Do they have any positive policies? I mean in the sense of adding, producing, creating? Or is it all the opposite.. denying and restricting, undoing, and removing.

Doesn’t really matter what inane stupid rules he wants to bring in, his chances of remaining politically relevant are shrinking by the day.

Worth making the point that no other major nation did as much as the UK to end slavery.
We spent 40% of our nations budget at the time to pay for their freedom and we only finished playing off the debt in 2015.
The biggest slave owners were actually other Africans, after tribal wars the victors kept the losers as slaves.

Couldn’t we just not pay any reparations… and not block legal visas from those countries? Seems like a win win?

Reform aside this nonsense about slavery reparations continues to be forehead slapping, you could give 600 million billion pounds to these African states and they would turn it into a smoking pile of shit in 12 months. Plus there’s more slaves alive today than at any point in history, where’s the liberty for those people?

Honestly I’m coming round to Reform’s insane anti migrant stance. It’ll cause a labour shortage so severe, wages and contracts must surely get better. A kind of general-strike-without-the-exercise.
OK. Along the way your nan will die because she won’t have anyone to care for her, but that might just have to be the price we pay for wages that actually reflect the cost of living.

I don’t agree with reparations, but this looks like another pathetic gimmick that will ultimately harm us and our global reputation.

Can we please make Reform irrelevant again
