to wish I could vote ukip loud and proud

I've nc for this, as I generally have to in life.

I'm voting ukip, I live in Peterborough where we have had massive immigration. The affects have been huge. Enlargement of EU distroyed dh building business overnight. The schools are close to bursting and have to do a school run to two different schools, had a 5 hour wait in a and e. Teenage son struggles to get part time farm work like I did when I was a teenager. House prices are out of control, god knows how any of mine will ever leave home.

I'm not saying all of these are 100% to do with uncontrolled immigration, but it has Made the problems so much worse.

I'm not racist, most of my friends are 2nd gen Asians or homophobic, my brother and his husband visit a lot.

I just want an oz type points immigration system. I don't care that lots are highly skilled, that is often very bad as it leads to a brain drain in other countries and my children will have to compete with the worlds most ambitious and motivated people.

I just want to be able to express these thoughts but I'm shamed into hiding them by the media.

How pathetic to compare the terrible and horrific tragedy of the jews during the war to what is, at the end of the day, a political competition.
Pathetic and slighly insulting to Jewish people

thank you Flowers

I am voting for UKIP. I don't think that anybody should be verbally abused for having a different opinion! Puzzled as to why people have to be so offensive to Op.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 24/04/2015 22:35

You're welcome. No need to thank me.

No one voted for Hitler because he was going to gas 6 million people - it starts with feeding general bigotry and blaming ethnic groups and immigrants ...the rest follows later

Goldylookingpane · 24/04/2015 22:36

landrover, You are brave! Do you realize what a vipers nest you have entered Grin

Lweji · 24/04/2015 22:36

I suppose I have my answer.

Goldylookingpane · 24/04/2015 22:36

Milliband looks a bit like Hitler

samsam123 · 24/04/2015 22:37

VOTING UKIP

GiddyOnZackHunt · 24/04/2015 22:37
Hmm
ilovesooty · 24/04/2015 22:38

Well that story about your parents is very enlightening Goldy
Thank you for sharing. Hmm

Goldylookingpane · 24/04/2015 22:38

I feel sorry for the German nation. People in this country (labour supporters in particular, such as ghosty) refuse to let them forget the past and are always bringing up Hitler and the War.
Why?
You can't blame the people now for what their ancestors did.
It's just wrong.

Goldylookingpane · 24/04/2015 22:39

Meant to refernce Ghosty's anti Germany post

GiddyOnZackHunt · 24/04/2015 22:40

Goady.

Goldylookingpane · 24/04/2015 22:41

Who's Goady?
What did he say?

Lweji · 24/04/2015 22:42

How pathetic to compare the terrible and horrific tragedy of the jews during the war to what is, at the end of the day, a political competition.

Actually, the jews, the gypsies, gay people...
The vulnerable, the minorities, the outsiders...
Not comparable at all. No way. How dare anyone make that comparison?

^^ This. I posted something similar a couple of days ago. I wholeheartedly believe that there already exists people living in the UK who would happily report someone to the authorities knowing they'd be sent to a certain death, through some misguided belief that it's for the benefit of their country. Scary really.

cruikshank · 24/04/2015 22:43

Goldylookingpane, are you actually getting anything out of your continued presence on this thread? Because I sure as fuck am not.

What's your point? That your parents are bigots? Well, great. And ...?

ghostyslovesheep · 24/04/2015 22:44

I love Germany - lived there for a long time in my 20's

I dislike fascism bigotry and intolerance - as do most right minded people be they English, German or any other nationality

Ed Milliband is Jewish - his Grandfather died in a camp - comparing him to Hitler is very distasteful - well done

GiddyOnZackHunt · 24/04/2015 22:45

And the comment about 'Miliband' in the context of this page is very offensive.

parsnipbob · 24/04/2015 22:45

Thanks for that post about your parents Goldy. Think I understand you now.

ilovesooty · 24/04/2015 22:46

Deliberately distasteful in all probability ghosty

SagaNorensLeatherTrousers · 24/04/2015 22:46

chica that is a horrible thought.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 24/04/2015 22:46

Offensive and very revealing.
