There is no dash, or exclamation mark. 
Yes, of course I stopped there.
VOTE GREEN, right there in big letters, no one cares about anything after that (esp small print).

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
In the same big letters it says (with a full stop at the end):
VOTE GREEN
GET ILLEGALS.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Its on different lines, so not read as one.
When you're driving past that, or even walking past it, the FIRST LINE is what counts.
What does "Get Illegals" even mean ?
Go out and get some ? What's an "illegal" ?
If you dont get the point its a complete fail by now, you never will (or just dont want to).

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Of course, none of that would affexct the youth and their stupid voting intentions.
Perhaps the only saving grace in terms of voting, whether Reform or Labour or whatever is that Labour may not now wish to lower the voting age.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Votes for the kids would have been a Labour vote winner had they not screwed up so royally and had not the evil Israel so wantonly attacked the beautiful Hamas much to the annoyance of said kids.

It’s probably the killing of Gazan civilians that "annoys" the "said kids", rather than the terrorists.
(but you probably knew that…)

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Are these the same kids that can't (legally) drink, smoke, drive a car, have no bill worries (living with parents), and spend all day on TikTok?

It’s probably might be the same kids who work, pay taxes, join the Armed Forces, drive a car or have a private pilot’s license (if they’re 17), get married, get a passport, give blood, etc., etc..

That's about right. What's the likely percentage?

It depends on where the 'experts' decide your age means you're not a kid, but a young adult . . 15, 16, 18, 21 . . ??
oh, and responsible, for what that's worth

Yes I would agree with you, legally a person becomes an adult with full ‘autonomy’ at 18. But it is understood that an individual doesn’t instantly change from a child to a full adult on a particular day.
Young adult is vague, probably rightly so, so can’t have a hard and fast line. So yes a 17 year old can join the armed forces, but not sent into a combat zone, a 16 year old can legally have sex with a partner but not appear in a porn video for others to watch; or indeed view porn, (which does seem slightly odd, you can do it but not see it; but OK I’ll run with it).
Yes, I agree the various ages are somewhat arbitrary, but you can’t do much else.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
From a child, I was a newspaper reader. I watched TV news, etc. So, ignorant, I wasn't. But somehow, I formed an opinion that rich people had no right to be rich.
It wasn't till I had a house and family, that my political tendencies switched from Labour to Conservative - around 24 years of age.
If you take that as a benchmark, then, in the pre-Greens & Reform UK world, you could see why Labour would want to gerrymander the 2million+ votes available from the 16-18 year olds.
