UKIP are the new future?

[LadyPessaryPam]

Just a small positive thread about UKIP that doesn't involve smears from other parties. I was very glad about Eastleigh and pleased that the voters had seen through the smokescreens and disinformation sent out by the 3 main parties.

I think they need a more credible logo. That £ sign gets on my wick

So you don't like our currency, interesting....

If I was planning a hugely successful pro-UKIP thread I'm not sure Mumsnet would be my first choice of platform! Good luck OP!

no

God I really hope not.

gawd 'elp us if they are

UKIP are sinister one trick ponies.

Bleurgh.

I wasn't planning anything, I am just calling it as I see it. I know I will probbaly be a minority of 1 but I am sticking my head above the parapet. It helps enormously that I don't really care about the opinions of the resident lefties.

So intelligent BIWI would you care to expand is some kind of coherent way?

she could but you probably wouldn;t care so why bother

hats off for a wonderfully well disguised goady thread though Pam

UKIP are a watered-down version of BNP, and both full of racist idiots with no understanding, or willingness to understand, a lot of issues.

And judging by your posts on the ''keep4kids'' thread, OP, you evidently have a think against disabled people, so you should fit right in.

Not goady, just topical.

So SirBoob please substantiate with facts.

So why the flying fuck am I disablist? Just asking like?

I thought that 'bleurgh' was intelligent enough for UKIP, actually.

I'll be interested to see how many of them stay with UKIP at the general election.
By-elections never prove anything.

Chortle. Hope you are right and they continue to rise and prosper. Will make the decision on who to vote for at the Scottish referendum soooo much easier. Right wing, intolerant, bigoted feckers.

UKIP is the party for ageing racists and homophobes. It's for those who think the Conservative Party has gone soft but can't quite bring themselves to admit to supporting the BNP. It conjures images of an England that never existed to curry favour with disenchanted voters. More tea, Vicar?

I would like some answers as to why people think UKIP are 'sinister', 'full of racists', etc. - even if it's opinion rather than fact.

I think they need to disassociate themselves from members who advocate compulsory euthanasia for the over 80s and putting disabled people in 'communities'/ghettos.

at BIWI.

Seeing as this is AIBU ...... YABU

frisson, good question. They are sheep.

Frisson - Farage and their 'manifesto' provides more than enough ammo for me on that front.

Here's one bit, for starters
