UKIP Vs Good Old fashioned self interest

[vetran]

Actually I think that what DA's done in his original post is exactly what agents do when they put together contract advert; copy and paste some high falluting words from a (possibly) more worthwhile commentator and then string them together in any old order as if they're so impressive they'll actually form an argument of their own volition.

made me laugh!

It is easier to say that presumably than it is to argue my point.

OK I see that you are trying to shift the argument.

Nonsense, you are avoiding the question.

I think I've demonstrated that however valid your objections to the EU might be, your ability to construct an argument leaves an awful lot to be desired.

You started with an ad-hominem rant that almost contains more falsehoods and non-sequiturs than words, and now claim, after repeatedly avoiding a question that nobody's arguing your point.

If this is an indication of the quality of argument to be expected from the anti-EU campaign then we're all stuffed; decent opposition can actually lead to better ideas, but not like this.

You don't live on the council estates where immigrants live. You only see the UKIP problem when some Romanian tries to sell you a big issue and maybe obstructing your path into Peter Jones. If you just said "look , I am making a nice pile out of this EU thing - we only have one life I do not give a sh*t about how it affects everyone else... screw UKIP" then we ,ight have some respect for the argument.

I grew up on a council estate and an extremely rough one at that, then when I was a contractor lived in a council flat.

Why a council flat when presumably you were earning sufficient to afford your own accommodation?

I am making the point that you people are very privileged and enjoy substantial rewards from the policies of the EU. Judging by the hysterical non arguments you are making about UKIP who are essentially made up of people like you (who work in the private sector - self employed -small business - as opposed to lawyers bankers public sector workers) I can only conclude that you see your rights to enrich yourselves within the structures of the EU as sacrosanct and more important than anything else the EU does/doesn't do. UKIP is a threat to this way of life to you and must be stopped at all costs even if there may be a point to what they are trying to achieve or what people who support them are trying to achieve.

UKIP Hierarchy:

Nigel Farage - Commodities broker in the City
Paul Nuttall - Between academia and politics, Paul Nuttall lived and worked in Barcelona before returning to Merseyside to lecture history at Hugh Baird College and Liverpool Hope University.
Steve Crowther - no one seems to know: Dr. Eric Edmond's Blog: Who is Steve Crowther?
Neil Hamilton - Barrister specialising in taxation law. I think everyone knows the rest. Apparently no longer in the hierarchy but the website says other
Stuart Wheeler - Barrister, Investment Banker, pioneer of Spread Betting. Made the largest ever single donation to the Tories (GBP 5m)
Lisa Duffy - no one seems to know
Tim Aker - as above

Intersting there are no biographies of Ukip leaders or candidates on their website, maybe because the majority of them are not 'made up of people like you (who work in the private sector - self employed -small business' but more like the Tories
