It appears you would rather believe a corporate media driven stereotype of the party rather then take the time to read their very sensible manifesto.Thom Pizzeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17321537406072803417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23662827.post-14322759201401080842012-08-08T22:02:57.864+01:002012-08-08T22:02:57.864+01:00Gregg, I'm genuinely interested in hearing som...Gregg, I'm genuinely interested in hearing some of this, since Farage has always come across as a great speaker and debater.<br /><br />The bad smell for me comes from their refusal to become a national force and the fact that many of their MEP's have gone native.<br /><br />Some don't even support leaving the EU anymore, am I right?<br /><br />If you feel this isn't the right forum then drop us a line privately.Daz Pearcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07935407418226324575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23662827.post-81018938165762260782012-08-08T07:07:00.689+01:002012-08-08T07:07:00.689+01:00The funniest thing with Farage was comparing what ...The funniest thing with Farage was comparing what version of his life story he had told different people. Like a typical bar room bore he loves nothing more than talking about himself, but can be highly 'imaginative'.Gregghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10323165429887622931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23662827.post-8120037215262486692012-08-07T21:42:38.108+01:002012-08-07T21:42:38.108+01:00I found Mensch's claim to have taken hard drug...I found Mensch's claim to have taken hard drugs rather ridiculous - still this move explains why she felt able to do it on national TV.<br /><br />Good riddance to bad rubbish IMO.<br /><br />The Lib Dems forgot that they were supposed to occupy that same 'superiority complex' niche in the market that the Greens do.<br /><br />They're the 'god, if only they got in' party - actually getting in and being as bad as anyone has shattered the love affair they had with some 15% of the electorate.<br /><br />The BNP are, were and always will be a pathetic goose-stepping outfit. That they've had any success is a reflection only on the dreadful state of the main parties. Where they get in, they're utterly useless.<br /><br />Like Farage before him, Griffin has got himself a nice little nest egg via the Brussels gravy train they both claim to despise.<br /><br />You might think I'm mad, but UKIP should have gone on the Kilroy rollercoaster IMO. They might have actually got somewhere nationally.
