| 2. Author: ipswichpar Date: Fri 19th Sep 2025. 09:49 It sounds to me that they have come in with a view that bottom up based budgeting would save loads. They are probably correct. But shoving a bunch of people in who have got little experience in doing something like this was only ever going to end in disaster. And even if they could make it work, it is never going to be anywhere near quick enough to meet their expectations. Reply |

| 6. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 17th Dec 2025. 16:43 They might do well but hopefully not. Regardless of what you think of the other parties, Reform have to be the worst of the well known ones. Led by a man who is just a walking sound-bite generator. Reply |

| 8. Author: red-star-par Date: Wed 17th Dec 2025. 21:05 Farage is an extremely dangerous man, he`s bankrolled by billionaires and it`s them who he is looking out for. He`ll spout lies in his little sound bites, safe in the knowledge he will rarely be called out on it, and when he is, the damage is done. The main issue is that people these days are stupid, they will swallow anything. He`s already sold them a haddie with Brexit, they are all worse off for it and they will buy whatever he tells them next. There needs to be an intelligence test before people are allowed to vote Reply |
| 9. Author: jake89 Date: Wed 17th Dec 2025. 21:37 Unfortunately, the media and their puppet masters have done a pretty good job of blaming the brown people for all that`s wrong in this country. Farage said it himself that he didn`t care that his budget wouldn`t be balanced as he`d just chuck it on the debt pile. The man is a complete buffoon. I understand the anger and frustration around immigration. Just like we saw with Brexit, people will vote for whoever will promise change. Did we get change with Brexit? No, we got even worse. Vote Reform and say goodbye to the NHS and public services, say hello to benefits being cut, enormous health insurance policies and employment rights being torn up. We need a government with some back bone. If someone is ripping the piss they should be dealt with regardless of their skin colour, faith or bank balance. Why is Sharon getting 3 months in jail for not having a TV licence while Tony with the £500m tax bill is left to walk free? If you don`t want to pay tax in this country - piss off then. But don`t come back with your begging bowl when you need help from the British taxpayer. Reply |

| 12. Author: Wotsit Date: Mon 22nd Dec 2025. 14:29 Personally, I might have considered a semi-colon there if I were writing formally, but in an informal context, such as this one, I would consider it a bit too frilly when the comma would convey the meaning perfectly clearly.

| 13. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 22nd Dec 2025. 14:46 Is it worth pointing out that `Comma splice` isn`t a sentence? Reply |
| 14. Author: Tad Allagash Date: Tue 23rd Dec 2025. 00:04 ‘Personally, I might have considered a semi-colon there if I were writing formally’ That’s a nice use of the subjunctive. Well played. Reply |
