - what the hell is Lisa Nandy doing about things? She has time to beat about journalists rightly calling her out, but not the time to fire Robbie Gibb and the rest of the BBC plants out of a cannon...

I also add Ofcom to this.

Another member of the elite preaching about immigrants when they don’t live in the country they pretend to love. Yaxley, Middleton, Tice, the list goes on and on. They’ve got the thickos eating from the palms of their hands.

They have, but it's given to them on a plate by a government with a stonking majority that's scared of its own shadow. Hopefully now that bulb McSweeney is gone, they'll stop going to the media like sodding Oliver Twist begging for crumbs and actually get on with a policy agenda. I won't hold my breath though
