Also, people always talk about potholes, you know, oh, they're bad, but where else would we put our pots?

I am very worried about reform doing well.

It does upset me massively.

I think it's really rotten.

I also think in the past when they've been elected to councils, they haven't actually obviously done well in doing anything.

I remember in Thanet, they didn't elect at the time Nigel Farage as an MP, but they did elect a full MP.

a full UKIP council, which is the strategy of, I won't let a fascist in parliament, but they can do the bins.

It didn't work out well for them at all.

And they've recently had quite a historic recent win in Cliftonville for the Greens.

I know that, you know, obviously there's been some issues with the Green Party, but obviously Zach Polanski himself, a Jewish man, a very cool guy, a very, very brave campaign that he's been waging against like all kinds of horrific messaging from the other political parties.

I would love to see the Green Party do well in general.

I think that in general, they are the only party that's offering a hopeful solution.

And then I saw as well that like reform...

I like trying to troll the Green Party and Green Party voters by saying that they're going to open migrant detention centres in green voting areas if they get in.

Forgetting that 99% of people would much rather have migrant detention centres in their constituency than reform voters.

Yeah.

if there was a trade off I would please for the love of God let this be possible and I think it's like what is depressing to me is that their whole politics is the politics of spite you know their whole politics is basically this will trigger you you know a complete like theatre of cruelty where people genuinely suffer and like

it could to me i'm like okay if you're going to put detention centers in a constituency near me maybe we can then allow those people to become a part of our community maybe we can then visit those people maybe we can then create a more community-based uh way to help people you know and then that's where they'd be like no no we didn't want you to enjoy it we wanted you to be in pain i think it's bleak and i i really really do hope that we're surprised pleasantly that reform don't do as well but

look well you see some of the classics being pulled out uh just ahead of the greens maybe getting some votes um like uh zach polanski being called out for maybe not being a full member of the national council of hypnotherapy despite having claimed to be one scandal if he's lying about that what else is he lying about the environment crumbling

Happy to be here.
