In England it feels like we are one step away from sellotaping Greggs sausage rolls to lampposts and calling it an economic plan. I honestly wonder how many people would fall off ladders trying to reach them.
People are broke. Food banks are stretched. Bills keep climbing. Wages are not.
And yet Reform local councils have put council tax up said they will charge people on benefits and one reportedly spent ยฃ75,000 on flags while people are going to food banks. That will be the future of Britain after the Labour mess. Imagine. It could get worse!
Council tax rising does not pay for school dinners. It does not keep the heating on. It does not fill an empty fridge.
When money is tight for everyone else but priorities drift toward symbols and stunts something has gone badly wrong.
People are hungry. Bills are rising.
Someone looked at that and thought the answer was higher council tax, flags for the lampposts and a call to get on a train to London and piss on them for the cameras.
At least the lampposts are warm. Wrapped in flags. Fertilised nightly. Maybe they will grow tall enough to replace the trees that get cut down when environmental protections are scrapped.
People starve.
Lampposts thrive.
Endangered trees die.
Animal protections go.
Human rights follow.
Nigelโs promised authority AFTER Labours failuresโฆ imagine!
Flags ready for the tents we will all be living in next.
No wonder Reform have lost much support the past few weeks.

The only 3 people to benefit from Brexit were
Johnson - got prime minister
Farage - got a cult following
Putin - got a weaker UK and Europe.
The rest of us got a poorer, more divided country with less rights and freedoms.
Plus now we know reform were on the Russian take.
