STATEMENT

I have been on this forum since 2014 and it is without doubt the outstanding place for political discourse, robust arguments, and hopefully influence to the powers that be
Throughout this time I have tried to contribute honestly and wherever possible provide links
I use a wide range of sources including Sky which is on most of the time, but also the BBC and articles from the telegraph, guardian, independent and some times guido and other media
I have consistently expressed my opposition to Farage and Reform, Trump and the far right, and my worries about the state of our politics.

I openly support the conservative party, but am a one nation conservative who actually voted remain though am pleased we have exited the EU
However, overnight and whilst I was not on this forum @Gardenwalker made an ignorant and unsubstantiated accusation against me that has made me question why I contribute when my words can be taken so much out of context. He said:
'Why is @Big_G_NorthWales ranting about Antifa now? He needs to get off Guido or whatever alt-right nut-shop he’s frequenting'

If @Gardenwalker had even bothered to find my post he would have seen the context and I believe he owes me an apology
It also seems that he (and others) have this obssession over my comments (and very many others) at the time of the beer and curry incident which were seeking the truth about Starmer's involvement and for which he was cleared and I accepted the due process was followed
I am thick skinned but @Gardenwalker crossed a line, and I have even considered whether I wish to continue but I am not going to let him win on this and hope he will have the decency to apologise for his unjust comments

Big_G_NorthWales, so sorry you felt you had to even make this statement on the site, you are one of my favourite posters from the centre right and no surprise because we are both one nation conservatives who have never been afraid to criticise our own party past and present. You really didn't deserve that unfair and bad tempered response, and the cross party PB community should be rushing to agree because you genuinely provide a really positive contribution to this site.

I first starting posting on this site in early years around 2004/5, in fact I believe I was not only the first openly Scottish female Conservative poster, but possible the first openly female poster after the amount of Chris's got too much for the site and I added my full name only to discover most posters assumed I was a gay man rather than a middle aged happily married woman and mother of three!

Every sane patriotic Brit - and that is surely most of us - has to vote Reform, now. It’s the only choice. It’s that or the abyss

It strikes me that a Reform govt could bring about some kind of civil war… his opponents hate Farage so much, and those to the right of him are clucking for aggro… he must have a good chance of being assassinated if he becomes PM. But the alternative is the continued slow destruction of what we thought of as England, and eventual Islamic takeover.

Right now millions of us are peacefully putting up with Starmer's government even though we don't like it, so if Farage wins an election fair and square it's only right that the left does the same even if they don't agree with his policies.

Farage is much more divisive than Starmer though, and look how Remainers refused to accept they lost the referendum.

Whereas Starmer winning a huge majority has been accepted with equanimity and grace.

I don’t see anyone demanding another election or refusing to accept he has a mandate

Have you ever been Online?

Farage is a traitor. I'll take the abyss

Farage is the abyss.

lol

You live in Trumpland. Is your life falling apart? Get a grip you pitiful bleating no-mark

Better a no-mark than a skid-mark, perhaps.
You ranting old roué.

No one cares what you think, what you do, what you say. You’re some pitiful wandering mediocre middle manager in marketing who doesn’t even live in the UK

Why don’t you grow up and join an American politics site? That’s where you live. Because your views on here on the UK are increasingly irrelevant, clueless and awkwardly uninformed. So much so they become embarrassing

Perhaps. Though at least I don’t spam the site with fascist drivel and tasteless interior design content, like some kind of Laurence Llewellyn Bormann.

The comments came from Sky last night in a live interview with the Chief Executive of Campaign against antisemitism and he commented as I posted


Ban these protests which are even taking place now

Also BBC cannot call Hamas terrorist

And Antifa in the UK is promoted

21% has entrenched antisemitic views, raising to 40% of young people

Blood of British Jews cries out from the ground
