Default Anti UKIP tweet gets police visit
Micheal Abbertons tweet of this earned him a visit from the police.

'A blogger who tweeted a "fact-check" of 10 Ukip election promises might have thought his somewhat innocuous tweet might earn him a few retweets at best. Instead, it earned Michael Abberton a visit from the police.

The Huffington Post UK has learnt that the complaint was made by Cllr Peter Reeve, Ukip's local Government spokesman and national nominating officer.

Abberton was told by two Cambridgeshire police officers that they were sure he had not broken the law, but asked him to delete the tweet in any event, admitting they could not force him to do so.

The tweet in question was tongue-in-cheek poster of 10 Great Reasons To Vote Ukip, such as scrapping maternity leave and paid holiday. Abberton claims he did not even make the poster himself - merely added links to the party's own material that backed up the poster's claims.'

How do you make things go viral?...

It's about time the whispering/sniping campaign against UKIP was stopped.

This "UKIP is Fascist Party" rubbish has to be stopped as it is clearly supported by the other Mainstream Political party's scared of having their vote reduced.

Someone speaks out against a political party claiming that they are fascist, and in response, they try to have them silenced by law enforcement? If ever I've seen a point more aptly proven. This alone shows fascist intention.

This! All the newspapers etc. are trying to make scandals out of them because they're crapping themselves because they are becoming more popular.

This is why I've always been against social networks being so monitored at first they make it seem like it was to protect us all from evil trolls....

Is it only Labour supporters that have an issue with UKIP? I don't think it is.

Seriously, you needed an interpretation? I thought you were joking.

Don't think its fair to blame 'the left' personally. UKIP has everyone quite rattled (besides those who plan to vote for them). Tories, Labour, Greens, everyone.

I wasn't blaming the left, I was making the point that lots of people on the left feel free to call anyone on the right a fascist. If things are that black and white to some people, surely they shouldn't object when everyone on the left is lumped together and called a communist.

Unless you weren't referring to my post... in which case, hey Vicky, how's it going? LOL...

Ah ok I get ya then

Too used to arguing on other forums where people seem to think only Labour voters are against UKIP..which is just utter rubbish. Saw one post about the crap that was being posted to UKIP and the poster said (in all seriousness too) that a Tory voter wouldnt stoop low enough to do that so it must all be 'the left'

And its going fine
