To laugh at the UKIP party political broadcast

[FreudiansSlipper]

just switched on the news to be confronted by a London cab driver (stating that he does not want foreigners human rights put above those of this country) and token Asian man (business man wanting more support for business not our tax going to Brussels)

could it have been more predictable

on a serious note Nigel Farage should not be written off

[HousewifeFromHeaven]

There was a link to a questionnaire on here a while back and it told you which party you 'were'.

Quite a few ended up ukip, much to their surprise. not me -oh -no

[HousewifeFromHeaven]

Fail. Not me. Errm.

why don't you tell everyone what you really want with your marxist ideals

all of us equal, the only way that will ever happen is if we are all reduced to the lowest denominator, meaning that we will all live in adjective poverty.

tell everyone how you would like us all to earn an equal minimum wage and be good citizens and keep our mouths shut, after all, our opinions don't matter. after all, you will be ok with your teachers salary of 35,000 to teach primary school children while the rest of us are forced to pay in to the trade union that will keep your socialist paymasters in power.

[YouTheCat]

I've never been in 'adjective poverty' before.

[infamouspoo]

they appear to be disablist wankers. Why would anyone vote for them when they could be disabled tomorrow. Or their children?

[WinkyWinkola]

I don't believe one has to be a socialist or even a Marxist to think UKIP are scary loons.

[TondelayoSchwarzkopf]

"adjective poverty"

Brilliant.

[Takingbackmonday]

I'm actually standing for them in local elections; hoping to take out the Tory incumbent.

I can assure you I am neither racist nor homophobic. I don't oppose immigration only uncontrolled open door immigration. A points system would be preferable and I find it strange that no one mentions that other countries (often non-white), even commonwealth countries, are essentially discriminated against in favour of (mostly white) European countries. Funny the Grauny isn't up in arms.

One of their policies is the reintroduction of enrolled nurses which I think is a good idea.

[Reasonrules]

Think rationally on this, projections for the increase in United Kingdom population predict that by 2080 the U.K. population will reach 180 million.

Imagine the implications for all aspects of public policy, environment etc.

[Reasonrules]

Correction.

The projected increase in population by 2080 is 120 million, not 180 million.

[PeneloPeePitstop]

Taking do you support the general election manifesto policy that disabled people should be made to live in congregate communities too?

[lljkk]

Where did you get Those Numbers from!?

ONS suggests population of 61.4 million in 2080.

[SaskiaRembrandtVampireHunter]

"Taking do you support the general election manifesto policy that disabled people should be made to live in congregate communities too?"

They seriously propose this? If so, it's very, very sinister.

[lljkk]

Problem is people think UKIP is just about immigration. If only.

What UKIP policy documents say, forget about individual member opinions, their official group line is:

*Abolish statuatory maternity leave; abolish legislation that prohibits discrimination of women of child bearing age in the workplace;

• Scrap employer obligations to provide a pension scheme;
  
  
• Flat tax rate of 31% with NI starting at £11.5k; no higher tax bands;
  
  
• no unfair dismissals or discrimination claims would be admitted by the Tribunals in respect of employees with less than two years' continuous employment;
  
  
• No central agency to inspect food hygiene for small businesses, instead "UKIP would be happy for smaller outlets to self-regulate: for example, owner-managed cafes and restaurants could adopt their own ?hallmark?, and pool the costs of inspection and insurance."
  
  
• Climate change is a disproven theory;
  
  
• Nuclear, Shale gas and coal are way forward in energy policy, Opposition to fracking is scare-mongering;
  
  
• Safe disposal of waste from nuclear energy is no more than a technical problem;
  
  
• Build more prisons, impose more severe penalties for crime, give police officers more discretion (?forget about the IPCC?);
  
  
• Opposition to gay marriage, even for churches that want to bless same-sex unions;
  
  *Reintroduction of grammar school system;
  
  *Drastic cut in number of Uni places; return to full Uni grants for UK school leavers who actually get places;
  
  *Lift the ban on hunting with hounds.
  
  Make sure you know what you're voting for! They are worse than merely xenophobic.

[Reasonrules]

Actually if you move the pointer at the bottom of the ONS survey they are saying the projected increase in population by 2080 will be 83 million with a balanced migration policy.

I have seen other surveys saying the population will be 120 million.

However even at 83 million that is 23 million more than the present 60 million.

Again I ask you to think rationall about how this will effect our future children?

[lljkk]

If UKIP got in power I think there'd be a mass emigration of most sane people, anyway.

[infamouspoo]

I think most of the people planning to vote UKIP have no idea how barmy they are

[Reasonrules]

Since when have insults been a sign of intelligence?

[infamouspoo]

Since when has voting for a party on a single issue 'them furriners are coming here and stealing our jerbs' been a sign of intelligence?

[Reasonrules]

I have not mentioned immigration.

I am saying that given the fact that there is going to be increases of millions in the population there has to be thought given to how public policy is going to deal with these issues whoever is in power in relation to planning ahead for

Housing and provision of social housing.

Planning permission and extensions into the green belt.

transport and provision of roads.

Health and provision of Hospitals etc.

Employment.

Education and provision of Schools.

Disposal of rubbish and sewerage facilities.

Provision of water and energy supplies.

Other aspects of public policy.

However unpalatable these issues are if they are not discussed and preparations made with the proper funding then we will have failed our future children.

[jollygoose]

well I plan to vote ukip. Surely when my kids cannot get into the school I want them to go to as we are awash with immigrant children I have a right to wish that someone would stick up for the people of this country who have paid tax/ni for generations. It most certainly is not personal kids are kids and I have no negative feelings towards immigrants am just sick of them jumping housing queues, taking full advantage of nhs etc etc.

Well, indeed. There wouldn't be a coffee shop able to stay open in Islington.
