peterms Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yet another kipper outed for nasty, racist views. Kerry Smith has quit as Ukip’s candidate in a seat targeted by the party after being forced to apologise for a series of offensive comments. In recordings of phone calls obtained by the Mail on Sunday, the would-be MP was said to have mocked gay party members as “poofters”, joked about shooting people from Chigwell in a “peasant hunt” and referred to someone as a “Chinky bird”. They were revealed just days after he was reinstated as the party’s general election candidate in South Basildon and East Thurrock. He initially apologised and explained that he had been under great stress at the time of the comments and taking strong painkillers. But in a statement, he said: “I have this evening offered my resignation as Ukip PPC for South Basildon and East Thurrock. “I want the best for South Basildon and East Thurrock and I want to see the real issues discussed that touch the lives of people. “Therefore I have chosen to resign so that Ukip can win this seat next May.”I supposes this poses two questions. Is it actually news that another senior figure in UKIP, chosen as their public face in a high profile contest, is in fact a nasty racist word removed? Second, in respect of his excuse for his remarks, what sort of painkiller is it that makes you spout a pile of racist/homophobic shite? Prescription only, I imagine.

mjmooney Posted December 15, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2014 The media report these stories like they are bad news for UKIP, and will lose them votes. Nothing could be further from the truth, they'll get even more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockingbird_franklin Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Prides purge breaks the truth about UKIP BREAKING! Nigel Farage not real – parody created by sixth formers 23 Tuesday Dec 2014 Posted by Tom Pride in sarcasm ≈ 8 Comments Tags open government, politics, UKIP (satire?) In a surprise announcement, a group of sixth formers in Canterbury have admitted UKIP leader Nigel Farage is not actually real and that they created him as part of a phone app’ parodying right-wing politicians. The app’ – which features a character called ‘Nigel’ who resides in a BBC TV studio and likes to kick women who don’t clean behind the fridge off the White Cliffs of Dover – was developed by a group of five 18-year-olds at the Canterbury Academy who work under the name FonGames. The school’s principal Phil Karnavas however, expressed surprise that some people could believe the blazer-wearing, authoritarian, neo-Thatcherite character ‘Nigel’ – who pretends he’s a libertarian despite not liking foreigners and homosexuals much – was real. In a statement Mr Karnavas said: “Obviously ‘Nigel’ is a parody. I mean for heaven’s sake, he’s a public school, white, middle-class, city trader from Kent who pretends he is an anti-establishment outsider and thinks the UK can improve its weather by banning gay marriage. Surely nobody in their right mind could believe he was for real. Could they?“ Edited December 23, 2014 by mockingbird_franklin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 UKIP Thanet South Chairman was unsurprisingly in the NF. The Ukip party chairman in Thanet South has said he “obviously regrets" his time as a member of the far-right National Front (NF) party in an interview. Ukip leader Nigel Farage is standing as an MP in Thanet South in the 2015 general Election, a constituency currently held by Conservative MP Laura Sandys. Martyn Heale, who has been a member of Ukip for over a decade, joined the NF in the 1970s for over a year. He told the BBC it is “really depressing” to be reminded of his past, adding: "I obviously regret what I did." The comments below are worth reading too.

Genie Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Isn't it about time the great British tabloid press exposed him for something in his private life causing him to run off and live in the first hole he can find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Isn't it about time the great British tabloid press exposed him for something in his private life causing him to run off and live in the first hole he can find? Surely defeating Farage/UKIP on the policy arguments would be more effective than tabloid slander? Such as why Grammar schools are a terrible idea, or how law makers being accountable to the UK electorate is so preposterous, or how having a managed, non discriminatory immigration policy is just horrendously racist... BTW, if you come up with convincing answers to the above then you'd be a shoe-in for Labour, Tory or Lib Dem leader. "Nigel goosed my hamster" might be the traditional Campbell / McBride approach towards campaigning for GE 2015 but I'm not sure it would work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger point is whether it's relevant to whatever he is doing today or wishes to do in the future. If not it's just tittilating gossip for the knitting circle - and who really gives a banana what people like that think anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismail-villa Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Seems like the ever so lovely (obvious sarcasm) has been voted The Times Briton of the Year.

Disgusting considering many others were rightful contenders such as Stephen Sutton and others. To be fair, they gave it to George Osbourne last year and I think maybe Alex Salmond the year before - so it's clearly not something to take too seriously. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting considering many others were rightful contenders such as Stephen Sutton and others. Like or dislike of Farage, the Euros this year were the first nationwide elections won by a party other than Labour or the Tories in the last 100 years. It's pretty clear he was the architect of that and despite the anti UKIP onslaught by main stream media in the run up to voting. In the scheme of things that is an incredible achievement, so it's more a fair recognition of that fact than disgusting - IMHO. Had that Aussie lass from the greens done it instead of Farage I'm pretty sure many here would have been frothing at the gash.

He's practically a Daily Mail robot - he's been built up and publicised by the Mail and the Murdoch group and is almost completely their baby, their representative in politics - he exists to represent their views and as a punishment for those parties that have sought to bring them to heel. I don't think any leader has ever before been more dependent on, or more a product of, the mainstream media. I'm not sure what you've been reading! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted December 27, 2014 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2014 “The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum....” Noam Chomsky. Or to put it another way - keep em distracted talking endlessly about immigration whilst we carve up the economy to suit our needs; that's what Farage is, he's a distraction, created and supported by those with most to gain under the pretence of democratic process. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
