How can a government persuade the British media to spare some time to discuss important policy issues?
Make the story about Nigel Farage of course. A depressing reality but more of this please.

Cue the "They're scared of Reform" comments.

I've just read a Facebook comment from a Reform moron - apparently Labour has failed and destroyed the economy and Fargle's plans will sort it out.
Where do they get this shit?

Russia.

Yes, but what actually is his plan

"Remigration"

A word that features prominently on the Homeland Party web site.

I'd never heard of this lot until their election leaflets started coming through my letterbox - and they scare me more than Reform.

And we're back to US chicken again.

Nigel Farage has defended allowing labelled chlorinated chicken from the US into the UK as part of a trade deal, as a poll suggested his Reform UK party could be on course to take the highest number of seats at a general election.

Speaking before the local elections in England on 1 May, Farage said British consumers already ate chicken from places such as Thailand reared in poor conditions, and accepted chlorine-washed lettuce.

He told the Sunday Times: “If you have a look at the chicken we are currently importing from Thailand, you look at the conditions they’ve been reared in, and that every single bag of pre-made salad in every single supermarket has been chlorinated … once those basics have been accepted I’ll have a debate with you.”

The plan? We're seeing in in the USA. Strip mine the state. Remove statutory protections. Shut up the clever bastards. Denigrate expertise. Keep women and minorities afraid. Make money the sole yardstick of society. Break things and blame the clever bastards you sacked when they don't work any more. Keep everyone angry and looking for a scapegoat.

Meanwhile behind the door marked private, party hard.
