Ukip - why are they gaining support?

People are rightly pissed off with a cozy professional class of politicians.
The alternatives are green Hippy's or ukip daily mail readers "the left" don't even rate SWP if they stood would be eaten alive the rape allegations make Gary glitters fan club more electable

Er, no they don't, Glitters crimes are on another level, though not diminishing their failures.
 
The channel 4 '100 days of UKIP' thing was a bit shit, but the reaction of the UKIP twats on Twitter is good value.

(Note that 'UKIP twats on Twitter' - the sort that go on about the BBC being a 'nest of commies' is just a small subset of UKIP supporters before I get called out for slagging off all UKIP voters/supporters)
 
Kippers just got a huge dose of their own politics of fear tonight and they are going mental about it on Social Media. Love it even thought the programme was rather odd
 
Am I missing something? a twitter search of #ukip and #ukip100days seems quite subdued for what has to be one of the most trolltastic pieces of mainstream broadcasting ever, (at least I assume so, only read the damning Telegraph review)

It was absolutely dreadful, it could have been made by a sixth former in the SWP, they gave a lot of prominence to their placards, etc.

I'm watching it now on 4oD, in between massive bouts of slightly racist/sexist adverts. It's nearly done, and I've found it a bit bizarre to be honest. Obviously it's totally and utterly fantastical, so I'm not sure anyone will take it seriously. Key messages seem to be:

1) Don't vote UKIP because big business will take away all the jobs to punish you.

2) Don't vote UKIP because they'll put a brown woman in charge.
Who will eventually betray you.

3) Don't vote UKIP because they will
carry out Gestapo style dawn raids on thousands of innocent people.
Funnily enough this was the bit I found most fantastical in a way.

Thoughts?

I wonder if Oona King, Ch4's equal opportunities tsar had a hand in it,

btw, apparently there have been over 1000 complaints to OffCom and Ch4, wonder how many were because it was rubbish?

main actress was ok though
 
The highlight of the programme for me was when the 'angry' Eurobus workers met their MP.

Being working class and working in a manual trade they could only communicate by inserting the word 'fucking' after every other word or by lobbing bricks through windows (maybe the writer is a member of Class War?)

Also interesting was the suggestion that the only issues of interest to the entire media/political bubble are illegal immigration and TU/UAF and EDL marches attended by about 12 people per side.
 
Mrs Yeo has previously attacked the "awful" culture inside her trade union and said she has witnessed "outrageous" behaviour behind closed doors.

She recounted how male colleagues deliberately organised a lap-dancing party to clash with a black-tie dinner that had been arranged by female union officials to celebrate 100 years of International Women’s Day.

Big defection, but she is joining UKIP, which has people like Godfrey Bloom in it.

Mrs Yeo was previously chairman of the National Executive Committee, which oversees the Labour Party, and president of the Transport and Salaried Staffs' Association union and has been involved in the trade union movement for more than 20 years.

Go on, people... what party was she in 20 years ago? (Or what "we're not a party, we're a tendency within the Labour Party, honest!"?)

Only the incredibly politically ignorant weren't going to expect that their vote, like the rest of the minor parties, wouldn't be squeezed a bit as the election got closer. The question is how great that squeeze will be, IMO I think they'll still take a greater share of the vote than will put them in third place.

If UKIP's leadership wasn't full of classist private school boys then they would be smart and follow the FN's strategy of actively recruiting disenchanted trade unionists.
