I gather Reform plc is largely composed by small business people. Just imagine Farage, Tice and co letting them anywhere near power! He doesn’t even let them have a party. The authentocrat politicians are perhaps the most marked by their contempt for the people.
If your solution to the problems of British society is (Blue) Labour, then you are talking about a bunch of Oxbridge PMC wonks managing the working class from above. This is the one solution posited by the X classes. Reform isn’t even a party - there’s not even the pretence.

‘Ah, but we’ll be managing them after a close reading of Aristotle! I’m high church you know - much more down to earth than these modern liberals.’

The British working class just aren’t very conservative. They don’t take to orthodox religious tendencies, and haven’t since their inception (a marked feature of the English working class in particular). The culture wars of the middle classes have largely passed them by.

@eichel_robert @MarkUrban01 Why is this the analogy you reach for, rather than the many wars that are more likely to spring to young people's minds: Iraq, Afghanistan...? The British armed forces are expeditionary in nature. It's not Dad's Army.

Paul is inheritor of a long (and variously motivated) US folk-politics tradition, alleging ‘The Fed’ as HQ of the shady forces controlling the US. Musk’s approach seems to involve getting the conspiracist to meet the alleged conspiracy. Like some exposure-based CBT therapy.
Elon Musk is considering to have Ron Paul head up an audit of The Federal Reserve

Foresee a world where popular music grinds to terminal paralysis. ‘Hard Rock’ was naturally the first to fall. But one day there will be only cross-genre, faux-innovative cover versions of ancient hits. Vandalised relics of extinct civic and youth culture.
Disturbed’s 'The Sound of Silence' cover has now ruled Billboard’s Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart for 104 weeks—an incredible two-year streak at No. 1.

@AscendedYield 'Don't care' doesn't cut it. Do you actively want that confrontation with the US? Otherwise talk of any kind of independent foreign policy is nonsense. (Who is 'we' btw?)
