New poll reveals Labour is the ‘anti-fun’ party that loves to ban things people enjoy

A new survey has revealed a rather gloomy attitude to Labour, with policies like the smoking ban driving further support for Nigel Farage and his Reform party.

The upcoming ban on disposable vapes and smoking for those born after 2008 is pinned as a key driver of this resentment, with Sir Keir’s government being accused of interfering too much in the lives of Britons. The poll, commissioned by the Adam Smith Institute think tank, suggests Labour’s nanny-state attitude is also fuelling defections to Reform.

One in five 2024 Labour voters say they have become more likely to vote for Reform at the next election, pegging Nigel Farage as more “fun”, who “tells it how it is”, and who better “understands working people”. 44% of Britons said the government has too much say over personal freedoms, while a majority agreed that Labour “loves to ban things that people enjoy”. By contrast, Reform UK is perceived as the most fun party.

Maxwell Marlow, Director of Public Affairs at the Adam Smith Institute, said: “The British public clearly thinks that the government is trying to regulate the fun out of their lives- whether it’s by banning cigarettes and disposable vapes or not supporting our pubs.”

...and to prove they’re really Anti-Fun, their PRIME GOAL at this point seems to be getting World War 3 started (in Ukraine, of course).

Labor is adjusting itself to meld seamlessly with their future leaders - members of the religion of hate and lies.

But it is to save the children (that weren’t aborted) and the planet.

No worries, Brits! You can vote Labour out in the next election, which must occur by August of 2029 at the latest.

Oh, wait. That’s more than four years away. By then the Muslim hordes might be controlling the UK streets - and the country.

I dunno. Perhaps a Christian Brit should visit the nearest American consulate, and fill out an immigration form.

Sadly, UKanians are stupid enough to keep voting Labour anyway.
