OT; Desperate or what?
Mark Reckless was our local Tory MP and has defected to UKIP.
Not that Cameron is worried or anything, but the area is being swamped with Tories! We've had three letter from DC 'himself', dozens of Tory politicians visiting the area - having previously ignored it, a glossy full colour newsletter showing the two prospective Tory candidates and today teams of canvassers who don't know the area having been bussed in from far & wide. Is that the sound of puckering arseholes I can hear? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

I would agree with you there, yet you're saying in your reply to Bill Wright that UKIP's energy policy is full of drivel. Not exactly consistent, are you? Far be it from me to defend Harry, but you don't have to agree with every policy of a political party to give them your vote. Its generally a matter of which one you disagree with the least. -- Chris |

Yes, of course, but he's so aggressively anti-nuclear and pro wind, solar etc that I don't see how he could possibly stomach UKIP's energy policy, or do anything other than vote Green. I'm sorry, but are you seriously expecting consistent thought from those who blindly support a party who now admits their last published manifesto was "drivel", and whose party leader denies having read it - despite his name being on the introduction to it? FFS, we've got some friends, one of whom is a staunch UKIP supporter, the other leaning gently towards. The sheer lunacy of a gay couple supporting the most homophobic party out there has been pointed out to them, but they just seem unwilling to accept it. UKIPs entire campaigning seems to be to play on fears without actually worrying about reality or consistency. They really are the Daily Mail party. |

"We would rather the legal and religious endorsements of wedlock are separate." Isn't homophobic. Forcing people with deeply held religious beliefs to perform gay marriage ceremonies isn't right.

I think a lot of people will vote UKIP simply to give the established political parties a good kicking. It's going to be a protest vote. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

I don't pay much attention to what the parties say they all lie and bicker amongst themselves. But that is my impression of UKIP. I think a lot of people will vote UKIP simply to give the established political parties a good kicking. It's going to be a protest vote. I think you are right. Trouble is people ought to be voting for the candidate that they feel is going to work for and represent them the best *not* the candidate that wears a particular colour. Maybe this is why those MP's that have "defected" and been relected under a different colour have been so. They actually care and do a good job. not just kowtow to a particular colour of whip. -- Cheers Dave. |

I don't see why it's any different from forcing people with deeply held religious beliefs to allow guide dogs in their shops and taxis, or gay people in their B&Bs. If they don't wish to comply with the law they have the choice to not be a priest, taxi driver or B&B operator. However removing the ability of discriminatory religious groups to carry out that which should be the function of the state seems sensible. Owain |

It's all very well doing that in a by-election, and I've done something similar myself, but do it in a general election and the outcome may well be a mess that the voters will regret for a long time. -- F |

Are you sure harry uses more energy than an average family? He just made that up. I have no heating bill for a start. And very little transport energy costs. (Electric car) I generate more electricity than I use. I am getting in more PV panels too BTW all being well. As many as our local transformer will stand. The important aspects of UKIP are leaving the EUSSR and fixing the immigration problems. Much of the rest of their policies are bollix. As you would expect with a single issue party. There are a lot of weird people there. But no more than other political parties. At least they mean well. I have been to various meetings, I can guarantee this. Not like the crooks in the LIBLABCON parties. (Think of the Royal Mail fiasco) I just want to see them get sufficient leverage to force our departure from the EU. Or at least a referendum. Because Cameron lies, he has no intention of having a referendum. He can't get any concessions from the EU, it's what they are all about. Socialist control freaks from basket case failed ex-commie economies. |
