I am not at all ruffled, but am amused to see UKIP living up to stereotype. I have nothing but gentle compassion and pity for those of you who are sufficiently benighted to fall for the nonsense.
26 million: see the poster. If that isn't plan enough, listen to the Today discussion.
The stereotypical condescending response from the chattering classes....you save your pity for those who need it. No doubt your teaboy will be along soon to back you up.26 million: see the poster. If that isn't plan enough, listen to the Today discussion.
Alas, I have no cohorts, and certainly none gleaming in purple and gold. It would be a sad day if jokes were banished from politics. I do not like Osborne, but I liked his Magna Carta gag in the budget speech. Farage needs better jokes, although I suppose that his party is quite a good one.
Guam, still on the Whataboutism 101 course? Thought you had finished it by now.

Hate it when that happens.
PS: I don't think that I got any takers for my hundred quid bet on UKIP getting zippo MPs in the 2015 General Election. WW said on the other thread that someone popped up to take the bet, but if someone did I missed it amidst all the chattering from the non chattering classes.
How about a side book on who will be the next PM after Cameron? My bet is Osborne, much as I hate to say it. Johnson? Probably not. Milliband? I doubt it.

Could you explain a few things ? Why is it racist, which racist is saying its not racist, who is the racist millionaire and what are his pet projects, and finally, do you feel you use the word 'racist' rather too much here ? UKIP racist poster campaign isn't racist says racist...

On the subject of ruffling the chattering classes, this is a further indication that Farage is a deeply unserious politician. He is the archetype of the fourth form wag, laughing at his own rather duff jokes. He has nothing serious to offer the electorate, just merry japes and wheezes pour épater la bourgeoisie. Jokes are fun, but politics also needs a bit of seriousness.
The thing about Farage is that he doesn't give a st. He knows he will never be in power. He knows that UKIP will fade into irrelevance in a few years. He suspects the UK will never leave the EU, but he is happy to have fun shouting about it while taking the money, including the second pension that he has just started complaining about.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27105374

But there are enough people, who have a vague feeling that things used to be better and should be better now, who will support UKIP because it is not one of the parties that has been in power over the last century. That is an indictment of politics and politicians generally, but the shouty Messiah is a false one; he offers nothing.

OK, apart from the referendum what else?
Shale gas?
Yes, well the shale gas goes without saying; but apart from the referendum and the shale gas what have UKIP ever done for us?
etc...
Did you know the Tories have haemorrhaged members while UKIP membership continues to rise?

the article said:
According to the website ConservativeHome, the Tories have claimed there are now 134,000 Tory members, down from over 253,000 during the 2005 leadership contest.
The party had earlier this year refused to release the figures amid claims that the number may have fallen below 100,000.

The UK Independence Party, led by Nigel Farage, has also seen its membership soar to around 40,000 as it picks up disgruntled former Tory voters.

Interesting election posters, eh? I see that the 75% of law making canard is still doing the rounds. Also the complete fib, for such it is, that there are 26 million Eurocitizens after your job. Pretty confident, not to say brazen stuff.
Shouty bloke deputy to Farage on the Today prog being shouty. John Humphreys gently nailed him.
Does it matter if there are 26 million or just 26 people that want to come to the UK? Either way we should be able to decide who we do and don't want.Shouty bloke deputy to Farage on the Today prog being shouty. John Humphreys gently nailed him.

So who does?
The flawed parties that put out manifestos for the 2010 GE that have not since been disowned by their respective leaders. They are all far from perfect (indeed Labour scares me and the LbDems are cynically looking to remain in power by shoring up one of the other two), but they at least have a coherent agenda.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
