UKIP Interview

So what's the Polish, or whatever, for F* bucket? That's an idea, if we all learnt to swear in an obscure language we could do it whenever we felt like without offending anyone.

Doesn't work.

Someone will answer you and tell you not to swear in front of their children.

“This is UKIP’s MEP candidate for the South East. She described herself as ‘Nigel’s number two’. She is also their press advisor and in the course of this photo being taken:

“She made personal comments about my body size and when I told her I would quote her widely she said, ‘I don’t care where you f***ing post this, just f**k off!’

She described herself as ‘Nigel’s number two’

Are Nigel's number twos different from anyone elses?

Worth noting that argumentum ad hominem is not necessarily a logical fallacy.

When someone claims that there is no gravity onboard the international space station because everything is floaty, it's perfectly acceptable to question the speaker's credibility by pointing out that they have never been to school (if it's true).

When someone claims that there is no gravity onboard the international space station because everything is floaty, it is a an example of an ad hominem fallacy to suppose that the speaker is incorrect because he likes to wear women's underwear in private.

Just saying'.

Good to see a bit of honesty from politicians rather than staged managed presentation.

Really? So its okay for a prospective candidate for office to use personal insults against a member of the public and then to swear at them. This is also the woman who last week said:

Ms Atkinson said the party had contacted Sussex Police’s chief constable and called for any protesters who “call our supporters fascists, hurl other abuse or any physical assault” to be arrested.

When we passed the "protesters", they were howling absolutely foul language at the ukip campaigners, despite their being multiple children around including my niece. They were not merely "standing with placards". The ukip members should have of course not have responded to it, but at the very least, be honest about your provocation.

....who knows. The first casualty in war is truth.

I don't know but kentdave sounds like a UKIP supporter and Daily Mail comments writer to me. These were the 3 Greens there:

The attractive face of the Greens, apparently. Harassing public in Ashford today. Many complained, one to police
