Every time a UKIP person speaks, they want to say rape within marriage is ok, Lenny Henry should go back to Black Land, bit too scared to stand in a by election just now...yet

PEOPLE ARE STILL DESPERATE TO VOTE FOR THEM.

What hope is there? Humanity is as truly doomed as ever.

In fact, they are basically the Monster Raving Loony Party with racism and homophobia.

A winning recipe.

And misogyny. Soz, misogyny, forgot you briefly.

Only thick racists are planning to vote for them

YouTheCat · 01/05/2014 22:25

They have many more 'isms' I'm sure.

I met a local UKIP card carrier today, nobber was shoving racist leaflets at people and chuntering on about The Blacks.

I felt sick. Other groups whipping up racist, xenophobic feelings and spouting hate are investigated by the police as a danger, these wazzocks are encouraged to run for ruddy government.

Honestly I've had to take myself off Facebook tonight after many people claiming they are voting for UKIP after subway changed to halal meat in a percentage of their stores as if the government had anything to do with it.

The ignorance makes me so so mad, and worried!!

iklboo · 01/05/2014 22:25

It's like the Life of Brian. Maybe Life of Nigel? 'What have UKIP ever done for us? Marital rape, homophobia, racism.....don't forget the misogyny'.

gamerchick · 01/05/2014 22:26

People DON'T want to vote for them.. they just want to feel as though they are being listened to. Cameron and co aren't listening and they make no secret of that.

What are people supposed to do when they are being shit on from a great height and they feel the government isn't listening?

Er, vote for a party that doesn't want to gas people?

Didn't he say Lenny Henry "didn't have to live with whites" ?
I'm ever so sure he would because most civilised societies these days are, rightly, interracial. What he should have said was that Lenny Henry could go and live in a more tolerant society rather than with us wankers (obviously the UKIP bloke should have said that, most UK citizens are not wankers)

"gas people" is of course a metaphor for generally do away with them in an unpleasant and genocidal manner

The main Parties will not/have not/do not listen. Therefore many many people will vote UKIP as a protest.

Where my son works nearly everyone is voting UKIP in desperation and protest.

gamerchick · 01/05/2014 22:27

I was having a conversation earlier about UKIP and how much I fear them getting a foot in the door but nobody gives a shit.. too many feathers have been ruffled and too many groups of people have been personally affected by our leaders.

UKIP - Utter Knobs In Parliament?

ThePriory · 01/05/2014 22:28

The tories are also racist and sexist but they just don't go on about it. Labour love poverty and war. The only thing Ukip have going for them is that they are not labour, tory or lib dem... There is no hope!!!

DrCoconut · 01/05/2014 22:29

My sted dad is by UKIP standards a "darkie" and my bother is mixed race. Guess who I'm not voting for?

But even positing UKIP as a realistic option is the mark of primitive fuckwitedness.

No one could loathe Shiny Dave et al more than me, but Barking Farrage isn't my alternative BECAUSE HE IS AN UTTER CUNT

thebodydoestricks · 01/05/2014 22:30

It's frightening. In the past people voted liberal/green to piss off the main parties but now it's serious.

BoulevardOfBrokenSleep · 01/05/2014 22:30

The UKIP threads make me think, "Oh, fine, fuck you all, you can get the government you deserve", and then i remember I have to live in this country too.
And so do my DC.
That makes it less fun. Hmm

StarGazeyPond · 01/05/2014 22:30

He may be an 'utter cunt' Hullygully - but people ARE going to vote for him.

FreudiansSlipper · 01/05/2014 22:30

I was hoping farage would stand for the by election in Newark which I believe tends to be a safe tory seat, it would have probably ended his career not surprised he did not take up the offer

did you see their political broadcast

what a surprise they had an older Asian man in it I could not help but laugh how predictable

but having watched the news this week it is worrying

StarlightMcKenzie · 01/05/2014 22:31

'Only thick racists are planning to vote for them'

Good. That will half the Tory votes then.

gamer - how do you think voting UKIP is going to change that??? For one thing these are european elections. So, ignoring the fact that UKIP are a bunch of racist, bigotted, mysoginistic idiots, why would we want a party that doesn't want to BE part of europe represent us there? I don't pretend to be intellectual or know very much about politics but even i can work that one out. Anyone who votes UKip in this election must have the iq of a kipper!

NoArmaniNoPunani · 01/05/2014 22:32

But do MEPs have much power anyway? Didn't we have a BNP MEP for a while and fuck all happened?
