to love UKIP?

[Hullygully]

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.

[CaptChaos]

If you did truly love UKIP, YWBVU. However, as you have always seemed to be intelligent and capable of rational thought, I have to assume that this is a pune, or play on words, and you, in fact, hate UKIP as much as anyone with anything other than belly button fluff and dead flies between their ears does.

I would rather see the MRLP win a general election than UKIP win a single seat on a Parish council.

Hully - I am so pleased to see you back here again & I agree with everything you say - on this thread.

UKIP are the most worrying thing I have seen in UK poiltiics in my life. (nearly 59, so am old gimmer & know what I'm talking about).

[HavantGuard]

Agree completely.

Hullygully should replace Paxo.

If the leaflets are racist, then surely they can be reported to the police? Incitement to racial hatred is illegal, so something would have to be done?

You only have to read some of the threads on MN to realise how easy is it for UKIP to seduce voters. There are, sadly, many people who are too willing to believe what they say, and too stupid to think about what they are actually representing.

There was a thread recently where one poster kept saying 'show me a racist policy espoused by UKIP' (OK, she didn't use the word 'espouse'). Well, it's impossible to do that, because THE TWATS DON'T HAVE ANY PUBLISHED POLICIES, BEYOND LET'S GET OUT OF EUROPE. The only other policy that Nigel Farrage will admit to is wanting to return to the grammar school system.

Yet it's obvious from what people have said when he goes out canvassing that his whole basis for being is racist, sexist and homophobic.

Why can't people see that? I despair.

Sorry but I don't get the whole "vote UKIP as a protest" idea. They're borderline fascists FFS. Cameron is an idiot but even I (bleeding heart leftie) don't think he hates every minority group in the same way UKIP do.

Protest properly, not by voting for UKIP nutters!

[BoulevardOfBrokenSleep]

Although you have to admit UKIP have pulled an absolute blinder- a party of millionaires, funded by millionaires, with extreme right-wing policies that are only going to make the rich richer... and they've managed to convince people they're for the man in the street?!

They claim a load of dodgy MEP expenses while completely copping out of representing British interests in the European Parliament... but convince people they're the protest vote against dodgy MP expenses?!

Absolute fucking blinder. Amazing.

[MrsCosmopilite]

I have no faith in the main parties. I voted green last time. Not because I agreed with all that they said, but because they weren't any of the other bastards and they weren't anything phobic.

[Sidge]

They're just a middle class version of the BNP aren't they.

UKIP scare me. And I'm scared that people want to vote for them.

[Hullygully]

That's why I love them Boulevard. For the sheer mindbending terrifying horror of it all.

[gamerchick]

LEM I do not think voting UKIP will change anything.. I feel actual fear that twats will get a foot in the door. I even tried to email DC but it wouldn't work.. HE is the one that needs to sort out the masses but he doesn't give a fuck. I have a disabled kid.. I don't want UKIP anywhere near anything that looks like control.

[thebodydoestricks]

Hully couldn't agree more but the main parties do need to address what the fuck is going on here or we are in serious trouble.

Cameron is quite happy to see this as it takes votes from labour. Labour have spectacularly failed the working classes since John Smiths death IMO.

[BoulevardOfBrokenSleep]

Ah, BIWI, you read the same Farage interview I did , he said 'We don't have any policies except exiting Europe', and I thought [lightbulb] "That's why that poster kept saying you won't find a racist UKIP policy!"

This may be a sign of spending too much time on MN though.

[FreudiansSlipper]

UKIP and the BNP are not the same

UKIP are attracting different group of voters than the BNP did and probably many of their voters. I do not think everyone that votes for them is stupid, I strongly disagree with their views but it is the three main parties that have been foolish for not listen to the public by squabbling amongst themselves and along has come Farage with his I am your friend I will listen you and he has done

[BIWI]

Apologies for double posting. I fear I was a tad agitated.

[HavantGuard]

It's a bit like the Tea Party supporters calling Obama communist for wanting to extend access to healthcare to ... people like them. Turkeys voting for Christmas.

[AnyFucker]

Ah, Hully. You have been missed

[MollyHooper]

Farage reminds me of a dog I used to have (RIP Harry) not because my dog was a horrible dickhead but he had this look in his eyes like you could see right through to the back of his skull.

DH and I used to say his brain was actually a little piece of tin foil blowing about in his head.

Farage has that same look.

[Hullygully]

The main parties don't care.

Labour are just so desperate to get elected they won't say anything ever about anything in case a single voter doesn't like it.

What's happened to Michael Rosen's new party? I liked the cut of their jib.

[AlexReidsLonelyBraincell]

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

Totally agree, lib dems going all torified has created a massive voting vacuum which ukip are intent on filling.

[Handsup]

Boulevardofthesheep I totally agree. If Ukip got in I would love to laugh and point at the gormless closet racists reaping what they sowed but unfortunately I would first need to emigrate which I cannot afford.

[Hullygully]

Thank you AF, it's nice to shoot the breeze again.

[AlexReidsLonelyBraincell]

Stare too long at that picture and you start to see a little forked tongue flicking out from between those lips.
