Gay marriage causes floods

[Pickles]

And not, apparently, of camp tears ...

UKIP may just have had its "David Icke" or "James Anderton" moment.

[NormanH]

I am not surprised to read this.

UKIP is very young and has no effective way of screening candidates as yet.

[woolybanana]

So that is the cause of flooding; I always thought it was immigration!

Perhaps, therefore, they should avoid fielding candidates until they have!

Perhaps, but Norman was discussing the youthfulness of UKIP, not any other political party.

Hmm all those public school boys vetting for gay, there wouldn't be a party left.

Has any one checked if Q's all right, not like him to miss a UKIP pounding

[woolybanana]

Norman has always been a closet UKIP supporter. This thread is an underhand way for him to see if he can't recruit some of us to the party.

You're a wicked man, Woolie-Banana

U KIP in his barrel?

[woolybanana]

Nah, too much self-respect!

But he is well known for attempting to entice young things in to see his collection of ears.

Someone just gave me this link..[url]https://m.soundcloud.com/nicholas-pegg/ukip-shipping-forecast[/url]

And, if that doesn't raise a titter, have a look at this for a Twitter titter:[url]https://twitter.com/UkipWeather[/url]

[woolybanana]

Bit barren, that,Betty, I thought.

I am sure Norman could have done better. Come on Normie, out of your reverie and get composing. Just put down your knitting. And stop cleaning your ears with the needles.

[YCCMB]

Well, each to his own, but the Twwitter feed has had me sniggering for ages. Norman's probably still busy unearthing financial irregularities in the UMP.

[Thibault]

Both brilliant, Betty - best laugh I've had for ages.

[Racerbear02]

Well done for posting that Betty :)

We just need another couple of the UKIP grandees (!) to open their mouths before engaging what passes for their brains, to sink them and their bigoted and biased views without trace.

[Théière]

So where would those MP's go? off to other parties where they may keep their bigoted and biased views for another time. Don't forget they are not new to politics they just migrated to UKIP with the hope of getting somewhere quicker.

 

[Racerbear02]

I would sincerely hope that by the time they wanted to move on, their stupidity would be well documented and no one wouuld have them, OK I know that is a dream, but one has to have dreams :)

[NickP]

Interesting, there's lots of UKIP bashing going on, which personally I don't have a problem with as all politicians deserve being bashed, but no one is talking about the religious zealots who are the chief propagandists in this issue, I see a Spanish cardinal joined the "gay" discussion, but no mention on here, also no mention of the "hands on" Liberal Peer.  

[Théière]

You do have to wonder if there are fifth columnists on a plot to destroy the UKIP party by joining and making outlandish statements

[Racerbear02]

Actually Nick, I was trying to avoid the religious side of the problem to avoid causing offence to those narrow minded cretinous bigots [:)]

As an openly gay man living with his partner of some 18 years I certainly have views on them as you might  imagine [:D]

I have no truck with any sort of bigotry, religious, ethnic or any other, I live my life my way and do not proselytize, I would like to be accorded the same respect from others, shame that it does not happen [:(]

[YCCMB]

I'm actually wondering just who will be left to vote for UKIP pretty soon, as they gradually alienate so many sectors of society.

And, if you would like me to add some balance to the discussion, the only bit I can think of is that, at this rate, they will help Boris in his alleged quest to become leader of the Tories, because compared to the average UKIP candidate, he's beginning to look quite normal...[:D]

[/quote] Why avoid the religious side, when you're quite happy to condemn some plonker who aspires to be a politician. I think it's a bigger problem than the UKIP idiot. In my opinion, there are a lot more cretinous religious bigots and liars than there are political muppets.   So although I sincerely believe you  have the right to respect etc. that you deserve in life, I have to ask why you cherry pick your target, I'm sorry but it does seem to me that like a lot of others you're jumping on a bandwagon.

Betty as I said earlier, these are not new political candidates they have just migrated to UKIP to try and advance their careers quicker or they are spies placing themselves there to discredit that party. Either way these politicians are already in all parties with their wacko ideals or voices to discredit another party.
