MP resigns over white van/English flag tweet
Discussion
As soon as I saw the house, I knew what the bloke would look like. I certainly wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley after he's "been on it" down the pub!
I also reckon, if he could be bothered to cast a vote, that he either voted UKIP or Britain First, for the sole reason he reckons they'd "shuuut der borders".
He's the type of guy who is easily judged. Same as me, being brown with a beard (which I thought I was being trendy growing it!). I get judged every day on looks. I'm sure tri-flag man would judge me immediately.
If this topic was about anything else other than politics, and especially about a bloke from Strood, where UKIP just won a bi-election, then you'd all be judging him the same

"The use of stereotypes is a major way in which we simplify our social world; since they reduce the amount of processing (i.e. thinking) we have to do when we meet a new person."

edit - just saw this quote from him,
‘I will continue to fly the flags – I don’t care who it pisses off. I know there is a lot of ethnic minorities that don’t like it,’ he said.
Why would he think "a lot of ethnic minorities don't like it"?‘I will continue to fly the flags – I don’t care who it pisses off. I know there is a lot of ethnic minorities that don’t like it,’ he said.

That's right. Could have read that without the bold though 
So what was your first impressions on the guy/house?

"Mr Ware, who works in the motor trade and is also a cage fighter"
I think the major problem here is that just like a lot of celebrities/MPs, just she doesn't actually realise how t
tter works.
She thought that by posting a picture of a "chav van" all her Islington mates would look at it and chortle at the poor ignorant person & feel empathy for having to talk to "that sort" before tucking back into their pasta.
She didn't think that anyone, except people who think like her, would see it and given the fact that she keeps highlighting other tweets which supposedly support her position, shows that in fact she isn't sorry about it at all & feels she's the victim.
Just like Shoesmith & Thacker...

He is however, like many working class, best described using the phrase 'salt of the earth'.House- Covering an entire window and blocking out the light with a flag is just stupid.

st van
Shaved head
England st everywhere
Noisy summer BBQ's

Leaves his st van anywhere he feels like it

Pretty much on the same level of that idiot Cameron saying 'we're all in it together'.He might has well have said "you poor proles".

It appears that he voted Conservative at the last general election.I also reckon, if he could be bothered to cast a vote, that he either voted UKIP or Britain First, for the sole reason he reckons they'd "shuuut der borders".

His neighbours have described him as a "gentle giant".
Face to face, I'm usually the last one to judge someone. I come to a verdict on e I've interacted with said person. Problem is, I can't do that with this fella. I bet to all who know him, he's a stand up guy.
I believe people's impressions of this guy are skewed by the political st surrounding it.
He doesn't present himself too well though
