    I will still defend UKIP against the unwarranted claims many band around on here. Defending a party does not mean you HAVE to vote for them.

    And where exactly on this thread did I say you voted for them... Who is looking stupid, again, now?

    I don't need high ground when your so determined to slither around in the sewers.

    You don't need too.

    You had assumed I was going to vote UKIP.

    Otherwise, if you hadn't assumed my intentions, what on earth is this all about.....?

    You might be trying to forget how long of you've defending, and championing, UKIP on here but everyone else won't. I've told you repeatedly in the past that it was an embarrasment, and self-denial about it now isn't making you look any better. It's good to see that you've finally stopped though!

    As I say, I'll still defend UKIP if I feel its warranted. I've said UKIP have messed up in the past too. Nothing there has changed. I can defend a political party and actually vote for a different one. Might cause you some confusion, but most people will be able to understand, I'm sure. I'm not some sort of die in the wool loony, I can see good, and bad, in all parties.

    I can also see completelty false information when its used to slander a party. That happens a lot to UKIP, hence my defence when I feel I wish to contribute. Is ithis OK with you?

    All I said last night was that the vote was bas basically the straw that broke the camels back. I wasn't sure whether I'd vote tory or labour. But after tory MPs voted to keep their snoughts well and firmly troughing, it was enough (along with everything else) to write them off.

    I voted UKIP in the Euro elections. My vote would be a completely wasted vote if I did the same in the GE due to local issues.

    Wow, look what you can do!!! :shocked:

    You've actually edited something stated to... (and, this, well this Sir...it's just genius!!!).... make it look like something else was stated. Brilliant!! Just ruddy brilliant! How hilarious is that! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Well Done, Hamish... Well done you :) :T

    Be careful, Hamish. Clearly he's defending you. But don't expect him to vote for you.

    No I didn't. I know you've been blindly blinkered and praising even the most excessively stupid things they do on here, which is what I've been calling you out for; I couldn't give a monkey's who you actually vote for.

    Didn't bother reading the rest of your post as you seem even more puerile than usual at the moment.

    Yeah, that's easy to say as laptops and iPhones weren't available when you were young.

    We used to walk 6 miles home after parties as we couldn't afford taxis. Yet people seem to use like buses these days. All boils down to choice. Many people seem to view having something as a right. Rather than actually earning something. What's changed since the early 90's is the additional 2.5 billion people that have joined the lower skilled labour markets. They all want a Western life style. Something for nothing. The era has run it's course.
