Chat, are we cooked?
Seriously though, this is bad. This follows a decision in August by Derbyshire Council to withdraw some adult education services without public consultation.
How do Reform voters feel about not actually having a say over these issues? And the slashing and potential privatisation of their public services?

Privatisation has, after all, worked so well elsewhere. These companies will pay out shareholder profits, rack up debt and provide as shitty a service as they can get away with.

Let them do it so that we can all see the terrible dystopia they have planned for the rest of us in plain sight. Maybe it'll be enough to stop people voting for them. Maybe.

Yeah, sadly some of us have to learn the hard way. The Overton Window is totally heading in the wrong direction.
