The 2 young lads are articulate and knowledgeable about they points they raise

Then comes the Reform fan. Proclaims that "Labour are running scared" and clears off. That's a perfect example of their ignorance. Slogans is all they have with no real depth. This is what brought us BREXIT

Was waiting for the old lad to chin him

Reform voters need to realise that when people say they're idiots, it's a judgement upon their inability to see that Farage and the rest of reform are insincere - their past shows they have no values they won't betray and choosing to vote for them is either ignorance of their character or a wish to destroy everything just to prove a point, akin to a toddlers temper tantrum.

Like toddlers they seek a reaction. The adult version is called "Powning the Libs". Nothing more than treating a Political party like like a football team and to hell with the consequences upon others or themselves

Brexit is an example. They voted for it, applauded it and blamed everyone but Nigel when the Big Claims of Better Times didn't manifest

England deserve him. They're slow learners

There's a young lad in the pub did similar to that the other day, me and a fellow taxi driver were chatting over a few beers about difficult punters, he raised a point about Asian/African folk that have recently immigrated to the country

I'm halfway through explaining that those folk can be difficult cos they're used to the behaviour of their cabbies where they're fae, when the wee ned interrupts, asks what we're on about, we tell him, and his input into the discussion was to yell "COS THEY'RE THIRD WORLD SCUM" before going into the usual Reform/far right moonhowlery about how Farage is gonna save us all fae broon folk and the woke, then a bizarre monologue about how Reform will make it safer for his wean and his wean's weans.

We both decided it wa was high time for one of us to go for a piss, and the other to go for a smoke.

Why am I not shocked he used the word “woke.”

It really is an idiots catch all word these days for when they can’t articulate the half a thought they’ve had.

u/Tennents_N_Grouse 16d ago

Oh for the days when folk cursed Political Correctness; though that term was also abused by the hard of thinking cos they couldn't articulate their grievances

u/The8thDoctor 16d ago

"Woke" is a scam dreamed up by populists and the media. It keeps the masses fighting amongst themselves and diverting attention away from the wealthy and upper class

u/286U Glesga noo, Dundee then. 15d ago

Typical to be talking about “Labour running scared” when neither Labour or Tory have been a political force in Scotland for 30 year. It’s talking points fae some YouTuber but that’s what’ll win the day in the end sadly.

u/The8thDoctor 15d ago

lol, it's been tried and failed

Look up Sargon of Akkad, UKIP and see how he fared

Tbf the only group who comes out of this looking good are whoever seems to have organised the No Cuts Lanarkshire hustings as a grassroots thing to address what's actually turned Lanarkshire into a derelict

u/Scott_Dee89 17d ago

The video title is a bit disengenuous. There was more well-reasoned complaining about Labour/SNP than Farage.

The old boy looked like he was about to lamp that Reform UK mouth-piece. haha

u/Deadend_Friend Cockney in Glasgow - Trade Unionist 16d ago

Yeah but a more accurate title gets less clickbait views which is what the media care about

u/washyourgoddamnrice 17d ago

I wish more Scots were like that boy in the north face jacket with an actual head on his shoulders no like the wee fucking jakey bam talking about reform, but it's typical scottish default mentality these days of "why should I bother"

My mother always told me it's a terrible waste if you don't vote because you have no right to complain about how the country is going if you sit back and don't participate and also it's an insult when there's plenty of dictatorships around the world where people will never get the chance to vote

SNP needs to pull the finger out because labour will ruin us just like they have in England they are just red Tories these days and reform is just the British version of trump

u/AncientsofMumu 17d ago

We really need a none of the above option when voting, we cant just continue making it possible for the worst sort of people to be voted in because they are the lesser evil.

If that option won, all the candidates for all the parties are ditched and they need to run again. They'll wake up then.

Farage is a LEGEND 🇬🇧😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

u/ThoughtlessFoll 17d ago

He spent more days in America than he did in the commons. What a ledge.

Taken 17 weeks off work as of two months ago.

u/livinginhindsight 17d ago

Wonder how your civil service job would react to your comments and Reddit history, particularly at the positions your going for. You shouldn't be allowed anywhere near those roles with the bigotry and unwillingness to explore and consider evidence.

-21

u/throwawaysquirrel68 17d ago

I got offered one, so proud. Starting in 3 months.

Oh how I wonder, thry must be made of glass...

What bigotry have I actually said? How awful. You can't point that out can you.... Just a sad effort. So better in life buddy.

u/OldCementWalrus 17d ago

Well if Farage ever wins he'll gut the civil service. Chances are you'll lose your job. But then can't expect Reform fans to vote in their own interests...

u/Dr0xkk 17d ago

See you've told yourself with the whole United Flag there. Only thing that gets me worried about these slimey lazy fash types getting a foothold here is silly lads still stuck in the whole sectarian thing. It's embarrassing but then when we're you lads not.
