Will UKIP win its first seat in parliament tonight?

When you are in a hole Emily.....

“It was a house covered in British flags. I’ve never seen anything like it before. My point is that it’s a remarkable image of a house completely covered in flags. There’s three of them.”

Labour MP Simon Danczuk

Everyone will know exactly what she meant by that comment. I think she was being derogatory and dismissive of the people. We all know what she was trying to imply. I’ve talked about this previously. It’s like the Labour party has been hijacked by the north London liberal elite and it’s comments like that which reinforce that view.

Oh dear Emily.

What point is Labour MP, Emily Thornberry trying to make?

Driveway needs doing?

 

[fatdog]

So displaying our own flag means we're racist bigots according to dear Emily?

Is it greater than 96
.9% Englishness?

covered in British flags

I guess when you're in a hole, keep digging. You might reach Oz eventually.

Pavement needs doing more

Those porches are pretty hilarious.

Doesn't suprise me Emily Thornberry tweeted that photo, it's her MO as she's a vile snob, I've seen her on TV a few times and she just seems to have cloned her personality from Diane Abbot, and we all know what a bigot she is

If the people wanted UKIP, what's wrong with that?

I'm just wondering with the whole UKIP thing. Lets say if the majority wanted UKIP in power does this still make them a loony party? Well, yes, I guess. But what's wrong with that if people want it? It does annoy me, a little bit, seeing UKIP getting the **** taken out of them when there are real people with real problems who feel UKIP can help them. By making fun of the party you make fun of all those people too. Whether UKIP are or not a loony party what right do 'those people' have to take to **** out of UKIP and it's followers?

Heh!

 

[Danthus]

The portrayal of UKIP as a racist bunch of xenophobes by the likes of LibLabCon is pure laziness.

 

[Monkeynut]

I think it's not a case of blaming people for their problems but UKIP capitalising on their misfortune. For example, a lot of UKIP supporters I've seen are what you would call working class, and yet UKIP want to decimate their working rights.

This thread is only going one way. But FPTP very rarely ends up with the winning party having majority support, and this is even less so in the age of the coalition.

You hit the nail on the head when you said, "who feel UKIP can help them". Lots of people who have landed on tough times are looking for a reason why they are in the position they are in, and they feel that UKIP are the answer. This then causes the other mainstream parties to panic and lurch over to the right to try and cover off the UKIP vote.

The whole agenda is based completely on populist vote chasing and hyped up headlines instead of evidence, and that's what a lot of people find irritating. 5 years of leadership based on people emotionally overreacting to tabloid headlines isn't anything worth looking forward to.

Why start a new thread? Wouldn't have been easier just posting in the UKIP thread we already have?

Mods can you merge?

 

[jsmoke]

Do/would you want to be like ISIS, originally you would most likely say no, however after much luring and brainwashing through prayer and whatever other means you may change you mind.

 

[Xordium]

She probably just wants immigrants to get a good deal and the basics in life the last thing she needs is hungry savages looking at here she'd feed half a village.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

As if poor Ed Miliband didn't have enough troubles.

 

[Danthus]

Don't worry, he has told her off.

 

[robgmun]

What did Ed do? Feed her Wensleydale?

Oh dear Emily.

3 flags, he's obviously never been to northern ireland, union jacks, ulster flags, independent ulster flags, irish tricolors, scottish flags, even palestinian and israeli flags depending on where you go.

Whether you agree with their policies or not, it's hard to argue that they'd be able to form a competent government. Their 'gene pool' is simply too small. The current government is full of people who are well-educated and have experience in running large organisations. Beyond Nigel Farage, who in UKIP has the necessary skills to run a department?
