Yeah. I think that's me - a minority like. I'm from the 'North'; Barnsley fan (obviously), I didn't go to public school, I like Family Guy and have just discovered Modern Family is really good; Oh and I think Farage is a con artist (not the lazy "oh yeah - all politicians are the same rubbish.") but a genuine con artist. Ukip are not scary though. They have the most extraordinary Members I've ever come across. Check out the bloke on the last 5 minutes of the PM programme (another minority interest) tonight. He was priceless. Managed to get God, Snake oil being an evil expression and the youth of today all in one sentence!!
BNP brain dead idiots run by brain dead idiots overtly racist. UKIP pretty much the same but being manipulated by the rich and powerful pretty much in the way that the rich have always tried to deflect criticism when he **** hits the fan. Deflect from bankers by blaming foreigners oldest trick in the book if you fall for that yup you're dafter than the BNP. At least the BNP support the national minimum wage... Our grandfathers fought for freedom in Europe. It's a betrayal of their legacy to vote UKIP or any other party that campaigns along racially divided lines.
In the same way that the left and centre launch their scare tactic smear campaigns at anything that challenges their ideology. Its a bit like the anti fascists ganging up on the fascists and failing to see the irony in what they're going. Its very crass to say that all UKIP supporters are racist in the same way as it would be to suggest that all green party supporters are sandal wearing, lentil eating hippies.
Well put. Nothing at all racist about UKIP wanting to bring in an Australia style points system where if you want to come here you have to have something to offer. Our little island is overcrowded and measures have to take place.
Shall I dredge up some of the quotes from UKIP candidates on race? Pretty shocking stuff. The race thing I can take or leave. Of course racists don't think their racist it's a given. The attacks on the Minimum Wage, the attacks on the NHS. UKIP hate our country hate it's beauty hate what it stands for bits sad really People from this country should be made to visit some of the countries I've worked in say India or Bangladesh.they would then appreciate what our country is the protections it offers the poor and like I do thank god every day I was born lucky in life born British. People like UKIP and it's supporters that constantly attack our tolerant county don't know they are born. We are all migrants. We come from a migrant nation. I like the Stewart Lee quote a protest vote us all well and good but voting for UKIP is like shitting in your own bed. It's your bed you've still got to sleep in it.
We are a nation of conformists, where anyone protesting anything is seen as an annoyance to the majority. It's really sad that's it's ended up like this.
What's the point in control over our borders when we can't control anything else. UKIP are a free market party. Even more so than we have seen over the last 30 years. And yet they want to rewind a key tenet of that ideology in the free movement of capital and labour. Too bizarre to be trusted. The issue is capitalism. Not people coming from abroad. It's time we grew up and left nations behind with the monarchy.
Tell me what UKIP would have done differently on the economy? Come on Mario, they are believers in the free market. What is shameful is the acceptance that the market knows best. Except when it fails.
Who should we vote for then? **** knows who Labour have ever won any elections if that is all they represent.
Re: its this simple Pinball.. they vote labour because oh aye and your so open minded that you would vote whichever party was doing the right things? yeah right your right wing so would vote right wing choose what, just same as the people you think your critisising, all you are is an hippocrit that thinks hes so good cos hes got people responding to a thread he,s started what a sad existence you lead. to223r
That's a very sad comment to make. Many many councillors out there, from all walks of life or political leaning, are doing their best for their local constituents. That's why they are local elections. If you aren't happy then understand who is running and meet the candidates and make an informed choice. Thousands of different seats but they are all branded "self absorbent snakes". I'm not having a go. Entitled to your own opinion. But it's like the other posters branding all UKIP "racist" or all conservatives "toffs". Good and bad in all. Use your vote wisely.
Maybe so. Perhaps unfair on some of the independent councillors who do want to make a difference however I only see it how I find it going on my local council(Ors) Barnsley town centre is dying a slow painful death yet the leader of the councils getting a knighthood.
Top and bottom, wether it's ukip, labour, tories or lib dems they are all a set of lying, filthy rich, arrogant obnoxious ****s!!! But unfortunately 1 of those 4 get a term to try there luck at running this country!! It certainly appears though that if you dare to share any view related to ukip then your a fool or a racist......so much for opinions then!!!
Agreed - well done UKIP, they helped Labour take another seat! BNP failed in Barnsley and so have UKIP!
naill head on the hit the (rearrange) - together with ditching the first past the post system - PR for me
