It’s why I cancelled my X account over a year ago. The impact is amazing, I find I am actually more open to listening to other view points when they aren’t shoved down my throat.

I hope I live long enough to see the pendulum swing away from all this far right populist nonsense. We’ve had 10 years of it, I just want it to stop.

That’s just silly. Of course we need an army. Britain has built up expertise, you don’t just throw it away.

No, France can’t fulfill deterrent role because what if they vote in Le Pen’s party (Putin supporters like Reform). I mean yes, we need to work with Europe, and other NATO countries but why should France pay for our deterrent?

It’s true. Brexit is a huge problem but I fear with possibility of France and Germany falling to the far right, the EU is in danger of losing its position as a bastion of liberal democracy. Britain should clearly have stayed in but what happens next?

I still find it pathetic that he’s even a thing in politics here let alone leading the polls. Utterly depressing.
