The Trevor Phillips programme gives a credible and simple explanation for the rise of UKIP and it's attraction to many voters. TP blames Blair & himself, in part, for UKIP's growth; he also points out that it attracts many and varied persons.
It appears to attract crooks and fraudsters to - however that applies to most parties.

It's amazing how people say that when they run out of good arguments. After all, the same can be said of you, and your stance. You are so blinkered against immigrants you refuse to accept that maybe they, on the whole, are actually not the issue you want them to be.

And perhaps they are. The reason opinions are like arseholes. Everyone's got one.

Are you implying that all immigrants are arseholes or just people whose opinions you disagree with (or indeed both) ? :winking:

"Repatriate" your invoice,Madam? Certainly.

"3,150, is that all right? Yeah, if you're all right with that? Is that enough for you?" :pig:

Obviously David Laws conning 40 grand out of us tax payers [us meaning us not you] must have slipped your mind. Don't recall his party doing anything about it either. There's morals and then there's morals eh?

Oh, and don't forget the five Labour MP's who went to jail for expense fraud. And our very own Lord Hanningfield.

Actually,I think you'll find "Tory" boy Laws was suspended by Parliament.

You're really going to have to do much,much better than this when the official election campaign opens next week.:smiles:

I think you will find that people have longer and less blinkered memories than you come the election.

I think you will find that people have longer and less blinkered memories than you come the election.

And I think you'll find that UKIP's current 15% of the vote in the polls will evaporate,the nearer it comes to election day.

I wasn't implying anything. I was stating that opinions are like arseholes, in that everyone's got one.

Sorry, use better bait next time ;)

Latest Ashcroft poll has UKIP on 12%, down from a pre-Christmas high of 19%.

Some commentaors have suggested they might be down to their core support ie 9/10% by polling day.

I think the loutish act against NF and his family on Sunday will be an own goal in many people's mind; & it is no real surprise that the establishment status quo supporting press have given it minimal coverage and the fuzz less than any action.

Agree, I will now definitely be voting for ukip this May

Yes, I'm in the process of trying to obtain his address so I can organize a 'diversity party' outside his house. All invited, especially those who fancy doing a tango on his car, scaring the ***** out of his wife and kids etc, etc. Fancy dress opional but I would suggest Nazi uniforms as he seems to see them everywhere anyway.

That was really poor form. Loutish behaviour and like him or loathe him, Farage didnt deserve that.

 

[Pubey]

That was really poor form. Loutish behaviour and like him or loathe him, Farage didnt deserve that.

The reports are actually quite hazy about what exactly happened.

Personally if he wants to shame breastfeeding mothers and tell them when and where they should eat and feed, then he can put up with an angry protest when he goes out for a meal himself.

His kids shouldn't be dragged into it however.

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

It was poor form. The group involved are not aligned to a recognised pressure group as far as I can tell, one that has sprung up from nowhere and haven't thought their methods through very well. For the record though all the party leaders have been targets of protests and had eggs thrown at them (Prescott dealt with one of his very swiftly) and didn't Private Eye employ someone in a costume to follow a Labour MP around for weeks?
His report that his kids ran off scarred conflicts with other reports that they left quietly with the nanny so it may be that NF is milking this a little. And it has been covered by mainstream press - I saw it on the 10 o'clock news and have read two reasonable sized pieces in newspapers today.
It could be argued that his policies and the atmosphere he creates impacts on other people's private lives and that as he conducts most of his press appearances in pubs that he has invited the crossover into his private life - but weighing it up his private life should be just that and the protest was made by amateurs and was ill judged.
Surely no one will vote for UKIP because of this though - I refuse to believe that would come from people who weren't already intending to vote UKIP - no one is that easily led.

Very wrong and it was the ****ing hotel who asked the woman to cover up, not Farage. He was asked to comment on the matter and gave a truthful answer which was leaped on by the other gutless ******s who couldn't give a straight answer if their lives depended on it. And he has every right to sit down to a meal with his family without a bunch of tossers invading the place, scaring his family [would you be so casual about it if it was your wife and kids] and then jumping in front of and banging on his car. Is this how its going to be now, open season on a man and his family at Sunday lunch?
