Ukip - why are they gaining support?

[butchersapron]

Because they put up funding for the venues, allegedly. He who pays the piper... etc.

But they don't. They do not determine booking policy at the venues they part fund.

Nothing about teeth and beer bellies, nothing.

But is the wider analysis correct?, if it is, its important, the left is seen as a joke by most working class people, how can this change?

Maybe a big effort to change the sense of humour of the working class would do the trick.

Telegraph:

Nigel Farage 'employs both his wife and mistress at public expense'

 

[Quartz]

A man who can keep two women satisfied? I thought they were trying to smear him?

 

[DotCommunist]

they are probably sleeping with polish men behind his back

Actually, the report is:

The claim was made by Nikki Sinclaire, a former Ukip MEP, now standing as an independent, during a debate in the EU assembly on Wednesday.

"With unemployment still a problem across Europe and indeed the UK, does Mr Farage thinks it is a fair use of taxpayers' money, namely his secretarial allowance, not only to employ his wife Kirsten but his former mistress Annabelle Fuller?," she said.

My bold.

 

[butchersapron]

And the bold is something denied by all involved. Whole lot of sexism around about Fuller and her role in UKIP and right politics generally for the last 10 years. And a whole lot of dust surrounding the accuser.

Indeedy.

Sure we'll going to have a lot more between now and 2015 with whatever the papers have been stockpiling!

Baffling.

 

[Obnoxiousness]

Nigel has a Farage à trois.

How continental of him?

 

[TrickyDicky]

You can see when a party is gaining support against the Establishment Newlabour/Liberal/Tory party,the leader gets attacked not on policies but on his private life. Hence the implied 'sexual behavior'attacks on Farage by Rothermere's Mail which controls the way DUMBO middle class minds 'think' and Murdoch's Sun which controls the way DUMBO working class minds 'think'.

 

[laptop]

^^^ This'll go well...


Meanwhile, the Times makes more of the fact that Farange's accuser is on bail awaiting trial on fraud charges. The Telegraph underplayed its earlier coverage and didn't mention her transgender discrimination claim...

 

[Pickman's model]

in answer to the op, ukip are gaining support because no one's actually seen them do anything. for example, they've not been in charge of a council. and no one knows or much cares what meps do. yes, ukip are a bunch of barking loons. and every week one or two of them are unmasked. but they haven't had their hands on the levers of power enough to show them to be exactly like any other snouts-in-the-trough party.

So, which DUMBO class stratum do you hail from then...?

I love the way Kippers all think they're some kind of anti-establishment warriors.

EITHER ruling OR under, at a rough guess

 

[Awesome Wells]

Baffling!

 

[gosub]

Baffling!

Looks like old school UKIP democratic accountability and sovereignty riffing on an Independence day theme, not modern UKIP where immigration is a bigger concern than the EU rather than a sub set of the EU issue, and very little fuck is given about genuine issues caused by mass immigration- loss of affordable housing and the UK's 1 million unemployed youth endebted and unskilled to be able to compete in the jobs market .

 

[fishfinger]

Baffling!

Fantastic!

I love how he says "the yoo kay eye pee" as it it were some weird copyright phenomena.

 

[butchersapron]

That's from 2006 and clearly just an amatuer local branch job. Don't think you'll be seeing anything like that again - certainly not before may. This was the going nowhere party that you joined wasn't it gosub? Rather than the doing well one they have now?
