UKIP - The Future - Volume 2

[steveT350C]

On a more positive note, a write-up of UKIP's meeting in Clacton...

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/09/...


"As we all left, Farage and Carswell were both mobbed by well wishers buying party memberships, taking home yard and window signs, and one man I noticed hobble by, nodding in approval, carrying a UKIP sign in one hand and his breathing apparatus in the other."


Looks like Farage is attracting heavy smokers everywhere



"The broad audience of young people, middle-aged folks, the elderly and even the disabled turned out for UKIP tonight. I wondered to myself when that happened last for the Conservatives, Labour, or the Liberal Democrats."

1000 people turning up for a political rally is very unusual!

Clacton will be UKIP's first landslide.

ignoring the rest, I would suggest that's a pretty strong possibility don't you think?

on a lighter note, you all seen the paddy power video?

now, that's style!

I was a bit shocked at first thinking it might be a car crash but was absolutely brilliant. Smart move in my opinion.

It was quite a performance from Davey boy and certainly summed him up as the smarmy clueless toff he is.

UKIP invited the media to a drinks reception where we had to pay for our own drinks! #UKIPConf14

UKIP has not helped its popularity with British press tonight. Media reception was a pay bar & no receipts. Mutiny!

Claire Fox ‏@Fox_Claire 1 min

British journos' sense of entitlement can be hilarious. Mutiny tonight cos - shock horror - there's a PAY BAR at #UKIP conference.

I must admit I saw this in a Guardian headline and once I'd watched it had exactly the same thought - can you imagine Cameron, Clegg, or Miliband (especially Milband) poking a bit of fun at themselves?

Brilliant!

That is a bit much, but then do you doubt Cameron waited for the Scotland thing to be out the way before launching a bombing campaign ? Happy coincidence its a week after the referendum and slap bang between Labour and Ukip conferences.

Yeah I doubt that one very much indeed. FFS the reason we are getting involved now is because a coalition of multiple countries (crucially including some Arab states) has finally come together to start taking it to ISIL. AFAIK that's happened only in the last week or so. If you think they all agreed to wait for the Scottish referendum to finish and then agreed that they'd time cause maximum distraction from the bloody UKIP conference, you don't need a tinfoil had, you need a lead lined one!

Yeah, waiting weeks after the US already started bombing and while the RAF has already been in Cyprus waiting for 6 weeks to launch it's token 6 jets, had nothing to do with Scotland's referendum vote being on a knife edge. Bet that got no consideration what so ever to be at war in the middle of a referendum with the pissed off neighbors. A five year old could have predicted it was going to happen a just after the vote.
You really that gullible to think it was all down to waiting on some Middle East countries to sign up before Dave got in on the action ?

If you'd also read what I said before rushing for the keyboard, you might have noticed the very first thing I said to the linked article with the claim of it being a spoiler was that it was a bit much, but that I thought it obvious nothing was going to happen until the referendum was done.
From your posting style I think I am meant to add one of these as proof of something, or does adding ever more of them only really emphasize the point ? Maybe if I outdid your 4 and posted 6 of them it would so belittle you into not replying. What is the logic ?

When did the Iraqi prime minister request this help?

[brenflys777]

Incidentally wasn't Nigel Farage the most prominent politician to voice his horror that David Cameron wanted to arm and support these rebels in Syria a few months ago? Now the rebels have turned out to be terrorists... who'd have thought?

I see Plymouth Sutton and Devonport is one of the most likely to change colour come the GE. I simply cannot see it becoming purple. Brenda Gilroy is useless as an MP, or she was for the old Falmouth Camborne constituency, but Devonport is strong Labour territory and Sutton is strongish Tory territory. Both will vote traditionally, I would think. Ukip will probably pick up more than the 2800ish they got last time, but no way will they overturn either of the other two's circa 13k. Or are Ukip hoping to steal all 10k of the Libdems votes?

ignoring the rest, I would suggest that's a pretty strong possibility don't you think?

I doubt it.

Big big university town Plymouth and plenty will still vote for them down here despite the shambles they've been recently. I would be suprised but not shocked if even one half of Plymouth went purple next May.

I do find it interesting that the whole story lacks a single quote from Nigel to that effect..

I am sure some have raised an eyebrow, but I fond it hard to believe that as a party UKIP have said anything of the sort.

but then again, don't let that get in the way of a good smear!

Farage just confirmed it on the Today programme. And "noted" that when the Tory MP defected to UKIP recently the Govt announced an increase in the terror threat the next day.

Nutjob.

[IainT]

So, the UKIP fans default is to believe that any bad press is an unfounded smear and any bad press of other parties is true and good reporting?

My interest right now is to see if UKIP can actually put out coherent polices that amount to more than 'anti' positions. Right now I still can't distinguish UKIP from a single-issue separatist party and they're not even consistent on that.
