Nigel retires - Richard steps forward to fill the gap at the head of the Reform Party - is this a great leap forward, sideways, or backwards, or status quo?
This is the video of his (virtual) press conference:
Observations:
- no mention of the Covid lock-down fiasco / vaccine blackmail
- no mention of PPE crony purchasing
- no mention of civil service bloat / control of agenda (but some nods towards simplification - we have heard it all before)
- no mention of the controlled media - independent investigative journalism now extinct in mainstream
- no mention of NHS-BigPharma-BigGovt cronyism
- no mention of reversing the devolution that enables ever more politicians' snouts in the trough
- no mention of the new world order that beckons once the US has decided where it's going
- but plenty of distraction in the minutiae that will be swept away on the tide of history after he's been elected
My verdict? - unimportant.
Your verdict?
