........By the way, I like "Mod" fashion(s) and I've embraced many of them over the years. Stylish yes, very much so, unique, not in the slightest, in fact even the Greasers/Rockers were actually more "unique" in their attire

Dunno - lots of the 'battle jackets' look pretty similar.

aye, good point. I suppose there's not actually anything "unique" about these types of groups, as they do always end up mirroring each other, style wise. Safety in numbers and all that I suppose.

Yeah - youth tribes and to identify like minded folk.

In the nicest possible way, you appear to be fucking clueless sir.

Suggest you read up on the subject before commenting further. My recommendations would be 'The Influential Factor' by Graham Lentz (ISBN 0-9542552-1-6) or "Mod, A Very British Phenomenon" by Terry Rawlings (ISBN 0-7119-6813-6). Get back to me after you have. "Identically"

The wannabe gypo chiming in. I'll refrain from laying in. He's getting enough elsewhere on here.

I agree we need PR, although even with that, Reform would still get next to fuck all seats. I think you'll be surprised at how few people will actually vote for them when push come to shove. Honestly, other than you, I don't know a single person who think they are even remotely credible.

So, after Sir Nigel's success in that god awful TV programme, does he take up the reins as leader of Reform UK after the Christmas break or keep his powder dry and wait for the right moment for Sunak's inevitable demise?

Either way, he isn't going away any time soon. Fair to say he's been the most influential UK politician since matchless Maggie. My bet would be that whatever he does he will be adding to his already impressive CV and has a significant part to play in the UK's future.

Saw a suggestion that the Tories could bring back Johnson as leader and Farage as deputy 

Farage is obviously very marmite as a character and given what seems to be typical Tory infighting with the party, is he the person to unite them? 

If he went to Reform he would have free reign of the party 

Johnson's credibility is surely shot amongst a good number of the party as well as the public 

Not to mention his Grimsby Town hat

Followed by a GE. It would be ridiculous to allow this lot another unelected PM.

They do whatever they want. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see another leader before the GE.

The only alternative is Boris. That is how bad they have got.

Thatcher must be spinning in her grave.

Another year of this lot would be a disaster for the country.

Farage is another self serving cunt just like Johnson is, set of twats.

They won't call a General Election until 2025. They'll writhe and squirm for another year and milk it for every last drop.

I've said before that I don't vote but if Farage returns he'd get my vote.

And only if its to the Conservative Party. I wouldn’t bother if it was to any small time party like Reform.

Unlikely to happen though.

[gonzo]

The more I think about Nigel Farage running for an election the more I think he could win. Trump style. 

Fuck me what have we become.

He can't even get enough votes to become an MP. If he's smart he'll hitch his horse to the conservative wagon after they've lost this upcoming election. Otherwise it'll just be another loss for him

Will they?

Sunak will spin stats about stopping the boats etc 

Daily Mail readers and the right wing will be all over it

The electorate have short minds 

Don't think it will be an annihilation

Just hearing that our Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero has left COP28 early to make it back for the Rwanda vote 🙄
