No. I see through the hype. Others seem to be suffering from a bad case of gullibility.

I am so sorry to hear that this bothers you so much.

I am sorry to hear that you confuse "curiosity where opaque funding is coming from" with "bother"…

With so much self-projection going on here, you're giving Odeon Cinemas some serious competition! :D

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Congratulations to Dan Thomas, who has been chosen by Farage the new Head of Reform in Wales.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/...rrer=deep-link

He will bring to Wales his relevant experience of living in London for the last 27 years (he moved there when he was 18), working in Financial Services and being a Conservative Candidate twice, and being a Conservative Councillor for 20 years (including being the Leader of Barnet Council for four years).

Amusingly, all the reporting state that "he moved away from Barnet so that he and his wife could raise their young sons in the countryside and live closer to their families in south Wales and "moved to the West Country to be closer to his family and raise his children there.", and Farage said "“Why did I pick Dan? He tells a story of someone who had to go away but loves Wales so much he wants his own children to grow up in a similar environment.…

"a similar environment", "West Country", and "live closer" - so, not Wales, then?

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

I don’t give a rat’s derrière where he lives - I just think it’s unusual for someone who has appointed as Leader of a Political Party in a country not to live in the country he’s just been appointed to lead that Political Party in…

It’s like being elected as a Constituency MP, but never holding constituency surgeries in that place…

Oh wait, I see a theme emerging… ;)

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Yes, that press release does assume the public is les intelligent than we are. Loves Wales so much he moved out of London to bring his children up in SW England. ;)

Where did Hugh say he wanted him to live anywhere ?

Hes guilty of not living in Wales, the country he's being appointed "Head of Reform" for.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Interesting…

The newly appointed leader of Reform UK in Wales hasn’t moved back to his home town in the Valleys, but has bought a £1m house near Bath, we can reveal.

Dan Thomas, the former Conservative leader of Barnet council in London, was introduced on February 5 by Nigel Farage as his handpicked leader in Wales.

Farage told the Reform event in Newport: “He has not been brought into Reform ‘from the outside’…

… Blackwood-born Thomas told the conference in Newport: “After 27 years I’m back home. Raising my two boys in the south Wales valleys. I’ve come back to where I belong.”

“He has voluntarily left London, come back to the Valleys, living in Islwyn, come back to his home, and he’s done that because he loves Wales.

“He’s done that because he wants his children to grow up being Welsh…

… We wrote to Reform UK’s press team, stating: “We have been told that Dan Thomas does not live in Wales, but in the Bath area.

“We shall be publishing a story to this effect later today.

“Could you please answer the following questions:

“Why was it stated at the Newport event that Reform’s newly announced Wales leader Dan Thomas lives in Wales, when he in fact lives in the Bath area in a house he has bought for around £1m since selling his previous home in Edgware?

“We have been told that he is working for a large financial institution from his home in the Bath area. Why was this not made clear?

“As you will be aware, Mr Thomas’s ability to stand for election to the Senedd depends on his living in Wales at what is his primary residence. Is it his intention to claim that his primary residence is his father’s home in Blackwood, and does he honestly believe that complies with the law?.

Nah, don't think AI has a sense of humour . . . although thinking about it, it could have a nice sarcastic side ;)

What are AI hallucinations?

AI hallucination is a phenomenon where, in a large language model (LLM) often a generative AI chatbot or computer vision tool, perceives patterns or objects that are nonexistent or imperceptible to human observers, creating outputs that are nonsensical or altogether inaccurate.

tbf, that definition also encapsulates Reform policies… ;)

Yes, I've previously tried a few images with Chat GPT and Copilot and it does that type of thing.

In Clacton he's now known as Nigel Mirage, as the only time people see him locally is when they're hallucinating! :D
