Polling doesn’t matter, votes don’t matter, Labour aren’t bothered because the Communist establishment will just carry on, whoever is elected. If voting changed anything, they wouldn’t let us do it. How many times have we voted for mass immigration to stop since Thatcher’s time?

I can understand why people are disillusioned. But voting is always worth it. And a Reform Government will be genuinely different.

Of course I'd always vote but the Reform groups I've encountered in my area are heartbreakingly useless, couldn't run a bath.

why don't YOU, hiding behind Mrs Bucket, make a a video demonstrating what makes a good video? Let us see what YOU can do with a video! Or perhaps you have written something. Lets have an url to that. Have you nothing at all to say about the urgent content of my video, and the subject of free speech? Let me have a couple of ideas you would like to carry out to support or inform your local community. Tell us what YOU have created, instead of crisiticising the honest attempts of others to have a go. Let me have a positive comment and stop with the insults. We are on the same side, OK?

Here is the URL for my new video complaining about the chain of websites accross the UKL owned by Mark Zucjerberg. I and many other Britons have had a lifetime ban for speaking about Islam. Yet Trump, musk and all the other big mouths in the US have been complaining that "British people are Giving UP Free Speech" when in reality our speech is being attacked bya major American corporation which Trump, Musk, Rogan and all the others are not even aware of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMHjuDvm49I

I think you'll find the problem is new UK/EU rules making 'hate speech' on a platform the responsibility of the platform with HUGE fines if someone who uses hurty words. Trump and Musk aren't the problem, have you seen some of their recent output on their own platforms???? They are using VERY plain language to make Guardian readers self combust.

I'm talking about a website run by an American company in Britain, OUR country, which Trump has failed to even notice. He needs to either close them down in the UK or to allow criticism which is moderated only for illegal statements; current UK law allows criticism of religion just as it allows criticism of a particular phiosophy or idea. The government is struggling to dismantle that right and its not yet illegal. Trump and Rogan and all the others are continuing to criticise the British for removing free speech whilst AT THE SAME TIME an American company is allowed to shut down anything they disagree with. You need to inform yourself about free speech and what is allowed. Have you been on your local Next Door and seen their rules?

Currently only defunding the unions and a national strike will have any effect , reform need to look at legal action against cancelling elections , this year and next year councils are not reshuffle and ready (allegedly) the year after there will be other excuses act now

It's disgusting. Cancelling elections in England two years in a row is truly bonkers stuff.

They know they won't get in again John, and they've got to stick to their Re-set timetable, so until they achieve their dream, you're right, there'll always be other excuses....fortunately a lot more people are opening their eyes at last. 🙋

You're right Michael, but they'll have a damned good try, because they're cowards. 🙋 Have a good weekend all of you and thanks for your emails Michael. ❤

well done, John, a very sensible decision in my opinion. If you're interested in FREE SPEECH, you may agree with my new video here:

Jack, posting a video on YouTube is NOT 'doing something' - it's got no views and 'comments are turned off' so you are censoring opinions just as you complain NextDoor does. If your actions get sod all views, it's a waste of time. 'Doing something' means producing a carefully/cleverly worded leaflet and dishing it out in good numbers, at the very minimum.

My concern is that having been so successful in cancelling local and county council elections, they might try postponing the GENERAL ELECTION. Whats to stop them, a few pathetic comments from people like me and you on social media? see my new video:

You've just explained why your 'new video' is so pointless. I'd be embarrased to shout about it. If you can't get 10,000 views in a day you're p*ssing in the wind...

No need to swear at me, sweetie. I'm not embarrassed or too shy to try and build something to fight back with. What are YOU doing? Please, be honest, WHAT are you doing apart from commenting on social media? I'm not interested in watching a repeat of Zia talking about immigrants. Its YOU I want to see fighting back, not Zia. I would be very supportive of you for any efforts you are making to do something positive yourself, instead of relying on others. I will continue to tell everyone about my videos as they are posted. You can be certain I will include you.
