Nigel Farage

[Lockhouse]

As a dutiful UKIP member I'm off to hear Nigel Farage speak in Eastleigh this evening as it's just down the road from me (and I got sent free tickets).

I'm nearly 50 and have never been to a political meeting before. Anyone care to offer their experiences?

Take a shaving foam pie just in case

Anyone else think he looks like Kiki the Frog from Hector's House?

A spare set of shoes to throw would be better

What you can expect is exactly the same as many other politicians can offer you;

- somebody else is to blame for all your troubles (e.g. EU, illegal immigrants, mooslims, 'the left', 'the rich' etc)
- I have the solution to all of these problems, so vote for me!
- inevitable disappointment when said politician later turns out to be at best a charlatan or at worst a criminal

Maybe because you don't understand politics and the fact that you're a UKIP fan might confirm this.

[Lockhouse]

Actually it was rather good.

He stood up, went on for half an hour speaking lots of common sense, took some questions, spoke more common sense. Went home.

I keep reading books about politics and British history and have done for the past 20-30 years. What a shame none of it appears to have stuck....!

When you say commone sense, do you actually mean paranoid xenophobic rambling?

Absolutely not. He's got a German missus for a start.
