Appreciate the local's sentiment defending it for lack of integration.
Yes integrate with unfriendly locals and join in the local looting and racist behaviour. This need for constant integration feels rather one way.
Guess it's that time of year I guess, summer of riot.

The leisure centre attack was in Larne but I don't want to steal @StevieM thunder.

It always kicks off when the footy finishes. Not enough circuses to go with the cake.

They haven't called them bombs here for donkeys' years. It's a 'viable device' across the board no matter who plants/throws them.

Might break up the left vote, might be easier to form a coalition.
Maybe create a challenge to reform for hate labour and conservative voters.

She’s my favourite MP. She’s on the money with everything.

Its just handing the keys to the abhorrent Reform party.

It was always going to be a long shot, but the BNP.. I mean Reform.. are going to fuck us up for at least 5 years.

Wheres my suitcase?

 

[MomoWASright]

Labour are doing a good enough job on that. I won’t be voting for my Labour MP looking how he’s voted this past week. His record doesn’t align with my values.

My labour MP is AWOL. And yep, voting record is a arse licker too.

I think it is a thing, but she just went ahead and launched it.

I'd take a guess that anything involving Corbyn would take endless discussion over constitutions, structures and rules. They've probably been stuck in the tedious detail for about a year already, so I can see why she would have got bored of that, but it probably would have been a good idea to at least decide on the name of the party before announcing it.

I suspect something will go ahead but knowing what the left is like, it could just as easily end up with two new parties in a kind of Life of Brian/People's Front of Judea type scenario.

Either way could be quite amusing though I suppose.

 

[Atlas]

Yup, best of luck.
Maybe some kind of alternative will be good
But equally like Nomad says it may hand keys to Farage.

Maybe, maybe not.

They would need a serious amount of financial backing before they made any big inroads like that. Obviously any kind of principles go out the window in politics when they become inconvenient, but they would at least be a little uneasy with taking money from wealthy donors, so they would need to find either big union money or mass membership money. The former is historically problematic. The latter takes time.

Also worth remembering that the people who vote Reform are not all former Tories by any stretch. A lot of them are former Labour voters who might feel more comfortable voting for a new lefty party.

The other thing that might, might just start being an issue when the next election comes around is non-delivery and incompetence from Reform. They will have controlled Councils for a while by then, 'DOGE' won't have achieved anything, they will have closed things, taxed things, messed things up and probably had various levels of fall-outs.
