To wonder why DH's friend thinks I voted UKIP?

Ok, this is not my first AIBU but I got burnt the first time so have steered clear. But I'm really pissed off at this and wondering why the hell someone who has known me for over 10 years thinks I would ever vote UKIP?
I mean, wtf? I've voted Labour my whole voting life, so what has he picked up on that I'm giving off that I'm not aware of?
I'm so offended.

YANBU to wonder why someone assumed you voted UKIP.

YABU to ask us why your friend thinks this, how do we know? Have you tried asking them?

Happybodybunny12 · 15/05/2015 00:17

Maybe he just thinks you pick losers? Grin

Did you ask him?

I presume you can after a 10-year friendship??

Nothing like a good conversation to clear the air... Smile

Do you wear a lot of purple?

I wanted to paint my front door purple but was worried people would think I was a UKIPper.

Happybodybunny12 · 15/05/2015 00:25

Could it be that Nigel Farrage calendar?

Happybodybunny12 · 15/05/2015 00:26

King it's just a kipper now. Apparently! That's right isn't it op? Grin

pollypocket123 · 15/05/2015 00:26

Ask!

KingJoffreyFanciesDarylDixon · 15/05/2015 00:29

A kipper?

Excellent!

What are the other parties nicknames? I know Tories, what else?

Why exactly are you asking us?

I haven't asked him, DH went for a beer with him tonight and told me when he home. He thought it was hilarious but put him straight.
I do quite like purple actually. But it's not my favourite colour.

I don't know other parties.

Labour maybe 'he's not heavy he's my brother' Wink

Lib/dem, 'tears of a clown' ??

CupidStuntSurvivor · 15/05/2015 00:36

Do you refer to Nigel Farage as 'our Nige'?

Happybodybunny12 · 15/05/2015 00:38

Song Themes obviously. Grin

Op are you sure you Aren't a deflecting closet Tory but smell a bit kipperish? Smile

Worra, because DH is asleep so I can't ask him about the conversation and it's been playing on my mind. It's the opposite of the values I believe in and I'm wondering what he has seen in me/heard me say to think that. He's DH's friend and known him forever so obviously closer to him than me, but I thought he knew me better than he seems to.

He's probably on a wind up OP

See if you can get your hands on some UKIP leaflets and deliver them personally to his house Grin

Wear a rosette for extra effect.

It was that night when you drank an entire jug of margherita and three beers, then decided to tell the Eastern European people at the next table how glad you were that they'd decided to move here before the borders were closed to scrounging foreigners and decent English people could get their jobs back. Luckily, they couldn't understand your slurred speech and you seemed quite affectionate so there was no trouble.

Casual approach to racism?

Swastika tattoo on forehead?

Because that'd do it.
