Again, 5 hours at Gallagher McDonald's and they could clean up.

Do that country wide and govnt start hitting the companies with huge fines.

In reality that wouldn't work. Those companies have a the system set up so the workers are at arms length. The illegal workers will 'rent' logins to those services from people who are registered legally. Makes it very difficult to take any meaningful action against the companies themselves.

So what do you do? Round up the people at Gallagher and then what, you're not going to be automatically deporting them under current laws so you basically tell them not to do it again and they're back at it the next day because its the only way they can earn money.

If there was a sizeable and publicised boycott of those companies they'd soon find ways to bring in stricter checks on who is doing the work.

Oh yes people are going to boycott McDonalds - it’s a franchise anyway?

Just apply the law and fine them the statutory amount for every employee they do it for.

Thing is, whatever they project for Reform, add around 10% more of the vote on, there will be more people intending to vote Reform who wont say it publically for fear of the name calling etc

The polls are confidential, you aren't having your name and voting intention listed.

There will also be a lot of people that will vote tactically/hold their nose and vote Labour to avoid putting Farage in No 10.

If they find people renting other accounts then they hammer the companies for not having the correct checks and procedures in place. Fine the company every time somebody is caught using a rented account.

"Only way they can earn money" makes it sound like they aren't getting money from the government and their bills paid for.

You see takeaways getting raided and charged for having illegal workers so why not Uber eats and deliveroo?

So the outcome of that election result is what then?

The Tories boot Kemi for Jenrick and agree to prop up Farage before the inevitable reverse takeover?

Reform minority government that gets to collapse and moan about never getting a chance before it actually has to do something?

Extraordinarily unpopular rainbow coalition of left/centre-left parties?

Nobody’s name gets published in these things. I got phoned by Ipsos again recently to ask about politics and who I’d vote for. One of the questions was who out of Starmer/Badenoch/Farage would make the best PM.

I was told that ‘none of them’ wasn’t an acceptable answer

It's just a piss take when somebody works all their life.

Kind of shit that makes people want to put flags on lampposts.

Yesterday there were 2 people standing on a bridge above the M1 holding a flag on a pole over the bridge. Drove back an hour later and they were still there.

I doubt that. Labour will be obliterated like the tories

Things is with this, the whole rhetoric of reform voters being racist etc doesnt stack up does it?

This shows that Reform as it stands will almost get a full majority. Is the whole country now suddenly racist? I dont think so. I think the fact you can get a Tesco shop to your door quicker than a copper, waiting 15 hours for an Ambulance and no one having any money to ever do anything despite working their bollocks off says more on this projection

No, but you have to question why it’s Reform that benefits rather than say, the Greens or Lib Dems.
