This island has so much scum here now, and they continue to build houses that are not for island people…
Vote Reform UK, or suffer the consequences….
So the 15,000 people in need of a home already on the island are classed as scum now, and the Reform Party refuse to acknowledge there’s a housing crisis and won’t be building houses eh? That’s interesting to know, thanks. Certainly won’t be voting for them then.
Yes Vote Reform that will keep the Tories Thank you 🙂
Fifteen thousand wanting housing is that from the labour manifesto!
No it’s from the boats that this useless government refuse to stop.
For “or” read “and”.
So it was a Reform voter that broke in then. And they want my vote. I’m not as green as I’m cabbage looking.
Reform are far more imaginative than I took them for. They do seem to be a better choice than Labour, who, to my thinking now, are going to allow too many of these illegals an amnesty.
This will encourage even more here, so more crime, diseases we thought eradicated, and breed us into the poverty, over crowding and social disharmony which they have ruined their homelands with, but to then inflict it upon us all.
Reform is our only hope.
A vote for Tory, Labour or Lib Dem is the same vote
they are all controlled by the World Economic Forum
Mr Schwab
So unacceptable when everyone else has decency on their community, let him stay in jail and boot him off the island
