UKIP 'Diversity Carnival' Croydon - A total disaster?

[Densaner]

Yeah. You're entitled to your opinion. Just don't attempt to state it as being a proven fact. Cheers.

UKIP is essentially the British equilvalent to the Republican Party, specifically aspects of the Tea Party. Yikes.

No it really isn't.

Um, well, a lot of their comments are similar, their economic policy is close...and the comment about gay marriage causing floods isn't too far off the mark.

[Alyakia]

because of people like nigel farages wife?

Oh yes. Nigel and his wife. Nick Robinson tried that one as I recall...

i wouldn't be surprised if he did. it seems like a really really obvious point.

one wonders whether australia and canada and their awesome-kickass points systems are desperate for secretaries or not.

No it really isn't.

you're right. i don't think the republicans would ever actually for for a flat tax.

Uh, actually, a lot advocate for the fair tax...

So one idiot makes a crack about gays, big deal. I've voted Labour at all general elections since I turned 18. Suddenly i'm a member of the TEA party when I decide Miliband and his clique aren't cutting the mustard. Gimme a break...

So why is the UK 42nd for immigration per capita? Australia and Canada are in the top 15. http://www.nationmaster.com/country-info/stats/People/Migration/Net-migration/Per-capita

Then explain how the foreign born population of the UK has doubled as a proportion of the general population over the last 20 years? Lies, damned lies...

Who cares if it doubled? 20% of Canada's population is now foreign born and they're doing fine. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canada-s-foreign-born-population-soars-to-6-8-million-1.1308179

so, hey, what is UKIPs policy on gay marriage anyway?

So? Canada is a nation of immigrants. Ditto the US and Australia. Britain's foreign born population before WWII was very small.

No, that's not the point: their economic policies are similar, their record isn't exactly in favour of equal rights, and the immigration stances are close. I suppose voting for them into the EU parliament is acceptable if you disagree with the EU, but within the government, I don't see how they would change much for the better.

It's not just the comments about the gays (of which there have been more than one), it the homeopathy, racism and climate change denial.

You may well be a reasonable individual, but a large number of the people who you are supporting and voting for are total wackjobs.

I was wrong.

As opposed to the current lot who bail out banks or sell off national assets for pennies. Sorry you'll have to do better than that...

i did :-)

i just wanted to make sure you weren't trying to deny that UKIP opposes same-sex marriage by going "oh its just one crazy guy!".

i suppose its good you oppose it. well. it's bad. but at least you'll fit in. rah rah gays rah rah immigrants. we wouldn't want you to inadvertently support a horrible party. just to check, you're alright with fucking over the NHS too right? (let's test your true loyalty to what makes britain british)

Your opinion. Nothing more...

Since Farage admitted that they don't have any domestic policy, nothing.

UKIP is a libertarian party. they want a flat tax and to massively cut the department of health. do you think they're going to steadfastly defend our national assets?

Making questionable decisions on economic policy is far better than calling for homeopathy to be covered on the NHS and denying climate change.

The former shows that the person is not an expert on economics. The latter suggests that the person is a loony who doesn't understand basic science.

So let's get this straight. I vote for a party (of which i'm not a member) and you expect me to be signed up to every dot and comma of that parties platform? I'll also be voting YES for Scottish Independence in September.

[Sturmtiger]

if you're going to complain about parties selling off national assets i expect you to not vote for a party that will sell off our national assets yes.

well, at least if you support scottish independence as well "UK" independence that is one point you're not a hypocrite on.

Except I did that and they lied. A famous example was Labour promising not to sell off National Air Traffic Control when in opposition. What did they do when in power?

and this is your excuse for voting for one that doesn't even pretend they won't and then complaining about it?

And how exactly do MEP's sell off national assets in the UK? Pray tell. I'm all ears...
