Russell Brand wins well-deserved Foot in Mouth award

[claig]

"Yesterday the comedian and self-styled revolutionary was honoured with an award – for speaking gobbledygook.

He won the annual Foot in Mouth prize from the Plain English campiagn, joining the likes of John Prescott and George W Bush."
...

"The group’s website said that Brand’s ‘seemingly endless stream of gibberish, both written and verbal’ had clinched the award."
...
"Organisers said Brand – who has carved a career out of using many, often inflammatory, words when one would do – was ‘out on his own’ in the competition."

Surely that can't be right? He must have faced stiff competition from the Labour front bench

"The Plain English judges singled out this rant from The Guardian: ‘I felt very connected to activism – particularly activism that feels loaded with potential. Not the oppositional activism that seems like there’s a stasis around it – earnestly sincere, but a monolith.’

How they managed to single this rant out from the rest of the rants in the Guardian beats me. But they are professionals. To me it just seems like New Labour speak without the polar bears.

RedToothBrush, you are right. The man is an idiot. They should get rid of him.
But I don't think he is representative of UKIP.

They should. However they have come out and defending him, by using excuses.

It speaks volumes in itself that they haven't got a bullshit filter at HQ.

Andrew Neil asked Patrick O'flyyn on the Sunday Politics

"Are you a political party or a Whitehall farce?"

They may just be an elaborate Establishment joke, mocking the good people in the People's Army who have had enough of the metropolitan elite. But we are the People's Army, we will carry on and kick all the idiots and stooges out in the end. We'll get there. No one said it would be easy. We're up against the Establishment, all of their parties, the EU and ... Russell Brand.

The Establishment are laughing now, but there is an old People's Army saying, told around campfires, in pubs and hostelries to keep the people's spirits up - "he who laughs last laughs loudest". We're down, but we're not out.

Claig .. I have been warning you that UKIP needed sitting Conservatives to defect before you win Westminster seats, and the UKIP current 'star' of Basildon confirms it.

BTW UKIP clearly laughs like a 'lunatic', and it is CONFIRMED BY UKIP, the UKIP 'freakshow' as Ms Farage called it, is FULL OF THEM.

”David Soutter told Ukip activists he was not able to spend enough time finding good new candidates – because he was too busy getting rid of people ‘who shouldn’t be there’.”

”The remarks come after one Ukip candidate was recorded making homophobic, racist and obscene comments - while another was exposed as a fantasist after becoming embroiled in a public sex scandal.”

”Mr Soutter had even resorted to ‘doing tests to make sure people were vaguely sane and that they could string their words together more or less’, Ukip's Scottish MEP David Coburn said.”

Nigel Farage was in another race row last night after asking supporters to rate ‘blacks, Muslims and Eastern Europeans’ in a game – with prizes of cash and a Ukip golf umbrella.

Claig ... I be you wish for the day when those wet wipes you want to sent to Westminster to make our laws, were just 'fruit cakes', before progressing to 'lunatics'?

Back when UKIP represented what you call 'the people', but your rising stars call 'peasants'.

“Ukip candidate jokes about 'shooting peasants' in racist and homophobic rant”

”The man picked to fight a key Ukip target seat at the next election has been recorded making a homophobic and racist rant in which he jokes about shooting peasants.”

”Kerry Smith, who has high hopes to win the seat of Basildon South in Essex, mocked gay people as “disgusting pooftahs”, referred to a woman with a Chinese name as a “chinky bird” and joked about the residents of Chigwell shooting “peasants” in a “hunt”.

”In the rant he described the fact that Ukip’s LGBTQ was allowed to use the party’s logo with a rainbow flag as “f*ing disgusting”

I know the L= lesbian, G= gay, B= bisexual and T = transgenda, but what does the Q=?????

He is inundated with defecting Tories.

Breaking news:

Kerry Smith has resigned as the UKIP candidate for South Basildon.

Rightly so. I hope Ian Luder gets the role. He seemed to be the best candidate all along.

"Following his resignation on Sunday, Mr Smith said in a statement: "I want the best for South Basildon and Thurrock and I want to see the real issues discussed that touch the lives of people.

"Therefore I have chosen to resign so that UKIP can win this seat next May."

In the UKIP asylum, 'best' is relative.

Maybe it was the "Q" that did for him....too bad bad the "peasants" don't take the rabid, racist, homophobic tosser UKIP knew they had for years out, and put him down.

Only hundreds more candidates to 'out' before the General Election.

UKIP spin-meisters previously blaming his meds was new ..... usually when there are tapes and videos .....'they didn't mean it guvnor'.

Quite why morphine makes you a racist homophobic bottom wipe, beats the shit outta me.

I appear to have inadvertantly wandered into an asylum.......
