ahhh so it's ok to make jokes about bad things unless it don't suit you and in those situations it makes me classless... you are indeed within your rights to think what you want but so are the rest of us so stop calling us classless and unintelligent...only precious tarts resort to name calling
Your comments where classless and i stand by my original comment that if anyone doesn't understand why ukip are gaining popularity they are unintelligent. And i already responded about making jokes about bad situations, please go back and re-read my comments should you have an interest in my view on this particular subject. Thanks
Ok this is irritating me. I started with I approve of this post, then edited for I approve this post, now I feel like editing it back. Both are correct English but I can't figure out which one sounds like it fits the sentence better... Argh!
Not sure who that comment is aimed at ? But I've already outlined why UKIP are gaining popularity, because they make popularist soundbites at a time where people are disillusioned with party politics and they serve up powerless victims to blame for the UK's problems. They are opportunists and chancers, who feed and feed off of people's paranoia about anything or anybody 'different'. As for giving them a platform for their voice, would you offer the same luxury for the BNP if they became as popular ? Personally my political stance is to challenge that which I believe to be damaging and I think UKIP are full of empty rhetoric, scaremongering and ******ed thinking. They offer precisely **** all in terms of workable policy and their entire existence is to try and ramp up a right wing agenda. If they ever actually got into power this country would be well and truly ****ed and probably taken to court over numerous human rights issues, bereft of any foreign investment and the laughing stock of developed nations. There was a political party in Germany in the late thirties who gained popularity by promising to fix the German economy by isolating Germany from the rest of Europe and blaming johnny foreigner for the economic problems that they faced ....
Paragraph 1 - lots of that is true, but it's the avoidance of these same popular issues by the main parties that allow ukip the space to grow. Paragraph 2 - yes, if the bnp had enough of a following I'd give them the same coverage as well. I think it'd be there downfall personally as none of them have the intelligence, wit or charisma to be on the main stage. Ukip have plenty of good ideas just not enough solid workable policies. If they where to ever get power it would take time and they would have had to work on adding more depth and substance to there policies, so I wouldn't bee too concerned about them grabbing power before formulating better thought out policy. I believe they are currently in a phase of rewriting a lot of there policies and I'd imagine that'll happen more times before they attain any form of real power. Hopefully they finish eliminating the idiots from there party as well to create a viable alternate party. Paragraph 3 - don't you think that's going a little far to suggest farage is the new coming of hitler? (P.s. Hitler did sort out the German economy prior to the collapse of the nazi empire)
The Germans thought the Nazi party were a genuine force for good when they were rising to power too, so the parallels stand. I don't think Farage is the second coming of Hitler, but you can see where this type of thinking leads. I think there's an argument for giving these people a platform so that they can be roundly debunked, but there are also hate speech laws in this country, so you have to find a balance. We are poles apart Politically on this mate. I understand why UKIP have become popular, but for me their thinking is entirely reactive and blames the wrong people for the problems that exist. You have to look deeper at the root causes instead of blaming the victims.
