Young Reform UK-ers moan about dating—social media has the last laugh

PoliticsJOE_UK popped up at Lancaster University to quiz the campus Reform UK society. Their hot take? Saying “hello” to a woman now counts as harassment—and that makes dating near-impossible.

🎓 When politics meets pick-up lines
These keen young Reformers reckon any friendly greeting “blows it out of proportion.” They claim #MeToo rules turn every “hi” into a hate crime. Cue the collective eye-roll.

"These days you can say hello to a woman and they can blow it out of proportion."

Fellas I am going to drop you a hint, the reason you struggle to get a date is because is you belong to the Reform UK society and your peers are 18-21. https://t.co/vFqCcpndrd

Woke women won’t date me for my conservative views!

They won’t date you because you want low taxes?

No not those views…

So… deregulation?

Haha no not those either.

So which views?

Oh you know the ones. https://t.co/NWXC5hQ9OW
