    OK, fun and games aside....

    I'll agree that Farage has said he doesn't want to attract the BNP and EDL defectors.... But talk is cheap.... and a lot of them have obviously migrated to what is a more acceptable party that still has a similar agenda re immigration, etc.

    You would be a lot more credible if you'd just admit UKIP has a serious problem with attracting racists and bigots, even if you then went on to claim it was trying to deal with it.

    But as it stands, this blind defence of UKIP in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, just makes you look foolish.

    When are we going to see evidence of your claims?


    Sorry to be anal about this, but Hamish still hasn't substantiated this.........

    Nah it won't, I'm done here. :)

    Not being funny or anything, but that looks like you've thrown your toys out of the pram because you can't have everything your way.

    What about the cesspit called Labour, the Tories, Lib Dem? The cesspit called Westminster? Seems to me you are wearing rose tinted glasses.

    Nope. I acknowledge each and every party has their share of misconduct, sleaze and scandal. This thread (as can be deducted from the thread title) is about UKIP.

    Since you consider it your duty to "expose" UKIP perhaps you should also put some effort into exposing some of the rouge elements of the Labour party.......you know.....to present a well rounded, tolerant view.

    Not at all, Sampy

    I'm having quite a good time watching you squirm and wriggle.

    I'll be around when the next UKIP turd surfaces :)

    But that picture was taken on a separate occasion prior to a fancy dress party which he attended dressed as a pirate.

    Why do you think there's a relationship between a hunting knife, a fancy dress party and a pirate?

    How do you know all this stuff anyway?

    That's funny, I didn't notice myself squirming and wriggling.

    I did almost wee myself laughing at your threat though.

    Squirm and wriggle? He's ripped apart everything you have said on numerous occasions. Hence why you are "leaving the thread" and claiming "he's just squirming and wriggling".

    You said you wanted to lay facts out. Why don't you do so instead of having a pop at literally everything? Sampong, regardless of your thoughts on the poster themselves, has given concise responses to everything you have tried.

    The thread has now come round not to making UKIP look bad, but your efforts to do so have gone so far, it's pushed the thread the other way.

    Think I have pretty much posted all the facts relating to this case. Obviously either you're too lazy to read back or you're hoping that you can win an argument now the facts are 20 pages or so back.

    Don't know really? Why is the world round? Would hot air rise if there were no gravity? How do cows know to sit down before it rains?

    That's quite interesting actually. I was recently speaking to an ex Labour voter who, frustrated with the Labour party, voted UKIP in the local elections, intended to vote for them in the European elections, but was undecided what to do for the general election.

    He then attended a UKIP party conference, I think it was Hove, and he told me he was glad that he left the kids at home with his missus, as when he entered the hall there were groups of people outside shouting "Nazi" and "Racist Scum" at all the attendees as they entered.

    He later found out that the protest group had connections to Labour, which made up his mind, and he swears never to vote for Labour again.
