Matthew Parris is a Twunt of the highest order. He thinks he can describe who votes for UKIP with a series of nasty little slurs. He really doesn't understand what is going on. Best stick to topics he's expert in like pillow biting.

Usual nonsensical double standards.
We encourage migrants to remain separate from broader society and cling to all their own cultural practices and beliefs, often more akin to those of 19th century Britain those of today's Britain, in the name of multiculturalism. Yet any white Brit who likes to be surrounded by a culture and engage with a history he can relate to is a little Englander whose views should be ignored.
Also he is yet another ignorant who seems to think only whites have any faults or prejudices. Maybe he should check the facts, that abuse of gays and anti-semitism for example, is not primarily by the white British. And look too at the facts on crime, welfare, social housing, educational achievement and health. The lowest performing groups in the UK are not the white British either.Last edited by xoggoth; 13 October 2014, 20:25.bloggoth

Originally posted by malvolio View PostI think people are getting the Clacton result out of proportion. He was a well liked local figure and reputedly an excellent constituency MP and also is a national name - for crap reasons, natch, but there's no such thing as bad publicity. It would be interesting to compare the vote split this time with the previous GE result when he stood as a Tory: I'm guessing he personally pulled close to the same percentage.
Meanwhile, the intelligent, committed and well informed voters of Clacton have elected an MP who is proven to lie to his party colleagues, represents a party with even fewer coherent policies than Millipede's rabble, put personal ambition ahead of UK's best interests and tried to sabotage the ruling Coalition. So I'm with Parrish; people get the MPs they deserve.
I do hope twits like Matthew Parris get their opinions out there more, especially Labour twits, but either party is fine, so they can ruin their parties' chances of a clear-cut majority in the next election and thus the Tories can be forced to work with UKIP. Then perhaps we can see something that approximates a conservative party emerging out of the ashes of the current middle-of-the-road, "compassionate conservative", vote-maximiser party that the Tories have turned into.
Carswell's "colleagues" are owed bugger-all, they're all just a step above used cars salesmen, if that.Last edited by Zero Liability; 13 October 2014, 20:45.Comment
