    The amount of money I receive for promoting Gordons gin on these boards will remain a secret.

    My impression is that UKIP team have gone rather quiet.
    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    Not quite as they are unpaid cultists; at least the professionals get paid...

    There are a handful on this very board, I have no doubts about it.

    I was disappointed by the OP. I was hoping, given the thread title, that it was going to be a job offer.

    About bl00dy time that I got paid for this, methinks.

    I fink the SNP do pay their troll staff, simply because throughout the long night of the referendum many SNP posters assumed and stated that anti-gnat posters were paid trollsters, even little old me :-( . You project your own values onto others and all that etc

    UKIP don't like all this new fangled computer stuff.

    They are more of a notebook and pencil type party.

    And miss out on the chance to rant about foreigners in an overtly racist way without the risks of being a) further shunned by the few real life people who will tolerate your presence and b) thumped for being an offensive, and out of touch, buffoon, never!

    I doubt UKIP needs to pay for trolls its target demographic is people who are bitter at the world.


    In all honesty, although I'm sure paid trolling happens I doubt it's that common. Groups like the Conservatives/Labour etc are unlikely to be willing to risk exposure for paying people to post for them, especially as they can encourage people who support them to do it without payment anyway.
