UKIP election candidate: 'Knock down mosques and ban Islam.
 
Shocking - far too many extreme candidates in UKIP for me.

[A UKIP candidate standing in Oldham is at the centre of controversy after calling for mosques to be knocked down and Islam to be banned. ]


Yes I assume she will not get picked

I thought it was just the Eastern Europeans they were going after:joker:. So knock down places of worship for British citizens born and bred eh? great tactic.

We should cover the mosques in huge burqas, so us proud Englishmen don't have to see foreign muck in our country.

Are you suggesting that free speech is wrong and that only views that reflect your worldview should be tolerated?

and that your worldview is right and any that do not reflect your views are "extreme"?

JTM45 03-05-2014 10:14 AM

I think the OP was just stating that with views like that UKIP is not the party for them. :shrug:
I saw no mention at all of them not being allowed to voice their views.

While there is still a majority of decent, reasonably intelligent people in the UK they'll never get into power anyway so let them knock themselves out spouting their idiocy. :hugesmile:

Unfortunately I think they have growing support, there seems to be a body of thought that the current parties need a kick up the ass (true) and that electing a few UKIP MPs is the way to do it. (not true).

By accusing them of low intelligence and their policies as idiotic you appear no different

in fact you assume superiority simply by name calling

I'm voicing an informed opinion, not name calling.
If people have idiotic views (in my opinion) then going by your "free speech" point it's my right to call them as i see them, or are you contradicting yourself ?

Livia 03-05-2014 10:24 AM

Despite these gaffs, UKIP is gaining support like a rolling snowball.

Its not surprising if you look at the combined readership of the DM, the DE and the SUN/STAR

Yes... in his party election broadcast, he was leaning on the bar of a country pub, beer pumps behind him. He's not stupid... It was on the local news here yesterday that they'd had another public meeting somewhere Anglia - missed where exactly - and there was a traffic jam and queues of people trying to get to the place. The last public meeting they had in my local town was oversubscribed by a lot, and loads of people who turned up couldn't get in. Can't imagine a public meeting for any other party being oversubscribed.

I don't think the other parties quite grasp the extent of the shellacking they're going to get on 22nd May.

Kyle 03-05-2014 11:01 AM

All these educated and informed people calling their fellow countrymen stupid and idiotic for voting or sympathising with UKIP will play right into their hands.

Nobody likes people being condescending and haughty so by slinging mud at them your only going to entrench people further.

UKIP are not the voice of the average man in the street

Scarlett. 03-05-2014 12:47 PM

I hope Nigel Farage and his crappy party fall down into an open manhole and are never seen again.

You could say that about all the political parties.

The problem is so many hate Labour or Conservative
as they are very much the same on many things.


Farage on those 2 TV debates was great
the public liked him even if they are not
voting UKIP

And that is absolutely terrifying in my view.
