After that C4 'drama', 'The First 100 Days', no thanks.
I find the current political agendas by the networks to be divisive and biased, to say the least. |

"Nigel was in the area, the one he is going to be standing for as an MP, but he couldn't be seen in the area in case he came across anti-UKIP people.  "
wasn't there another recent event where he had to cancel due to a protest..?

It's amazing that these people are holding positions of influence and power. This woman who thought stating negroid features was ok, because it was just a description. She admits she dislikes them because of their features, not because of who they are as people - unbelievable!
I'm never going to start a clown collection after seeing this show. |

I was distracted at first, as a lily livered liberal, by what seems to be an appalling lack of decent gentlemen's hairdressers in Thanet. That afflicted both left wing and right wing as far as I could see.
I don't agree with UKIP, but understood the pain that their press officer was going through before she resigned. Some of the things that some UKIP representatives said should have been truly embarrassing for the party. On the other hand, I admired the way some of the party officials stood up to the ranting and in your face raving from people who stood for the left (who were even more in need of a good barber).

"The white man likes to play divide and rule"
"The British invented racism"
"Blonde haired blue eyed Finns should not be nurses as they have never seen a black person"
What do people think of those quotes?
They were made by a high profile labour front bench mp and leadership candidate. This mp has not been expelled from the party as this ukip non entity has been.
Can people really not see that there are idiots in all parties?
I honestly believe that BS like this only serves to help ukip, it certainly did in the euro elections. |

What I've learnt from nearly twenty years in the green party is.
Nobody actually wants to be saved.
You can impose your own views on people but in the end there'll vote like they always have done, in their own interests and with their own moral judgement. |

Whilst I don't support UKIP's main policy of the UK leaving the EU I also don't think that believing that that is a good idea is necessarily racist.
However, as we are seeing very clearly in the case of UKIP, having such a policy will attract both xenophobes and racists.
I personably will not be playing the race card against UKIP as I believe that the issues of our EU membership are serious enough and, presented well and properly, the arguments for are continued membership will win out in a free and open discussion of the issues.
Some of these arguments have been made on this forum under UKIP, UKIP 2 and UKIP 3 (which I'm just about to start up after I've finished this post)
But I do find it difficult not to have a little chuckle to myself every time a UKIPper scores yet another own goal.

It's just media bullshit, first they push left wing tax evading jingoism, then they push right wing benefit cheating, then they push ukip racism.
It's bollocks like thousands of poppies pouring out of castles, it's subliminal messaging that they want to rub off on the very bad things they do.
Good wars/bad wars merge into patriotism so now you don't see bad wars you just patriots and patriots never do anything bad!.
Benefit cheats and immigration and racism all roll into one, so you can't question anything without being attached to the idiots that they portray.
It's a constant bombardment of the people in such an intricate arrangement that most people can't see any facts or can't debate anything without being connected to the subliminal message they've attached to it.
the 911 fallout goes on 15 years after its ending. |

It's very telling that the Ukippers on Fab are far more interested in trying to draw attention to issues in other parties than looking at the racists in their own party of choice.
It's the same every time a prominent Ukipper makes one of their tediously regular racist gaffes. 'No, UKIP aren't racist! Look over there!' |

I find it very very sad that not one of the main political parties (or the fringe 'Green Party for all its whining about wanting to be included) are able to take on UKIPs gaining traction in the political landscape and challenge it with sensible debate and counter arguments.
Instead, the 'opiate of the masses' has been deployed to try and 'hatchet-job' them though editorializing and detestable dramatizations.
Is this what the political landscape has been reduced to? |

"Thanks Lickety - I'm a big Womans Hour regular, so will get it on."
They are coming across well. Clear, coherent and consistent in their views.
WH have had to make the point that they are not singling out UKIP for this feature as they have already done the main parties and Plaid Cymru.

People who support UKIP are doing so out of blind prejudice and ignorance. Sensible debate or argument will not change that.
Of course, neither will holding up a mirror to the party's racism, or mocking the party's 'policies' through satire and drama, so it's a moot point anyway. |

No one wants to directly challenge UKIP, they would rather undermine them through media subversion.
Why? Because theirs a real proability that UKIP will hold a power balance post the election in May and all three main parties realise that a coalition with them is a real political prospect - so no one wants to really piss them off because they may have to cosy up to them.
Thats why Farage hasn't announced a full-on manifesto and policies - and he wont. Hes seen the drubbing the Lib-Dems have taken after getting steamrollered by the Tories in coalition and how they've turned themselves into a 'political wilderness' party for the next 12 years. |

People are voting UKIP becuase
a) The Tories have fucked every front line service in this country and will keep fucking them if re-elected
b) Labour have Ed Milliband and no sense of direction. Plus they are blamed with sleepwalking this country into the financial crisis.
c) The Lib Dems sold their souls to get a taste of power, then got fucked over by the Tories. Who wants to vote for a party that rolls over on its principles?
d) The Green Party have no clue whatsoever.
Yes, UKIP are feeding into the fears of many. They are also taking advantage of a political vacuum. This not their fault, that's the fault of every other major party.
History tells us that far-right ideology often rises up in times of great financial and social upheaval. Liberalisim goes out of the window when there's not enough for you and even less for everyone else. |

These are good examples of the current media bias against Ukip.
They don't even try to hide it. For example. The Daily Mail's headline on the website the other day showed Farage posing for a photo with an unknown face from the general public who god knows how many weeks/months/years later was on the Paris tube with a gang of Chelsea supporters who stopped a black guy boarding. (there is no evidence that he was involved in incident just that he was there BTW) The anti Ukip mob were falling over themselves to find a link and sure enough they found one, obscure yes but one was found.
Then today we have a story about two former ministers of the crown caught with their fingers well and truly in the till. Where is the story? top of the page? Not bloody likely. It's buried below the Oscars, the weather, three story's about IS. a moan about supermarket checkout's, and how to save a few quid on a train ticket. No bias? My arse.
Like all of the other party's Ukip has its share of nutters and fruitcakes and I have no problem with the worst ones being exposed. But until we get similar programmes such as "Meet the Lefties/Greenies/Tory's Etc. then programmes like this will always be, rightly, accused of bias.
I missed out Lib Dems because there are not enough left to meet. |

"I do find it lamentable that policies and rhetoric seem to have been lost to politics today.
I think Alec Salmond may end up being the kingmaker, rather than Nigel Garage, though.
"
This is the most likely scenario. The SNP will win a lot of seats. For their support the SNP will demand further devolution of powers to Scotland while maintaining influence over English, Welsh and Northern Irish legislation. Will the main parties sell their souls to secure power or refuse to be blackmailed?? |

I think ukip gave already peaked, and I'll go out on a limb and say not only won't they win a single seat in their own right but that reckless will lose his seat (carswell might hold his but with a slim majority).
N.B. Nige is so incoincidental that the spell check doesn't even recognise the name and constantly changes it to garage |

I did like the lib dems response to this scenario on question time a couple of weeks ago. He basically said that he couldn't envisage any party going into a coalition with a party whose main aim is the break up of the country!

Great post.
We all know the media is biased, like the big two and half parties they are running scared that the upstarts from UKIP might up set the apple cart and start changing things.

Would anyone bemoaning 'bias' that they perceive with the programme (which ukip were more than happy to go along with btw) have wanted the comments in question to have been edited out..?
and if anyone does think that then they would have to have the same view for when other members in other parties show the same ignorant and racist opinions yes..?
is it that with some the opinion is ok..? |

While the media is clearly guilty of helping do its bit to make UKIP look like fools, they are also guilty of giving a tiny minority party disproportionate media coverage.
So, the media has also shown extreme bias to UKIP's advantage. Yet you don't get many ukippers frothing at the mouth over that, oddly enough. |

Then you have a very selective memory. Labour have been attacked by the media for as long as I can remember.
On the subject of media biasis how do you feel about UKIPs disproportionate appearances on QT? Or their proposed participation in the pre-election TV debates? Or is that different? |

what some can't accept is that whilst there are members of this party who continue to act in such a way that the 'media' find so news worthy, the answer is with the party in how it has been a purely immigration is bad party to where they are trying to take it to now..
it has attracted those who are only interested in one aspect and its those who keep opening their mouths and letting their ignorant racism flow out..
the issue has become less about their policies across the board and immigration only..
blaming the messenger is the wrong tack, sort the issue out.. |

On a slightly separate but related subject, did anyone see the results of the survey by YouGov that reviewed voting intention? It then asked whether any of those people felt that they held prejudiced views about race, and then asked if they felt they held racist views.
For anyone discussing media bias here, the results were interesting ... |

""I need to take her aside and suggest, actually you need to tone down some of these comments... I just sat there thinking, and you're a councillor already."
You can't make it up.
Good job she was expelled from the party really. In other news tonight Jack Straw (former Labour Home secretary) and Malcolm Rifkind (Conservative MP) both hitting the headlines for accepting cash bribes in exchange for "influence" in government. Seems the Labour party have now suspended Jack Straw but will he be expelled or Malcolm Rifkind for that matter?........I doubt it.
You missed the bit about why chuka umana avoided answering questions about tax dodging 5 times on the telly. Apparently he has just received a £5k tax free payment from a company in Dubai!
Couldn't bloody make it up!
These are good examples of the current media bias against Ukip.
They don't even try to hide it. For example. The Daily Mail's headline on the website the other day showed Farage posing for a photo with an unknown face from the general public who god knows how many weeks/months/years later was on the Paris tube with a gang of Chelsea supporters who stopped a black guy boarding. (there is no evidence that he was involved in incident just that he was there BTW) The anti Ukip mob were falling over themselves to find a link and sure enough they found one, obscure yes but one was found.
Then today we have a story about two former ministers of the crown caught with their fingers well and truly in the till. Where is the story? top of the page? Not bloody likely. It's buried below the Oscars, the weather, three story's about IS. a moan about supermarket checkout's, and how to save a few quid on a train ticket. No bias? My arse.
Like all of the other party's Ukip has its share of nutters and fruitcakes and I have no problem with the worst ones being exposed. But until we get similar programmes such as "Meet the Lefties/Greenies/Tory's Etc. then programmes like this will always be, rightly, accused of bias.
I missed out Lib Dems because there are not enough left to meet.
Great post.
We all know the media is biased, like the big two and half parties they are running scared that the upstarts from UKIP might up set the apple cart and start changing things.
Sits, watches and smiles"
Having watched the programme my overwhelming feeling was pity for such a cast of sad dysfunctional people
However I suppose they have managed to get the attention they crave.
Surely the staunchest UKIP supporter must have felt dismayed with the quality of those charged with driving Farage's election campaign in Thanet
Meanwhile..Sits, watches and smiles |

Seems very selective about the news you've seen in the papers over the past months. |

Because tge press have never slated any other party ever have they?
Of course they have, but to this extent? I think (know) not.
Then you have a very selective memory. Labour have been attacked by the media for as long as I can remember.
On the subject of media biasis how do you feel about UKIPs disproportionate appearances on QT? Or their proposed participation in the pre-election TV debates? Or is that different? "
Spot on..Gordon Brown and the 'bigoted' Gillian Duffy for those with short memories |
