It's just been on sky over a couple of UKIP guys and what they have said, Kaye Burley looked appalled when one of them said, the snow came and all my wife did was look through the window, if it gets any worse ..... I will have to let her back in the house.
You should have seen the look on her face, stupid mare, they are really getting their knickers in a twist. Lol

Re: UKIP closing in on the Tories.
Nice to see another UKIP candidate showing his true colour! Lenny Henry from Dudley needs to emigrate to a Black Country apparently. Doesn't he know that Dudley actually is in the Black Country - turning into a sit com not a political party.
When I was young I said to my mum, 'are the hills in the distance America?'

Re: UKIP closing in on the Tories.
A UKIP candidate has defended tweets in which he said comedian Lenny Henry should emigrate to a "black country" and compared Islam to the Third Reich.
William Henwood, who is standing in a council election, said he did not think the messages were offensive.
He tweeted after Henry said there should be more black and ethnic minority people in creative industries.
UKIP said it was a "non-racist, non-sectarian party whose members are expected to uphold these values".
Mr Henwood told BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins: "I think if black people come to this country and don't like mixing with white people why are they here? If he (Henry) wants a lot of blacks around go and live in a black country."
On another occasion Mr Henwood tweeted: "Islam reminds me of the 3rd Reich Strength through violence against the citizens."
One has to question why the other parties are spending hours behaving like secret police and trawling through the social media of UKIP candidates”
UKIP spokesman
Mr Henwood, who is standing in next month's local council elections in Enfield, north London, later declined to be interviewed on camera.
Roger Helmer, a UKIP MEP for the East Midlands who is standing for re-election, said Mr Henwood's comments did not represent his party and were only being reported because of a campaign against it.
Mr Helmer told the BBC: "We have an individual who has made totally unacceptable comments but you will find individuals like that in all parties, and behaviour like that in all parties.
"I understand why the media and the other parties want to focus on those particular claims about UKIP.
"We will deal with this appropriately when the party has had time to look at the facts and in the meantime we are quite clear that we are not a racist party and we do not accept comments of that kind."
'Duly investigated'
A UKIP spokesman said: "Any breach of our rules will be duly investigated and action will be taken.
"However one has to question why the other parties are spending hours behaving like secret police and trawling through the social media of UKIP candidates who are everyday men and women, rather than actually doing politics.
Two Sunday newspapers suggest UKIP is currently leading the polls ahead of May's Euro election
"Perhaps if they did they would be better able to tackle us on policy, rather than having to rely on smear campaigns to try to undermine UKIP's increasing popularity.

Re: UKIP closing in on the Tories.
Tory promises they have changed have been exposed as a sham.
This calendar of calamities shows how party members have continually been caught insulting voters and making racist remarks or sexist jokes.
Conservative leader David Cameron has tried to ditch the "Nasty Party" image and said: "Our members are the most socially-engaged, the most civic-minded, the most neighbourly bunch of people in Britain."
But this dossier of shame, compiled by Labour - called A Year In The Nasty Party - proves that the Tories are still as bad as ever.
January 15, 2009: Chester Conservative councillor Richard Lowe apologies after going to a New Year fancy-dress party dressed as Madeleine McCann.
January 28: Nottinghamshire Tory councillor David Taylor is criticised for hanging a topless calendar in his office.
February 25: Cumbria county council leader Tim Stoddard says that helping poor families pay for school uniforms is a waste of money.
February 28: Bolton Conservative councillor Bob Allen apologises after being slammed for posting a picture of a gorilla alongside a comment about an Asian colleague on a blog.
March 9: Leicestershire Tory councillor Robert Fraser claims gypsies would "stick a knife in you as soon as look at you".
March 11: Peterborough Conservative councillor Wayne Fitzgerald calls voters "idiots" and "morons" and tells one to "boil their head" after they disagreed with his plans for a new water park.
April 14: Derbyshire Tory councillor Patrick Clark calls gay people "sexual deviants".
April 30: A Conservative councillor in Essex, Chris Walker, apologises for saying British women should walk nude in the street to make Islamic men commit suicide because their religion forbids them from seeing any naked woman other than their wife.
May 27: Former Conservative Party candidate Ross Coates says "all women should be sterilised" to stop them getting pregnant at work, employment tribunal is told.
May 29: The leader of East Sussex county council, Peter Jones, says he is "good value for money" after receiving £91,000 in allowances and expenses in just one year.
June 12: Tory MP Peter Lilley attacks the help given to pregnant women, saying payments for food and baby equipment are "complete rubbish".
June 24: Kidderminster Conservative councillor Mumshad Ahmed, who twice drove while disqualified, apologises after a court bans him from driving for two years.
July 2: An investigation blames Stretford Conservative councillor Ian Mullins for a vicious internet campaign against a female colleague that compared her to Hitler.
July 7: London Assembly member Brian Coleman refuses to publicise expenses saying "only the mad, bad and the sad" wanted to see. He adds: "I'm not pandering to mob rule."
August 21: Gosport Conservative chairman Alan Scard says he would only pick a woman to stand in one of the party's safest seats if she was good looking. Asked if he was happy to support David Cameron's call to put more women in Parliament, he says: "If they are attractive, yeah, I would go for it."
August 26: Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan describes the NHS as a "60-year-old mistake" and hails Enoch Powell as his political hero.
September 1: Oxford University Conservative Association is condemned after students hold a sick competition to see who could tell the most offensive racist joke.
September 9: Tooting councillor Susan John-Richards quits the Conservative Party after claiming she endured three years of sexual discrimination from the Tory group.
October 15: A former Mayor of Brent, councillor Bertha Joseph, is suspended after taking money intended for a charity ball and spending it on clothes.
October 22: Former adviser to Margaret Thatcher and vicechairman of Goldman Sachs Lord Griffiths defends bankers' bonuses and says taxpayers should "tolerate the inequality".
November 2: Disgraced Tory MP David Wilshire compares the treatment of politicians over their expenses claims to the plight of Jews in Nazi Germany.
November 20: An Orpington councillor, Peter Hobbins, is suspended from the Conservative Party after sending emails ranting that Asian prospective parliamentary candidates do not have "normal sounding" English names.

Re: UKIP closing in on the Tories.
Maybe but not as consistently cringeingly embarrassing and offensive (unintentional or not) as what we have seen recently. Having said all that, the main parties need to be taking note because, even though some of these UKIP idiots are really repugnant with their racist comments and attitudes, similar if not identical views are increasing within the electorate.

Re: UKIP closing in on the Tories.
The prisons are full to bursting as it is, but these greedy MPs are filling em up even more.
Denis MacShane admits guilt on MP expenses.
Former MP Denis MacShane has been jailed for six months for expenses fraud after admitting submitting 19 fake receipts amounting to £12,900.
He is the fifth MP to get a prison sentence after 2009's expenses scandal.
MacShane, 65, was a Labour MP for 18 years and served as Europe minister under Tony Blair between 2002 and 2005.
Mr Justice Sweeney said MacShane had "deliberately created misleading and deceptive invoices", and "considerable" dishonesty was involved.

Re: UKIP closing in on the Tories.
Ms Miller got off lightly.
UKIP will do well in local and European elections but when the crunch comes at General Election time, voters will return, in the main, to the two main parties. They know that UKIP (like the Lib Dems) are incapable of forming a Government which is capable of running the country. The choice is between the Conservative (nasty) party who currently have a leader who you can't believe anything he says (a bit like Tony Blair) or a Labour party which history tells us has screwed up the economy every time they have been in Government. Their last period in Government broke all records in this respect.
Some choice.

Re: UKIP closing in on the Tories.
Not much of a choice is it mate? You might be right at the election, I hope not, as long as UKIP become the third mainstream party and cast the lying Judas Lib/Dems to the political dustbin, then that will do for me.johnh wrote:Ms Miller got off lightly.
