I will always support Nigel and Reform. I never voted until the Brexit referendum and I’m embarrassed to say that now. As a black man, who only has the opportunity to vote after the fight of brave forefathers to give it to me, I now do vote and have done since, even in all local elections and so too does my wife and daughter.

I live in Newcastle and pretty much everyone voted Labour so there didn’t seem much point in voting differently even if you wanted to but truth be told I wasn’t bothered, I didn’t understand politics, I didn’t feel that my life was any better or worse as a result of any government being elected but I now know that this was due to me being self employed so if I needed to earn more money I worked more hours & hey presto everything was fine.

You wouldn’t think it but I actually voted remain. When the Brexit referendum came around it enticed me into politics as it was a 50/50 vote that I could see would make a difference to the UK and I could see that my vote would now count. I researched both sides of the argument and I could see both sides of the argument but if truth be told I leaned more towards leave because I’ve always felt that politics, not all politicians, is corrupt and that we needed more sovereignty as it seemed that so many things were being blamed on the EU and we just accepted it.

This is a massive generalisation and has no evidence but I’m 50 years old now and have watched so many tv programmes, movies etc where the police, judiciary, politicians etc are corrupt so I, personally, understand that this isn’t just fiction, it has to be fact, people in positions of public power, where we blindly think they have our best interests at heart, use their positions of influence to enhance their own positions.

How are people like Joe Biden and Tony Blair so wealthy, you could probably put it all down to hard work, luck and investments and I don’t doubt the hard work but I do doubt where the luck and the investments provided the opportunity.

It’s just as bad in private companies where bosses pay all their staff the minimum amount they can to keep them in the job and generate healthy profits and lead lavish lifestyles but they have the brain power, work ethic and take the risks to make this happen so you give it a mental pass.

Public money, taxes, has been raised for centuries to provide a wealthier life for the ruling class and js spent without a care in the world, why would you care, if not held accountable, what’s the problem.

When I woke up after the referendum I was happy that leave won because I voted with my head and not my heart. I was a recruitment consultant at the time, my only employed job in my lifetime & it was the only thing that swung me to remain as I was 50/50 but remaining was apparently going to be better for my job.

After the vote I saw the establishment try and overturn the vote, get another referendum and then do what they could to make sure the deal we got was the worst possible & subsequently have pushed to make economic conditions so bad that the British public will want to go back in but they won’t because we have reached the end of our tether and this is why I will be voting for Nigel and Reform UK, Nigel is the one person in UK politics that I genuinely feel I can trust, I thought I could trust Boris but I was wrong, listening to GB News and Talk radio I understood that Boris was never the person he portrayed homely to be but he was a great salesman & he got what he wanted.

I don’t feel the same about Nigel, I have looked at what he has said for decades and it all seems to be linear. When I watch him, he doesn’t need pre prepared speeches written by special advisers who have barely lived in the real world, he speaks from the heart, with passion, conviction, truth & patriotism & above everything I actually believe him whereas the words spoken by other politicians have been in the past & now like Starmer, Badenoch, Polanski etc are just word salad’s to gain popularity.

Nigel’s building a great team around him, Ben & Rupert leaving was a great loss but I trust in Nigel, Zia left & then came back, that spoke volumes to me & along with the other MP’s I know that we are in safe hands
