      Inexperienced newly elected Councillors put in charge of massive budgets in critical areas of council work, what could possibly go wrong.

      I hate to be that guy but why do they look exactly how I would expect them to look?

    3. This is frightening on a biblical scale. Anyone with any experience of the complexity of delivering public services in such an accountable environment as this would run a mile if they were offered these posts.

      Unless they are highly qualified to fill them (they’re not).

      or

      They, and the people putting them in the posts, are utter morons.

      Another symptom of the left not taking immigration seriously enough. Anti-immigration is seen by many as a lower-class or lower-intellect mindset, but the more this carries on, the more traction reform will gain.

      If the left sorted mass migration, the we wouldn’t have 19yo’s running children’s services, and we won’t be facing the possibility of Farage as PM.

      > Reform councillors aged 19 and 22 in charge of children’s and adult services at local authority

      Imagine yourself at 19. I can only imagine how badly I would have fucked up being in charge of anything in government at that age.

      A relevant quote“

      „In children’s services especially, lead members have statutory responsibilities under legislation like the Children Act 2004, including duties related to the Director of Children’s Services and the Local Safeguarding Children Board“

      And just imagine what it’s going to be like if they get into power at the next election.

      Joseph Boam does Adult Social Care for Leicestershire despite it being pointed out that he’s made social media posts saying that depression isn’t real

      Edited to mention he’s also said Racist things too I’ve just found out, I’m not surprised in the slightest.

    9. If only there was another country collapsing in front of our eyes that we could have used as a warning to not be as gullible and stupid as them.

    10. Gonna be really interesting to see what the Reform voters have to say when all of this goes inevitably goes about as well as the Truss mini budget.

    11. The party of common sense indeed… these two guys don’t even look like they’ve even pulled a girl or boyfriend yet, far less experienced the life lessons of parenthood and accumulated a decades worth of business, budget and management experience..

      I despise Reform and everything they represent, but Labour have a twenty three year old MP and no one gives a shit about that.

    13. Average age of those in the control room in charge of putting a man on the moon was 26. They may actually be better than an adult the has become entrenched.

      It dawns on me I don’t know anything about local government. I certainly couldn’t tell you what my councillor does, what a councillor even can do, what party they’re from, term length, salary, hours. 

      I bet 90% of people would say the same.

      > Charles Pugsley, 19, who is still at university, has been made cabinet member for children and family services.

      Fucking what? I know uni students do work other jobs for income during studies, but how can he even balance two years of uni left, and deal with an incredibly complex social work service?

      He does realise if something goes wrong, how much scrutiny and much of a shit storm will land on him?

      My suspicion? These were paper candidates plucked with the aim of coming second and making a wave, without realistically thinking they’d win and now they have, will find out Reform does not have experience nor expertise to govern.

      I reckon they’ll resign before before they finish their uni course.

    16. Only_Tip9560 on

      This could happen with any party and is clearly a feature of our political system within local government. If we are not prepared for younger adults to be councillors why do we have a system that allows them to be elected?

      Also, please remember that these councillors have a portfolio in the cabinet they are not being put in operational control of these areas of delivery directly.

      Reform councillors are a useless bunch in their entirety whether 22 or 52 so their age really is not that relevant. The idea that one of the more „experienced“ reform councillors would make a better fist of this or any other portfolio is unrealistic.

    17. Reform kiddies looking to get revenge on the bullies.*

      * People fed up with their constant shit.

    18. Loved that interview where they were interviewing young people at a reform convention and they didn’t have a clue what reform was, what any of the policies were, how they would work etc

      But they loved the memes

    19. Tricksilver89 on

      Imagine thinking councillors run these services directly.

      I thought we didn’t do misinformation?

    20. LadyMirkwood on

      Following Trumps lead that positions are given to those who are, regardless of suitability or ability.

      I’d ask any Reform voter how they expect Farage to put together a prospective cabinet with so little experience and so small a pool to choose from.

    21. ShadowDarkstream on

      I think for Reform it is a win win. If they turn it around and make it a success, that reflects well on them. If things go to the bin, they can blame it on other factors and wash their hands to it. I think the latter is the likely reason they will choose when the time comes. 

      And as the polls have shown, no amount of links to Russia etc will reduce their numbers. Farage could be on the cliffs of Dover and livestreaming himself Murder people on the boats coming over and it’ll be seen as a win  Ws in the chat. For the vast majority of this voting block, even if the final solution was considered and enacted the supporters wouldn’t bat an eye lid. Humans are fantastic at justifying things to themselves. Perhaps the people getting locked up and gassed ala the Jews in WW2 will get dehumanised first.

      Shit like this pisses me off for one huge reason. I’m a professional in my mid 30s. I have had loads of jobs, worked my way up and learned lots of skills and knowledge. BUT I still don’t think I’m qualified to progress in my role yet. The fact is I probably could do it, but I don’t feel prepared or ready or experienced enough.

      How do absolute idiots with no life experience or knowledge or skills or *anything* of value not see a job like this and think ‘wow, I am NOT qualified for this’

      It’s the same in the US and when the Tories were in power. Just the absolute most stupid, un inquisitive, lazy, ignorant people doing jobs they’re far from qualified to even apply for – let alone do. The fact they take these jobs is proof enough that they shouldn’t be doing them.

      If I can see how plainly unqualified they are it is scary that they don’t see it themselves.
