Reform Among the Pigeons

The Reform Cat has truly upset the two-party pigeons. Perhaps the bigger (or ‘older’ might be a better adjective) parties will now start taking note of what ordinary people want, which does not generally include the ministrations of Diversity Managers, ubiquitous Pride flags and Climate Change Champions. Furthermore, Joe Meatball and Sally Housecoat grow weary of their taxes being used to pay gigantic hotel bills for illegal migrants while people who were born here or entered legally are sleeping rough. This proverbial kick up the political backside is long overdue.

Nevertheless, Reform UK is an unknown quantity, staffed and led by people of limited political experience and buoyant personalities. Their habit of infighting and clumsy word choices may well come back to bite them. So if you are troubled by the rise of Reform, their advantage might still be frittered away ahead of the next General Election; if their victories delight you, do not set your hopes too high. There is not a single politician who has managed to live up to his own expectations, much less ours.

Only one Ruler keeps His promises, and He has no seat at Lancashire's County Hall, nor Westminster's Palace
