Some genuine UKIP news for a change.Ha,****ing Ha!

" I’m actually quite impressed. Ukip has managed to top the Labour party with this. It is astonishing.":smiles:

To be fair he was done for drink driving and that will get dragged out often so they are better off not starting with an easy target. Nuttal is not standing and Evans is still suspended so minus the drink driver it's just people left that are low profile as far as I can tell. Maybe Nigel will withdraw his resignation again.

That's like funny cos like it's supposed to be 1-1-1 for the American ambulance like but one of the 1's is a word not a number. So it's like funny.
And also because the thread is about UKIP who only like UK stuff - this is American stuff so it's like a very subtle **** you to UKIP too because the funny racoon dude is from America not the UK and so are the numbers even when one is made into a word. So.....on so many levels this copy and paste picture is awesome, so awesome.

9-1-1. You should get some sleep.

If I was still a member then I would see this as a blessing in disguise. Dianne James would have been my choice as Evans is suspended (unfairly IMO) and part of the reason I resigned my membership. Woolf carries some baggage and the others are unknown outside of their own areas so James would be the better candidate.

If there is any truth to the rumour that Farage might return then I will personally supply the hammer for the coffin nails.

*** should get used to the number 111. That's the amount of seats Labour will lose to UKIP next election.

I just had to Google James - looks familiar so I must have seen her on Question Time at some point. Evans for me always came across as someone quite palitable. I know she will always be associated with her quote about Londoners not voting UKIP because they are "educated, cultured and young" but I never found her a turn off in the way I do with Farage.

I wouldn't go as far as that, as there is no threat (real or otherwise) of UKIP splitting.
However it is a mess, and one that needs addressing if UKIP is to move forward.

If Farage did return it would be a backward step in my opinion, it's time for the party to move on and have a fresh leader.

That's certainly hinted at in the article.Who'd have thunk it? :smiles:

Mr McGough - who has resigned from the NEC - said Mr Woolfe's exclusion from the contest was "unfair" and called into the question the party's future.
Unless the party elected a "competent leader who was comfortable with the media, it was finished", he told World at One. "This is a fight for survival. It is life or death."

probably being alarmist but these terms are being used within the party.

The rules were perfectly clear, applications to be in by 12 noon. 17minutes past is too late, technical hitch or not. Tough as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, why leave it so late?

You know how it is with annoying forms. Now who was it who was late with a tax return :unsure:

Surely UKIP aren't relevant anymore? Discuss.

Six weeks after the EU Referendum the people of Beaver Ward (snigger) still consider them to be more relevant than Labour.

Yep - like it or not, UKIP are becoming the party for the disaffected working classes who feel that Labour have sold them down the river.

Well, 21.3% (total turnout) of the voting populace of Beaver Ward did.

Those Kent towns like Ashford (which is where Beaver is...) are where UKIP see their natural support. And compaired to recent results this is a bit of an anomoly.

If you are on Twitter and interested in such things then follow Britain Elects as you get all election results and therefore get a good feel for how parties are doing.

The pattern I've picked up is - Tories increasing their vote in Tory areas, Labour increasing their vote in Labour areas, Lib Dems increasing their vote everywhere (from a very low start point) and UKIP vote reducing nearly everywhere with an occasional good result to buck the trend.
