What's that about billionaires creating jobs?
I want to say something many will hate but it needs to be said. I have met Nigel Farage. I do not know him well but I know the world he moves in. We move in similar circles sometimes. The kind of private rooms and members clubs that most people in Britain will never see. I know how the rich speak about ordinary people. They laugh. They joke about how easy it is to wind you up. They know exactly which buttons to press. They know you are angry and tired and struggling and they know you want someone to blame. That is why they point at boats while they pick your pockets.
I did not grow up rich. I did not grow up in privilege. I understand struggle and the real world. But my life changed and now I see both sides. I sit with billionaires and politicians and decision makers and I hear conversations you never will. I know the truth. They do not care about you. They do not care about your future. They care about profit and control. They see ordinary people as tools or distractions. I am telling you this because I am tired of watching good people being manipulated.
Look at your life before Brexit and look at it now. Look at your shopping bills. Look at what food costs in Europe right now. Look at how much tax you pay on imports. Look at your wages and energy prices and mortgages. Look at the 10,000 NHS staff we lost when freedom of movement ended. Look at the ambulances that do not arrive. Look at nurses and teachers using food banks. Tell me honestly. Are you better off?
Nigel helped build the crisis you are living in. Then he pointed at immigrants and told you to blame them. That is the con. He pulled the UK out of the Dublin III agreement which means we cannot return asylum seekers to Europe anymore. He created the boat chaos then told you to panic about it. Someone who worked in immigration for more than ten years told me they saw it coming. It was planned. It is a strategy. And you are falling for it.
Now he wants austerity again. He wants to cut wages for young people. He wants to rip up workers rights. He wants private health insurance and a French style NHS where the rich get treated first and the poor get nothing. He wants you fighting each other so you never see who is robbing you. If you vote for him you are voting to destroy your own life. Not mine. Yours.
None of this affects me personally. I drink champagne with the people who control the money. I will be fine no matter what. Reform will not hurt me. Reform will hurt you. It will hurt your children. Your parents. Your future. I am telling you because I care. If I did not care I would stay silent and watch you suffer.
You think I am your enemy because I make you uncomfortable. I am not. Your enemy is the one who lies to you and blames the vulnerable while he empties your pockets.
Reform will not save you. Reform will finish you.
Think. Before they take everything.

@ArrivaKent I have been waiting nearly an hour at Dockside to get home. What is happening? I regularly have to get an Uber due to your terrible services. Your app kept saying just a few minutes but buses just disappear
@BurgerKingUK If you order at 9am might have a chance at getting it before midnight. Just had to cancel mine as after waiting for an hour and 20 minutes still no driver.
Abolishing the ยฃ2 bus fare cap is a political choice disproportionately hitting the poor.
With rising costs & stagnant wages, itโs a step backwards - especially when more accessible transport is needed.
The government must reverse this & introduce wealth taxes to fund services.
The 50% hike to bus fares just announced by Sir Keir Starmer is the equivalent of a 4% hike in Income Tax for a minimum wage worker.
Make no mistake, it adds ยฃ480 to the commuter bill for a worker per year.
A vicious attack on those with least.
@ArrivaKent if you aren't going to run your buses from Chatham bus station could you please at least say so on your screens. Lots of not service buses, lots of people waiting and no info
Can't believe I fell for this #Asdascam. Called me back promising compensation but had to download an app and confirm my details. Please don't fall for this like I almost did.
@asda looks like a crate of stuff got missed from my online delivery tonight. Bad enough but not being able to get through to anyone while the driver is close by and may be able to drop it off is worse.
@Asdacs_ I got through apparently all that can be done right now is for me to wait up to 48 hours for the payments team to contact me. I reckon it's about ยฃ20 plus worth of groceries missing. Luckily I can wait days to have that refunded. Plenty of people can't.
@ArrivaKent what is going on with the bus from Chatham bus station towards the Unis and Dockside? Been waiting more than 30 minutes. 116 skipped no sign of the 2
What we need is wage rises not tax cuts, tax cuts benefit the richest the most, and the poorest the least.
While wage rises benefit the poorest most, and actually cost the richest.
@HarrietSergeant Yes it is and it is exactly what the public voted for in 2011 in the AV referendum.
Seem to recall that Farage likes referendums and standing by the results
