to wonder if UKIP is doing some kind od stealth campaign via mumsnet?

[goshhhhhh]

Sorry this is a thread about threads...just seems to me there is something weird going on.....

@ go back to your constituencies and prepare your breakfast

I agree Ed Milliband is just not credible.

My parents are long standing labour voters (mum flirted with the lib dens because she rather liked paddy ashdown) but they do not know who to vote for.

Our politicians are failing us.

Sorry squoosh I have to correct you there

the warm beer was real. Revolting stuff

But what discussion re a way forward has there been from any party?

I've always though it sounded vile but some people whimper for it as if it were their mother's own milk.

Huzzah for ice!

"Old maids cycling to evensong.."

Didn't john major make a speech along those lines? Am trying to write dissertation so will waste more time trying to find speech.

"A country of long shadows on county cricket grounds, warm beer, green suburbs, dog lovers, and old maids cycling to holy communion through the morning mist."

Here we are ...Tory utopia

I'm sure the papers are digging furiously for any skeletons in Farage's closet. Hard to imagine he doesn't have any.

Don't you think they've already tried that?

That's the group think that got UKIP there in the first place.

Smear smear and smear again.

It's only going to bolster his popularity.

That one Bog? Brixton hasn't half changed

Ah X post.

I expect some public-spirited leftish femme fatale will seduce him for the greater good caruthers. I'd do it myself if I wasn't so busy

Those poor old maids cycling to communion.

A Saga cruise with some jolly widowers would be a much better idea.

Indeed. Better vote for UKIP.

Although frankly I'd take Brixton- born john major over any of this current shower irrespective of their political leanings.

Brixton hasn't half changed

I meant in the sense that John Major grew up in Brixton. I doubt it was ever a halcyon landscape of cricket grounds and old maids on bicycles.

She's have to do it in a pub with a fag hanging out of her mouth :)

Oh yes, totally Fideline. This is a utopia which perhaps existed fir a few years in a few English counties post- war.

Not in Brixton. In the 1950s we were inviting people over from the West Indies to come and work in our new welfare state.

That said, my family are from Peckham Rye and my grandmother remembers a canal and flowers, parks and a lovely Georgian terrace with a big back garden. Her father was a bus driver. Those house are probably worth in excess if £1M today. Times have certainly changed in South London.

I feel a bit queasy at the thought of seducing Nige. I always imagine his sexual tastes might be similar to Max Mosley's.

Always!? How much thought have you been devoting to the subject Squoosh?

Ummmmm, not TOO much. Honest!

He may also like to dress up as Jennings and get a slippering.

I am now shutting down the part of my brain that pictures Nige in sexual scenarios.

You might want to give it a good scrub first.

UKIP's all about suburban hot tubs, vol au vents, swinging and plastic sheeting over the sofa.

I like a vol au vent - does this mean I have to start voting UKIP?!

Yes, a fondness for vol au vents is one of the easiest indicators of latent UKIPetry.

Actually squoosh it might as well be you who does the seduction, having already gone so far

Bog That's some pretty hardcore dissertation-avoidance youa re engaged in there
