Who re titled the thread? I know some UKIP supporters get miffed when the party's **** ups are highlighted but it is the responsibility of the party to make less **** ups. Maybe if Barna offered to pay them an allowance each time they won't complain - it does seem they will do anything to get funds in.

I did. All parties deserve to be taken to task for their ****-ups but this is just becoming, as per the new title, a list of Guardian links posted by Barna with minimal comment attached.

If people want to read the Guardian's views on UKIP, they can probably find their way there themselves.

why not add 'guardian' to the swearfilter? that will mess things up for Barna because the links won't work!

He'll still post them, regardless if they work or not. Best just add Barna to the swearfilter. Or Banra, given his penchant for a spelling error.

You might as well change every thread he posts in, all this Guardian bollocks with hardly any other comment is practically trolling.

Quite.

I am actually thinking of how we might want to approach the GE on here in order to keep this section of the forum as tidy and relevant as possible because there is plenty of good stuff in amid the bivkering and the Guardian linkage.

E.g. a separate thread for any upcoming by-elections, an overall thread for the GE itself and so on. Ideas welcome!

Sounds good to me. A complete ban on all links unless they are followed up with constructed comment and/or opinion. And when I say opinion, I mean something better than 'I happen to agree' Otherwise, it's just a cop out.

I think part of the issue is, both yourself and Barna immediately home in almost crusade like on anything that is remotely anti UKIP.

Whilst at the same time completely ignoring and failing to acknowledge that there is only a need for parties like UKIP, because of the failures of the two big political parties (particularly labour who now seem to be the conservatives in disguise) to offer genuine choice.

There is no doubt in my mind that UKIP need to do more in terms of how they are perceived.

However I would lay the same charge at Labour, who for my view have completely changed as a party beyond all recognition (its certainly not the party of Kinnock / Foot / Calaghan/ Wilson) and without the tired old NHS trump card that they continually play, I am completely bereft on ideas of who / what they actually represent.... other than of course dear old Barna blue who no longer lives in the country and is, by his own admission middle class by virtue of the fact he works, and owns his own property (not an attack on Barna though of course he thinks like a socialist but behaves like a conservative).

Surely if politics is about anything it should be about choice and alternative to what is in place?

If you want Illegal wars, stealth taxes, no democratic choice on the EU, apologies for immigration , unregulated banks, enforced multiculturalism, privatisation and dismantling of the NHS, huge economic deficit then sadly a vote for Miliband will probably give us this, they (Labour) are certainly struggling to convince voters otherwise.

So before Barna, AAS or whoever posts a link from the grauniad slating UKIP, consider posting something that gives a credible alternative from Labour that offers the electorate genuine choice on what we already have or have had under the last labour government who's mistakes, many of the party are still failing to come to terms with.

I'm glad Mike Read's seen sense.

His song was in very poor taste and had racist undertones, at the very least.

Any comments?

Since BNP have more or less disbanded UKIP are my no 1 dislike so I am going to critise them whenever I have the opportunity. They give lots of opportunities to criticise them, it's hard to resist.

I'd suggest we all go and buy Frankie's 'Relax' to fill the gap that losing Mike Read's ditty will leave.

Is that an admission then that Labour are unable to give a credible alternative?
