Mad  Michelle Ballantyne in charge of Farages new mob up here 

On the bright side that further dilutes the fash vote with some of them cuddling up to Pussycat George's latest money making scheme and the others  going with Farage's swivel eyed muppets.

The tweet revealing Ballantyne joining the Reform party reads like a football club announcing a new signing.
 
Pleased to see some common sense, real life experience coming in to the debate.

Having said that, I am repeatedly assured by UKIP types from down South that the only reason I am not a racist is because we dont have Muslamic grooming gangs up here yet, so hopefully its not that sort of real life experience.....

Guillotines have to make an appearance eventually.

Rashford's campaign results in huge private profit and very little for struggling families. The outsourcing company doing this are part of Compass group. 

that's incredibly frustrating to see.

was there not a thing a while ago about the tories trying to use Tesco exclusively for food vouchers (it was some sort of "food card" scheme that would only be valid at Tesco stores) and it turned out one of them had some sort of blatant interest in the performance of Tesco, either shareholding or they had close ties to a director or something? will try to give it a google, dont *think* it ever came to fruition at least but its horrible what they chance their arm to get away with at the expense of people that need help.

edit: couldnt find it but my googlin' did come up with that ex-tory councillor psycho that put metal shards into tesco baby food to blackmail them. Don't really want to look anymore, kinda want to go to bed without frothing at the mouth with rage if possible.

Saw some middle eastern family buying their shopping with those wee food stamps they give asylum seekers. Lot of pish, give them cash.

...but then how will they be sufficiently humiliated?

Every now and then you'll see somebody claiming that pretty much all benefits should be left to charities instead of government, but not to save them money, as they'd still contribute. Creepy b*****ds who'd love to be handing out the goods and demanding to be thanked personally. No, try again, and this time stand up straight and thank me like you mean it.

The cashless society is on the way. It's definitely going to be part of "Bounce Back Better" "The Great Reset" "Fourth Industrial Revolution" scam.

The way in which the free school meals has been outsourced is an absolute disgrace. I appreciate that the sourcing, packing and distribution of the hampers costs money but surely these types of contracts should be going to not for profits.

Compass, G4S, Serco etc are a fucking scourge on society.

I remember reading something about this before. The mothers and baby homes story coming from Ireland. 9,000 dead children, 15% of the kids that were in these places. 

I don't know how a country deals with something as bad as that. I thought the statement from Micheál Martin was pretty good. I'm now reading that the victims aren't happy, they say it's not good enough.  

The comments here are quite hard hitting.
