Th candidate for Portsmouth South said this in the news comments section: 'That said, if you do not care that our country and national identity are being deliberately overrun by mass immigration, please let me know what topic does interest you.' Look how brazenly he makes sarcastic comments towards though who dare to have an interest in issues other than immigration. This is the kind of person we want in power? It's Primary school politics. Sincerely hope he responds to my comment on the news.
We have a UKIP candidate standing on the Isle of Wight in 2015. Keeping very quiet at the moment though. Our rather ineffective sitting (on the fence mostly) Tory M.P., should be looking over his shoulder as UKIP seem to be gaining (rightly or wrongly) supporters throughout the UK.
This is what happens when issues are ignored by politicos...people get annoyed. UKIP are not the problem, they are the response to a perceived refusal to address real concerns. Labelling anyone who voices those concerns as a "fruit-cake" or "extremist" doesn't help either. (Mr Cameron) If they achieve nothing else, UKIP have stirred the pot. Now we wait for meaningless, vote-seeking platitudes from the Tories and Labour (the libs are irrelevant). See how "tough" both Labour and Tories will be on these issues....until the election is over. There are some strange, and rather unpleasant, individuals amongst the UKIP ranks - however, they have yet to declare an illegal war, be found dead and naked with an orange stuffed in their mouths, carry out large scale abuse of children in their Rochdale constituency, deliberately gerrymander the entire country with record numbers of supposed "Labour" voting incomers ("rubbing the right's nose in diversity"), destroy the economy, or blatantly lie about a "cast iron" constitutional promise made conveniently before an election. Given time, they might match all these achievements; at the moment they seem no better or worse than the other chancers.
Well put Brecon - I can't help feeling that UKIP is the symptom rather than the cure but seeing as the Lab rats and Con artists are like the average GP and just prescribe more pills rather than listen to you and work with you to cure your ailments, they have been allowed to grow. Given time I am sure they will become like the rest of the parties, especially if they keep poaching trough swilling tories. Oh well, democracy is hugely flawed but it's better than the alternatives.
In all seriousness the media in the UK are largely responsible for creating a certain mindset in the population!!!! UK is in a far healthier position than other EU countries such as Spain where there is a huge number of young unemployed. Couldn't tell you what the Spanish Government are doing about it - UK Governments of whatever persuasion usually do put in measures to counter this and rightly so!
The population are generally sick of parties you can barely get a Rizla between and staffed by mostly career politicians who don't understand the realities of life - I certainly would never vote UKIP but it's easy to see why they have started to gain popularity with some of a certain mindset. I really think certain areas of a nations society should not be in the hands of just the ruling party - they should be coalition commitee led with a professional at the head of it eg Health, Education & Defence to name a few - they need long term stability and aims that meet the aim of providing a healthy educated & secure society rather than political footballs that end up staffed by exhausted and demoralised people who await each election with a sense of dread and "here we go again".
I think they are simply the Toff's version of the EDL. They have virtually no policies that don't involve immigration/EU in some way. It's all written down very nicely but this picture sums up the truth. please log in to view this image
Most of the UKIP vote will be from Eurosceptic otherwise tory voters. Trouble is though, if too many of them do desert 'Dave' for Farage, this will be our Prime Minister come May. Personally I think we'd be better off with the one on the right.
With only options really being a variation on a theme from the old Eton boys it leaves us a bit between the devil and the deep blue sea eh? I already know who I'm voting for next May, and it's none of the above. Only one thing left...... and that's left.....
What DC or Bert? Perhaps Bert and Ernie could form a new coalition with (Michael) G'r'over as Transport minister. please log in to view this image If anyone needed proof that endless privatisation of state run services was a bad idea, what happened at Finsbury park should close the argument.
Well, the trains are terrible I think we'll all agree but that's not proper privatisation as they're essentially just a series of regional monopolies so the myth of consumer choice is just that.
