I see, Chris Pain claims his facebook page was hacked.
Yep, that explains it all then. :rotfl:
Oh, hold on...news just in...Chris Pain being investigated for another facebook entry, made last year."Good Day and welcome to a brand new edition of 'ASYLUM''. It reads: "Today's program features another chance to take part in our exciting competition: HIJACK AN AIRLINER and win A COUNCIL HOUSE!"
He continues: "Anyone can play, provided they don't already hold a valid British Passport, and you only need one word of English:
'ASYLUM'
"Prizes include all-expenses-paid accommodation, cash benefits starting at £180 a week and a chance to earn thousands more begging, mugging, burgling and accosting drivers at traffic lights.
This competition is open to everyone buying a ticket or stowing away on one of our partner airlines, ferry companies or Eurostar."

Probably hacked also, by the Mirror maybe, in anticipation of his electoral success a year later, yes? Such clairvoyants at the Mirror. :rotfl: Mr. Pain doesn't even deny this entry as the 'hacking' claim sounds a bit silly now.
Uh-oh..hello hello..what do we have here?

Why would that be?
Keep on digging that hole, Sampong.

Chris Pain previously insisted his Facebook page was hacked, but did not respond to a request for comment on the latest postings.

As always, when you're running out of evidence and have nowhere else to go - it's time to pull out the ROTFL smiley out.
Obviously when we see that - we just know you are of course always correct.
But where is your evidence his FB account wasn't hacked? In a court of law someone has to be proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Perhaps that should also apply in day to day life before making defamatory comments.Mr._Pricklepants wrote: »Probably hacked also, by the Mirror maybe, in anticipation of his electoral success a year later, yes?

Are you suggesting that a FB account cannot be hacked?Mr._Pricklepants wrote: »Uh-oh..hello hello..what do we have here?

Why would that be?
The "anti racism pledge" was nothing more than a political stunt by the Labour councilors and is not worth the paper it is written on. All elected councilors are required by law to serve all of the public equally and the UKIP councilors position is that they will be guided BY the law and not some tin pot document put together by labour.Keep on digging that hole, Sampong.
It's you who is digging the hole. You have yet to provide ANY evidence that what you have posted about Chris Pain is substantiated as opposed to being a direct attempt to smear UKIP by left wing trolls, activists and hackers.
How can he be racist when he has close friends of a number of ethnic backgrounds. Many of which are now stepping forward to defend him. One of which, a gentleman of Indian background, has invited anybody with any doubts to get in touch with him so that he can clarify the position.
I could put the two of you in touch if you wish? I doubt that you will take up that invite though - because you would rather sound of on here on the back of a Daily Mirror article.
I'm not digging a hole at all Mr Pricklepants. All I see is a genuine and innocent individual under attack from vile individuals like yourself, who would smear his name with no evidence.0 -

My point is that regardless of all your, quite commendable efforts to slam the party, they continue to enjoy, at the moment, increased popularity.
So, what they are getting right, must be outweighing everything they get wrong.....and indeed, they will get things wrong, and they will attract certain people.
But attracting certain people isn't unique to UKIP. Labour attracts some die hard "won't work, I'm entitled". Tories attract some die hard rigth wingers who want to see all benefits cut off for those beneath them.
BUT....the overiding point is....UKIP continue to increase in popularity at the moment. More and more are identifying with them. More and more appear to like the language used (as in the straight to the point stuff). So all your efforts are a little wasted.0 -

Really.
I have posted several links about UK councillors, regional heads and even the top man, spouting the vilest racist abuse and all you can come up with is "his facebook account was probably hacked"
:rotfl: (ROFL smiley especially for you).
Don't worry, I won't be running out of evidence anytime soon. The UKIP cesspit just keeps on giving.
Anyway, it looks like Mr. Pain is under investigation by UKIP. Seems like your party is less convinced of his innocence as you are.0 -

You've basically posted every smear news story you can, yet have no evidence to back any of it up. Absolutely none. I don't have the time nor the inclination to address every one of your aggressive, senseless posts but I have provided alternative views to two of them, Chris Pain being one and the other Alex Wood. Neither of which you have responded to with anything of any substance. In fact, you have purposefully ignored the posts.Mr._Pricklepants wrote: »and all you can come up with is "his facebook account was probably hacked"
EH?
All I can come up with?
I've posted substantially about Chris Pain - see link to radio interview and glowing testimonials in this post; http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=61370245&postcount=116
And I have also offered you to put you in touch with one of his friends of an ethnic minority background which, as predicted you haven't taken up this offer.
And you say "all I can come up with"????
You can't be serious.:rotfl: (ROFL smiley especially for you).
I can't actually find the smiley that has the sign I would like to show you......Mr._Pricklepants wrote: »Don't worry, I won't be running out of evidence anytime soon. The UKIP cesspit just keeps on giving.
you seem to misunderstand what "evidence" is. I guess you won't be running out of evidence because you never had any in the first place.Mr._Pricklepants wrote: »Anyway, it looks like Mr. Pain is under investigation by UKIP. Seems like your party is less convinced of his innocence as you are.
They have to do an internal investigation on everyone that gets slated by the press. As far as I know Alex Wood has been allowed to stay, because the news stories turned out to be rubbish.0 -

The ones in my ESOL classes certainly did and that was over 7 years ago. They were all working: Rumanian, Bulgarian, Slovakian, Polish etc..0
