Fake, never shines in Manchester

We can't be naive, Reform is a possibility, as you say. However, a lot can and will happen in the next 3 or so years. In a strange way, Reform having a lot of council seats could work against them as it may well highlight how out of their depth they are when handed a bit of responsibility.

I like that optimism with a sprinkling of reality.

Better to let them knock, then ask them the questions.

I did grill a Reform rep during the local elections.
He didn't have much to say. I told him that 67% of the Scottish population voted to remain and they weren't welcome and then I cited the Dublin 3 agreement being a mechanism that curbed immigration and that exiting the EU was bad thing and that Nigel Cabbage saying that the govt. has lost control is a bit rich... but he was so overwhelmed by some random having a go, he walked off.
As he was walking away, I told him to keep going down the A75 and turn right.

My friend once has to wait on people coming to service his gas boiler when the Jehovah's Witnesses came calling.
He said it was very entertaining asking the awkward questions until they left. Passed the time in a more entertaining manner than daytime TV.

I had a flat mate years ago who used to do that. This is an abrieviated version -

'Jehovah's Witnesses? Is that a new religion?

'Oh no, we've been around for years and have lots of members'

'How many members do you think there have been, worldwide, since you were founded, including all the current ones?'

'Oooh, dunno, maybe 100 million.'

'And how many can go to heaven?'

'144,000'

'Not very good odds are they'

'Errrr....'
