Ska Keller for me. Even if she sounds like a cosy little pub with live music in Kreuzberg or the Reeperbahn.

It comes to something when the Daily Mail reports your interviews in, er, “less than glowing terms”…

I suspect it will make no difference. London Liberal media ambush to twist the straight talking words of the common sense man.

They're going to win the Euro elections...

Haussmann wrote: Godfrey Bloom is my MEP. Outside of being sexist and racist, he's best remembered for writing a long, incoherent letter to the local paper in which he (honestly) blamed potholes on the EU.

He's one of mine too!

He's also on record as saying something along the lines of "Global Warming is a myth"

Edit: Thusly

I've got a tenner says they won't

I say:

for Yorkshire and the Humber:

2 Tory
1 Lab
1 Ukip
1 Green
1 LibDem

This morning I cycled past a party political poster for the Jezus Leeft party (Jesus Lives), with the slogan- out of the EU now! So I had a look at their manifesto. I must admit I was until now entirely unaware that Jesus had opinions on the EU, I thought the only supra-national executive body he had a beef with with was the Roman Empire, but the Jezus Leeft party claim to be the heralds of his teachings since he departed the premises 2000 years ago.

I’m very sad to report that Jesus appears to be a small state, big business loving, foreigner hating, racist, Darwin despising, misogynistic, Islam hating, tea party dickwad.

Help!

Has Google translate missed some of the nuances here?

It makes about as much sense as the Dutch, to be honest.

Some of the nuances, yes. Doesn't mean that thing don't get freaky:

Lijst 16 has 16 main policies. WE WANT:
1. stop throwing money into the (Southern) European bottomless pit
2. stop with letting our polders run under water*
3. stop bullying the Russians**
4. stop with the hybristic idea of a European army
5. return to the own guilder
6. back to care for the frail and the elderly
7. back to loving thy neighbour
8. our work back
9. entrepeneurs as governors, and not civil servants
10. banish drugs
11. no free abortions and euthanasia***
12. fewer rules and hence civil servants
13. patrolling our own border
14. no nuclear energy, but green energy
15. be there for socialists and liberals, since we are social and free
16. be there for democrats who still believe in JESUS and Christians who want to leave the EU.

* no idea what they're on about
** I imagine that they want to say that the Russians should stop their bullying, but that's not what they actually say. These guy say, in their program, that they want to stop bullying the Russians. WTF.
*** "euthenasie" is a spelling error

The construction of starting a sentence ("Wij willen") that is then followed by a summation of sixteen different endings of that same sentence, appears to throw Google translate of their tracks. Also, it seems unaware of the phrase "er zijn voor" = "being there for".

On the topic of the party itself: what a bunch of fruitcakes.

Yes, they have a downloadable pdf on their site also which contains further gems such as:

*No unbiblical use of the internet.
*The Netherlands to boycott and break off diplomatic ties with countries that produce drugs.
*Make divorce almost impossible.
*The closure of retirement homes, with pensioners to live with their families.
*Pro-natal policies.
*Heavy tariffs for foreign trucks that come into the Netherlands (seriously, I’m not making this up).
*Break off diplomatic links and boycott countries that have sharia law practices.
*Immigration restricted to persecuted Christians.
*Stop all overseas development money except for disaster relief.

Jesus wept. Or would if he saw what was being proposed in his name.

Same as UKIP in what matters. Clear off out and we're going to get what we want from the EU.

I'm getting sick of everything focusing on Farage and UKIP, even if it is negative coverage. It's basically giving the Tories (who are the ones actually fucking up the country, after all) a free ride, while Cameron gets to agree with everyone in calling Farage beyond the pale.

[Tubby Isaacs]

UKIP's actual specific policy proposals

Absolutely right.

See the Tory papers leading the charge. If it were about policy, they should be supporting UKIP.

This My Vote quiz from the EU matches your answers against party voting records to suggest the most compatible with your views.

I got Sinn Fein and by quite a margin over the second closest. More reassuringly, the Front National was the least similar.

The Centre Démocrate Humaniste from Belgium get top rank for me. No clue if that's a good thing or not. Bottom are the allcaps IO AMO ITALIA, and they are allied with UKIP, so it's a good sign that they come last.

Jesus would have been a fan of the EU. At least, in principle - cooperation and so forth.
