I myself would tolerate rich people, spivs and managers continuing to make out, if we could also have some big moves to benefit the huge chunk of the population who are not managers, spivs or rich people.

Brexit was a con.
Sold on a pack of lies by fantasists, ladybird libertarians, chancers, xenophobes and spivs.
On this day of all days we should take a moment to remind everyone of that.

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

If Britain had a functioning fourth estate, Reform would not exist. To put it another way, the collapse of journalism directly enabled this firm of spivs and charlatans to lie their way to prominence.

An afterthought... Look at them. Would you buy a used car from these spivs?
Grifter trying to bribe grafters...!
"They... see that work simply doesn’t pay, that benefits often match or beat what they earn".
Time your big business chums paid fair wages then, surely Nigel?
Although I doubt they'll match £1.4m for a TV show in a jungle... 🤮

We have to ask ourselves how we made British (and American!) politics the go-to career for spivs, chancers, hedge fund speculators, money launderers, crypto criminals, anti-vaxx scammers, Nazis, sex trafficking manosphere influencers and of course the whole Johnson coterie of gropers and stalkers

Given the absolute belly load of cranks, spivs, bigots and wrong-uns emerging on Britain’s political wings, I do wonder if we’ve overestimated the longevity of the populist surge.
