Reply to: How many of these policies do you disagree with?

Oops, a fingering issue.

Nor carcasm smilies...

Is that like described by J.G.Ballard? Or when someone laughs at the fact you drive a G-Wiz?

[d000hg]

That was rather the point. Do I need to put sarky smilies every time?

Nor carcasm smilies, but making it clearer whether you were referring to UKIP's stance or the response it enjoyed would've helped the simpler minds.

the hetrophobic comment was sort of the point he was denounced as homophobic because of the stance on HIV.

I thought he was denounced for using a really small population which in the past (and in certain circles, today) has been inferred as being the "gay disease".

If he wants to choose something that costs the NHS money, why not choose cancer or child-birth or any other myriad of diseases which cost the NHS significantly more than the 3000 HIV cases and 192 AIDS cases?

Or alternatively, he could highlight the costs to the NHS that drinking and smoking incur each year.

Why ...the stance on HIV.

Which is racist and heterophobic, as the highest level of AIDS is in African countries among the heterosexuals.

Why racist is there any suggestion Africans are genetically predisposed to the condition?

The use of the smear racism to excuse pre meditated actions of people has to stop.

Complaining about aggressive begging is not racist but it seems to be presented as such.

Don't get me wrong I have sympathy for the infected Africans working in mines to dig out gold & jewels for first world jewelry I reserve my distaste for the companies that abuse them this way.

Not forgetting the little upset in 1745.

That's a rebellion, not a war.

Foreign rebellions are OK, just not foreign wars. I haven't been able to find out the UKIP policy on incursions or police actions as yet.

Would a war with Scotland be a foreign war?

8. Stopping our endless, foreign wars

It's just in case their voters think it's 1650 again, and we have another civil war.

That would be OK.

Against they suggested importing HIV positive people was a bad idea, immediately branded anti gay.

The racist ones, the stupid ones, the ones that would be actively harmful, and the ones that are merely empty promises designed to drum up support among the gullible but which will never be acted upon.

That leaves… umm…

Although a few on the list do seem to have rather a simplistic Daily Mailish quality about them, I don't see how by any stretch of the imagination more than a small handful of them could be lumped into any of the categories you listed.

And any that did prove to be unworkable could be reconsidered or repealed. That's the point: Once out of the EU the UK would be free to do that, instead of being lumbered with EU policies that we can't repeal!

FWIW, the only ones I disagree with, to varying extents, are: 3, 6, 7, 11, 15, 30, 45, 66

[darmstadt]

The ones that talk about actually controlling borders and having Australian points immigration system, I see, those racists b@stards!

I wonder how many kippers would be allowed into Australia? Not too many I think, as yer average kipper wouldn't bring anything useful into the country

8. Stopping our endless, foreign wars

Did they think if they didn't specify they were foreign wars, people wouldn't know which wars they were referring to?

And I thought UKIP were one of the parties who wanted to increase the defence budget in line with our NATO membership.

69. Ensuring a high standard of English speakers in the NHS

What a poorly-constructed sentence that is.
