You all get to make plans for Nigel, while we are stuck with the Mayor of Simpleton :(

I don’t think the gay wedding holiday Cameron had with Obama helped his party much...

Time for anybody who's even remotely serious about avoiding economic disaster to get behind UKIP.

Really like this guy, and based on the reactions on some of the other You Tubes it looks like the Brits really do agree with him.

Frankly, I’m surprised you can put the words “free trade” and “communist” together without bursting out in laughter.

Communists use “free trade” to gain power. The communist globalists in the US are using free trade to eliminate US sovereignty. Yes, all globalists are pro communism.

But protectionists, who favor bigger government, intervention in the markets, and higher taxes, are freedom-loving capitalists. Got it.

No the freedom loving capitalists want less government control. Did you ever notice how many thousands of pages it takes for a free trade agreement? It’s not free trade. The same multinational corporations that push “free trade” are the ones pushing more domestic regulation in order to squash competition from mom and pop.

I noticed that you completely ignored that the New world order globalists have been supporting communism ever since Stalin. I guess you are still on the plantation. As long as you keep repeating that mantra, you won’t be able to see.

Absolutely, and so refreshing to see someone actually call it communism which is what it is! If you like a politician who doesn’t mince his words, this is one!

I think it has massively decreased sadly.

The Church here has had its values diluted in a ridiculous attempt to save itself. I always say that we in the UK are a few years up a dangerous path to riun than yourselves in the US, but I must say I have never seen anything as dangerous as the cult of personality surrounding the Obamas.

You would rather be regulated from Brussels?

The fat little toad in Scotland was selling Scottish independence from Britain while he was hopping off to Brussels to make Scotland a vassal state of the EUSSR “free” market.

Definately.

Our politicians have forgotten that they are supposed to
lead public opinion and EARN votes based on their own convictions rather than just changing positions to maximize their votes.

Without question they are gaining significant momentum.

It is pretty much unheard of for the main two parties (Labour, Conservatives) to be kicked out of 1st AND 2nd place in a by election for parliament.

When the fairies are displeased with anybody, they are said to send their elves to pinch them.

The ecclesiastics, when they are displeased with any civil state, make also their elves, that is, superstitious, enchanted subjects, to pinch their princes, by preaching sedition; or one prince, enchanted with promises, to pinch another.
