Ukip - why are they gaining support?

[Poot]

To be fair I'm not sure any of the major three parties meet too many normal folk, unless it's on a pre-arranged visit. Whenever I see these folks out about about all that's missing to make it a parody of a Kim Jong-un photo op is the party members carrying note books.

The one thing I do give him over the other lot is he's actually had a real job.

The "real job" thing may be a fair point, but the complete lack of any kind of self-awareness is another thing entirely. It's actually a bit scary. I mean, even more scary than the others.

It may be a 'real job' - but it's also one of the ones based on the principles that just wholly fucked the economy.

I didn't say it was a good job, just a real one.

What defines a "real job"?

Yes, actually.

it's ok everyone, Alex Wood wasn't making a nazi salute,

Just an update on this: the Mirror has apologised.

We now accept that these allegations were wrong and there is no reason to believe that Mr Wood is a racist or a Nazi. The photograph, one of a series of photographs appearing on his Facebook page, was taken out of context. Mr Wood was reaching out to stop a friend taking a photo on a mobile phone. The comments on Facebook purportedly made by Mr Wood were not made by him and the police have confirmed that they were not made by Mr Wood.

UKIP are down to 7% in the latest IPSOS

 

[butchersapron]

ICM have them on 12% and Survation on 16%. That must be unprecedented in a non-pre-election period.

 

[butchersapron]

And the IPSOS figure is 8% really.
