So, the great British public has decided that Britain should be run by a gang of dishonest, racist, faux-Nazis. People of good conscience will all be disgusted with the rise of Reform, especially after their toll of odious members being identified as dishonest grifters or racists. A significant number of their rising stars are Tory rejects, many of whom were in part responsible for the disastrous 14 years of Tory rule that ended only two years ago. We may now look forward to an Enoch Powell Britain, a country without decency, compassion, or the common sense to see how we are being gulled by a rabble of self-interested conmen and their backers. They will suck the blood of the common man and reverse all the many gains we have made over many decades in human rights, protection for the disabled, the elderly, the homeless, and the other marginalised people who need society's support, not to mention the additional havoc they will let loose on the NHS. We can only hope that the electorate will have come to its senses before the General Election. In the meantime, if you think you've tightened your belts up until now at a local level, you've not seen anything yet.
