UKIP - worth a try?

[Arturo Bassick]

That's what the Germans said in the 1930s.

Might be worth retrying, I look quite good in black

UKIP; Scrap the European Arrest Warrant.

That's a good one, along with all the other stuff about clamping down on crime. Go to Britain, rob a house, mug and kill a few natives and then fook orf back to le continent (in their car) knowing you'll never be arrested.

What a bunch of morons.

What a bunch of morons.

WHS. And the people who are stupid enough to support a bunch of simplistic, sloganeering nitwits.

Everyone has always said that, and that's why they have always had the same parties gradually making things worse.

That's not historically true. Labour used to be a minority party.

I thought this item was quite revealing about the UKIP's mindset:

The British people must decide through an immediate referendum if we stay in the EU or to come out and claw back independent power over our national life. We do not have to be ruled by this regime to work with our European neighbours who depend on us for their markets.

Do they really think Germany is dependent on the UK market, as opposed to India and China?
Bunch of doddery old farts stuck in the 19th Century, believing Britain is still a major power, like I said their (lack of) economic policy would leave the UK a tired, poor backwater living off past glories.

It's related to this gem;

make increased defence spending a clear priority, even in these difficult times, to underpin Britain’s global role.

Well it would seem that some people think that UKIP is not worth trying. So let me ask you, what is your alternative? Personally Im not seeing one, all I'm seeing on offer is the same old crap that has ruined this country and made me hate it.

Isn't that also the 'same old crap' who were in power during the UK's periods of success and growth over the last century, won two world wars, etc?

An alternative; perhaps people should remember the circumstances in which the current lot took over and accept that it'll take more than a couple of years to sort things out, however hard they try. Some of their policies will work well, some less well, some will fail altogether, but it seems they're finally getting public spending under control, which is really the number one priority if you want to deal with all the other issues people raise.

Have you lived outside the UK ever? What in particular do you hate about it?
