"A chance for us to deal with the immigration problem and reclaim our country." How?.....the vast majority of immigrants from outside the EU are now themselves British citizens. UKIP talk a good game, the truth is they will be relatively toothless in many of their ideas. | |||

"A chance for us to deal with the immigration problem and reclaim our country." I'm a foreigner, went to Uni in Wales and live in England. Run a small business (for 20 years now) where would you like me to go exactly? My kids were born here and go to primary school, their mum is British so do they stay here with her or come home to Canada with me? Answers on a postcard! UKIP are a party based on dislike of something, they've got no substance and most candidates are vacuous . In fact the statement you've made reinforces that vacuousness, all soundbite and no substance | |||

They made a deal which involved them breaking every election promise they made, then get sidelined at every policy meeting and vote. They fucked up, and now, hopefully, they're getting showed how badly they fucked up. | |||

"They made a deal which involved them breaking every election promise they made, Sounds like any of the other parties then. When was the last time a government kept to its manifesto ????? They may not be perfect but they are making some very big waves." I don't think anyone who has been around the UK electoral system actually expects political parties to keep all of their promises, but the Lib Dems folded like tissue paper when their manifesto came into conflict with the Tory manifesto. Things like prescription charges, student loans and suchlike were tossed away as soon as they thought they could grasp some power. We used to have a Lib Dem council in York. That's changed now because people are so pissed off with them. | |||

"Maybe single issue parties are the new politics. Scrap party-led government and have a government run in parts. Vote for lots of parties and the ones with the most lead on the department that covers their single issue. It will be interesting to see if UKIP develop some policies now, ready to hold the king-maker role in 2015." totally agree with you ,but labour are a bit short on policies at the moment and the Tories are changing week to week depending on the issue,the libs....seem to have gone stum on their support for europe (how opportunist is that) I think ukip is a healthy reaction to politicions ,lieing ,cheating and displaying that they will defend anyone but the people who put them in power. We may actually get that referendum promised by all parties previously,and although its difficult to say how a referendum would go ,at least our destiny would be in our own hands again, and the Democratization of the european ideal. I love have a 4th party to shaft the tri-party system. UKIP right place, right time, and a welcome knee in the bollocks for the main parties. | |||

"Definitely UKIP for me. I want our democracy back. I want freedom of speech. I don't want Leveson. I don't want the govt telling me how to think - the govt is my servant not my master. I want common law to be saved because it means that we are allowed to do whatever is not specifically banned. Napoleonic law means the opposite. We are freeborn and do not need our rulers to grant us freedom to do things. That freedom is inherent and inalienable. I want internationalism, not supranatonalism. My vote must count. All our votes should count, not be disregarded by the new, bureaucratic ruling class. It has to be UKIP" Dunno why, but I was thinking of Braveheart as I read that!  | |||

"All ukip say is immigration and europe. Strip it down and there is little else. On europe their limit of 50k a year is now under review so god knows what figure will be next. Yes immigration is a concern but do not forget we have folk that emigrate too. On europe they delude themselves and others in that we blame everything thats wrong on europe truth is there is not great difference between what we get out of europe as in funding for projects here. We have a rebate which is substantial so not all about europe is bad. We are no longer living in a world where we are a major player despite what government think or say. The little englanders need to get to grips the world has and will continue to evolve either you keep up with or fall by the wayside. " Your absolutely right about globilisation ,and the little Englander concept ,but the denial of a vote on Europe was and is still undemocratic. Europe has never been a manifesto issue where the people could vote to express there will. Yet powers we borrow to the "in-power" parties has been given away at various points since 1972. When a referendum was offered on the superstate,the parties actually slid out of their promises, even forcing the irish to have a second referendum because they didnt like the first result (accompanied by open threats of economic sanctions),that for me showed how out of touch and undemocratic the Eurocrats are with regard to the superstate concept. UKIP may be a one or two issue party ,but what juicy issues to stand on ,especially when with globilisation we are linking to a 350million population instead of a global one. Besides I am sure in terms of trade Europe will accomodate us,after all Germany alone will not want to lose the 1.1 million cars sold in the UK every year, thats without the Italians and French. I dont know the answer Re:Europe ,i havent made up my mind ,all i do know is I want a fucking vote ,for the sake of all the people who have died defending democracy ,for me UKIP is a means to an end. PS) we contribute far more than we get out even with the 3.9 bn rebate we get back . | |||

"Many freedoms have been eroded. Did you know that you can be put in the cells because of somethig you say. The legal test is not whether what you said was offensive - but whether someone 'perceives' it as racist. What better way is there for a tyrant - even a tuppeny hapenny politically correct tyrant - to silence someone. Did you know that you can be sacked from some jobs if your opinions are deemed unacdceptable - like the old West German verufsverbot. Is that hilarious to you? If it is, you value your autonomy very poorly - please don't rate mine the same." Could you please elaborate a bit on the "Berufsverbot" (is that what you meant?) I am curious because I come from overthere and am really interested. | |||

Which point in time would you like to go back to? 1950's? When being homosexual was a criminal offence? Or perhaps when you could refuse to employ someone because they were catholic or black? Or you couldn't get a job due to being perceived as a Communist. Or you couldn't join some clubs if you were a woman? You hark back to a day which never existed. Freedom of press perhaps? When was that? DNotice anyone? My autonomy is just fine thanks, the mental capacity act allows me freedoms beyond those ever granted before - the freedom to make my own decision even if they're unwise or strange, I have freedoms of movement that as a catholic I would never have had as a child, I can get access to my own records medical and otherwise that I couldn't before. Don't foist your false ideals onto my freedoms thanks | |||

You believe that people can be "silenced" by claiming simply they've been offended! Care to back that up with an actual legal example where what you claim Has Actually happened not hearsay or gossip! Thought police? Methinks your tin hat is slipping... If you're talking about perception of threat then that's been in force since 1861 under the offences against the person act. | |||

What about the man who was arrested for asking a police officer if his horse was gay?" Those are not examples, they are from news articles. An example is an actual legal case where the person was successfully prosecuted. Incitement to hatred is not criticism. | |||

"What about the Peter Tatchell case and Hizb-ut-tahrir? What do you have to say about that? What about the police horse case? It wasn't about religion. It was deemed to be homophobic - but the principle is the same. Tell me how these laws aren't oppressive?" And they were sucesfully prosecuted were they? Being arrested doesn't mean anything the legal case is in court The gay horse thing was dropped in July 2006, almost 7 years ago. Please don't tell me all your arguments are based on cases that never took place? | |||

Now, whether the cps will prosecute or not, is usually because of being in the public interest or not. BUT, you will STILL get arrested for it! | |||

"The police are bringing lots of cases: Hotel owners were charged (although later acquitted) following a religious discussion with a Muslim guest. Try the following: the case of a preacher who had walked the streets of Bournemouth with a sign displaying the words “Stop Immorality" - successfully prosecuted. Wake up! It's your country! We're all freeborn and no-one should have the right to tell us what we can and can't say." If we are free, why do people feel the need to tell others where they can n cant stay? | |||

"They made a deal which involved them breaking every election promise they made, Sounds like any of the other parties then. When was the last time a government kept to its manifesto ????? They may not be perfect but they are making some very big waves. 1997 New Labour.....probably kept more pledges than any modern government since the second world war. Kept more ?? isnt quite the same as sticking to your promises though. In any other field they would be sacked for breach of contract. Lets start with these 12 1997 manifesto pledges then.... 1.Devolution for Wales and Scotland with their own parliaments and law making powers 2.Reform of the House of Lords 3.Working to bring the Olympics to Britain 4.Major London Underground improvements and investment 5.Minimum Income Guarantee for pensioners 6.Decentralisation of the Crown Prosecution Service 7.More frontline Police Officers 8.Firearms Amendment Act 9.Real Terms rise in NHS spending 10.Cut NHS waiting lists 11.National Minimum Wage 12.Working Family Tax Credits Twist it how you like....all 1997 pledges that were delivered
the last labour government were really good for britain,had gordon brown been as competent a party leader,as he was chancelor,labour would still be in power.

Politics but for the very few has nerver been about altruism, it has for the majority been a calculated, profitable career.

We will always ( well at least until the education system starts educating kids rather than pandering to trendy ideas and political dogma ) need to import highly skilled people, but we certainly don't need to import manual labour while we have an army of kids on the dole, and that is what IS happening. As for UKIP. It is no secret that they are short on policies (Labour haven't exactly got a bucket full either) but they have certainly rattled a few cages. What they do stand for, lower taxes, the return of Grammar schools, and withdrawal from the ECHU are a pretty good start in my view. I'm not 100% (only 99%) with them on a full withdrawal from the EU. I would prefer to see the whole rotten edifice ripped apart. | |||

The 'mainstream' parties have consistently withheld the truth about the ultimate aim of European integration for at least the last 40 years - the same period that the UK has been a member. Why? What, exactly, is the ultimate aim of the EU? Full economic, social and sovereign integration on a federal basis - including one language??? That is NOT what I want. Norway and Switzerland show that you can have a beneficial relationship with the EU and still have a bouyant home economy. As for immigration, when are we going to get away from the insidious link made by the left many years ago between immigration and racism. They are two completely different things. Every country on this planet (all the time we have 200+ countries of course) needs to have a workable, fair and acceptable policy primarily to protect the interests of those already living and working in that country, whether they be born there or just working on a temporary work visa. Anyone who thinks we have had an Immigration Policy that meets those requirements at ANY time in the last 50-60 years knows NOTHING about how our pathetic immigration 'system' works - I worked at the Home Office and have seen it first hand. It needs tightening up HUGELY. That is what UKIP want to do - they do NOT want anyone who is an immigrant living here feeling threatened - UKIP is NOT the BNP,EDL or anything else which is an affront to the British sense of fair play (an old concept, but one which still exists) and I do not see where the British population would stand for any such policy. If it did, we would have had a National Front government years ago. As for UKIP's other policies (which those who have most to lose from their success deride as 'non-existent'), I am all for the mass re-introduction of Grammar Schools. Our children have been done a dis-service by the educational idealists for far too long. Every child in our schools should be entitled to an education which meets their needs - whether they be highly intelligent/gifted or have differing needs which require something out of the mainstream. Those who ARE at the top intellectually have a duty to use that intellect to the benefit of others as they go through life. How the hell does anyone think they are going to do that if they are stifled in a Comprehensive or Academy where everything is done at the level of the average student??? What we will - no, HAVE ended up with is a nation of average students with a lack of initiative and the motivation of a snail. All this to satisfy the upper-middle class guilt of the idealists. NHS - UKIP has stated that they will leave the NHS largely intact, except for devolving control down more to a local level. I could go on, but I rather feel I am boring everyone already. I don't agree with everything UKIP stands for, but when I voted Conservative, Labour and Liberal (have done for all of them over the years) I didn't agree with all their policies either - you will never find Utopia in a single manifesto. But when I, as the average bloke in the street, feel that parties who I trusted with my vote - something I prize VERY highly - have taken it for their own ends, then turned around and shown me and the rest of the population what amounts to contempt, what do they expect? Am I really going to sit back and let it continue? No. UKIP has ridden a wave on discontent among the electorate, that is undeniable, and now it will be down to them to show they can get their act together fully and demonstrate they are a party which has a viable alternative to what has gone before. Whether they can do that remains to be seen but, for now, they offer a set of alternatives on a number of issues which matter to ME. | |||

"They made a deal which involved them breaking every election promise they made, Sounds like any of the other parties then. When was the last time a government kept to its manifesto ????? They may not be perfect but they are making some very big waves. 1997 New Labour.....probably kept more pledges than any modern government since the second world war. Kept more ?? isnt quite the same as sticking to your promises though. In any other field they would be sacked for breach of contract. Lets start with these 12 1997 manifesto pledges then.... 1.Devolution for Wales and Scotland with their own parliaments and law making powers 2.Reform of the House of Lords 3.Working to bring the Olympics to Britain 4.Major London Underground improvements and investment 5.Minimum Income Guarantee for pensioners 6.Decentralisation of the Crown Prosecution Service 7.More frontline Police Officers 8.Firearms Amendment Act 9.Real Terms rise in NHS spending 10.Cut NHS waiting lists 11.National Minimum Wage 12.Working Family Tax Credits Twist it how you like....all 1997 pledges that were delivered
the last labour government were really good for britain,had gordon brown been as competent a party leader,as he was chancellor,labour would still be in power.
Time for a McEnroe moment.
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS
I think they were. Just when you think you have read everything on here, another load of bollocks appears. Brown as .Chancellor bankrupted the UK. As PM he was inept to say the least!"ben it always amazes me,when the world wide recession comes up,seemingly intelligent,reasonable people like yourself,lose all sense of rational thought,and logic. the world wide recession,was WORLD WIDE (why do some find that so hard to comprehend), to lay the blame at the last labour governments door,now that is bollox. in fact,the last labour government left the country in a favourable position,by comparison with most other developed countries. i better say it again,see if it helps, the recession was WORLD WIDE!!!!. on immigration,all talk of immigration control is not racist. immigration is an ever evolving situation,so immigration law must also be ever evolving. remembering that everyone wants a better life,for themselves,and their families.if moving to the uk gives them that better life,why shouldn't they,if the shoe were on the other foot, wouldn't you or i. also remembering,that the vast majority of people who consider themselves purely british,have a wee bit of that johnny foreigner dna lurking within. | |||

"apparently, after a quick google, we put 118 Billion pounds into the EU last year. Last year the UK borrowed 120Billion pounds, makes sense to leave the EU The freeze on immigrants coming over here without a job, or with no intention of getting a job and just go on benefits, would probably make you your other 2Billion Wouldn't that be the UK recession solved? Or do i know too little about UK economy" £118 Billion?.......close, actually the net UK contribution to the EU in 2011 was £11.9 Billion..... | |||

"Many freedoms have been eroded. Did you know that you can be put in the cells because of somethig you say. The legal test is not whether what you said was offensive - but whether someone 'perceives' it as racist. What better way is there for a tyrant - even a tuppeny hapenny politically correct tyrant - to silence someone. Did you know that you can be sacked from some jobs if your opinions are deemed unacdceptable - like the old West German verufsverbot. Is that hilarious to you? If it is, you value your autonomy very poorly - please don't rate mine the same. Hate crime and its language is not only about 'being racist.. or what better way for the bigots to have to keep their views to themselves..? as for ones opinions at work, why not just leave them at the door if you cant convey them in an unoffensive way..? Actually I have asked the question as well. On here and via pm and I have not had a reply. it never ceases to make me go when people think 'their rights' are being eroded and the country's gone to the dogs because they cant speak in a manner that is possibly going to be offensive..

Fruit and veg picking is a prime (but not only) example of how the immigration rules are skewed. We import manual labour (mostly from Eastern Europe) who quite legitimately come work in the UK. The jobs they take are usually low paid and therefore attract top up benefits from the taxpayer. At the same time local kids sit at home living on other benefits paid for by the very same taxpayers who get hit twice. Surely dragging the locals away from their playstations for a few hours a day and paying them in wages and top ups the same as the immigrants, thus saving their benefits would be a much more progressive way forward. | |||

"I'm afraid that UKIP may make all the right noises for people, but every discussion I've had with their more vocal supporters has lead to claims from them that sound more BNP/EDL than their party leaders would like. As for manifestos Political parties cannot follow every manifesto point as we live in a democracy and we have to allow not just for the majority but also the minority. Policies have always been subject to debate, voting and compromise. Why would we expect all policies to be followed through? Naive in the extreme, just in the way that saying that UKIP has the answers." The reason UKIP are doing well on the back on immigration, is they are filling the vacuum that the main parties have left by not dealing with the problem of immigration. When labour were in power, those in charge wildly underestimated the amount of eastern europeans who would want to come over here when the EU restrictions were lifted, so how can anyone trust what those in charge say now?. | |||

" As I said, I was tired and emotional. However, a friend on mine was a UKIP member down in Devon. He has recently become upset that there have been a large number of ex EDL and BNP members joining as they see it as a more acceptable party in the media to be a member of. So much so he left UKIP and stood as an independent last week. And lets not beat around the bush, UKIP is only about stopping immigration, which they say helped cause the downfall of the UK. And leaving the EU for the same reason. That's it. They appeal to the bulldog owning white cliffs of dover singing "the world was better when we ran it" crowd. Quite a lot of casual racism abounds, particularly among the older generation, of which there are rather a lot these days. And they're the ones who vote, more than your younger more liberal people who've actually met gay people or immigrants. I know a 75 year old who constantly posts nationalist shite on his facebook wall. Some of it is truly appalling. Disaffected Tories are joining up and the mainstream is worried as we all should be. When this sort of party starts to gain a foothold based on nothing but people's fears then you really ought to be worried. That is a fact bourne out by history. | |||

"It's rare in this country to have a majority so technically just over 30% of us could dictate what the othe 70%have to put up with Still the majority of those who voted" Not really, the majority may well have voted for nine different parties or more, what do we do about the 65%+ who didn't vote for the manifesto? Tough shit perhaps? And then you'll ask me how come this is a dictatorship? Seriously, let's say the half wits called UKIP get in with 39% of the vote, that's 61% who don't agree with their one actually policy, however now, due to your law it has to be passed. What's that if not a dictatorship? What if the majority don't vote for UKIP (deedums) and they don't get in, can one of the other parties now outlaw them because it's in their manifesto? A manifesto is a proposal to work towards, some things will be left and some will be worked on . Some policies will be in their because some of their party (not all) wanted It in the manifesto, what then? The sad truth is that people only want this idea brought forward when it suits them a bit like free speech and free will etc. | |||
