    If our voting system was based on actual numbers voting for each party I reckon we would have a sizeable amount of ukip mp's.

    But our first past the post system isn't really a true reflection of the nation.

    I also think that if people thought ukip had a chance in their area more people would vote for them. I read their manifesto and a fair bit of it was actually quite good.

    I just don't like the taste of them.

    Also these muslamic folk with their ray guns are somewhat troublesome.

    Save for the wonderful wildlife and the coastal scenery, Australia is a dreadfully mundane country.

    I spent a small fortune touring the place, yet I came away feeling deflated by the experience.

    With regards to the people, Syria, Siberia and Swaziland offer a greater level of hospitality and warmth.

    Thank ****. I don't want the world to know we're a nation of spastics, they only realise that when they come over and visit.

    UKIP's manifesto <doh>

    You could have avoided a comma splice by utilising either the semicolon or the dash.

    These errors need to be weeded out if you are to become my next PA.

    Nice one, T.

    Have you toured the wider Sussex area yet? Have a day out at Lewes. You can sample some real ale at the Harveys brewery, take a walk around the castle, and visit Anne of Cleves' house. And the ruins of the abbey offer a captivating location for a picnic.

    Done a fair bit of visiting, been living here on and off for the last 10+ years.

    I've been to Lewes a few times, Bonfire night is pretty crazy (although I took 10 pills last time I was there, never again...), I've worked there a few times too and had a walk around.

    There's a statue of my ancestor, Sir Thomas Paine, that was erected a few years ago in Lewes. My Dad was invited to the ceremony. I was distracted by London life back then but regret not going.

    Eastbourne is boring but quite nice, Worthing is depressing, if I lived in Hastings I think I'd attempt to swim back to France. Worked in a few little towns in the area, but Brighton/Hove is the place to be.

    I've been wandering round the Downs (<Aldo>) a fair bit too, saw the Chattri and been to a disturbing amount of freeparties in the local area.

    Being a young hyperactive hippy down here is great fun <diva>

    Indeed. Sniffing petrol does tend to knock a year or so off your life expectancy.

    The much lauded Tom Paine, eh? Impressive. And he has a Harveys ale named after him.

    Eastbourne is a fine town but, as you say, can be rather boring for the young. The Redoubt Fortress, Wish Tower, and Towner Gallery are all worth a visit, though.

    Hastings is good for history, yet you'd be better served visiting Battle, Normans Bay and Pevensey for the real deal.

    A good walk is from Birling Gap (lovely pub there) to Friston.

    Head over to Rye by car or train and enjoy.

    I've been to Battle, Pevensey and Rye, they're all very quaint. My dad's side of the family are based in Kent a bit further north (which has some of the best pubs ever), and my mum's parents live in Swanage (which has my favourite pub in the world there). Coming from a family of borderline/full blown alcholics I've done a fair bit of pub-related research <whistle>

    The main points from his manifesto were increase spending on defence to 2% of gdp. Seems reasonable.

    Extra 8bil on the NHS.

    Referendum within a year on EU membership to stop immigration. Large proportion of the country are fed up with immigration. I personally don't have an issue with it. As it doesn't affect me.

    Lower tax for working and middle classes.

    Increase tax on the super rich.

    Lower beer duty.

    Do away with the Barnet formula so the scots don't take out more than they put in. Now I don't have an issue with Scotland but I don't see how it's fair they get more spent on them per capita than the rest of us.

    All seems pretty legit to me.

    End of the day they aren't fit to govern. But nor is that ****ing muppet milliband. Who will get his trousers pulled down an get his arse savaged by that vile **** sturgeon. They get into power we are all ****ing doomed.

    1. Farage and the Kippers want to privatise the NHS, he's just changed his tune before the election to suck in feeble minded *****s.

    2. Leaving Europe would **** this country up beyond belief. Anyone that thinks the opposite has no ****ing clue.

    3. Lower beer duty? Really? You'll save like 3p a pint, that would make you vote for him? <doh>

    4. That last statement of yours is pure bullshit. A handful of SNP MPs won't be able to do ****. Same again, it's just stuff his advisors think will get them votes. Doomed? <doh> We're ****ed if Farage gets anywhere near power, not the other way round.

    The rest of your points are just pish. He won't do anything like that, his mates are all bankers and rich ****s. Some of their main donors are rich Europeans ffs <doh>

    This country hasn't had a great politician since Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester.

    Today's offering are nothing but jumentous buffoons.
