Ukip - why are they gaining support?

[gosub]

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?

Nope, HAVE STILL NEVER JOIN UKIP, worked with Referendum party and advocated (and forgot) voting for them once after the consitution without referendum debacle.

Sorry, my mistake, keep confusing you with goneforlunch.

New poll has Ukip leading EU Parliament vote. Ukip on 30%, Labour just behind on 28%.

I doubt UKip even want power. If they take us out of the EU it will be a disaster. It's far easy for them to sit in their cosy gentlemans' clubs and whine about the world while profiting from it.

 

[Quartz]

I think being in EFTA rather than the EU, as UKIP want, will make little difference economically; politically is a wholly different matter. For instance, England would not be able to block an independent Scotland's entry to the EU.

Another Kipper in the shit.

 

[Awesome Wells]

They are ridicularious.

 

[butchersapron]

Fabulous i was right to be wrong piece from Rentol.

Why when i said UKIP are on the verge of extinction i should really have said that they would top the euro polls.

And he's still at it in that piece, claiming the tories are sitting pretty for the general election.

The Guardian decide to waffle on about UKIP in places such as Great Yarmouth and Skegness. I don't think there are any surprises here but I suppose it touches on a few relevant issues and sheepishly acknowledges that this is another part of the country often ignored in journalists pictures. Lays the bleak flatness and isolation on a bit thick though, groan, oh well it gave the northern cliche's a rest for once by having eastern ones take charge instead. And then looks at some of the local UKIP characters, splits and controversies, in the typical style.

I read that -- I thought John Harris did some quite good research there as it goes. I'm a bit less negative than elbows about it.

 

[elbows]

I didn't mean to sound that negative, in that I thought it was worth posting about at least.

Martin Durkin - ex RCP and producer of silly documentaries that get censured for being full of lies. And Margaret: Death of a Revolutionary.

Anyone seen a worse anti-ukip poster?

Why does the trolley have 6 Hitlers?

The prophecy.

 

[nino_savatte]

Channel 4 actually cut its flagship news programme by 30 mins to accommodate Durkin's Max Factor job on Falange.

hitler clones.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Anyone seen a worse anti-ukip poster?

So, the question is:

"Which two Hitlers voted for Farrago?"

 

[Idris2002]

The prophecy.

"You are the fabled. . . Sixth Hitler?"

I won't be giving either cunt the oxygen of publicity tonight. Ideally I'd deprive both of actual oxygen, too.

 

[taffboy gwyrdd]

I done a peotry about the UKIPs. In a sophisticated parallel to real life you may not think it's all that good.

<flippant>In answer to the original thread title: Nick Clegg. That's why UKIP are gaining support: Nick Clegg.</flippant>

Dear g-d that is fucking terrible. Whoever thought up this poster needs a slap.

There is a story in the local paper where an alleged rape victim cannot bring her case to court because the cops lost the video evidence. They have paid her £7.5k compensation which, according to the story, is payable because of ECHR legislation.

How would UKIP have protected her rights. I think we all know the answer given they want out of the convention.

They don't comment on issues like this and rely on some implicit notion of 'british fair play' and the conventions of cricket.

 

[butchersapron]

The ECHR is nothing whatsoever to do with the EU.

And that local paper is attacking the award of the compensation and the ECHR, rather than attacking the cops for incompetence?

Or have I got this wrong?

Why on earth would you assume that?

No it's just reporting it. The UKIP angle is mine, inspired by listening to them whining on local radio ahead of the MEP elections next month.
