    Mind you, the Tories have a former IRA member as a councillor.

    Did she belong to the party at the time when it was defending the Warrington bombing?

    That’s why there’s no members, only “supporters”. All paying their donations into a company run by and benefitting..... who?

    Nope, it's definitely the "stomp our feet and hold our breath until we get the undefined, unspecified, unachievable version of Narnia" Brexit Party.

    Probably deserved by the UK though, and a microcosm of UK voters - no manifesto, no members, no intention of representing their constituencies, no idea how to build the UK up after they've torn it down, but happy to put all the blame onto "others". Snowflake behavior at it's finest.

    You are right. The intelligence of the UK population far exceeds that demonstrated on the CUK forums.

    Here’s Colin Parry’s timeline - his son died in Warrington.

    Take a good look at yourself, Yorkie, you’re not as bright as you think you are.

    Colin Parry OBE (@ColinParryPeace) on Twitter

    Colin Parry OBE on Twitter: "#Brexitparty candidate for NW England in the EU Elections, @Fox_Claire defended the IRA bombing of Warrington in 1993 because the IRA was ‘defending itself’! Voters should reflect on her suitability to represent them when they cast their vote"

    Colin Parry OBE on Twitter: "I give some credit to @Fox_Claire for having the gumption to call me today but the fact that she repeatedly refused to disavow her comments supporting the IRA bombing which took Tim’s and Johnathan’s young lives proves she hasn’t changed her original views"

    Please show me the hypocrisy?

    To not deny something does not make it fact.

    I believe I started with "I may or may not vote..."

    Keep going you're looking more foolish by the post

    As to who you vote for, I really don't care. If it's for the party that supports an IRA sympathiser, good luck justifying that to yourself. Would that make you "content"?

    And please tell me Who exactly am I voting for in the up coming European parliament elections? You answer could save me a lot of time contemplating my democratic right.

    In contrast the Liberal Democrats cost a little more – but tended to work a lot harder.
