Especially gratifying, and worth playing the video again to locate the following quote, was the alarm expressed by The Independent Columnist, Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, from which I quote (ff 49:56)
Everything they say, A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y..... E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G ..... T-H-E-Y..... S-A-Y ..... I-S ..... C-O-N-T-E-M-P-T-A-B-L-E..... T-O..... M-E!
worthy a hearty chuckle . . .
Then ff50:55 to continue:
What has to happen between now and the elections that are coming up is that the media has to be kind of controlled in terms of how often Farage gets to the airwaves. I think we should be very, very worried.
Censorship The Independent way.
UK's Labour/Tory/msm are frightened by UKIP's popularity and are working overtime/doubletime to prevent their success in the coming election cycle.
“we need to do more to keep drugs out of our prisons.”
This statement floors me. It’s a serious problem. Prison is the most regulated environment known to man and they STILL can’t control drugs?! Our drug warriors still think they can control drugs in a free society? In Saudi Arabia, they behead drug dealers. And every year, they still have more to behead. The strongest public punishment, and they *still* can’t stop the flow of drugs.
How about we legalize it, tax it, regulate the harsh stuff to addicts only, and put the drug dealers out of business?
Oh, and stop stripping innocent Americans of their civil liberties as well?
From the smarmy (what else?) dubbed narrative (with reference to the older age group that supports UKIP):
"The ideas that Farage champions - like freedom and self-reliance - are old-fashioned values. UKIP represents the noble ideas of another era." (emphasis on "old-fashioned" with a condescending downturn on "another era".) @29:30
As if it were centuries ago and not mere decades. Well, DUH! That generation still remembers the fight against the previous European fascism - unlike the young hipsters who think it will all turn out well because multi-culturalism is such a great thing...
