Park Life 71 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 The second one is "...but I really fancy Jessica Ennis." I think it's gone further than that now, they are just sick of the establishment and by default the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21921 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 it's a protest vote, i don't care what anyone says. the fact labour are losing voters to them too shows just how out of touch the mainstream political parties are with voters on both sides, and the complete lack of options on the left. just look at the emily thornberry debacle.

Obviously a politician can't say it but someone with a house covered in England flags five months after the WC and who doesn't know there's a bye-election on is a thick cunt. All sides need to pander to thick cunts of all types but it would be refreshing for someone to just say "fuck 'em".

Park Life 71 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Obviously a politician can't say it but someone with a house covered in England flags five months after the WC and who doesn't know there's a bye-election on is a thick cunt. Â All sides need to pander to thick cunts of all types but it would be refreshing for someone to just say "fuck 'em". This is precisely the outlook that have given game to UKIP. The disenfranchised (mostly working class and now middle class also) have been ignored for a decade or more by the mainstream parties. They see UKIP as a friendly port of call (wether that is true or not is another discussion). Ever since the elites moved production abroad this has been a war in the making.

PaddockLad 17257 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Â Ever since the elites moved production abroad this has been a war in the making. Thatcher caused this, shut down industry, move to services, de regulate the city, bring the wogs in to do the graft. The descendents of those who built the empire that the fuckin Tory cunts own can go and rot. Â It's happening in the US too, but they've got a goddam commy negro in charge who wants to give all the wetbacks work permits and heaktthcare. I understand he's hugely compromised on security issues but to just give two fingers to a Republican dominated congress and force it through is great iyam....also hes perhaps making sure that the Republicans get all the immigrant vote next time out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â I remember when the Tories released via twitter the Beer and Bingo incentive 'for hard working people to do the things they enjoy', a Thick of It writer came out and said they would have rejected it as too far-fetched.

Rob W 0 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 ", bring the wogs in to do the graft"  happened long before Thatcher - way back in the 50's Lonon Transport brought in West Indians and then in the early 60's the rag trade brought in people from the subcontinent  Most of the Chinese started to arrive in the 70's  The Yuropeans came in AFTER Thatcher in the mid 90's  Of course the Yemenis in S Shields date back to 1930 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17257 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 True Rob but the numbers are far bigger now. Think thats whats gets peoples backs up. The irony is huge, the party who do most to keep the CoL happy is being split apart by a policy that their lords and masters fully approve of.

TheDimpleboy 0 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 UKIP will continue to increase in popularity until the 'liberal-progressives' among us in their ivory towers accept that immigration is a serious issue for many people. As someone with centre-left politics I should be repulsed by the home county Thatcherite's and libertarians that seem to infest UKIP, but I'm seriously considering giving them my vote. Hell, the main thing stopping me is the fact that a vote for anything other than Labour is basically a waiver for another Tory government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
