The lunatics have control

[joebloggs]

These folks who go into poor paying jobs then have the cheek to moan about their lot, crack me up

or those who don't have Unions to get them better pay and conditions

[gWaPito]

No doubt Putin will give UKIP his full backing.... He's currently limbering up in the Ukraine

[joebloggs]

Joe, Farage is not against immigration, hes against total open door policy to the whole of Europe. He has repeatedly said he wants controlled immigration but the media tend to cherry pick his words and twist them. Let,s look at this scenario The UK,s economy surges ahead and the rest of Europe goes into reverse. Where do you think everybody will head to? YES, across the water to our already overcrowded country. The motorways are packed out as it is, they can,t cope with the traffic we have at the moment. There are not enough houses getting built, so rents and house prices going through the roof. The hospital waiting lists have gone way up, the schools have not got enough places to go round - the list is endless - wake up and smell the coffee.

so what's UKIP's policy on bringing a non British partner to the UK tiger31, will they scrap the financial requirement, English tests etc ???

By the age of 21 I had been made redundant twice.........I had a wife and 2 babies at home relying on me. No way was I going to continue going through my life with the ever present threat of redundancy hanging over us
I got out and chose a different profession. It's as simple as that

your finding it difficult gwapito to praise the Union for getting you better pay and conditions, if all of us had the benefits of being a union man

this coming May UKIP will get my vote if i remember to do it

[grahamw48]

What an EXCELLENT party political broadcast that was by UKIP on the telly this evening.

[joebloggs]

me too, let's hope they can throw a few spanners in the works at Brussels

[les_taxi]

Good ol' unions, N.U.T dragging teachers out on strike again.

My heart bleeds for the poor teachers

[grahamw48]

Yes, and for the poor kids who's education they're hell bent on disrupting at exam time.

[Jamesey]

The truth is, I've been around a long time and from starting work after leaving school up until now, whatever party has been in power has never really knowingly affected my life personally and nothing ever changes. Inflation will always be the same so will wages and taxes, we just have to get on with our own lives and if you strive for something in life save up until you can afford it be happy and grateful we live in the UK, it's better than most other places. If UKIP ever got in power you would lose a lot of what Great Britain has given us since the second world war, many worked hard to give us what we are lucky enough to have now and it's the moaners that are going to lose everything we fought for all these years!

Good post.

The support for UKIP on here amazes me. If UKIP get anywhere near power, it would be a total disaster. The whole world should be looking forward and adapting to the global economy, but UKIP want to take this country back 50 years.

[Jamesey]

They both occupy exactly the same ground in politics Blair having brought Labour in from the left and Cameron having brought the Tories in from the right.

Exactly! Elections are won in the middle ground.

This forum seems to be populated mainly by some on the left and some quite far to the right, but the vast majority of the electorate are somewhere in the middle. I put myself in this bracket and I have no real allegiance to any political party. I'll just be voting for who I think will do the best job for me, my family and the country.

Our voting system means that (hopefully) those votes cast for parties on the extremes of the left and right will not translate into any MPs and we end up with a government somewhere in the middle.

Thanks for the heads up Graham - excellent as you say

[Dedworth]

Excellent posters...and clearly not 'racist' at all.

Thanks Dedworth.

Here's the bleeding hearts predictable take on the posters :-

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, leader of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, said it was wrong to use expressions that suggested "dismay or distress at all these people coming to this country".

Tory backbencher Nicholas Soames described the poster campaign as "deeply divisive, offensive and ignorant", while Labour's Mike Gapes branded the posters "racist".

Jim Murphy, the Shadow International Development Secretary, said Ukip's euro election launch was "another desperate cry for attention" and suggested the party's online support was not necessarily all it appeared to be.

why would that be ? EU law overrules UK laws, we cant deport foreign criminals because of their rights, today we find out that immigration officers now cant ask people from the EU how long they are staying for or what they have come for

The EU is a joke, an EU citizen can bring their non EU partner to the UK, but as EU citizens we don't have the same rights to bring our spouse to the UK

my father worked and paid taxes, i' work and pay taxes, so why should someone from the EU be entitled to the same benefits as a British citizen after being in the UK only a few months?

the EU has taken the Great out of Britain not UKIP

A tad earlier than Jamesey's 50 years ago would suit me just fine :-

Death Penalty for Murder & Treason

Discipline in School

Everything in English - no translations to 140 languages

A working and efficient NHS
Schools providing a decent education

Control of our borders
Proper level of spending on armed forces

Better policing

Cheap Beer & Petrol
