And Labour has also a LONG, LONG, history of deceit, corruption, mismanagement, waste, broken election promises, 'U' Turns and failures compared to 'insular little activist parties like ukip'.

I respect the right of anyone to support who they please, I have said many times on here, I think it a disgrace that UKIP could get 3,800,000 votes and only 1 seat. I have also, over the last months noted the worth of some of UKIPs social policies, such as scrapping the bedroom tax and ending ATOS style re-assessments of the sick and disabled. My moan with UKIP is the big ones unfortunately, the EU and immigration. You slam down anything I say, others too, its not for me to say who, just for their views which like you, they are entitled to hold too. I wasn't on here for the last election and I am sad that I was on for this one, since I have come to alter how I think of some I really respected. You were one, however, I am not going to accept being generalised as a left wing militant,so since that has only come from UKIP supporters,I will stand against it. All those statistics you quote are fine but if we wanted to, they could be presented another way that could back most of our arguments too. Statistics say what the people quoting them or gathering them want them to say. Anyway,you are not having me say,I don't like UKIPs stance on issues or the way the message I stated came across. You then go straight into the left wing attack on here with the word arrogant added in too, as in relation to my post and my words. You and I have had some good chats on here and not so good ones,however I am fed up of this left wing prejudice you portray against me and others in a generalised sense on here and in relation to my posts too. In fact, you know what, I am fed up of here totally anyway and am sick of being got at. I have really had all I am going to take from you and 2 others on here now, really had it beyond the level of tolerance now. Needless to say, I disagree with most of what your post outlines anyway too,I won't however use any terminology of what side of politics is right or wrong as to the statements. I stand by my view, that no party is always right and none always wrong either, it is for people to choose and they should not be belittled,got at or insulted as I and others have been just for having a view that is different to yours and others who sympathise with UKIP. That all used to be against the rules, it seems it isn't any longer, so maybe I have now been on here too long. I am not however taking any more of it.

My post is specifically about the EU and chiefly the corrupt Tories who took us in and are keeping us in. "Sorry, but I can't accept this as it's a complete and utter reversal of the true status quo - it is the Left Wing on here who in the main arrogantly presume that their views are the absolute truth and who either 'gang up' to 'shout down' any opposing views, or ignore posts which expose their views as wrong only to then post those same fallacious views on other threads." And even the first paragraph above is NO MORE personal than your posts or Kizzy's or JoshBB's are when opposing my posts or The Truths or LT's, so I do not understand your reaction. I did not agree with your contentions below and posted a counter. What is wrong with that Joey? "This is what turns me off UKIP, the rhetoric as to anything they and their supporters don't like or want as being the absolute truth and all that matters. Everyone else wrong, only they being right, in their view. The hard extreme of dismissing everything anyone else says that challenges the UKIP viewpoint,usually with nasty put downs and unnecessary personal insults too." I respect you Joey and I would rather cease posting than have you quit - especially when I do not see anything wrong with my post? |

in truth socialism has never worked for britain, labour pm james callaghan said to the young people of 1979 that there was no future in this country for them, and he was right, britain then was in decline, and it is on decline right now, because we are suck in the eu, the only thing that would not turn this country into greece is the eu currency, we are lucky to have kept the pound, when labour left number ten cabinet, in 2010, they left a copy note saying their was no more money in the treasury, I believe that labour wasted half of that money on the eu, in turn got nothing back but paying other countries debt's in the eu, today their is no future for the british people, because are mps sold are jobs out to cheap labour,

If our post's were personal they would be removed, I'd rather you didn't bring my name into your posts in an attempt to justify your comments thanks.

what these new labour fans fail to realise is that I AM SOCIALIST, well a progressive one at least. I applaud much of what Obama has done. I think a lot of it is marvellous. hes especially helped small businesses which I believe are the key to a healthy economy and maybe society at large example 1) redistribute wealth. simplify , scrap all sly underhand new labour stealth taxes that rob the working classes..simply have a sliding scale of taxes all the way from 10% to 50% at every Ł10,000 all the way up to the multi millionaires 2) fight to scrap vat totally. its an enslavement tax. THIS IS THE BIGGEST THING LABOUR COULD EVER ACHIEVE TO TOTALLY TRNSFORM THE COUNTRY. it would allow thousands of new businesses to grow and challenge the monopolies create enormous competition and enormous innovation and jobs etc etc 3) scrap town centre parking and vastly reduce business rates in town centres for small business. 4) pass a new law making it easier for those falsely accused of bigotry to take action against the false accuser 5) tighten the benefits laws. make the bridge between benefits and work far easier to bridge. its not always the fault of the people on benefits as working 6) hours keeps them all benefits then working over 16 hours risks them losing their homes. people wont take the risk so the system has to change massively. work must be rewarded worklessness must not 7) stop demonising wealth makers , employers , landlords...new labour fans are the most sad cynical blind brainwashed droogs in the country they believe all wealth creators are pernicious bullying money grabbing crooks...when nothing could be further from the truth in many cases...theyre the brave hard working risk takers we must have to move forward and build an economy. same for landlords they have no protection at all 8) name the accusers in all legal cases, the current system is imbalanced and destroys innocents. 9) apologise for the horrific past which frankly will never be forgiven anyway. encourage free speech and stop oppressing the people. give us back our language and our free speech without endlessly falsely accusing people of bigotry. that is exactly the reason we got into this mess 10) quit women only shortlists. theyre illegal, theyre anti democratic theyre a disgrace. yes make it easier for women to get into work to stay in work and support families....but to ban men from running for parliament is a disgrace....even many women will agree on this....ban women only shortlists or men only shortlists for any job....try concentrating on the truly oppressed ie the disabled. totally overlooked for a generation 11) make a promise and deliver it. particularly to try and cut back the mass of red tape created with devolution especially that has made policing impossible, in fact that's made most public sector jobs impossible 12) fight to get back some laws from Europe. they know make up 80% of our laws. get control of our borders and get a points system in place as with most other western societies....try to make a deal with the eu to share out the most desperate cases fairly across Europe. scrap the child benefits to send abroad....immigrants must pay national insurance for the same period as everyone else.....immigration is mostly a good thing. but 300,000 a year consisting of illegals galore is not feasible its plain dangerous 13) rediscover your identity. the unions aren't all good or all bad. they fought for essential rights....but they lost their way and self destructed...remind yourselves what worked and what didn't. 14) the industries? if labour want to stay in Europe then fight to get the red tape lifted on us digging up our black gold , old king coal. we have the best coal in the world under our feet. since its been untouched for 20 years its only gotten even better.....new techniques to pick it out mostly with machines must be exploited. why wait for the germans to dig up our coal? we can liquefy it and use it in 101 different ways too..the germans have increased their coal production by 30% but the laws the eu has changed has allowed the germans to do so and kept us with our hands tied...get a better deal or get out.....the price of commodities goes up and down. so you never turn your back on your greatest natural resources. we have many open casts reopened its possible to get deeper given the right incentives , the right rules too. in wales new labour had to cut back their insane rules in the end and hey presto opencast coal was back overnight 15) stop praising the nhs as perfect just to suck up to the unions to get the votes, people see through it now. roll back the mass of middle management and the stinking corruption and waste in the trust. employ 100s of people instead to assess and deal with patients and staff complaints, stop brushing these matters under the table 16) nhs clear vision. say what you like about the tories but to state their goal of 7 day , 24 7 nhs is an uplifting positive even noble goal....new labours scoffing and sneering is simply embarrassing. the tories are saying lets get more scanned and screened all week and cut the red tape...sometimes it takes weeks just to get a proper test for a blood clot....25,000 a year die from undiagnosed blood clots. labour cannot win by dragging down their opponents or spinning any more...to win you must simply be better than your opponents 17) hold local government and councils to account. scarp the system, overturn it. why are they allowed to waste and still get rewarded for it. reward the councils who come in under budget. simple. that way the councils would get the sewers and roads fixed at the same time to save money. then theyd get their rewards. instead of being rewarded for wasting so they get the same funding next year. its immoral its wasteful its wrong 18) ensure every council has 1 member of the business community representing businesses in every council meeting to state the voice for the economy. this has never happened. 19) limit the period of time a person can lead a council or sit on a council. many go on decades, by which time they have so much dirt on everyone else everyone is too scared to get rid of them. blackmail is rife at councils 20) limit the endless rules and regs councils invent for hammering more fines and tariffs on small businesses. they need a chance to grow and create jobs. instead tighten up regulations on bigger companies instead they have far greater responsibilities and in many cases put lives at risk that's just a start |

Given that ukip are such a small party they are a bit of a mess, and so far don't seem to be adhering particularly to democratic processes within their own party. Corruption, well take a look at the crap surrounding the 650k going to the ukip mp back office. We only have a few examples to go on with ukip, but i'm not perceiving them as some lilly white party, far from it

You know - the exact same way which you and others do. First of all, comparing UKIP with the Labour party and describing it as 'mickey mouse' is as ridiculous as comparing the teetering first steps of a toddler with the practiced gait of a a fit 30 year old because UKIP is a relatively fledgling party by comparison with the long established Labour Party, and is therefore replete with all the teething troubles and immaturity one would reasonably expect it to have. Secondly; you were the first to point out this disparency when you were defending the Labour Party's long history of corruption, malpractice, and failure in another post, implying that because UKIP WERE such a new party "we only have a few examples to go on with UKIP". Lastly, you state that you: 'very much doubt if half that number (4 million) would vote for UKIP now', and that UKIP are a 'mickey Mouse party' and not a 'proper political party', and claim that "all" you "have said can be backed up with fact", but `I challenge you to POST those facts because the TRUTH is that UKIP are on the rise and have been phenomenally successful in such a very short space of time and despite having ALL the mighty media pro-EU and pro-Immigration media propaganda machine railed against it for years. As the following FACTS incontrovertibly attest: 1) UKIP has cemented its place as the new third party of British politics after a fresh surge in popularity - this time in the more difficult terrain of parliamentary elections. 2) UKIP took not far off 4 million votes across the country: 3,881,129 according to the BBC’s final figures. That is 12.6% or one in every eight voters. 3) UKIP seized control of its first local authority – Thanet council – taking 33 of its 56 seats. 4) UKIP has its first MP - Douglas Carswell retaining the seat he won in last year’s Clacton byelection. Although only one seat due to the FPTP system, this is a 100% gain on the 2010 total. 5) UKIP has taken second place in 120 seats – up from precisely NONE at the last election. 6) UKIP are sucssefully on target with these results as far as their “2020 Strategy” is concerned, which is; "to get the party lined up as a serious and credible opponent to both Tories and Labour in order to launch a far stronger challenge at the polls in 2020. 7) UKIP also came a very close THIRD in a lot of seats and emerged as a CLEAR threat to the main two parties - notably in Thurrock where it took 31.7% of the vote and just TWO percentage points separate the Conservatives, Labour and UKIP. 8) UKIP's second places allow UKIP to present itself as the main credible opponent to the sitting MPs. A vote for UKIP in these seats no longer seems a wasted protest vote, but a viable means of unseating the discredited purveyors of austerity. 9) UKIP has done well across a surprisingly wide geographical spread with a noticeable UKIP vote in apparently unlikely areas such as parts of Wales. 10) UKIP has even shown by the votes it received in traditional Tory shires and Labour heartlands, that it IS making real connections with the electorate in these traditional Red and Blue strongholds. 11) UKIP has built on its existing presence in the Tory shires, where over the past couple of years it has gained substantial numbers of councillors at the local elections. 12) UKIP have also made great play of the party’s increasing popularity in northern, traditionally Labour constituencies – and the general election vote reflects this. 13) UKIP's policies have been so recognised as TRUE by a GROWING number of the electorate that Cameron and others have been quick to desperately hijack them and regurgitate them as their own - this includes immigration and the EU. Don't be frightened by the TRUTH for the Truth shall set ye free. Last edited by kirklancaster; 22-05-2015 at 09:41 AM. |

Kirk just stop it please. I have read many of your posts here, and they always take the same pattern. I have plenty time to debate with people who are passionate, yet can appreciate alternative views when appropriate. I will not involve myself in discussions where people think they can bully opinion on others.

You yourself have posted long posts as has lots of others but I have NEVER EVER said that I had not read them, nor would I because how can one debate if he is NOT reading and ingesting his opponent's counter arguments? Yet this claim is being used more and more on here. If you cannot answer an argument or have been out-argued say so or say nothing, but do not make ridiculous claims then start to deflect by unjustly accusing me of bullying when all I have done is debated. It is disgusting and unfair. |

In the end Cameron knows the only way to reduce immigration is to overhaul the benefits system (the national insurance contributions required to be paid to qualify)
other than that I don't see any way to control the borders unless were out of the eu so the European leaders need to ask themselves 1 question, do we allow the uk to amend their welfare benefits as they wish or lose the uk from the eu (I do think theres a heck of a lot more going on especially the insane rules and regulations that are crippling businesses across Europe and the enormous waste, 1 town in wales has just wasted Ł180,000 on eu money putting up walled gardens on 4 roundabouts, just typical nonsense like this across europe) |

How is that truth, attempting to decry the view of others by using the phrase 'typical new Labour' and asking if they've read reams of Legislation isn't an opinion.
The rest is conjecture.
