"None of the party leaders taking part in the BBC debate...scared of Nigel Farage? After all, he destroyed Clegg, Cameron and Miliband in the Brexit debates all those years ago but I think things could get feisty between him and Rayner " "Scared of Nigel Farage"? WTF. He's couldn't debate he way out of a paper bag. His over simplistic nonsense rhetoric could be dismantled by a five year old. | |||

I disagree, he cuts through the replies that are repeatedly asked as a gotcha, or if the person hasn’t the belief in their answers or questions he exposes that. Finally he resonates with a lot people for being true to his values, that makes him appear sincere which is a rare trait today. Simply not liking someone doesn’t take away their abilities. Whether you love him or hate him is irrelevant, he is a very successful person. | |||

"Has anyone mentioned that there is a theory going round that Stamer was playing 4d chess. He didn't have to "win" he just didn't have to lose. He knew that Sunak was going to bullshit about the £2000, the "independent" treasury blah blah blah, all the while he already had proof that Sunak was lying through his teeth." I mentioned that in a previous recious thread, If anyone truly believes that then they're delusional to say the least. | |||

If that's true, you would have thought that Starmer would have pre-arranged a clever put down to make Sunak look stupid during the actual debate. Maybe he forgot it in the heat of the moment. | |||

The other parties have registered companies, Reform is a registered company. British political parties are traditionally formed as unincorporated associations composed of a membership, rather than established as corporate entities. Rules are usually set out in a written constitution, while party affairs are handled by a committee chosen by members - like that of Labour or the Conservatives. Nigel Farage can relieve Richard Tice of his directorship any time he wants, he can dissolve the company anytime he wants. He is the sole decision maker in Reform. There is no written constitution, no membership, no rules, other than what Farage says. | |||

"So you're first statement was a lie, or a mistake? I can remind you of it if it'll help." "It was a conscious mistake, to draw attention to the fact that Reform is primarily a company, and second a political party." This seems to be a very modern phenomenon, people deliberately lying about stuff to draw attention to a cause. They don't seem to realise that once they've been caught out in that lie, the listener will just ignore anything else they say. | |||
"So you're first statement was a lie, or a mistake? I can remind you of it if it'll help. It was a conscious mistake, to draw attention to the fact that Reform is primarily a company, and second a political party. This seems to be a very modern phenomenon, people deliberately lying about stuff to draw attention to a cause. They don't seem to realise that once they've been caught out in that lie, the listener will just ignore anything else they say." I’m not sure that is correct, I think most people believe themselves to be always right and double down when challenged rather than hold their hands up. I think it has something to do with social media, and really trusting sources that echo their bias | |||

The internet has opened up infinitely more avenues for “discussion” that were not there 15-20 years ago. Everyone has opinions and now everyone has easy, and anonymous, access to spout them with little or no repercussions. It has dramatically altered discourse. | |||

They are often asked about figures in the headlines, and they contact the sources to find out where the number came from. It's quite common for the source to say something along the lines of "we know it's not accurate, but we needed something newsworthy to start the conversation". | |||
