I think you'll find it's very much UKIP who are afraid of the boatloads, actually.

Not sure I meant that they represent them, so much as give the impression they do by covering their concerns under that out-of-the-EU umbrella.
Despite how the tribes like to paint the three parties and their opposing supporters, there doesn't feel like there has been much between them over the last 20 years. Particularly at a leadership level and regarding the EU, so it's easier for Farage to appear like he has the answers to their concerns because of that.

The big story is The Tories having their ass handed to them by UKIP rather than the wonderfully stupid Thornberry thing. If she had tweeted what she had next June no one would have batted an eyelid. Having said that, every time I've seen/heard her speak, she's come across like a champion arsehole though so it's all been quite enjoyable.

It would appear that media twitter reporting rules differ for Conservatives and Labour:

One of their two new MPs (can't remember which one, nor can I bring myself to care) has said the "Send the Europeans back" doctrine won't apply to the Irish.

Well. That's it then. If they're not prepared to deport Graham Norton and Terry Wogan they've lost my vote!

They can send Mrs Brown and her boys back as well. Unfunny codswallop.

Reckless has, of course, been 'clarifying' his position further over the past few days. For 'clarifying', read 'back-pedalling like a bison on a unicycle'. D*ckhead.

They say, "never meet your heros" I suppose anti heros or enemies as well.
Well yesterday I was face to face with Mr Toad himself.
I was doing the exact opposite of old Nigel, in walking between Gare de Nord to Gare de l'Est in Paris, to catch the TGV home to Strasbourg while he, I guess had just come from anice time in Strasbourg with his right wing alliance chums. Not sure if he met the pope though.

Now, we were on opposite sides of the rue de St Quenten waiting for the green man to come on and to cross.
So what a dilemma - should I take this chance to as I pass him when we cross, critising his right wing opinions, making hime a quivering jelly with some well thought out quip ? but all I could think was to either to hit him, or call him a cunt, neither really my style.
Anyway, the green man came on , and I passed within a metre of him, and all I could do is fix him with a steely glare of contempt.
He was well turned out though; but looking very uncomfortable being surrounded by foreign commuters, and i like to think my withering stare.

But afterwards I regretted my lack of action - similar to those people who afterwards say if only someone had met Hitler early on and nobbled him.

Ah well.

Should've gobbed on his back. Done a Rijkaard, so to speak.

that would have been cowardly, underhand and sly.

Well, on the one hand, Reckless wants to make the Irish a special case in UKIP's stance on immigration.

But on the other hand, UKIP can't tell the difference between London's Catholic cathedral and a mosque....

This was my favourite bit,
According to Nigel:

“Well, the people’s army are not wholly trained,” the Ukip leader said. “They are enthusiastic volunteers, and volunteers make mistakes and that lady made a mistake.”

Not trained? Surely more accurate to say not very bright.
Who will save us from "The Peoples Army"?

I reckon those that just might be considering voting UKIP will eventually be won over by progressive mocking, lefty ridicule, liberal bile and a cunning plan or two from Grant Shapps.

You should have knocked him to the ground ,stamped on his head until he was limp and lifeless and then pissed on his body.I do have anger management issues at the moment because I had a row with a work college after taking him off 53 seconds late . Apparently I should have texted him to let him know how late I was going tobe .( I had taken him off 6 minutes late the previous night as well so i was just taking the piss).And just to complete the circle he is a UKIP supporter.....and breathe.

UKIP not exactly tearing up Thanet South, according to constituency poll. Even with Farage standing, picking the seat (after Clacton) most likely to elect him, he's a massive 3 points ahead of Labour (who are only supported by ethnics and Islington lawyers) and 5 points behind the Tories, with their useless leader who's really a Social Democrat and a Europhile traitor.

Wondering if they might end up with just Carswell after the next election. That would be funny.

Yes, one MP with about 15 per cent of the vote would be absolutely sodding hilarious, given that (I reckon) the ultra-conservative fuckwits who make up a large proportion of UKIP voters and UKIP politicians are likely to have been (edit: historically, pre-UKIP) the most resolute opponents of funny foreigh innovations like any move to a fair, PR-based, electoral representation system.

Less funny that the Greens and Lib Dems get screwed too of course.

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

Blimey. Farage wants to arm people he thinks are "responsible". Yeah, that'll be good.

[Eggchaser]

UKIP's actual specific policy proposals

According to The Times, Farage's inner cabal are handpicking the candidates for the next election rather than allowing the rank and file to democratically elect them.

He's less stupid than he looks.
